Nowadays, in order to add value to the CV, people tend to pursue university degree or diploma, such as the title of MBA or doctor degree, by doing so, this is a way to show off that they are qualified to do something.
But to me, I think the process of learning is more important than the end result, I think the process of studying - thinking, analysing, discussing, debating, organising, presentation are more important than the degree itself.
People said that they have different kinds of degree, but what did they learn from the study. By speeding the process to earn the degree, they missed the important elements, and also the challenging moment to train themselves.
I remember L told me that the present students' are in the opinions that they are almost qualified in the exams, but I agree with him that we should not lower the qualified standard, otherwise, our society will be full of unqualified people, may be more unqualified doctors or engineers.

Weakness Link
For a team to be successful, the most important thing is not the number of intelligent persons in the group.
It is the average strengths and capabilities of the people inside the group, that is, to minimise the weakness of each person, to raise the performance of the weakness link, so that to improve the overall performance of the group.
It is like a water bucket, no matter what is the average height of the bucket, nor there are several pieces of wood be very high, if there is one piece of wood be very short, the water will go out anyway!!

Two Clocks
I like to read stories, especially in management and economics.
I remember I read one story about clocks. It mentioned that in management, we should not using two clocks at the same time, otherwise it will be very difficult to get standards, to give instructions and get the expected results.
A told me recently, she got two bosses, and she could not satisfy two bosses at the same time, for boss X told her to do something, and boss Y complained that she didn't finish the work he gave her.
We should not get in this situation for our daily work, otherwise, it is not effecient at all!!

From I20 to F1 Visa - Studing in US
My way to study in US was not easy, because it took me a long time to get the student visa.
Actually, my application to Berea was first turned down, I mailed my application on my birthday - August 9, simultaneously, I registered for the TOEFL exam. But I got the reply from school in September, they said that after evaluating my application, they concluded that I could have a better opportunity to apply for the other universities.
I was disappointed for I only applied this school. Looking back to this, I am proud that I didn't give up at that time.
I was extremely unhappy for the message destroyed my dream plan, therefore, I wrote a long letter to the International Student Officer, and explained my situation. After three weeks, he sent me a letter informing me that he would keep my application and let the selective committee decide my case. I was temporarily happy for a while, and continued my preparation for the TOEFL exam.
I took the exam before end of the year, luckily to catch the time to submit to the school for evaluation. My grade was not very high nor very low, but barely passed the normal requirement.
It was in the early February, I got an exciting letter that I got accepted,and I got an I20, which I needed to supply to the US consulate to get the student VISA.
I went to HK in early April, without much knowledge, I was rejected, for I was a single independent female- also non-traditional student ( going back to study after several years of working) and people said that without sufficient proof, it was really difficult.
Again, I was very down again, but I told myself, I should not give up, as I could see the light almost at the end of tunnel.
After some additional preparation, I went to HK second time to try again - they turned me down, but they didn't say that I could not apply again.
I was lucky this time, for the officer knew something about Berea, and with several Q & As and an evaluation of my submitted information, he told me I could get back my passport with the student visa on next day.
I was so excited, unbelievable, I got my VISA!!
Today, I really can conclude that - in life, we have a lot of difficulties ahead, but we should not change our mind, our desire is very important.
NEVER GIVE UP!!!!

李纯恩 -《生命中的红烧肉》
By reading the book, sharing the stories of the author, including the sweet and bad memories and experience, I found this leisure book quite interesting.
http://www.douban.com/subject/1453349/
简介 · · · · · ·
一碗浓油赤酱香喷喷的红烧肉，在年轻人眼中，觉得太油腻、不健康，但在老一代人眼中，却是美味佳肴，是美好回忆的象征，是美满生活的一个实在印象。因为在那个青菜都要省吃的年代，能吃到红烧肉，已是过节的享受了，所以说，红烧肉是一代人的情意结。
作者通过对红烧肉的回味，畅述了自己生活中的一些美好回忆，也有对现实生活的反省和追求。其中有褒有贬，代表了作者那一代人的心声。
作者简介 · · · · · ·
李纯恩
他是上海人，来香港23年，成了香港人，写了一本书，在香港畅销书书架上，摆在了最top的位置。人们说他忘了本，一个上海人替香港人说话，他的混血身份，精道地点出北京、上海、台北和香港四个地方的优劣局面，当头棒喝，一针见血，且都和吃有关。
这人最早在窦文涛“锵锵三人行”里嬉笑怒骂过，有人说他骂人不带脏字，损人不吐骨头。他还是一派儒雅气质，穿着唐装，说到兴头，额前一缕被人传作蓄意漂染的白发垂下来，省略了愤青似的甩头过程，用手指轻轻一抹，便服帖妥当了。

陶傑 - 峄青夕陽紅
My favorite writer, I enjoyed the most in the first chapter, he presented the background stories and made interviews with the famous people. I can learn the stories of these famous people, I wish this section can be longer, but is the shortest chapter in the book, only six persons were interviewed.
For chapter two, it is about culture, it is also very good to have different perspectives of different culture, but for the Politics in Chapter three, I am kind of so so, for I am not a person interested in this kind of topics.

