今日感慨：无

2008-12-15T13:59:00.002Z

灵光一闪，网上啃到了袁岳的博客，于是乎，崇拜、敬仰、欢喜之情扑面而来...... 老袁可算是上海滩上的大忙人了，其博客却每日更新，阅之，可完全钦佩于作者知识面的广博，且多有创意。
鄙人遂决定坚持每日一博，权当练手。有这么一位伟大的偶像在前面，还不奋起直追吗！可是，坐在电脑前，搜藏刮肚竟无从下笔，拿来今日各大报刊，粗粗阅览，均不知该发表何种见解，原来自己脑袋空空，竟无一物呀！
Oh,my God! 这个问题真得非常严重，窃以为，这就是能人和俗人的区别了吧。谢谢老袁，让我及时看清楚了自己的真实面目。人活一世，一定要证明自己曾经存在过的价值，不是吗？！
决定：多读书，读好书，多总结，多思考！

其实，不难！重要的是--坚持！

一天天，一年年

2008-09-25T07:50:00.004Z

每天，要精彩，要快乐，要知足！

很严肃地思考了一下，怎么才能做好自己，活好每一天，于是乎，很认真地记录了如下若干条：

1. 坚持运动。根据目前情况，继续每日超过1个小时的运动量。

2. 晚餐清淡。饮食以素菜，鱼虾为主。

3. English, English... 不变的追求

4. 不怕困难，经受历练！有经历的人生才是有血有肉地！对人，对事，皆适用！

5. 拓展朋友圈。不过，找到谈得来的还真不是一件容易的事情耶！

6. 最后，嘿嘿，promote my appearance。学会扮靓啦~~~

哦，不能忘了，还要多做善事......

Presidential Class

2007-07-23T19:31:00.000Z

by: Leo Hickman

Tony Blair,

Britain

Tony Blair’s beloved RAF VC-10 has been phased out. But should he get a brand-new $80m jet, or, as the treasury would prefer, earn some air miles on scheduled flights instead? Leo Hickman looks at other world leaders to get some tips on how to arrive at that summit meeting in style.

You know how it is. You’re trying to impress the world leader to the right of you at some deadly dull world summit dinner, and before you know it you get on to the subject of what type of jet you each have at your disposal. While he lavishly details the plush leather trim of his executive desk, and bores on about how many settings his Jacuzzi has, you can only boast about being allowed to hold the controls during the tour of the cockpit.

In the new age of long-haul shuttle diplomacy, how a president or prime minister gets from A to B has never been so important. Downing Street and the Ministry of Defence recently decided that the traditional RAF VC-10 fleet wasn’t really what Tony Blair ought to be seen flying around in and announced that it was to decommission the planes at the end of the year. But the replacement has reportedly led to tensions between the prudent Gordon Brown and the jet-setting prime minister. Downing Street is keen for a new $80m aircraft that boasts the very latest in communications, and the MoD is keen on better security, whereas Brown is conscious of this week’s government spending review bids.

Nicknamed “Blair Force One” by Whitehall, Blair’s dream aircraft would mena an end to him having to travel on scheduled flights with British Airways and the RAF Hercules, in which he recently touched down in Kabul. But despite losing out on all those air miles (dubbed “Blair Miles” by the press), by getting his own plane, Blair would join an elite group – the world leaders who really know how to travel in style.

Vladimir Putin, Russia

Fed up with Moscow’s infamous traffic jams and tailbacks, last year the state Duma finally stood up to its limo-loving president and voted 262-1 to order him to abolish the archaic practice of blocking roads for the passage of official convoys of any level. Things had come to a head when reports surfaced that Putin was demanding local police block off roads in both directions, hours ahead of his entourage passing through. On one trip to St Petersburg to meet with his Austrian counterpart, dozens of motorists were left trapped for hours in their cars in freezing temperatures while police waited for Putin to pass.

Putin also raised eyebrows on a trip to London a few months after being elected in 2000. On his request, a 13-strong motorcade was flown in, including two armoured Russian Zil limousines and a Mercedes. In tow were 50 aides and up to 100 security men, all wearing none-too-subtle white macs.

George Bush, US

When George Bush jets into Japan on Saturday for the first leg of his Far East tour, he will do so aboard the best perch of them all – Air Force One. The “Flying white House” is a 30-year-old tradition started at the request of JFK. Today, the US president has two Air Force Ones, each one kitted out in luxury trim worthy of only the most powerful man on Earth. Standing five storeys high and weighing 400 tons, Air Force One can provide the president, his aides, security personnel and traveling press corps with up to 2,000 meals a trip, and more than 85 telephone lines (28 of them secure). Just in case Bush forgets who he is, the presidential seal is emblazoned on the seatbelt buckles, pillows, mugs, napkins and even his shaving kit. His father was so impressed by the plane that he would get to the airport the night before a trip, go to bed and wake up mid-flight. Jimmy Carter remarked that when he first traveled aboard Air Force One, he was so excited “we forgot my mother”.

Gloria Arroyo, Philippines

President Arroyo caused a bit of a scandal back home last November during a visit to Ground Zero in New York. With commercial air security particularly tight for those flying into New York, the story goes that Arroyo didn’t want the inconvenience of landing at one of the city’s three main airports, as would be the norm for her. So in she came with her entourage on a rented 20-seater private Lear jet. A Filipino TV crew was stopped from filming her arrival at a small, private airport in New Jersey, and the discontent grew louder when here finance secretary couldn’t confirm how the flight had been paid for.

Thabo Mbeki, South Africa

The government had it all planned: the president needed transport befitting the leader of one of Africa’s largest nations. It couldn’t suffer the embarrassment of having to borrow a jet from a Saudi Arabian prince again when Mbekis jet broke down the previous year, so it authorized $38m to be spent buying a business jet from either Boeing or Airbus. In the end the order was placed for a modified Boeing 737-700 and everything was going fine until someone realized that South Africa couldn’t boast a pilot with enough experience to fly the nation’s president.

Kim Jong II, North Korea

With a life-long fear of flying, how do you get to that important summit in Moscow if you live thousands of miles away in North Korea? Yes, you take a leaf out of Denis Bergkamp’s book and book a train – even if the journey does take 10 days. So off set Kim Jong II in a 21-carriage armoured train laden with his favourite foods – roast donkey (listed as “heavenly cow” by the restaurant car) and lobster. The entire length of the 6,200 mile track was peppered with security and every time the train stopped thousands of soldiers would surround it. Still, it’s the gesture that counts: it was only the third time he had ever left his homeland, the two previous jaunts being to China.

Jacques Chirac, France

Can you imagine the president of France traveling in anything other than a homegrown car? Chirac loves nothing more than arriving at functions as head of state in his Citroen CX Prestige. What’s more, his run-around is now over 20 years old. Even though production ceased in 1989, Chirac still refuses to trade it in for a more stately Merc or Jag. The model does have a tradition of loyal followers among leaders, but none that Chirac would probably want to be grouped with. Both East Germany’s Erich Honecker and Nicaragua’s Anastasio Somoza were fans.

Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe

It comes as no surprise that last year Big Bad Bob ordered an Air Zimbabwe flight, en route from Gatwick to Harare, to divert to Spain to pick up him and his family. He had been receiving treatment there at an eye clinic. About 100 passengers were left stranded at Gatwick so that the pilots could nip over to collect him.

Later on in the same week 40 passengers were again left stranded in London when he ordered another Air Zimbabwe flight to divert and pick up more of his entourage. The airline was forced to pay $200 per passenger for a night’s complementary stay at a nearby hotel. The final bill came to $15,400.

Colonel Gadafy, Libya

Never one to be outdone, Col Gadafy flew into Zimbabwe for a summit last year with three planes and a 250-strong entourage. When his presidential convoy pulled out of the airport it stretched back fro more that a mile.

The year before he decided to travel across his country’s inhospitable deserts from Tripoli to another summit in Egypt – overland. He had, however, probably learned his lesson about transporting his beloved camels with him by air on a previous trip to Belgrade. Then he had turned up in Serbian capital with two horses and six camels aboard his private plane. Understandably perplexed, the local authorities allowed him to graze the camels in front of his hotel, where he had pitched his tent and was serving fresh camel milk to his aides. They failed to see the funny side, though, when he sought permission to ride one of his white chargers to a conference. Disheartened, he flew out of Belgrade leaving the camels behind as a “present” to the local zoo.

President Nazarbayev, Kazakhstan

When you win 78.3% of the vote in your country’s general election, and you are the only candidate, it seems you can choose whatever mode of transport you damn well wish. First, however, Kazakhstan’s President Nazarbayev decided to move the country’s capital, Almaty, 200 miles to the north, citing that the old one was too close to the Chinese border and too polluted.

The troubles began when he took charge of a brand new Lear jet and his aides failed to tell him that the airport at little known Akmola wasn’t really up to anything more than an old crop-duster landing on its dusty runway. It was immediately ordered that the runway be resurfaced, but how his aides must have sweated when his gleaming plane touched down with the asphalt still drying in the cool Kazakh wind.

The use of reading is to aid us in thinking.
--- Edward Gibbon

Reading, one of my favourite thing! Pretty like its smell, like the feeling of turning pages. It's just wonderful! Anyway, more important is books make me more intelligent and perceptive.

So far, my favourite book is "Priciples of Economics", by Mankiw! This book is an excellent introduction to fundamental basic economics. From this book, I've started to pay attention on economics and financial stuff. Actually, they are never far from us, they exist in our lives, day by day!

Currently, I am reading a historical novel: The other Boleyn Girl, by Philippa Gregory. I am awfully glad that I did! The author did a spendid job of envoking the complicated and turbulence of Henry VIII's court. With a few well words and phrases, Phillipa Gregory paints them as wildly ambitious, ruthless and pettily cruel individuals, willing to use each other in order to achieve a particular goal.

It's still raining... bloody damp summer! Anyway, I am still walking, still reading...

Never Settle

People settle for mediocrity for on reason: too lazy. I've seen it so often, people go into something they don't wanna go extra step, they know it's not gonna be great, might be ok, might be not that great. They settle for mediocrity, they are lazy.

Human Factor in Management

2007-05-13T21:20:00.000Z

11 Feb -- from Daily Drucker

Human Factor in Management
Management is about human beings.

The task of management is to make people capable of joint performance, to make their strengths effective and their weaknesses irrelevant. This is what organization is all about, and it is the reason that management is the critical, determining factor.

Management must be built on communications and on individual responsibility. All members need to think through what they aim to accomplish -- and make sure their associates know and understand that aim. All have to think through what they owe to others -- and make sure that others understand. All have to think through what they, in turn, need from others -- and make sure others know what is expected of them.

Management must enable the enterprise and each of its members to grow and to develop as needs and opportunities change.

Action Point: Are you a great actor in a terrible play? What are you going to do about it?

这是今天的感悟，来自于地产大亨:Donald Trump:

1. The leader wants to be popular, wants to be loved, that leader ultimately is not gonna make it.

2. More often a time, you see your opponent and you say it to yourself: "This is going to be easy." That's the worst thing you could do, never underestimate your opponent, assume your opponent is the toughest and smartest person in the world, because that can really leave the victory.

The Federal Reserve System(联邦储备局）

2007-03-26T21:34:00.000Z

此文帮助理解钱的源头！市面上流通的quatity of money是如何来决定数量的！

Whenever an economy relies on a system of fiat money, as the U.S. economy does, some agency must be responsible for regulating the system. In the United States, that agency is the Federal Reserve, often simply called the Fed. If you look at the top of a dollar bill, you will see that it is called a “Federal Reserve Note.” The Fed is an example of a central bank — an institution designed to oversee the banking system and regulate the quantity of money in the economy. Other major central banks around the world include the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, and the European Central Bank.

THE FED’S ORGANIZATION

The Federal Reserve was created in 1914, after a series of bank failures in 1907 convinced Congress that the United States needed a central bank to ensure the health of the nation’s banking system. Today, the Fed is run by its Board of Governors, which has seven members appointed by the president of the United States and confirmed by the Senate. The governors have 14-year terms. Just as federal judges are given lifetime appointments to insulate them from politics, Fed governors are given long terms to give them independence from short-term political pressures when they formulate monetary policy.

Among the seven members of the Board of Governors, the most important is the chairman. The chairman directs the Fed staff, presides over board meetings, and testifies regularly about Fed policy in front of congressional committees. The president appoints the chairman to a four-year term. As this book was going to press, the chairman of the Fed was Alan Greenspan, who was originally appointed in 1987 by President Reagan and later reappointed by Presidents Bush and
Clinton.

The Federal Reserve System is made up of the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, D.C., and 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks located in major cities around the country. The presidents of the regional banks are chosen by each bank’s board of directors, whose members are typically drawn from the region’s banking and business community.

The Fed has two related jobs. The first job is to regulate banks and ensure the health of the banking system. This task is largely the responsibility of the regional Federal Reserve Banks. In particular, the Fed monitors each bank’s financial condition and facilitates bank transactions by clearing checks. It also acts as a bank’s bank. That is, the Fed makes loans to banks when banks themselves want to borrow. When financially troubled banks find themselves short of cash, the Fed acts as a lender of last resort — a lender to those who cannot borrow anywhere else — in order to maintain stability in the overall banking system.

The Fed’s second and more important job is to control the quantity of money that is made available in the economy, called the money supply. Decisions by policymakers concerning the money supply constitute monetary policy. At the Federal Reserve, monetary policy is made by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). The FOMC meets about every six weeks in Washington, D.C., to discuss the condition of the economy and consider changes in monetary policy.

