• All power is from within and is therefore under our control!

  2008-4-23

  All power is from within and is therefore under our control.

  We can create the thing in the way we want, and we can do anything we wish to do!

  I am creating a miracle now, the answer is coming tommorrow!

• The Failure and A New Beginning

  2008-3-20

  I am back. Busy handling the so-called important things for over three weeks, I am back to school and start a new turn of life again.
  
  I went to my former graduate school in Wuhan for the trial teaching and interview two weeks ago, and I was failed this time. For the jobhunting, this was the first interview and the only time for jobhunting. To be a university teacher is becoming a dream that will never come true for the postgraduate student in the Mainland of China. I have told myself before the interview that this would be my last chance to go to a college as a teacher. I was informed of the failure several minutes before I arrived at home. For the first time in public, I cried on the bus. Anyway, that's much better than received the bad news after I saw my parents giving them the dream for success, that would be too cruel for them.
  
  To be a college teacher is a total dream from the beginning to the end, I was awaken when I heard from the news. I am now determined to be a white-collar in a small but interesting company, keeping a routine life. This would be the first bus stop in my life, and fortunately, I like it and am good at doing such a job. I do not know where's my next bus stop and what my career is like. I do not want to think about that now, and I just know I like the coming job and I will do it with my best effort.
  
  I will go to the company next Monday, and I am ready !

• Stop Helping South Korean Robbing Chinese Traditional Culture Heritage

  2008-3-01

  source from:http://www.petitiononline.com/cnyichan/petition.html

  To:  United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)

  For many years, the art of fengshui has been seen as an indispensable part of Chinese traditional culture. But recently, this long standing heritage was challenged when South Korea applied to list the art as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage under its name.
  
  South Korea succeeded in adding the Dragon Boat Festival, a celebration used to commemorate Qu Yuan, a Chinese patriot in olden times, onto the World Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2005. And now the Koreans are likely to win again. Nothing has hinted that the application will fail as the process is backed by all Korean nationals, from the country's president to the UN general-secretary.
  
  Contrary to South Korea's zeal for applying fengshui, Chinese government still deem the art as a superstitious method to judge good or ill luck and refuse to issue official certificates to those engaged in the fengshui industry.
  The art of fengshui failed to be mentioned in the shortlist, which includes 35 cultural arts, that China has drawn up in preparation for next years World Intangible Cultural Heritage nomination procedure.
  
  As Chinese, we are very disappointed with the zero reaction from the Chinese government toward the urgent situation. On the other hand, we are trying to do whatever we can to avoid this "cultural robbery" happening. We are very happy to share our cultures with everyone, it's the wealth of the whole world. However we think it's extremely disgraceful attempt on robbing it.
  
  We appreciate it very much for UNESCO protecting and respecting the cultural heritage of humanity, however, we don't think accepting the application of South Korea listing fengshui under its name would be helpful for protecting the human cultural heritage. It would only deliver a wrong message to the world that robber could steal others heritage without punishment.
  
  We hope UNESCO would investigate the case carefully. History will not change just because one list, but truth and justice should be told to everyone.

  Sincerely,

  The Undersigned

• A letter from my best friend and the reply

  2008-2-29

  Dear Serena:

  How does everything goes? I miss you very much.

  I have found a job through three interviews and will take part in the training next Tuesday i.e Mar,3.  

  From hunting for a job, I feel Shanghai is a city that pay great attention on one's ability and experience is of great importance,too. At the same time, I feel my English is very poor, so now I'am working hard on improving my English.  

   

  Yours

  Jane

   

  --------------------------------------

  Dear Jane,

   Congratulations!So glad to hear that you have had a job and will receive the training soon. Never been so glad to hear such good news! I believe that you will have a very bright and promising future, since you are always so confident, diligent and brave.

   

  Well, you still did not tell me what your job was. I am desiring for knowing what it is like.

   

  For my jobhunting, I have a piece of news to tell you, I will go to my former university for the trial teaching. It's kind of happy and worry for my to hear it. For one hand, I dream of going back as a university teacher, it is so promising and delightful, isn't it? If I succeed this time, I will do what I am good at and live a peaceful and stable life, with over two months holidays every year.For the other hand, I heard that if one wanted to teach in such kind of school, he/she had to spend a lot of money using all sorts of "guanxi". That is so difficult for me. It is not because I am reluctant to spend such a big amount of money, but becaue to beg for the person in charge with money is so, so, so difficult for me. I hate begging others to help me. And I hate it so much!! I even regret receiving such a trial teaching. The future seems so dark and I am in the Fortress Besieged now."Those who are outside want to get in, and those who are inside want to get out. "

   

  Anyway, I will break the ice and walk the first step. This is the last chance for me to work as a university English teacher.

   

  Well, do not let such depressed emotion pollute your feelings. Don't worry about me. I am okey now. Please don't worry.

   

  I am so busy these days, the thesis' deadline is next week and the trial teaching interview is also in the next week.

   

  Pray for me to go through all of these messes!

