Linguistic conceits can drive and direct readers' train of thought.

Corn bread, as well as oat bread, tastes good after having been toasted.

I've been spending my time providently. Spending one's time consumptively is uncultivated folly.

Many entrepreneurs regret they have introduced outside investments, especially IPOs, into their companies. So all budding entrepreneurs had better be wary of taking outside investments.

In the early New France, essentially there were four forces in its economic life: the fur traders, the fishermen, the seigneurs, and the habitants.

I don't like the information sources whose authors lard their social media updates with a lot of which music they listen to and so on.

I would say that the cooks at many Chinese restaurants in Montreal are not professional enough at cooking. They aren't decently trained, either by others or by themselves.

Take me to the mat if you want.

Having been a Chinese Canadian, I must have not been close up to China any more in terms of what interests me.

The streets are shrouded in rain mists.

HP makes quite decent consumer products. I suppose it tries its deep best at every price point at which it meets consumers.

That's goodwill.

I like the feel of the overcast weather in this fall which has been appearing often lately and which is slightly bright due to the sun behind the clouds.

有些人，永遠不會說 “對不起” 的。他們的心胸寬廣程度，大概是一輩子永遠不成長的。

希望我的心胸不是那樣地不成長。

I'm not sure if the genre of biz news mags can stand up to the justification of its existence in this era. For instances, Forbes' website appears horrendously cluttered and ugly, Fortune isn't quite deep, and The Economist doesn't feel as sharp as it should.

By contrast, it seems that The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The Wall Street Journal can bring better information and news than the above mentioned biz mags. In my current perception, these three news media from New York City are authoritative and interesting.

A lot of things are amiss in life. You've got to right the wrongs or tolerate them.

The soft pads of cat's feet feel pretty likable. :-)

Some Chinese people tend to base their thoughts on conjectures instead of on facts.

I'm against that attitude.

The St. Lawrence river was the transportation highway of the fur traders in the early New France. They strewed their footprint from there.

Many years ago, for multiple months, I had my hair frizzled. And I looked better wearing that hair than wearing my natural hair.

Perhaps I'll get my hair frizzled again and just have a change.

Why do Americans importune women public figures to be relatively good-looking?

It seems that women who aren't as good-looking as Hilary Clinton, Sarah Palin, Meg Whitman and so on don't stand a chance to establish themselves in public arenas.

On the other hand, Angela Merkel, the current Chancellor of Germany, wouldn't be a successful politician if she were an American who wants to pursue politics, I guess.

There lies the difference of attitudes toward women public figures between the U.S. and Germany.
