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.

English appreciation - a quote
"Epitaph.
Done to death by slanderous tongues
Was the Hero that here lies."
- Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare
My wife and I are afraid that our toddler daughter is an epicure. :-)
Sometime it's really difficult to please her palate.

All these years, I've been ogling many varieties of biz insights. Hopefully the next ten years will bear fruits of that.
Lately I've really seen that an individual's career or biz vision, aspiration, and potential is NOT really just the resultant of his most recent SEVERAL years of work and life, instead, it is the resultant of at least TEN recent years of his work and life.
I hadn't known what the differences are among biscuit, cookie, and cracker.
So I headed to my internet search engine to find it out. However, after having skimmed the top part of the painfully long article at http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodcookies.html , I'm still almost confused as ever.

I'm not sure if my creativity in its general term is strong. But I'm apt to be highly analytical and probing.
And I'm capable of asking a volley of questions in order to dig around and deeper into a subject or a particular train of thought.

In Canada, two past tech giants, Nortel and RIM, have crashed one by one.
Now, will Bombardier face a somewhat similar fate in the future, given the forceful and lower-cost competition from Brazil and China?
How many conquests had the ancient China taken from its neighboring countries?
And how many ones has Russia done?

Warlike peoples are very apt to view honor to be even higher than their own lives.
One example is the ancient Japanese samurai which are quite well known to Chinese.
The other one is that pre-Christian Romans preferred to commit suicide rather than live a life which is ignoble in their view.
