不上大學的成本越來越高
華爾街日報》-- 上大學成本很高，但不上大學的成本更高。
皮尤研究中心(Pew Research Center)發布的一份新報告顯示，在「千禧一代」美國人中，有大學學位的人比那些在讀高中期間或高中後停止接受正式教育的人賺錢更多，就業率和工作滿足感也更高。
美國大學學費為何如此之高？
十年後的大學是什麼樣子？
有價值的文憑：讓大學上得物有所值
大學學費，怎樣花才最值得？
「投資」上大學 「回報」有多高？
按照2012年美元不變價格衡量，從1965年到2013年，接受了大學教育的、年齡25-32歲的全職工作者年收入中位數增加了近7,000美元，至45,500美元。同階段，學歷只有高中畢業的工作者年收入中位數下降了逾3,000美元，至28,000美元。
上述發現是基於皮尤研究中心對2,002名成年人的調查和對美國人口普查局(U.S. Census Bureau)數據的分析來得出的。
對于自己是否走上了一條明確的職業道路，手握大學學位的青年人也抱有更多自信。其中有86%的人說自己的工作是一項事業，或者至少是通往事業的一個台階。只有57%的高中畢業生有同樣感覺。
盡管上大學的投入成本較高，並且仍在升高，但皮尤研究中心的報告發現，「千禧一代」美國人普遍感覺自己的大學教育已經得到了回報。在貸款上大學的人中，有86%認為大學學位已經讓他們收回了成本，或者很快就會讓他們收回成本。
多年來，大學畢業生和高中畢業生的收入差距一直都是人們談論的話題，但皮尤研究中心的報告印證了一個事實，即這種收入差距在「千禧一代」美國人中特別大。1979年，嬰兒潮那代人中的高中畢業生收入還能達到大學畢業生的四分之三，但在當今，高中畢業生的收入只有大學畢業生的62%。

Greater profitability via CEO communication that engages employees: Obama points the way
Thanks Yukthi for the sharing !
An engaged workforce has major bottom-line impact: according to Gallup’s 2013 “State of the American Workplace” survey, businesses with an engaged workforce made 150% higher Earnings Per Share (EPS) than their competition in 2011/12. How do you make your employees more engaged in your business? Victor Lipman of Forbes magazine says more and clearer top management communication to all organisational levels is the way.
“The art of communication is the language of leadership,” wrote James Humes. US President Barack Obama is living proof: his speaking might is the single skill that catapulted him from an unknown US Senator in 2004 to the US presidency a mere 4 years later. In his address at the Democratic National Convention in 2004, Obama eloquently articulated the bedrock of American values and related them to his own life. That speech led him straight to the White House.

10個令人抓狂的Email用法
返工第一時間，誠惶誠恐打開電郵信箱，逐封逐封巨細無遺地細閱（目的︰慎防中伏「瀨嘢」）、小心翼翼地回應（慎防中伏「瀨嘢」）、存檔（慎防中伏「瀨嘢」）；之後巨細無遺地翻閱下一封（慎防中伏「瀨嘢」）、小心翼翼地回應（慎防中伏「瀨嘢」）、存檔（慎防中伏「瀨嘢」）……分不清楚到底做實事緊要，還是慎防中伏「瀨嘢」緊要。而偏偏，在慎防中伏「瀨嘢」的過程中，就「瀨晒嘢」了！

電視上聽來的笑話:
中國元宵兼西方情人節,
茶餐廳來了一位客人,
侍者問他食什麼,
他說" Show me your love".
侍者不知其解,
最後原來他是要栗米玉粒飯!
Happy Valentine 's Day!

二月 - 那絲饑寒交迫的感覺
星期一的晚上,
又開始一個新的短期課程!
不小心看錯時間表,
以為是二小時,
原來是三小時的課.
下班後已很趕的走去上課的地點,
至下課的回家路程,
總共當天走了一小時的路.
強烈的寒風加上饑餓,
在那燈光閃爍的賭場酒店區下,
與強國人們擦身而過,
有一種難形容的感受.
最後,
溫暖的晚餐在十時才開始,
才開始尋回那滿足的感覺.

Saying Good Bye over the air!
Saying good bye is another chance for reunion in future?
Though a lot of uncertainties ahead,
we don't know when and where,
but do hope that
it will come very soon.
A lot of questions in my head,
Why do people come from different backgrounds meet accidentally?
Why do people spend a certain of time together with similar background on certain time of life?
Why do people need to separate again?

Sorry that I didn't participate the farewell dinner,
as I am very busy during this season for all the miscellaneous work and
also I feel very hard to say good bye to you!
Hope you all the best!

Another exciting night
We made another high school gathering again,
originally not many responses received from the apps group,
but it turned out we have 14 people,
most of them didn't show up in the last gathering,
a lot of close talking again during the meeting,
and time was so short before the restaurant closed.
We have so many stories to share!