有一個苦悶的年輕人，向大師求教尋找快樂的真諦。年輕人在出發的時候帶了一個大包袱，裡面塞滿了許多東西，那都是關於他的喜悅、淚水、失落。可是，大師卻竟然什麼也沒說，只領著年輕人乘船渡河，並對著年輕人說：“把船扛上吧！”
扛船就能換取快樂？究竟大師這樣做，是怎樣的一回事？到底，我們心靈的香格里拉，又在何處？
一個農場主人，一心只求發財致富。後來，他從一位珠寶商的口中知道，世界上最值錢的東西就是鑽石。不過，這珍貴的寶物可能藏在離我們很遠的地方，也可能就在我們的身邊。
“激勵大師”安東尼．羅賓曾經說過：“任何好高騖遠的追求，都遠不如挖掘身上的寶藏。只要懂得開發自己的潛能，你就能實現自己的美麗夢想。”
《退後一步是天堂》的作者無憂，透過 80 個雋永的故事，譜出我們的哭與笑，品味人生的每個美好時刻。今次無憂夥拍港日漫畫家李志清，繪畫最精彩的人生。
I finished the reading of this book, fatastic stories, I enjoyed a lot!!
Some inspiration quotes translated form the book:
We are our own chamionship!!
Be patient, and stay until the last minute!!
The treasury is around us!!
Intelligent is not equal to success; success is not equal to intelligent !?
No matter where and when, we should keep a humble mind.
Whenever we fall down, stand up!!
The distance between success and failure is not very far away, therefore we should make a great effort and try our best till the last minute, then we will be the hero of our own stage in the life.
Comparing with the other people, we should be grateful for we are not lonely and there are plenty of people worse than us. Sometimes, we only see the best of the others, but they may have their own insight stories.
Don't get dizzy with success.
Knowledge is power.
Turn confidence to be my proud.
A hedge between keeps friendship green.
Trust is very precious between friends.
Appreciate the reminders !! (otherwise no next time)
Happiness does not come from the process of life, it comes form the attitude of your life. - (from a Canada writer) - Life made up from a lot thinking (reflection), and human beings need to have a positive life. If a person loses the desire of dreaming future, and lives himself in a miserable way, his life will turn in ashes.
Don't overlook the tiny accumulation of wealth. By ignoring little construction, we cannot have great accomplishment.
The great achievement comes from the hardworking, days by days, with the accumulation, we create the miracles.
To finish one task, there are usually more than one way. We should not be lazy and get the easiest one, and upset other people. We should always apply the win-win principle, and think more for the other people-to offer benefit and convenience for both parties.
To seek for our own direction in order to welcome the opportunities.
Grasp the chance - we should dare to try, to knock the door of opportunity, eventually, the door will open for us.
We should be our own master, don't let the other decide for us!
Everyday gets a little bit advancement, and days by days, we can get a great achievement.
In a day, we become unfamiliar of writing if we do not write, similarly, our brain will not function well if we do not think. We should think carefully before we take any action. No matter of what kinds of actions, we should think deeply and consider carefully. By doing so, we will not regret, thinking will help us to gain more wisdom, and wisdom will help us to obtain success.

Song - EVEN THE NIGHTS ARE BETTER
EVEN THE NIGHTS ARE BETTER
Air Supply
I, I was the lonely one
Wondering what went wrong
Why love had gone
And left me lonely
I, I was so confused
Feeling like I'd just been used
Then you came to me
And my loneliness left me
I used to think I was tied to a heartache
That was the heartbreak
But now that I've found you
CHORUS
Even the nights are better
Now that we're here together
Even the nights are better
Since I found you
You, you knew just what to do
Cause you had been lonely too
And you showed me how
To ease the pain
And you did more
Than mend a broken heart
Cause now you've made a fire start
And I, I can see that you feel
The same way
I never thought there'd be someone to hold me
But then you told me
And now that I've found you
CHORUS
Even the days are brighter
When someone you love's beside ya
Even the nights are better
Since I found you
Air Supply
I, I was the lonely one
Wondering what went wrong
Why love had gone
And left me lonely
I, I was so confused
Feeling like I'd just been used
Then you came to me
And my loneliness left me
I used to think I was tied to a heartache
That was the heartbreak
But now that I've found you
CHORUS
Even the nights are better
Now that we're here together
Even the nights are better
Since I found you
You, you knew just what to do
Cause you had been lonely too
And you showed me how
To ease the pain
And you did more
Than mend a broken heart
Cause now you've made a fire start
And I, I can see that you feel
The same way
I never thought there'd be someone to hold me
But then you told me
And now that I've found you
CHORUS
Even the days are brighter
When someone you love's beside ya
Even the nights are better
Since I found you
