I was slayed by this article by Mr. Forbes:

At the current seemingly prevalent price point, it appears nearly impossible for Z. O. to scale up his little side business.

I'm not sure if the fillers such as "you know" and "I'm like" are bad English.

Failing to address one's competence issues other than academic ones, such as EQ and etiquette, simply taking on more formal academic courses doesn't bring much additive value, I'm afraid.

The world esteems President Obama not because he's black, but because of his actual achievements as a U.S. president.

If a war between China and Japan really breaks out, I for one doubt how many Chinese soldiers and military technical personnel will act valiantly in pivotal combats, particularly given the well-known fact of the ever exacerbating situation of pervasive corruption and money-worship in China's society.

Besides, is it really necessary for China or Japan to start a war and send troops to fight and die and let their parents groan and cry? And what about Russia?

"Later on" just means "later". Just that.

Now with more and more domestic artists and civilians daring China's government to move to a more democratic sovereignty, I for one am not sure what will happen to China in 10 years and in 30 years.

Scientists say that foods larded with sugar, salt, and fat are somewhat intrinsically addictive for humans.

Now picture those people gobbling down large hamburgers along with soda drinks day in and day out. They are addicted to quite unhealthy diets.

Sometimes parents groan with near exhaustion after taking care of their babies, when the latter give the former a hard time, which happens from time to time.

Women in China's large cities are apt to be emulous of others' carrying a Louis Vuitton handbag or something.

It's reported that many Canadians, both teenagers and adults, don't have time or the will to exercise their bodies.

The consequences will come home to roost for themselves, and for the medical care system of Canada.

"Claude" is a unisex name in French.

By the way, Claude Monet left so much heritage. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Monet.

In terms of learning about English vocabulary, I'm not sure if the word "fag" (cigarette) is really not etymologically related to "faggot" (no offense to homosexual guys).

Now I suspect with the ascendance of the education level of average Joes and Janes, which in itself is a very good thing, more and more people have got reading addiction to some degree, as a side effect.

I see it in Canada. And I see it on Douban.com .

During the journey to re-define the future, sometimes one has to sacrifice significant short-term monetary gains in order to seek higher long-term profits.

I did that.

Ignorant sanguinity is not what I want.

Cash in, and cost out. That's one's life of consumption.

More and more whispers about getting rich in Africa have been circulating among Chinese.

To work in Africa is not my cup of tea, though.

Patience is a necessary additive for most sorts of work towards achievements.
