如果你无意浏览我的SPACE，或者总是会来这里做客，那，我想谢谢你的支持，因为我从来没有这样说过！

 

我不知道这里的统计是否正确，发现这里的点击率（HITS）超过了我自己公司网站www.englishtoexpress.com的HITS，to be hoenst , i was kinda blown away :) , which is why i think i really need to take a moment to say "THANK YOU GUYS " , and it would be awesome if you could stop by AND give me something , anything like just a "HI back " would be good :)

 

本来我是很想每天都写点东西，一是自己练练笔，二是其实我从小到大都不是喜欢写的人，但是不知道从什么时候开始觉得写实在是个好东西，你可以把自己所有的想法，情感，不好的，好的，都可以拿出放在纸上，有时候写着写着自己不明白的东西就想明白了，呵呵，its amazing putting all of your feelings on the paper ， 三呢，就是想到老了可以看看。

 

无论你是走过，路过，还是特意来看，我都想谢谢你的支持，也欢迎你给我留言。

one of the things i enjoy most is to spend quality time sitting in a cafe, sipping cup of coffee and watching GIRLS instead of life go by ... but i really cant say im a cafe type , sometimes , i read stuff while sitting there , not sitting there still and idly ... other times i spend time chatting with friends . mostly about my business.

 

i might not be correct in saying that launching a new business is very challening , but its time consuming and can be overwhelming with all the red tape you have to go through. i really hope the government could be less beauracratic and more productive one day.

 

now im almost done with getting my new business off the ground , which im really excited about , but it seems to me that i dont have a second to stay excited , there are too many things on my plate and i wish i could have the luxury of hiring someone to run errands or something .

 

on top of that , i have to think about how to grow my business and make it as profitable as possible . i need to understand that the bottom line of any business is to make money . im glad that half of my passion and the business im doing is kinda in sync . which makes all the work less tiring and kinda fun . 

 

its a top priority to think about how to add to the bottom line at the moment . everyone seems to be selling stuff , some sell products , the other sell services , and there are some selling themselves , like me ... im myself brand , im selling myself and my service as a brand . i wish i was way much better than im at selling.  i wish i was an MBA or something , i guess i would have a better understanding of builiding a brand , fortunately , i got hands-on experience under my belt that makes me kinda a street smart . and my experience has taught me that the most inexpensive advertising strategy is WORD OF MOUTH , in short , its REPUTATION. so building a brand is as simple as building a reputation .  my previous mistake taught me that building a reputation is nothing more than just keeping your word, sometimes , it just means remembering what my words were. but i know this simple stratgey doesnt seem easy to many people , i WAS one of them.

 

i have said a lot that becoming more of a businessperson is my primary goal for 2007 , which sounds kinda big , thats why i have decided to break it down into several tasks , keeping my word is on the top of my list. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

哈佛校训

从很大程度上讲，人是机遇的产物。我们在评价一个人的能力以及他的成就时，我们不能完全忽略机遇的重要性。有些时刻比几年都要重要，在时间的重要性和价值之间没有均衡。一个出乎意料的5分钟就可能决定了一个人的命运。
但是，人不是靠偶尔撞在木桩上的兔子获得成功的。事实上，通常我们所说的命运的转折点，只是我们之前努力所取得的成绩所集成出的机会。美国哈佛大学的著名校训就精辟地诠释了勤奋、机遇和成功三者之间的关系：时刻准备着，当机会来临时你就成功了。

麦克阿瑟将军说过：“召集军队上战场的军号声对于军人来说，就是一种机会。但是，这嘹亮的军号声，绝不会使军人勇敢起来，也不会帮助他们赢得战争，机会还得靠他们自己来把握。”促使一个人抓住了成就他一生的那个机遇并走向成功的，正是他的个性、他的个人能力。

偶然的机会只对那些勤奋工作的人才有意义。

流传甚广的奥尔·布尔的一件轶事能够更好地说明这个道理。这位杰出的小提琴家，多年以来一直坚持不懈地练习拉琴。通过不断的练习，他的技艺早已成熟到后来他出名时的那个程度了，但是他始终还是默默无闻，不为大众所知。

不过，他的运气迟早会到来。

一次，当这个来自挪威的年轻乐手正在演奏的时候，著名女歌手玛丽·布朗恰巧从窗外经过。奥尔·布尔的演奏使她如醉如痴，她从来没有想到小提琴能够演奏出如此优美动人的音乐，她赶紧询问了这个不知名乐手的姓名。随后不久，在一次影响力极大的演出中，由于她突然与剧场经理发生了分歧，不得不临时取消了自己的节目。在安排什么人到前台去救场时，她想到了奥尔·布尔。面对聚集起来的大批观众，奥尔·布尔演奏了一个多小时，就是这一个多小时，使奥尔·布尔登上了世界音乐殿堂的巅峰。对于奥尔·布尔而言，那一个小时便是机遇，只不过，他早已为此做好了准备。