• Good News---Thesis Deadline Postponed for One Week

  2008-2-28

    The best and most exciting news for me today was the postponement of the thesis deadline.There are still and only ten days left for me to finish it. This time I will make careful preparations. I heard that there were four thesis of the first-draft rejected last year. Terrible news! All of us are fighting against the thesis now, staying up late or all night accompanied by piles of instant food. There are only two topics left for our graduates after saying hello:jobhunting and thesis assignment. It seems that we are surrounded by all sorts of rumors on the jobs. Good news or bad news!This guy has been recruited as a college teacher but that one (maybe his classmate)as a middle school teacher; or some top guys still haven't received any interviews. Nothing is impossible and anything is possible.

    This afternoon, my classmate Ling (6 years' classmate since 2002)told me that two of her roommates had been enrolled into Xiamen Customs and Nanjing Maritime Bureau respectively, and she herself was applying for a university in UK with a relatively high IELTS mark. So glad to hear such good news, although I don't know where my job career will begin and what it is like. Congratulations to them all! For the trial teaching interview on March 12, I am desiring for the success and my dream will come true.Yeah, I know, make good preparations and keep confident are of much importance me. First, the thesis, and second the trial teaching!! Just remember: every minute and every second counts !

• Try my Best

  2008-2-27

  So proud that I have run 5 kms yesterday evening, although the cold gets heavier and I have to take some medicine right now.

  Today I have to finish so many tasks,with two legal texts to translate and the deadline is tomorrow afternoon. It should have a new-term meeting this afternoon, unluckly it is postponed to tomorrow afternoon.Oh, tomorrow, Doc. Li Kaifu will give a lecture in our university.I desire for his lecture these years and admire him very much.It's a pity that I got the news too late and all the tickets have been booked on the internet.However, there will be a live broadcast in the teaching rooms.No matter how I am busy these days, I am going to the live-broadcast room for his lecture.I believe that his lecture must be spiritual and encouraging, full of intelligence.

  Since I came to this university, I have just listened to one lecture full of passion and wits, that is from Li Changyu, the most famous detective in the world.My student career will be finished this summer, I want to make full use of the resources provided by our uni., to listen to as many lectures as possible, to listen to some subjects from the famous teachers, to read some beneficary books in the library, to take exercise every day, to climb the Baiyun Mountain if possible, so on and so forth. Thinking about the coming graduation, I feel sentimental and  sick at heart. Time, time, time! Time is never too much. Time flys so quickly.The only way to hold it is never to waste it and to do something meaningful, helpful and positive. Ok, I have to do the translation!I can handle these things properly.Fighting!

• Get a Cold ?!

  2008-2-26

  I have been sneezing since last night, and my nose feels very bad. I am wondering if I am having got a cold.Since I haven't got a cold for many years, only two times from 2002 till now (one in 2002 and the other in 2005), with the habit of jogging half an hour every day, I believed that I would not get a cold these years and was always proud of such a wonderful health condition. But now, the sneeze and nose warn me of my health!

  It is the crucial moment for me these two weeks.I have to finish my thesis this weekend and prepare for an important interview the following week.Two of the most important tasks for my career! I will not let such little disease destroy me. To tell you the truth, I haven't jogged or done any sport since last October when I came to a company as an intern in Beijing.Wow, almost four months worked or entertained on the internet. No wondering why I am seemingly getting a cold and feel not well. I don't want to take any medicines and maybe the best way to get well is to take exercise, running ten arounds on the playgrouds. Oh, I am missing the playgroud, missing the feeling when I am fly.Running is my favorite sport and I can run 10,000 meters in the past.Runnig energizes me and keep me happy and healthy.I've depressed because of many things for two months. I think it is a good opportunity for me to get myself back again! Absolutely! Come on, fighting!

• Sow an action, Reap a Habit

  2008-2-26

  It's late night and early morning, a new day is coming. I'm now opening my English blog for the first time, to improve my oral English and balance my English level.I have learned English for a dozen years, majoring in English but still lacking confidence in my spoken English. Because of my character, shy, introvert, lazy, and the like, I rarely talk with my friends in English.......

  Well, what I have said is my past and I decided to fight against my weakness and write down the trifles during my daily lives. I will try my best to write my story on this blog every day or at least 5 times a week.What's more, I will keep all the happy things, even it's unimportant right now, it will be a treason of my life when I am old. The most inspiring words that I like most is from George Dana Boardman (1828-1903)as follows,

      Sow a thought, reap an action;
  
      Sow an action,  reap a habit;
  
      Sow a habit, reap a character;
  
      Sow a character, reap a destiny.
  
  Now, I have sowed my thought--keep the English diary everyday--and am reaping an action. This action will reap a habit later on and my character will be improved corresponding.Just now, I googled a good PPT text talked about habit and life, which is very useful for me now. Surprisingly, there are several mottos cited by the lecturer, I copied it right now to inpire me.

  1. You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.--John C. Maxwell

  2.If you want to distance yourself from the masses and enjoy a unique lifestyle, understand this--your habits will determine your future.-- Jack Canfield

  3. There are but two roads that lead to an important goal and to the doing of great things: strength and perseverance. Strength is the lot of but a few privileged man; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous,may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.--Johann von Goethe

  4.nOne step and then another, and the longest walk is ended.

   One stitch and then another, and the longest rent is mended.

   One brick upon another, and the tallest wall is made. 

   One flake and then another, and the deepest snow is laid.

   5. He who every morning has a plan for the transactions of the day and follows that plan carries thread that will guide hime through labyrinth of the most busy life.--Victor Hugov
