Life is a poem without rhyme. Some people just don't know to appreciate the right ones.

I think there's a crucial element and aspect of a good higher education.

And it's that the university or college must instill and strengthen the student's hard working habit (not work ethic. The latter may only be taught by one's parents and himself?), as well as intellectual custom and curiosity, by constantly urging him on by loading him with relatively heavy academic learning and work. One extreme example of that is the infamous or famous "drinking from the fire hose" approach long adopted by MIT.

No offense, I can't keep from wondering about this.

Some Christians sort of plead with God to form a perpetual bond. But does God think pleading is the best form of praying?

"Wonton" is a good sort of food in Chinese cuisine.

However, it's very easy to be confused with the word "wanton", which signifies badness and mercilessness.

Love listening to Norah Jones' singing voice sliding down the pitch.

I often contemplate where my time has gone after a busy day.

Time is one of the most scarce resources an individual has nowadays.

Now I've become kind of wont to judge people significantly by their geographic origins. Sigh.

The custom of profit seeking is so ingrained in Capitalist societies that it's pivotal to compensate it with humanity.

Alas, not just few Canadians have scorn for Americans.

Chinese diet is apt to provide ample amounts of various vegetables, which comfort our stomachs and minds.

Many Canadian Olympic athletes train and compete almost entirely out of their own pockets, without governmental funding.

Yet their passion for their sports stay undiminished. That spirit goes on.

I'm going to try to run my little aptitudes and good-will through this world.

An ideal sales rhythm has no waste.

The newfound engine of economic development is knowledge and talent.

It's powerful. And it may not need much capital to begin with.

Chandeliers are a marvel, aren't they?

In general, animal rights advocates have been trying to reduce and eliminate the wanton treatment of animals by human beings. And that's good.

"At the crack of dawn" is a beautiful idiom, isn't it?

Will Nokia ever get to its feet?

Will it be able to roll out a mobile OS of its own which will be popular?

I'm wont to think as much as I can.

This world is summoned to run by perceptions which are accompanied by concepts.

Many people fear that the launch of Blackberry 10 expected of early next year by RIM will be the last lipstick on a pig.

How glorious RIM once had been. But lo, how low it has gone.

Last week, there's a protest by hundreds of professional scientists which skewered the federal government's funding cuts.

I guess that Harper just puts more focus on scientific and technological research projects which have more commercial values, against the backdrop of a perennially gloomy global economic climate.

All in all, to decide when to put more public financial resources into scientific research activities and when to put less is the job of the elected government and the democracy, the society, NOT the scientists, IMHO.

The maturation of global economy requires Western countries, including France and Japan, to adopt English as the ubiquitous language for business and higher education.

And that's happening, now.

Probably we'll see major changes on that aspect in Quebec as well in 5 - 10 years.

The sorts of fish which are generally available for food in Montreal, such as salmon and cod, are normally so ample, compared to the types of freshwater fish I used to eat in China.

Well, I didn't know optometrists serve kind of like general doctors for the medical branch which deals with eyes.

Ophthalmologists should be referred to by them, more or less.

To have been creative and have coined an effective little biz device can make you feel a bit triumphant.

I'm telling you. Adapting to a new and different life in Canada makes at least one third of Chinese immigrants' love life quite uneasy.

Crushes belong to salad days. They are green, romantic, and fresh.

Among Chinese poems, I prefer those which rhyme well.

Wow, this article about nursing homes in Canada is revealing:

At every workplace, there are telltales.

My toddler daughter is quite capable of emitting cracks of cry without reason.

Well, she definitely has her own reasons, but they are not understandable or reasonable to us adults. :-)

The wanton Cultural Revolution in China permanently sits there, looking at every Chinese steely.

Beautiful French language and song.

Are too many Canadians too meek?

"Superstitious" is a rhyme for "surreptitious".

Both are long words. They are not as good as "suspicious" and "delicious", I suppose?

人在小异国，注定忙死。人在小商途，注定忙死。人有小儿女，注定忙死。

Both China and the U.S. are smart-ass.

But which one of them has been kicking ass in science, technology, business, and humanity during the past century? Now we know the privilege of being a smart-ass must be earned, with sweat and innovation.

So far, the FOSS of Android has been a grand stratagem and strategy of Google.

I still don't completely understand why they put such enormous amount of resources into constantly developing Android and then release it entirely for free. Are they collecting user data or something?

You take someone into your confidence and you are exposing yourself.

任何一个企业的“永续经营”的理想，应该是象任何一个人的“长生不老”的梦想一样，是不可能实现的。“成住坏空”是铁律。

也许，对任何一个企业来说，包括 RIM，“但这已不重要，因为他已来过，活过，爱过——无论对任何人说来，这都已足够。”（摘自古龙《楚留香传奇》系列之《桃花传奇》正文最后一页）

Out of every famous drama, some well-known lines get declaimed in people's hearts time and time again.

Examples:

"The man knew what he wanted and went out and got it! Walked into a jungle and comes out, the age of twenty-one, and he's rich!"- Arthur Miller, Death of a Salesman, Act 1 

"After all the highways, and the trains, and the appointments, and the years, you end up worth more dead than alive."
- Arthur Miller, Death of a Salesman, Act 2

Full of his own importance, J set out to help.

Well, it's boring to have to watch the recurrent TV news pieces of the crash of some cars or aircrafts. But it's a necessary bore, I guess.

If it didn't exist, how could the random members of the public who are affected by the accidents get to know the happenings quickly and effectively?

I like the ambling sounds sung by Norah Jones.

The crush in the pubs on Crescent street left J a feeling of loneliness. He couldn't help it.

I don't know anything of the Italian language at all. But it seems that the Italian words existing in English rhyme very easily.

Almost every one of them ends with "tti" (as in "spaghetti"), "ni" (as in "tortellini"), "co" (as in "fiasco" and "alfresco"), or something similar.

A play's commentary is apt to be much more elaborate than its synopsis.

A young child's nursery is an oasis.

Some people prefer the JSON protocol over the XML one, some others the other way around.

I've been acting out the roles of web developer, sales rep, strategic planner, and business development rep.

That's typical for people trying to run his own little biz.

Many, if not most, people see the world just through the cracks of their own trade, upbringing, and so on.

Before, I didn't believe a broad view and a broad education is THAT important. But now I believe it. Yes, Virginia, crucial is a broad education or self-education, probably by the means of wide reading and studying.

Walmart will possibly be on the ropes in around 10 years.

Target, Amazon, ... and ever more competitors, equipped with better and more modern strategies, have been attacking it on all fronts.

Facebook must have been surreptitiously constantly evaluating the mobile scene.

Social networking is destined to be mobile. Who wants to be tethered to a computer desk while being social?

The nature of health care work makes the workers to be on call. It has its own tolls on their life.

Many a time, the play "Death of a Salesman" fills my heart with strong and complex feelings.

A folio book is twice as big as a quarto book.

On the altar of money, myriads of people are willing to sacrifice.

But many successful people say it is wrong.

A pentameter consists of five metrical feet. Why five?

Sales regimes must be systematic.

Typically, parents with toddler child or children to take care of often can't help but crash immediately after having dined and bathed their kids.

U. Q. eventually passed up the opportunity to go with J into J's biz endeavor and chose to go down in his own little sweat-shop biz. Sigh for U. Q.'s misjudgment and ungratefulness.

Different individuals' treatment of others varies very much. And it often evokes invisible sighs, on the other hand, it makes those truly good people stand out like shining diamonds.

The sounds of the English language seem to be full of iambs such as "adore" and "delay".