THE FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE

The Federal Open Market Committee is made up of the seven members of the Board of Governors and five of the 12 regional bank presidents. All 12 regional presidents attend each FOMC meeting, but only five get to vote. The five with voting rights rotate among the 12 regional presidents over time. The president of the New York Fed always gets a vote, however, because New York is the traditional financial center of the U.S. economy and because all Fed purchases and sales of government bonds are conducted at the New York Fed’s trading desk.

Through the decisions of the FOMC, the Fed has the power to increase or decrease the number of dollars in the economy. In simple metaphorical terms, you can imagine the Fed printing up dollar bills and dropping them around the country by helicopter. Similarly, you can imagine the Fed using a giant vacuum cleaner to suck dollar bills out of people’s wallets. Although in practice the Fed’s methods for changing the money supply are more complex and subtle than this, the
helicopter-vacuum metaphor is a good first approximation to the meaning of monetary policy.

We discuss later in this chapter how the Fed actually changes the money supply, but it is worth noting here that the Fed’s primary tool is open-market operations — the purchase and sale of U.S. government bonds. (Recall that a U.S. government bond is a certificate of indebtedness of the federal government.) If the FOMC decides to increase the money supply, the Fed creates dollars and uses them to buy government bonds from the public in the nation’s bond markets.
After the purchase, these dollars are in the hands of the public. Thus, an openmarket purchase of bonds by the Fed increases the money supply. Conversely, if the FOMC decides to decrease the money supply, the Fed sells government bonds from its portfolio to the public in the nation’s bond markets. After the sale, the dollars it receives for the bonds are out of the hands of the public. Thus, an openmarket sale of bonds by the Fed decreases the money supply.

The Fed is an important institution because changes in the money supply can profoundly affect the economy. One of the Ten Principles of Economics in Chapter 1 is that prices rise when the government prints too much money. Another of the Ten Principles of Economics is that society faces a short-run tradeoff between inflation and unemployment. The power of the FOMC rests on these principles. For reasons we discuss more fully in the coming chapters, the FOMC’s policy decisions have an important influence on the economy’s rate of inflation in the long run and the economy’s employment and production in the short run. Indeed, the chairman of the Federal Reserve has been called the second most powerful person in the United States.

The magic of Compounding and the Rule of 70

2007-03-20T16:44:00.000Z

Source: Chapter 24 By: Mankiw

It may be tempting to dismiss differences in growth rates as insignificant. If one country grows at 1 percent while another grows at 3 percent, so what? What difference can 2 percent make?

The answer is: a big difference. Even growth rates that seem small when written in percentage terms seem large after they are compounded for many years. Compounding refers to the accumulation of a growth rate over a period of time.

Consider an example. Suppose that two college graduates -- Jerry and Elaine -- both take their first jobs at the age of 22 earning $30,000 a year. Jerry lives in an economy where all incomes grow at 1 percent per year, while Elaine lives in one where incomes grow at 3 percent per year. Straightforward calculations show what happens. Forty years later, when both are 62 years old, Jerry earns $45,000 a year, while Elaine earns $98,000. Because of that difference of 2 percentage points in the growth rate, Elaine's salary is more than twice Jerry's.

An old rule of thumb, called the rule of 70, is helpful in understanding growth rates and the effects of compounding. According to the rule of 70, if some variable grows at a rate of x percent per year, then that variable doubles in approximately 70/x years. In Jerry's economy, incomes grow at 1 percent per year, so it takes about 70 years for incomes to double. In Elaine's economy, incomes grow at 3 percent per year, so it takes about 70/3, or 23, years for incomes to double.

The rule of 70 applies not only to growing economy but also to a growing savings account. Here is an example: In 1791, Ben Franklin died and left $5,000 to be invested for a period of 200 years to benefit medical students and scientific research. If this money had earned 7 percent per year (which would, in fact, have been very possible to do), the investment would have doubled in value every 10 years. Over 200 years, it would have doubled 20 times. At the end of 200 years of compounding, the investment would have been worth (2的20次方 * $5,000), which is about $5 billion. (In fact, Franklin's $5,000 grew to only $2 billion over 200 years because some of the money was spent along the way.)

As these examples show, growth rates compounded over many years can lead to some spectacular results. That is probably why Albert Einstein once called compounding "the greatest mathematical discovery of all time."

DOLLAR FIGURES FROM DIFFERENT TIMES

We mentioned the baseball player Babe Ruth's salary before. Was his salary of $80,000 in 1931 high or low compared to the salaries of today's players?

To answer this question, we need to know the level of prices in 1931 and the level of prices today. Part of the increase in baseball salaries just compensates players for the higher level of prices today. To compare Ruth's salary to those of today's players, we need to inflate Ruth's salary to turn 1931 dollars into today's dollars. A price index determines the size of this inflation correction.

Goverment statistics hsow a consumer price index of 15.2 for 1931 and 166 for 1999. Thus, the overall level of prices has risen by a factor of 10.9 (which equals 166/15.2). We can use these numbers to measure Ruth's salary in 1999 dollars. The calculaion is as follows:

Salary in 1999 dollars = Salary in 1931 dollars * ( Price level in1999 / Price levle in 1931 )
= &80,000 * ( 166/15.2 )
= $ 873,684

According to today's salary of baseball players, it is far less than the amout paid to them.

飕得一下, 月底到了!

Feb最后一天, 时间真是YaYa的快啊! 这才真是大忽悠呢!

每天的生活还是一样的简单, 简单到了无趣... 但是, 俺还是不断告诫自己, 这才是生活给予的厉练. 日子是不可荒废的...

春节到了, 家人看到俺, 都说胖了, 那就减肥! 运动是困难地, 就是走路也要看老天爷的脸, 也就只能控制控制饮食了. 哎, 也难, 没啥吃的, 一饿, 吃得都是高卡路里的. Whatever, just try my best!

这个月底还搬了家, 小了, 不过更温馨了. 之前的虽说大点, 可条件不好, 又冷又潮, 再咋掩盖, 屋里还是有股霉味. 得了, 谁叫便宜呢! 搬家呢, 累啊累! 东西咋就这么多呢! 俺的书呢, 通通运到学校, 衣服呢, 能捐得就捐了. 大过年的, 咱也讨个好彩头. 不过, 说实话, 要是能带回国内, 我倒宁可捐给国内的父老乡亲们呢! 不管怎么说, 物尽其用吧...

最近, 有点烦国内的那些个blog网站了, 象是新浪, 每天必上的, 当然, 现在还是很忠实的追捧一些偶的偶像, 不过, 首页上的那些个标题, 让人看了颇倒胃口. 比如, 林姐姐出家的内幕, 此新闻一出, 这些所谓的blogger就从四面八方, 张牙舞爪的盖过来了. 每个人都有自己的悟性, 都有自己对生活的选择方式, 关其他人屁事. 什么内幕啦, 真相啦... 挖空心思挖人隐私, 以博取名利. 两个字, 无聊! 四个字, 吃饱撑的! 这些人每天都在悬摸这些事, 意义何在? 一边是大智慧的林姐姐, 一边是真小人的伪君子, 不可比, 不可比哟!