Maria
When I was appreciating the flowers in Lou Lim Yeok Garden,
heard a familiar voice,
immediately recognized she was Maria,
We used to work together in the same organization,
she was my senior,
a christian,
a christian,
a very nice and sincere lady,
but I became her boss when I was promoted to be the department head.
As our department was small,
we were very close and we knew each other well.
Her hobbies were photo shooting and traveling,
she was the eldest at home,
and she took care of the family very well.
I still remember,
she told me the most regret thing in her life-
her father passed away when she went to China for a three-day trip,
I was supposed to join,
but I didn't,
her family contacted us how to locate her,
but we were unable to.
so, she missed the chance to say good-bye to her father.
She left the organization as a result of work pressure,
I left the organization as a result of making my dream came true,
she started to work in the education field!

For the past few years,
we met only once or twice on the street,

and I didn't see her for so long since then.
We were excited to meet each other again,
inside the garden,
we immediately have a big hug,
exchanged the update,

she smiled and told me,
after 5 years of taking medicine,
she won the battle of breast cancer,
she still now enjoy taking photos a lot,
as her hobby.

She also told me that during her sickness and treatment,
she couldn't eat and looked tired all the time,

she is really a hero to me,

my dearest friend,
Maria!

節日的吃
數天之間,
消化系統非常忙,
但難得是與友人相聚,
由年三十食到現在,
多次在街外吃,
加上自家的年飯,
heavy heavy...
外面的食店,
很多加20-30%,
真的有點過分,
昨天看見巴士司機,
沿途不怕煩的指導遊客們上下車,
服務精神可嘉.
~~~~~~
年初一早飯在拱北,
吃的是五柳年年有餘,
水餃及薄餅,
沒有加一.
水準可以,
下午在銀河starsbuck,
與n年前的舊同事茶聚,
N+S, E, S+J, 加上我的舊同學,
一樂,
還相約以後可以多往港行山及旅遊,
精彩!
~~~~~~~
年初二下午與剛下班的M下午茶,
在咖哩屋,
欣賞那公司三文治,
色香味不錯,
blueberries yogurt有點disappointed,
服務欠,但加二.
~~~~~~
年初三早加午在英皇,
食物美味,
不用排很長的隊等位,
暗自我感覺良好,
以為是最優選擇,
奈何
服務欠,且加三.
中午外賣路環安德魯,
大排長龍,
但美食依然,
沒有加價.
下午茶於銀河大倉酒店,
約260元的下午茶套餐,
沒有驚喜,
只是沒有下次,
食物像不很新鮮,
看見鄰桌結單時,
全架的食物幾乎是原封不動,
強國人的咀真勁,
不過,
好像十分浪費!

馬年年初一珠海竹仙洞公园觀桃花
早上十時半,
澳門的交通暢通無阻,
往珠海賞桃花去.
上了的士,
不過10分鐘,
已到公園.
是日天朗氣清,
陽光普照且溫暖.
但原來內地的人,
很多都往公園去,
因此公園門前人山人海,
公園內要人潮管制,
等了30分鐘才取得入場劵.
最後在公園內雖人多,
但一片桃花園的景色,
加上藍天,
美極,
可惜,
美好的大自然,
沿途常見垃圾蟲,
最不滿的是,
孩子問媽媽,
垃圾往那裡掉,
媽媽說,
掉在地上可以,
真的影響大自然的景色!

桃花源記
陶淵明
晉太元中，武陵人，捕魚為業，緣溪行，忘路之遠近；忽逢桃花林，夾岸數百步，中無雜樹，芳草鮮美，落英繽紛；漁人甚異之。復前行，欲窮其林。林盡水源，便得一山。山有小口，彷彿若有光，便舍船，從口入。
初極狹，纔通人；復行數十步，豁然開朗。土地平曠，屋舍儼然。有良田、美池、桑、竹之屬，阡陌交通，雞犬相聞。其中往來種作，男女衣著，悉如外人；黃髮垂髫，並佁然自樂。見漁人，乃大驚，問所從來；具答之。便要還家，設酒、殺雞、作食。村中聞有此人，咸來問訊。自云：「先世避秦時亂，率妻子邑人來此絕境，不復出焉；遂與外人間隔。」問「今是何世？」乃不知有漢，無論魏、晉！此人一一為具言所聞，皆歎惋。餘人各復延至其家，皆出酒食。停數日，辭去。此中人語云：「不足為外人道也。」
既出，得其船，便扶向路，處處誌之。及郡下，詣太守，說如此。太守即遣人隨其往，尋向所誌，遂迷不復得路。南陽劉子驥，高尚士也，聞之，欣然規往，未果，尋病終。後遂無問津者。(http://www.dajiyuan.com)
