This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

Further down the road, it will be interesting to watch how the China nation bridges to the outside world, excluding Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, emotionally and intellectually (Come on, don't you think that being familiar with popular Western music, flicks from Holywood and Europe, and Harry Potter yarns and the likes does NOT run deep and invoke much real-deal profundity in a society?), given that it has already done so economically and partly financially.

I don't really understand why people still keep trying and trying to scrape into the financial industry.
Its heyday is gone. And people already working in it have been trying to break away from it for various reasons.
Forage grass is different than lawn grass.
Analogously, people founding companies are different than people working for companies.

These years of very deep economic crises brought Americans their reckoning.
Just don't live beyond your means. So for those lending agencies, such as VISA and MasterCard, how well will their businesses go?
Here's a caveat everyone should consider.
If you go abroad from China, which skills will enable you to compete in a foreign job market? If you go the opposite direction, then which skills will enable you to compete in the unique Chinese job market?
Article via web - Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior
Here's an article on WSJ: Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior. My opinion of Yale Law Professor Amy Chua dropped some notches after having skimmed that essay of hers. Perhaps I was being too judgmental.
Mr. Tony Blair, an ex Prime Minister of Britain, likes G and T.

But he was a Prime Minister of a land which produces the best whiskeys in the world. Now we know that men really differ in their tastes.