困了, 半夜了, 三月到了. 这个月绝不能给忽悠了!

一家之言

2007-02-07T20:00:00.000Z

今天和老公聊天, 冷不丁的冒出了这么个"理论", 想想倒也颇为正确.
说是:
世界上聪明人很多, 可其中勤奋的有毅力的不多;
而有坚强意志力的, 又往往比较固执己见, 认死理儿. 不懂得变通.
所以,
成功的人毕竟是少的...

年少的时候, 但凡有些抱负的年轻人, 大部分都能归到上两个行列的其中之一. 然后, 经过摸打滚爬, 一系列的磨练后, 聪明的会意识到自己不够勤奋; 有毅力的会知道自己太刻板. 偶觉得, 要能意识到这点, 那已经是一个成功了. 要知道, 还有多少人碌碌无为的活着呢!

所以, 我还是幸运的, 意识到了自己的不足, 然后, 就改呗... 呵呵...

颇有共鸣

2007-02-05T11:09:00.000Z

静坐常思己过, 闲谈莫论人非.
能受苦乃为志士, 肯吃亏不是痴人.
敬君子方显有德, 怕小人不算无能.
退一步海阔天空, 知足者人心常乐!

一个人的办公室

2007-01-31T19:08:00.000Z

晚上, 坐在偌大的安静的办公室里, 感觉好舒服, 好舒服...

一本厚厚的英文书, 一台笔记本, 一杯茶... 这就是偶在英国的基本写照啦~~~ 简单, 但于我却是相当地满足.

最近睡得越来越晚, 要改, 要改. 还是决定要坚持早到学校, 偶就是要专拣别人不在的时候, 那是多安静啊! 不过, 话说回来, 早起倒不是问题, 就是每天背着电脑走半小时的路, 还真是很累, 主要是偶的背, 本来就有老毛病, 这样一来, 就更严重了! 不过, 想想一个人安静的清晨, 偶可是超向往地...

天气也开始回暖, 太阳落山已经延迟到了5点. 不过, 不指望什么大太阳的天气, 少下雨, 少刮风, 就很满足啦!

不废话了, 看书去了... :-)

Big Brother 大结局

2007-01-29T20:43:00.000Z

昨天 -- 1.28日晚, Celebrity Big Brother终于选出了优胜者 -- 来自India的女明星Shilpa.

这次的名人真人秀, 估计是受关注程度最高的一次了. 源于上周初, Jade与其他两位"美丽"女星对Shilpa的恶意攻击, 更严重的还涉及文化的鄙视和谩骂. 如此一来, 不出两天, 上了头版, 更严重到影响了两国友谊等等. (适逢那几天, 下任首相竞选者在India访问.)

那结果也可想而知, 此三位名人, 成了众矢之的, 国家公敌, 不仅被取消了所有商业活动, 事业的发展也遭遇重创, 前途未卜.

纵观此事, 其实就是个简单道理, 做人不易, 无论何时, 都不要嚣张!

人呢, 重要的是贵有自知之明, 水可载舟, 亦可覆舟. 这三位明星, 观众是你的衣食父母, 何况Jade并无任何优势, 可以说是稀里糊涂的通过数年前的Big Brother出了名, 还不好好珍惜, 如此张牙舞爪, 飞扬跋扈. 再说另一模特, outside是很不错, 那难道就能成为自己张扬的资本了吗? 看了相关报道, 此女朋友甚少, 因她惯于以压倒别人来抬高自己, 如此, 品质可见一般. 真是金玉其外, 败絮其中.

牢牢记住: 聪明人必是个low-key person; also, must be self-control, only few words could likely ruin your whole life.

1.24 下雪天!

2007-01-25T21:26:00.000Z

1.24

终于下雪了! 在四九即将结束时...
7点不到, 背着电脑, 走在冰冷的大街上, 黑黑的, 静静的...
好象只有踏在雪上发出的吱吱声和昏黄的街灯陪伴我
这是属于我一个人的宁静, 难得的宁静...

接着一定也会是难得的大晴天啦~~~

好日子, 也是平凡的日子!

2007-01-15T21:04:00.000Z

今天是个好日子! 天气比不得昨日的灿烂, 不过, 已经算不错了, 风不很大, 太阳小小地露了个脸, 满足啦~~~

再有做了个酸菜鱼, 味道是非常得好啊!

然后就是泡杯清茶, 灯下看书啦, 也是自己最喜欢的状态. 想来, 一直在抱怨英国的生活, 除了安静, 就是安静. 虽然少了聚会, 少了朋友, 郁闷的天气, 寒酸的饮食. 可是毕竟收获了这份难得的安静. 每天的生活也就归纳为吃饭, 睡觉, 读书, 上网. 相信, 若干年后, 我也一定会怀念这段宝贵的简单生活的日子.

珍惜这段岁月, 珍惜这简单生活, 那是为了未来积蓄能量, 期待博击长空的那一刻!

今天早上没到学校...:-(
一宿睡得浅, 都能感觉到屋外的萧萧风声. 5点多, 处在半梦半醒间, 痛苦的思考还去不去学校. 听听外面猛烈的风声, 还是放弃了, 继续睡觉...

sigh... 这几天起得早, 一天是特充实, 不过, 就是睡眠不足, 很大的原因就是晚上睡得不好, 想想应是自己生物钟的关系. 还要些时间调整...

天气不好, 冷... 对俺可是巨大地考验. 嘿嘿... 就是担心皮肤给吹皱咯!

Whatever, 明天继续...

说到做到

2007-01-03T18:42:00.000Z

虽说从昨天开始学校已经正式开门了, 不过, 自己今天才真正进入状态.
新年新气象, 好的开始, 好好学习, 努力工作... 应该很多人在新年伊始都会给自己定下一年计划之类的. 可是一直坚持实施的却又少之又少, 往往会演变成"那来年再说吧, 来年, 我一定..." 检讨的说, 自己就是这样的.
好了, 就这样, 一晃眼, 自己都惊讶于时间的飞快, 真真切切的感受到了时间就是从指间溜走了, 悄无声息, 不留情面!
是的, 当年龄变大, 才知道自己不能承受这样的"洒脱"; 尽管自己从来执着的相信年龄不能成为一个人成功与否的决定因素, 从来对网上抱怨自己年龄变大的留言嗤之以鼻. 当然, 年龄依然不是问题, 但不能成为浪费时间的借口.
年纪轻, 容许颓废, 因为这是成长的过程, 重要的是你在此过程中收获了什么;
年纪大些, 条条框框变得更多, 压力方方面面, 那请不要抱怨, 因为你已经拥有过张扬的年代, 更应该明确自己的人生道路和规划, 更应该自律.
所以, 我依然坚守年龄不是问题, 重要的是你在什么样的年龄段, 拥有什么样的思想和行为.
所以, 我决不允许自己随意的浪费生命中的每一天, 它要有意义, 要精彩...

