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 think there's a crucial element and aspect of a good higher education.
And it's that the university or college must instill and strengthen the student's hard working habit (not work ethic. The latter may only be taught by one's parents and himself?), as well as intellectual custom and curiosity, by constantly urging him on by loading him with relatively heavy academic learning and work. One extreme example of that is the infamous or famous "drinking from the fire hose" approach long adopted by MIT.

"Wonton" is a good sort of food in Chinese cuisine.
However, it's very easy to be confused with the word "wanton", which signifies badness and mercilessness.

I often contemplate where my time has gone after a busy day.
Time is one of the most scarce resources an individual has nowadays.

Many Canadian Olympic athletes train and compete almost entirely out of their own pockets, without governmental funding.
Yet their passion for their sports stay undiminished. That spirit goes on.

The newfound engine of economic development is knowledge and talent.
It's powerful. And it may not need much capital to begin with.

Will Nokia ever get to its feet?
Will it be able to roll out a mobile OS of its own which will be popular?