成功的秘密在于，当机遇来临的时候，你已经做好了把握住它的准备。对于那些懒惰者来说，再好的机遇，也是一文不值；对于那些没有做好准备的人来说，再大的机遇，也只会彰显他的无能和丑陋，使他变得荒唐可笑。

人们总是喜欢办事认真、不出差错的雇员。没有人希望总是像对待游手好闲的人或傻瓜那样，时时刻刻防备自己的雇员。就好像如果一个木匠必须亲眼看着徒弟的工作，才能肯定他没有做错的话；或是一个银行司库员必须亲自核查他的簿记员的账本，方能肯定准确无误的话，那么与其让别人来做，还不如自己亲自来做！所以，公司会马上炒这些不称职的雇员的鱿鱼，更不用说要给他们机会了。当一个人“撞上”了一个好职位的时候，并不仅仅是因为他利用了什么有利的条件，而是因为他已经为得到那份工作做了多年的准备。

每一天，都要尽心尽力地工作，每一件小事情，都要力争高效地完成。尝试着超越自己，努力做一些份外的事情，不是为了看到老板的笑脸，而是为了自身的不断进步。即或是在同一个公司或同一个职位上，机遇没有光临，但在你为机会的来临而时时准备的行动中，你的能力已经得到了扩展和加强，实际上，你已经为未来某一个时间创造出了另一个机遇。

谨记哈佛校训：时刻准备着，当机会来临时你就成功了

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i cant remember when was the last time i got a msg from people wishing me happy children's day , i just did , and it made me smile ... 

 

there are many times when i cant help thinking how wonderful it would be to live in a la la land of kid world , where there is NO adult worries and concerns , i guess all of us want to live a hassle-free life without any stress from one point or another , especially when things are not going the way we want . yes , many times , i wish i could go back in time and be a child again ! dont u feel the same way ? i bet u do

 

the adult world sucks , but you have to face it like a man . and you have to face all the fears head on , its kinda funny the older we get , the more fears we seem to have , the fear of getting older:) , the fear of the unknown , the fear of action and rejection of others , the fear of being unable to get what we want , how many fears do we have to FACE to live a life that we want , there are A LOT , if u attempt to avoid them , there is an excellent chance you will keep wishing and hoping for a good life . which means a good quality life involves tons of fears , technically , it involves facing fear resolutely !  haha , take the bull by the horns ! otherwise you will FALL !

 

these past few months have been kinda hectic and stressful , on one hand , i really need to do as much work as possible that can bring in income on a consistent basis , on the other hand , i wish i could free myself up , like 100% to be totally focusd on what really matters to me and my company ,  this is life , like a juggling ball , if you wanna improve the quality of life , you need to sharpen ur skills of juggling , you need to become more of a multitasker who can keep lots of balls in the air AT THE SAME TIME effectively :) when i was living with my american roomie , thats when i was exposed to juggling , iv been practicing it off and on and gotta say he is a master , he can juggle like 6 balls for like as long as he wants without dropping , which is really amazing and impressive , i wish i could do that in my real life , by the time im able to do that , im sure my life will be a whole lot better than it is . i guess its just a matter of time before there is a TV show that pits multitaskers against one another to see how many balls they can handle without dropping .

 

yes , there are many things we need to handle , fear is one thing , rejection , i hate it when that happens , but shit never stops happening!  oh , in a children's world , it may not , cos they got parents watching their back ! but we are no longer a child , we are actually old enough to watch someone else's back , so who's got my back ?! 

 

friends ?

 

if there was only one thing that you could choose , what would it be , i mean the one that u think matters most to you when we come to the end of our lives ?  dont overanalyze it , if the answer is based on the first thing that comes to your mind, what will it be ? in my case , i guess relationship might be the one , friendship is one of those things that matters most to me , i know it.

 

there is a jungle out there , its killing or be killed , there were many times when i felt really frustrated and depressed , it was friends who trusted me even when i didnt trust myself , who consoled me when i failed to get what i wanted , who cheered me up when i was like a fucking downer , speaking of which , how many friends have been in touch with ever since our childhood ?  i figured it might be a good time , i mean today might be a perfect time to get on the phone with some of these childhood friends that we havent contacted for a long time or lost track of , figure out a way to track them down and call them to wish them have a happy children day.

 

looking back over my short life , im kinda reminded of the importance of friendship again and starting to feel more strongly that staying in touch with friends by making a phone call or sending a text msg from time to time is just a small price to pay for the one thing that will matter most to us at the end of our lives .

 

oops , its kinda late to call my friends to wish them happy children's now day  , wat the hell , send them a msg , and let them know your friendship with him/her matters to you , it sends him/her an instant messege you care about him/her , im sure it will put a huge smile on his/her face .

 

this is what a small act of care can accomplish , will u do that ?  hey , just do it ...