言归正传, 今天就过得很有滋味. 早上6点就到学校, 读书, 直到9点, 然后回家吃早饭, 再接着学习. 中午睡一觉, 下午继续, 晚上再到学校. 很流水帐, 不过做起来很不容易. 值得骄傲一把的是, 又可以重新拥有早上的时间了, 这么早的时候到处都是那么安静, 效率颇高!

只是今天第一天, 还是会犯困, 生物钟的关系, 慢慢会习惯的了!

Summarize for 2006

2007-01-02T16:29:00.000Z

新的一年, 好象一切都可以从头开始, 其实不然, 一切的一切都是上一年的延续, 看看大家都在年尾的时候给自己来个全年总结, 真是很有必要的记录. 人生的成长和变化过程都不是一蹴而就的, 都是平时生活中一点一滴的积累. 不论是甜蜜的, 痛苦的, 都会记录在我们人生的轨迹中, 也会在不经意间改变我们的人生道路. 好象哲学中所说的, 质变的飞跃, 需要量变的积累!
那我也总结一下自己吧...
首先在人生观上(允许自己用这么看似高深的词儿吧):越来越沉迷于阅读各种书籍, 只要是有用的, 全盘接纳, 再有选择的吸收(毕竟精力有限), 看书多了, 自己的很多以前一直坚守的观点发生了很大的转变, 也可能年纪大了, 所以更具社会性, 更现实了; 经历了多多少少让我开心的, 压抑的事情, 也长大了, 敢于面对问题, 接受挑战了; 当然, 最重要的, 老公也教会了我很多...

其次, 学习上, 算是有较大进步吧, 不过, 还有很重要的关要闯, fingers crossed...

接着, 也是很重要的, 生活上: 快乐, 幸福...

旅行上: Switzerland, Madrid

New Year: Buxton

2007-01-01T19:43:00.000Z

Happy New Year, 2007!

Today, we have been to Buxton. It is the highest town(city? I am not sure) in Peak District. We only spent one hour there in terms of the windy, chilly weather. Not big centre, but very nice architectures and environment.

Holiday

2006-12-28T23:20:00.000Z

Merry X'mas, Merry X'mas!

Christmas day, still hectic! Even I got cold, we were shopping for a whole day in Birmingham centre. haha... bargain lots of stuff, just grasp these On Sale days... Only feel sorry for my poor health, blowing my nose and coughing.

Except shopping, also reading book, watching TV. Spending much little time on laptop, specially we couldn't log on to any China website because of the effect of earthquake in Taiwan. (the undersea cables was destroyed.)

Right, think about the new year's plan... ^O^

[转贴]橄榄油是个宝

2006-12-21T21:50:00.000Z

橄榄油的优点
橄榄油（Olive Oil）是由新鲜的油橄榄果实直接冷榨而成，不经加热和化学处理，保留了天然营养成分。颜色呈黄绿色，气味清香，是地中海沿岸各国人民的传统食用油。由于橄榄油营养成分丰富、医疗保健功能突出而被公认为绿色保健食用油，素有“液体黄金”的美誉。橄榄油当中含有较高的单不饱和脂肪酸（55~83%），即油酸。除了供给人体所需的大量热能外，还能调整人体血浆中高、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇的浓度比例。其中的亚油酸和亚麻油酸为人体所必需，但人体不能自身合成，食用过量对人体也有害。橄榄油中所含油酸、亚油酸和亚麻油酸的比例正好是人体所需的比例，类似母乳，这也是其他植物油所不具备的；同时橄榄油富含丰富的维生素A、D、E、F、K成分和胡萝卜素等脂溶性维生素及抗氧化物等，极易被人体消化吸收。研究表明，橄榄油如能长期食用，具有非常好的营养保健作用：能够降低胆固醇，防止心血管疾病的发生。对由于胆固醇浓度过高引起的动脉硬化以及动脉硬化并发症、高血压、心脏病、心力衰竭、肾衰竭、脑出血等疾病均有非常明显的防治功效。能够改善消化系统功能。有助于减少胃酸，防止发生胃炎、十二指肠溃疡等病，提高胃、脾、肠、肝和胆管的功能。刺激胆汁分泌，预防胆结石，减少胆囊炎的发生。橄榄油具有温和轻泄剂的作用，早晨空腹服用两汤勺对缓解慢性便秘具有意想不到的功效。能够防止大脑衰老，预防早老性痴呆。有助于增强人体对矿物质，如磷、锌、钙等的吸收，减少类风湿关节炎的发生。能够对一些类型的恶性肿瘤如前列腺癌、乳腺癌、肠癌、鳞状细胞和食道癌有抑制作用。能够保护皮肤，尤其能防止皮肤损伤和衰老，使皮肤具有光泽。对于肥胖者来说，经常食用橄榄油比少吃脂肪更能控制体重。

橄榄油的种类
根据加工方法的不同橄榄油可分为原生橄榄油（Virgin Olive Oil）和精炼橄榄油（Lampante Olive Oil或Refined Olive Oil）两大类，它们无论是在价格、营养成分还是使用方法上都有区别。原生橄榄油（天然橄榄油）。它是直接从新鲜的油橄榄果实中采取机械冷榨的方法榨取，经过过滤等处理除去异物后得到的油汁，加工过程中完全不经化学处理。此类橄榄油质量最佳，具有独特香味，金黄色中带有绿色，口感丰富，相当于一种果汁，可以直接食用或用于凉拌、沙拉，突显原汁原味。精炼橄榄油（二次油）。从1993年开始，西班牙通过采用溶解的方法从冷榨后的油渣中提取橄榄油。在通过脱色、除味等提炼过程后，其酸性值一般可降低到0.3%以下，虽然质量不及原生油，但味道也不错，价格较为平民。作为厨房里的常备油，煎、煮、烹、炸，随心所欲。橄榄油虽然价格偏贵，但是每次使用只要一点点。所以整体来说还是既经济又营养丰富。

背景知识
世界橄榄油主产国集中在地中海沿岸国家，主要为西班牙、意大利、希腊、突尼斯、土耳其、叙利亚、摩洛哥，这7个国家橄榄油产量占世界橄榄油总产量的90%。西班牙、意大利、希腊为世界最大的三大橄榄油生产商和出口商。西班牙橄榄油产量居世界之首，但出口量排在世界第二位，居意大利之后；意大利橄榄油产量居世界第二位，但却是最大消费国、最大的出口国，同时也是最大的进口国。

