Thanks friends of this forum
hahaha, it’s lucky to log my account again. It was my hard time when I found this forum many years ago. Now, I have two lovely sons. hahaha, Thanks to my kind and beautiful wife. I still work hard to make a better day for my family. oh, my father still works in his 70s. Maybe it’s one of our home styles – saving most of the income for heirs.Hahaha, it makes me smile when I found my posts still here. Thanks friends of this forum. Of course, some of the opinions was wrong. I know now. oh, I say less and work more in life.
where would we really go, who we really care about, what should we really do?
How lovely the character, Forrest Gump, when I watched the film. It's Gump's "persistance" which deeply touched me, which helpped carrying him through the hardest times. Gump's Persistance was more than normal. It reached a state of pure simple and pure perfect. Maybe he got his lucky from his low intelligence. Sometimes, we think we are smart. We often think about our future which we believed that we could design and create. However, "Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know which kind you could get from it." Don't think too much. Just do it if you have decided. Persistance, the type of simple persistance without much thinking. Persistance turned everything simple. This simple persistance is lack in our society. Every guy is hurrying on his way. Every guy wanna get on the fastest train. I would run forward because every guy are running. I need to run faster. Why are we running forward? Where would be the end? The meaning of life is just getting on the fastest train? Do we have time to think about where would we really go, who we really care about, what should we do? Gump know what he would do. Gump just try his best and wouldn't give up before all hardships. We grew up with learning that there are gaps between dreams and realities. The gaps often turned into an excuse for giving up our presistance. We would tell ourselves we are rational creatures. We have done our best but we couldn't accomplish. Could we have Gump's persistance to do what we wanna do? Jenny was a kind girl. Her kind turned her into Gump's angel. The suffering in her childhood was shadowing her future. She drifted and tried to find her life. She wanna be a singer but failed. She went forward too far and don't know how to go back. She was a lost lamb in a group of wolves. She don't know where would go but only have the fear and helpless deep in the heart. ++++++++++++++++++ 在电脑上看了《致我们终将失去的青春》,刚好看到一位朋友10多年前在学校写的阿甘影评,粘贴了影评的一部分。
Saving money or saving time?
One day in 1998, I've ever walked across several unfamiliar blocks in Beijing for about 8 hours. Why? Only for saving RMB 10 from taking a taxi. Nowadays, sometimes, I still did so. However, let us do a calculation. Supposed one can earn RMB 10,000 a month. A month has about 4 weeks. Each week has 40 working hours. Then 10,000/160 = RMB 62.5 per hour = RMB 1 per minute. If you earn RMB 15,000 a month, then it is RMB 1.5 per minute.
One bottle of beer made me drunk
hehe, this noon we ate roasted mutton, "TieBan" stir fried mutton, fried fish, stir fried wild chicken, stir fried ribs, roast duck, fried rabbit, sauted lily, and so on. Of course, I ate a lot. However, After a bottle of beer, as usual, my heart beat fast and I felt asleep. We often said that the amount of alcohol represents one's future level of career ladder, if one worked in government or in SOE. haha.. So, It's my disadvantage that I can drink too little alcohol.
My plans about reading English books
In 2011, I planned to read through "the elment of style", "economist style", and several other style tool book. Yes, I read a lot. Reading through a book about sculpture was also in my plan. However, I stopped after read the first about 100 pages. I also planned to read through Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" trilogy. Yes, I finished it, and I also read several Isaac Asimov's short stories. Oh, nearly forgot that I listened over at least half of the audio books "Foundation" (BBC version) too. From time to time, I always could find tons of excuses to walk away from my plan - or playing computer games, or tired after work, or reading short news reports, etc. hahahaa. Maybe I'm a lazybone. Which English books would I read in 2012? hehe, I have not decided yet.
How do you know him/her in a dialogue?
How do you know (the personality and character of) a girl (Lady)/guy (gentleman) quickly in English corner, or ...? To ask her: 1. What 3 words does your mom often use to describe you, like lazy, or fire temper, or kind, or thoughtful, or ...? 2. What 3 words do your best friend(s) often use to describe you, like ...? 3. What colors are your shirts in, your shoes, ...? 4. Which restaurants do you often go to? and so on. ++++++++++++++++ The same logic: 1. Would you like to describe Beijing with 3 adjective words? (Supposed you were in Beijing.) You can get the main features of Beijing from the perspective of individuals if you get a few of answers from people of certain groups.
Social Relationships
Ability: At first, Mao Zedong was a teacher in a rural teacher's school who had never been studied abroad. Zhou Enlai was a university leader who had ever studied in France. Zhu De was a general who had ever studied in Japan. Liu Shaoqi was a national labor union leader who had ever studied in Russia. However, later, Mao Zedong was the leader. And Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi were the followers. When we talk about one's ability, we often said that who, who, who typing fast, mastering the laws and specifications, mastering the literature and large vocabulary, maybe etc. Skills: Do we often talk about Knowing more powerful people and make friends with them Uniting people of a team together and making those people work toward one objective Knowing others' advantages and favors, and distribute works based on that Increasing the trust among people of that team Tolerating the disadvantages of the others Most of works can't be done by oneself, but many of us together. Human beings are warm-blooded animal, not robots. The relationships among human beings in a society are complicated, not as simple as the contracts and agreements among computers in a network. So, we need to not only improve our skills in technical area, but also improve our skills in social relationships.
words hurt us but true
words hurt us but true Maybe We did a few of achievements in career, but we failed in the perspective of family of our life. Career is important, and family is not important? Actually, we are not the president, we are not the leading guy in one area. We are only little guys. Most time for most of us, family is more important than career. So, Sure to pay 60% energy to find a right guy/lady who would accompany you following the rest of 2/3 life, and use the lest 40% energy in career ladder and other area. ++++++++++++ I wrote these words to a friend here through private message last night.
