iPads vis-a-vis China

(Picture from http://goo.gl/hum3n)

I am amazed by the fact that iPads and iPhones have been bought, or craved, by many consumers in China's urban areas. That, may signal a watershed that China's consumers need higher end products and services.

太阳 你在哪里?

我对 Montreal 的阴天, 发出貌似唐朝乐队的一吼。当然,我还是没有那么喜欢他们的那一首歌。

“因为这些知识是好的,应该让你们知道。”

我在豆瓣上偶尔看到的:

我上大学时,有一次我的数学教授在课堂上讲到:我现在所教的数学,你们也许一生都用不到,但我还要教,因为这些知识是好的,应该让你们知道。这位老师的胸襟之高远,使我终生佩服。

Meaningful money only can be made in passing.

Sometimes I really tend to think that happiness is the most expensive thing for any one in the world.

The ability to get it cannot be found on everybody, yet the yearn for it is inevitably found on everybody. And that is one of the reasons why the business of seriously making merry, such as entertainment film-making and entertainment music making, is of the magnitude of at least 100 billion US dollars, globally.

We must mark their works, in order to know more about their thoughts and emotions, and more about ourselves, I think.

Money worship, if too abrasively pervasive in a human organization, would lead to one common ruin.

Any society, including the largely atheist China, should not allow that to happen.

Any man should not be deputed to go without the armor of pragmatism.

Innocence must be lost ASAP.

I for one suspect that patriotism would be readier for conjuration in Canada, the U.K., and the U.S. than in China.

Cynicism may be one of the biggest perpetual enemies a man must fight against.

Hmm, consider myself warned.