橄榄油营养丰富，冷热皆宜，可用于多种烹饪方法：
直接作为冷餐油。橄榄油直接使用会使菜肴的特点发挥到极致。在新鲜的蔬菜沙拉上或者炸好的牛排上淋一点橄榄油，使食物的口感更为丰富，滋味美妙。如果再加上一杯淳厚的葡萄酒，真是件快意之事。

用橄榄油煎炸。橄榄油可以反复使用不变质，它对氧化所引起的变质具有更强的抵御能力，是最适合煎炸的食品。偏爱煎炸类食品又注重养生的我们尽可放心使用。

用量：仅需一般食用油的三分之一，使用油成本大大降低。不用预热，不用呛锅，油烟少，不粘锅，不污染环境，炒出的菜肴不变色，清淡鲜亮，原汁原味，不糊不腻。
普通食用油高温产生过氧化反应物，对人体有害；橄榄油富含抗氧化剂，加热到200－220摄氏度也没有问题，煎炸食品最安全。

用橄榄油腌制。橄榄油是比较好的腌制原料，因为它容易渗进食物里面，并将腌料的味道带进去。
用橄榄油烘焙。将橄榄油涂抹在面包或者甜点上烘焙，那种香味，可远非奶油能比。
在烹煮意大利面时，加入橄榄油，可防止面条结块，使面条口感更加爽滑。

橄榄油妙用
年轻美丽不是梦传说中，古埃及艳后克里奥佩特拉每天清晨都用橄榄油擦遍全身，她那娇嫩的肌肤、乌黑的靓发，不但令世人艳羡，而且征服了盛气凌人的凯撒大帝。当代那些赫赫有名的明星们能够拥有健美的身材和年轻的容貌也得益于橄榄油的滋养。不论这样的传闻有多么八卦，橄榄油具有护肤驻颜的功效却是不争的事实。

橄榄油是油水自然分离的果油，没有经过任何化学处理，含有丰富的脂溢性维生素和油酸，极易被皮肤吸收。其中，维生素A能滋润干燥的皮肤，防止皮肤起皱；维生素D能促进人体代谢，保护及强化皮肤弹性，预防小皱纹发生；维生素E能促使血液循环畅通，抑制皮肤老化及弹性下降；维生素K能使皮肤有自然弹性，吸收皮下多余脂肪。

这种“可以吃的化妆品”可不能被我们的爱美女士们错过。以下精选几个橄榄油护肤小窍门，您在空暇时间不妨一试。

美容用处
1.护脸：在洗完脸后，用“橄榄油＋盐”反复轻轻按摩脸部，起磨砂、滋润作用。再用蒸脸器或热毛巾敷面，除去毛孔内肉眼看不到的污垢，增加皮肤的光泽和弹性。

2.护唇：天气突然转冷、感冒或肠胃不好时，人们常会出现嘴唇脱皮干裂，这时，只要涂上少量橄榄油，两三天后就可以让你的嘴唇重新变得光润。现在还有不少女士用橄榄油来取代唇彩，令嘴唇亮出天然光泽，当然，效果不及唇彩持续。

3.护肤：手关节、脚关节以及臀部等部位容易干燥和产生皱纹，经常使用橄榄油，能使皮肤恢复自然弹性。秋冬季节皮肤比较干燥，特别是腿部及臂部的位置，橄榄油具有滋润及保养作用，在普通干燥的时候可每星期擦三次，特别干燥的日子里可每日擦用。

4.护发：一般的头发护理很简单，只需在梳头前在梳子上滴上三四滴橄榄油即可，而且不会使头发油腻。另外，在洗头之后，像用护发素似的，轻擦干头发，均匀地给秀发抹上橄榄油，然后用热毛巾包裹头发10分钟，便可使头发变得光泽柔顺。

5.上妆和卸妆：这是一个极少提及的作用。女士们用干粉做粉底通常会遇到一个烦恼：粉要使劲搓才能粘到脸上。但是皮肤往往会由于大力的搓拭产生老化，久而久之皱纹就爬上脸了。橄榄油有助于上妆，只需在脸上涂上薄薄一层，即可以上妆，既可营养皮肤，又可防止妆粉脱落。一般人们都用BB油这类的产品卸妆，但对于敏感的肤质以及皮肤的敏感部位，往往会担心过敏，特别在卸眼妆时总要非常小心。而用纯天然的橄榄油来卸妆就不必担心了。用作卸妆时，用量比上妆更加少，只要用化妆棉沾取少量，然后轻轻擦走脸上的妆容，即可有效除去油彩与化学品。

6.沐浴：用橄榄油洗澡？太奢侈了！不过大美女索菲娅·罗兰就是这么保持肌肤的滋润和弹性的。不过我们用的时候可不要这么浪费，只要用棉花浸透橄榄油，均匀遍涂在全身，再用热毛巾包裹10分钟，用温水清洗即可。

7.瘦身：高纯度的橄榄油可以直接饮用，有助于促进身体的新陈代谢和排泄，坚持每天早上空腹喝一两勺橄榄油，有一定瘦身效果。

8.作粉底用油，在搽粉底霜之前，用橄榄油薄薄打底然后化妆，这样您漂亮的彩妆可以保持到晚上而不脱落。

9.作为卸妆油，傍晚经过一天的奔波劳碌，该让您的皮肤好好休息了，本品是您卸妆的好帮手。方法是，先用温水洗脸，然后均匀地涂上橄榄油，稍加按摩，再用脱脂棉擦净，便可彻底除去覆盖在脸上的化妆品，灰尘及藏在毛孔中的污垢，若与面膜使用，效果更佳。

橄榄油分不分食用？
在国外，食用橄榄油都是经过严格过滤加工提纯的，而美容用的橄榄油制造过程则相对粗糙。目前在我国市场上见到的橄榄油绝大多数是食用油，基本上没有专门用于美容的。但由于食用油的加工要比外用油严格得多，所以通俗地讲，市场上的食用橄榄油都可用于美容。

最后一次上课!

2006-12-20T18:43:00.000Z

哈哈哈哈哈...
今天的教课终于画上了一个圆满的句号! 四个月的日子, 自己终于挺过来啦~~~ 想想都觉得不容易!
今天的presentation虽说只要准备2, 3分钟的内容, 混混也就过去了, 可是, 俺本着站好最后一班岗的职业道德 (容许我吹吹...), 愣是想了个idea, 用中国的对联来吸引听众的眼球! 对联是: 如意吉祥, 金玉满堂, 横批: 圣诞快乐! 呵呵... 不要批判哟! 也算压韵, 而且, 不能太长, 学生就不容易读了. 何况时间也不容许呀! 更重要的, 花了3个小时完成实物部分, 因为书法太滥, 又没有宣纸, 只能用打印, 超大个儿, 再一个个剪下来, 再贴到红色的wrapping paper上. 累啊! 腰酸背疼啊! 等找个机会照张照片发上来, 留个纪念... 所以呢, 字太多, 俺也受不了啊!
当然啦, 付出就有回报, 反应还真不错呢! ^O^ 大家也应该看到我的努力吧, 为中国人争个脸吗!

