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.

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?

On the altar of money, myriads of people are willing to sacrifice.
But many successful people say it is wrong.

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.

Blank Verse in English poetry
Quote:
Blank verse is poetry written in unrhymed iambic pentameter. It has been described as "probably the most common and influential form that English poetry has taken since the sixteenth century" and Paul Fussell has claimed that "about three-quarters of all English poetry is in blank verse."
