And now I am using such a software to write this article.actually I am very interested in the usage of the software though I have to enter some business nowI can't help trying with these it with more ideas. technology is so powerful. With awith these technology the disabled could be connected to the outside world very conveniently. I hope more people will be able to access the high technologies to make their lives more colorful.

Mr. Right? Wrong!

Relations are easier to build now. Of course I mean two persons of the opposite sexes. But it is not when looking more closely.  One example: The match making industry is flourishing and people are turning to friends to introduce someone who might prove to be the right one.

I've got friends, single.  They are lonely and become active in hunting for a partner. And I've got those friends too who are take great pride in match making. My girl, unfortunately, is enjoying this kind of activities. By now, she have tried at leat four times; The result, zero success rate.

I sometimes just wonder how contradictary this world displays itself (I would not quote the famous starting paragraph in 'Love of Two Cities' because I cannot remember exactly). The same goes on while we boast of such and such unprecedented progress. Technology has changed the world but it definitely has not changed the man itself. After all, the needs of a man is quite trackable. What happened is that people use new tactics to fulfil inborn desires.

Right. Just talk about love. Love is no longer that simple, but it is not complicated either.

Dream Job

People like talking about their jobs, even though they show apparent dissatisfaction about them (which unfortunately is a complaint coming out of most around me). So, I am confused: I don't know what is my dream job now.

A job means a lot; it requires your time, energy, and anxiety. Once you take a job that is not your type, the marriage seems disastrous. You become a negative influence though you show great enthusiasm when you pick up more distasteful aspects. I had friends who do this a lot around me. As one who has not entered the business world, I feel excited by their experience yet discouraged about my future choice.

Now I think it another way around. Yah, maybe what annoys one is not the job itself. It is the people around who make the job tasteless. Everywhere we see the RuneScape as people take their own stances and pressure on you. They bring their negative influence on you and dark your prospects on what you are doing; you become to understand how it could be that bad instead being rewarding.

P.s. I find that many inspiring books are about sales. The Greatest Salesman in the World and Napolean Hill have imposed great influence on me. And when it runs headlong into reality, nobody cares about your enthusiasm. They only care about how to make the enthusiasm fade away.

Time and Money

Time can be easily dispensed, so can money. I am experimenting with this and recording the process. Every little bit of time could be used if paid attention to them, and could also be squandered easily, especially when you are on the computer. For instance, I could have finished this journal in fifteen minutes but at the beginning I got distracted, drinking some water, viewing a video news, skimming others' pages. 

I know it is of great importance to record my time and pick out the really effecient moment. But you know, I find recording the time spent could lead to more expenditure of precious time as I have to stop and recollect my thoughts. Maybe that's why this method was seldomly carried out by people around me. But I decided to continue with the experiment and find the root.

It became clear to me that the core of time management is goal-orientedness. Though time conscious, you can still waste time on trivial things that could be put off forever. List all the to-do's and finish the items one by one, then at the end of the day, you will find how much progress you have made. Do things in blocks. 

These advices are everywhere, but seldom practiced. 

The same goes with money. You can spend it everywhere, you know, buy this buy that or simply give it away. If I have a target, all the money will be gathered to take care of that target. Little becomes much and enough. 

Take care of the money, the time....and the energy, after all these are the base for a promising future.

Hunting, Constantly

Life is full of surprises, if you want to find them.
Right now, I am in the hunting business - hunting real talents, and I find actually life is the ultimate hunting arena for every one. I search for talents with particular qualities and, to be honest, that's not an easy task because in most cases I have to face failures. To find a potential one, I have to overcome various blocks. When I am finally be able to approach the potential, there's a great probability that the person is not qualified or overqualified and may not consider my offers. And after my justification of the potential I would present him/her to my client and it would not be surprising that after intial contact, the potential or the client may reject the other side. And eventually, when the potential and the client fall in love with each other, they still have to face a tough question - the real-world thing that we call money. They still can dump each other when they can not agree on that item.
But I have found that there is full of surprises in the painful process. Who knows when the success comes. It is very intriguring. Loving it.
Everyone is hunting for a result, for a return. Keep doing it, and do it smart. Then there is goodness and happiness.

Learn from Scratch

We face situations where we are completely lost because we know nothing about them. Then 'know-how' becomes extremely desirable.

I have jumped into this new business, unaware of how deep it is. So I feel overwhelmed by the demands. I have no way to get control of the situation.

Mentors are useful. They are more experienced and know what should be tackled and how to tackle it. I am really thankful of the kind instructors. They have showed me ways short and effective.

As I develop, I become more conscious of my strengths and problems and know better about the past. To face new and tough situations, to learn to cope with them, to get experience and to conquer the old self and the difficulties are all about life value. When looking back into the innocent or ignorant days, one should feel satisfied after all the silly and discouraging trials.

Go get it.

I tell myself to learn more. After all, the accumulation and utility of knowledge and intelligence is the nature of growth.

I write as my thoughts go. Just as it is. Hope it is not too confusing.

Away for a While

I have been absent from this space for a while....because I am busy with my life or my work, or rather I am too lazy.

I have been away from my friends for a while as well and the reason is the same.

I don't say it, but I am really guilty. I have dreamed about my friends and the scences that when I meet them, I would be really ashamed. But still I keep myself away from them.

I don't know why. I just want to be along, to be absent from the outside world. I want to be myself, without any outside solid influence on me, especially from those who know me well. Maybe I want to transform, to surprise.

I have been thinking about future. I have experienced well with the old model and convinced the world I have the ability to play such and such roles. But when I am along, I want to show to myself that I can be a completely different person. So I dream, talk to myself in really private languages, watch movies, and read stories. Yes, change and newness are what I desire now.

All my friends must be missing me. Appreciated. I will be there when I am really ready.

Integrity at Risk

I am working. Very busy. The work itself is a challenge for me, at least at this moment.
I am a person believing in integrity. But when I step to the work, I have to learn to be social, or to be practically end-driven. And when the end is all, everything else would not get a second thought.
Personal efforts count, people skills count, and persistence counts. I haven't made my best because of the hesitance to exchange personal integrity with something else. How to value and keep my integrity becomes a issue ever more important for my future perspective about my career path. And I am wondering about the value of the work.
I suddenly find when writing this message that the best way to keep my integrity and make self-development is that I acquire good people skills, make ever more efforts and be persistent enough. Only in this way can I be able to make job done without bring damage to my integrity.
I remember there is a wise comment of Zhang Juzheng: To use tactics for selfless purposes and make friends not for self benefits. Follow this principle, and I will not be guilty of any blame.

Really love writing something. A great way to collect my thoughts and invite some enlightening ideas.

Lazy? -Never!

To be lazy is the best way of self-destruction.
I shall think, act and rest.
Reluctant to do any of them is bad.
To rest, in particular, is not paid attention to adequately.
I can do something continually for many hours without a break.
That is not wise.
Because it will dumb my mind and damage my health.