言而总之, 顺利完成任务! 离开学校的时候, 看到校长, 我真想哭啊, 很让人怀念的地方! 好啦, 教书的日子让我成长了很多, 胆子大了, 站在百人面前讲话, 也不紧张了, 呵呵... 而且, 还总结了很多教书的经验, 看看那些中文书, 真还没俺总结的强, 都是给你个文章, 自己看去, 也不说为什么这样, 怎么来的! 教人是不能这样的, 要找到共同点, 吸引学生的兴趣, 而且用容易接受的方式教, 这样学生也就学得快了! 呵呵... 虽然不是学教育的背景, 不过, 看来俺还是很有潜力的吗! :-)

今天开始起大雾, 听预报, 后面几天都一样, 这么密集的雾天在英国还是不多见地!

ok, 看书去啦! 一堆好书等着俺呢!

话痨 (13:48)

2006-12-18T13:38:00.000Z

从韩国强的blog处看到这么一篇文章:

话痨
我害怕话痨。语言快过思维，思维快过行动。
他们是符录派遗落的旁支：以前是念念有词，现在则滔滔不绝。
碰上话痨，你只剩下礼貌。我更害怕沉默者。
出于礼貌，你不得不速成为一名话痨。
对所有的对话者，我都抱有敬意。
我尊重对话者的智慧，寥寥几句，已经足够。
彼此抱有敬意的对话者，应该拥有超高的效率。
珍惜语言，远离话痨。

超爱最后一句话...
腼腆的时候, 盼着能说会道; 等到了吐沫横飞的时候, 又感到哪里不对了~~~
看来问题就在这里, 说也是门艺术, 能言不代表善言, 说得快不代表思维也快!
所以要: 珍惜语言，远离话痨。
聪明人, 说得每句话都是掷地有声的, 也能更多得赢得他人的尊重.
看来,
我一定要改改自己的臭毛病, 说前动动脑, 千万别成了话痨!

惰性, 这东西真得很可怕!!!
又到周末, 人就会不自觉的懒散下来, 特别是在冬天的英国, 没什么娱乐, 不到4点天就黑了, 屋内又很暖和... 所以, 对很多学生来说, 猫在家里看看片, 听听歌, 就是唯一的消遣啦. 时间也就在不知不觉中从指尖滑过~~~

一直让自己很控制看片子, easy to be addicted, 可是看书, 学习, 真是很累... 昨天, 实在受不了, 看了部国产片, 呵呵... 感觉太舒服了, 超爽啊! (注明: 本人看片是很少很少地, 这多年来, 只看过屈指可数的几部经典的不能再经典的片啦!) 所以说, 惰性啊~~~ 看完一个, 还想再看, 不自觉的下了另一部连续剧. 还再下的时候, 逛了李阳的blog(平时是天天必看的哟!) 突然觉得自己很渺小, 这点寂寞就不能承受啦~~~

珍惜生命中的每一天, 这是大家都明白的道理.
可是真正做的又有几人?!
崇拜LI YANG老师 ^O^
所以, 我
DELETE了正在下载中的片子...
拿起了手边的"Exploring corporate strategy" ...

PS: 今天天气好, 做了酸菜鱼和XueLiHong炒肉丝. YAMI, YAMI...

22:33

2006-12-15T22:23:00.000Z

今天完成了上课的交接工作, 终于松了口气! 下周还有个很小的汇报, 就大功告成了! 忙了四个月的教课, 有收获, 有不舍, 不过, 做自己喜欢的, 走自己想走的路, 才是最重要的啦~~~

傍晚游泳去啦! 人超少, 好好好! 只是回来的时候下雨了, 不大, 很密, 一路走回来, 空气新鲜, 只是成了个落汤鸡...

顺便一贴炒肉丝的门道: (注明, 是转贴, 自己的小blog)

门道一：选料，肉可以是里脊肉也可以是肥瘦搭配的后臀肉，但切丝前，要把肉修成豆腐块，便于肉丝切出来后形状相同。炒出来的肉丝粗细长短相近才好看。如果有长有短，还有小肉粒，就不好看了，专业考试中，这样要扣分的。不过家里就不用这么讲究了。
门道二：豆腐块大的肉，去筋后切薄片再切丝。如果我们切丝技术一般，可以把肉稍冷冻一下就好切了。切肉前一定要把筋都去干净了，肉要顺着纤维的方向切丝，别横切面切开，不然切出来就成肉末了。切肉的时候尽量把片切的薄，然后再切成丝。
(话外音：其实，我们中式的菜刀虽然看上去不象西餐刀具那样大小差别很大，但也是有讲究的，中式菜刀主要分为砍刀、斩刀和（丝）片刀。片刀很薄很轻，适合切肉片肉丝。也许网友都没注意，现在超市出售的中式刀上都有字的，那字不只是商标，还有功用的标志，比如“阳江十八子斩刀”、 “张小泉片刀”。不信，您看看您家里的中式菜刀，有可能就有这些标志。我是中餐的忠实崇尚者，就连这中式菜刀的功用我也很佩服。一把普通的中式菜刀，刀刃可以“切 ”，刃尖可以“划”，刃根可以“剁”，刀侧面可以“拍”，刀背可以“捶”——老祖宗真聪明啊，不用象西餐那样备一大套刀具，厨师手握一把刀，就可以闯天下了。）
门道三：这一步比较关键。切成丝的肉要放在碗里用清水洗净肉丝中的血水，然后用手尽量挤干肉丝中的水份。门道四：用料酒、盐、味精、胡椒、苏打、蛋青腌渍肉丝。如果没有苏打，就加一点嫩肉粉，但嫩肉粉里有盐分，所以要注意咸淡。如果苏打和嫩肉粉都没有，就多放一点蛋清也可以。门道五：这一步也比较关键。一般我们给肉挂浆后就不管它了，直接去炒。其实，挂浆后的肉丝（肉片也一样）要使劲用手猛抓搅两分钟，再放置一旁醒一会，这样可以使嫩肉的调料进入肉内，使肉丝变得松软，炒出来会很嫩，不会成为火柴棒。门道六：肉丝腌渍几分钟后，再加入一些干淀粉和一点色拉油（使肉丝炒出来很亮）门道七：下锅炒。锅内放一些油，稍微热时（大约4成热，油过热可导致肉丝结块）把肉丝下锅，用筷子划开（油温超过 4成热时可将火暂时关掉，以保持油温较低）。肉丝都划开了，再加大火将肉丝翻炒大约半分钟就熟了。门道八：肉丝熟了后立即出锅！好了，肉丝炒好出锅了，锅内留一些油，您可以把其他配料（青椒丝或土豆丝）下锅炒，最后将炒好的肉丝倒入锅内，关火，加味精胡椒之类的您喜欢的（口味）调料，翻炒一下装盘。不知道说清楚了没有。有时觉得学烹饪就像学书法，只看文字还不行，还是看实际操作提高的比较快。交流的条件所限，也只好在这里跟网友们生侃了。

