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.

At every workplace, there are telltales.

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

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.