2. 國際羅勃‧海扶公司：員工離職，34% 因為成績未被認同或讚揚， 29%因低薪，13% 職權混淆，8% 人事衝突。
3. 行為研究：成功 20% 來自智商，80%來自其他因素，主要是情感智慧（EQ）。

贏家:看周圍的人是幫助者.看敵人是一種考驗.看上司是可敬的教練.看對手是靈感的來源.看異己份子是一種差異.看抱怨者是有特別需要的人.看父母是這一代的導師.看雇工是公司的家庭成員

內在自我形像與外在人際關係之間的對應關係
1.你真誠地自我肯定，你更有雅量肯定別人。
2.你真誠地愛自己，你更能真誠地愛別人。
3.你擁有自尊，你更能尊重別人的自尊。
4.你真誠地接納自己，你更能真誠地接納別人

好好学习, 天天向上!

2006-12-09T23:32:00.000Z

本来惦记着昨天要上来踩个脚印, 可是, 急着完成功课, 忙到下午5点, 终于告了一个段落, 呵呵... 喘口气吧... :-)

昨天开始, 天气就转好了, 见到了久违的阳光, 风也小了, 只是冷了!

忙着课题, 忙着读书... 坚决象毛主席学习, 他老人家就说过, 不要总是抱怨没有时间, 读书时间都是挤出来地, 多读本书, 就能多收获知识.

所以呢, 我现在要读书去了~~~

怎么就这么大的风呢!

2006-12-07T11:16:00.000Z

现在上午11点, 坐在办公室. 室内, 室外可谓是两重天哪! 屋外的风声真可用helie来形容啦~~~ 吹得是云儿飘飘, 声儿萧萧, 心儿慌慌...
天上的风娘娘一定是把风口袋开大了些, 抑或是让我好好读书?!
下午还要下大雨...
无语...

昨天下午上课, 竟然有当地的报纸来拍照片. 呵呵... 我这个小老师就这么误打误撞地上了国外的报纸了! 鼓励一把~~~ ^O^

风继续吹

2006-12-04T18:47:00.000Z

这些日子挺忙碌的, 每天都要7点爬起来, 晚上还经常在办公室泡着...
这样的生活挺郁闷的, 也不是我想要的. 对我而言, 白天努力工作, 晚上就要充分享受生活, 比如锻炼, 比如看书... 可是, 个人热情抵不上呼啸的风啊! :-( 英国的冬天很郁闷, 难得看到好天气, 这不, 昨天开始, 刮着风, 下着雨, 就这么杀将过来了! 据报, 此天气还将持续一周~~~ 晕~~~
那就只能继续刻苦在办公室享受这份安静吧.

继续, 痛 --- 并快乐着!

别了, 咪咪 -- 我挚爱的小伙伴!

2006-12-03T12:27:00.000Z

咪咪走了, 中午从妈妈的电话里知道了. 听说, 走得很安详, 坚持躺在家门口的地方, 睁着眼睛...
我哭了, 很伤心, 很伤心...
它陪伴了我12年的成长, 在我读大学的时候, 只要是放假, 我就坚持跟mimi住在一起, 它陪着我灯下读书; 早上6点钟站在我的被子上把我叫起来, 嘿嘿... 我通常转个方向接着睡; 每天打开门, 最先听到的就是咪咪的叫声, 响亮, 热情; 还经常给我按摩, 呵呵... 它的按摩很可爱的说, 站在我的胳膊上, 两只小脚轮换着踩, 还发出用力的声音, 对了, 重要的是它是拿它的屁股对着我的脸. 哈哈... 想想就喜欢它!
出国后, 我不得不离开它, 可是每次回国, 我都坚持每天去喂它, 而且经常是夏天, 这也是我老是坚持夏天回国的原因, 考虑到天气太热, 我回国, 起码能尽力照顾它. 其实, 我真得是尽心尽力了, 每天来回跑, 天再热, 也是一样, 而且, 出去玩, 也要按时回来, 因为我还有个猫咪. 我承认我很累, 可是这是我的责任, 我甜蜜的负担, 心甘情愿!

现在它走了, 没等我回去, 没让我再抱抱它, 不知道它当时有没有记起我这个小主人, 咪咪, 我会永远记住你, 聪明, 可爱, 有个性的小家伙!

说好不哭, 为什么泪还是止不住的往下流...

Book: Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Drucker: 读后感:
1. 生产出来的产品不是为了让客户适应它, 而是要根据客户的需要生产产品.
2. 很多产品的出现, 实际上很多都违背了当初人们所设想的为之服务的领域. 往往在其他领域红了起来.
3. 做出好的产品, 并不都是依赖high-tech, 有时侯, 做些小小的改动就能迎合大众. 比如说, 早前的白内障手术, 都没有很好的麻醉药, 当时一种酶已经发明, 只是无法很好的保存它, 有个医生, 只是想到了个方法保存它, 就是很小的一个改变, 让他拥有的巨大的收益.
4. 销售产品要讲求策略. 比如说, 吉列刮胡刀, 当时只是个小牌子, 可是它想到了个销售策略, 首先用很低的价格销售刀片和刀柄, 可是呢, 刀片要换呢, 只能换吉列的刀片. 刀片的售价是5p(cost: 1p), 因此, 很快就赢得了很大的市场. GE的窝沦机也采用了相似的策略.
5. Creative imitation 适当的模仿, 然后加稍稍改变以符合大众的需求.

From Madrid

2006-11-30T14:54:00.000Z

Four days Madrid travelling give me very sweet memory. Although we are a bit of tired and weather is not good enough, it's trully broaden my horizon to exhibit another different culture to me. Pretty like the Palace, the Ratio Park, etc. And it seems like each corner has a special sculpture in Madrid. Moreover, the timetable of Spanish people are exactly fit with my type, there have lots of night activities, even most restaurants just open from 8 at night. Noise but full of enthuiasm!

ps: purchase lots of clothes which are more expensive in UK. HAPPY~~~

I bet I would go there again in the very near future...

珍惜每一天

印度诗人卡利达撒在一首诗中写道:　
　
向黎明问好！　　
看看这一天！　　
这就是生活，完完全全的生活。　　
在生活的课程里，　　
让你的存在充满着真切的，　　
成功的喜悦，　　
生命的荣耀，　　
和美丽的色彩。　　
因为昨天终究是场梦，　　
而明天只不过是个想象，　　
但是华丽的今天让每个昨天都是一场快乐的美梦，　　
而每个明天都是希望的想象。所以，向黎明问好吧！
因为每个黎明都将带来美妙的一天。
