未曾播放的专辑

December 30, 2008
那是北京过往20年最温暖的冬天,我坐在有着巨大的玻璃幕墙的图书馆里,百无聊赖的翻看着专业课的笔记,阳光洒在淡黄的纸张上,甚至有些刺眼,面前的thinkpad连着不能上msn的校园网,可以打开gmail,可以打开太傻,可以不停的灌水,刷版,冬子告诉我我们在布什访华时守候机场一下午拍的照片登上《世界新闻报》的头版,上面有我的名字…
 
我平静的等待着有关英国的一切消息,寄出了所有的申请,收到了曼大,Shef还有帝国理工的确认,我信心满满,我了解那些我期待的offer一定会来,温暖的图书馆,在暖气边甚至有些燥热,我静静心,发酵着思念,等着一些人的消息,等着amazon uk帮我寄出的礼物…
 
The Rising Tied [ENHANCED] [EXPLICIT LYRICS], by Fort Minor
那是我给她的圣诞节礼物,为她在uk的第一个节日,她喜欢Linkin Park,pre-order,让她在public release的第一天就拿到它,她写了日志,在相册里加了照片
For me? Yes, I was so happy, full of sweet.

彼时,是2005年11月24日。那是流行“华丽的分割线”的年代~
 
Just now,阳阳在旁边放音乐,听到这首歌,Where’d You Go (feat. Holly Brook and Jonah Matranga),就是space里现在播放的,觉得很好听,要过来,去amazon上查了查,惊奇的发现专辑的封面…
 
我其实从来没有听过它,either that of Linkin Park,even after she came back from UK。我从没想过我会以这样一种方式重新come across那记忆的片段,想起她,想起那时的我们,想起英国之于我,之于我们的一切不同。
 
其实是感慨,如这世上确有她所信仰的主一样,记忆,总是在不经意的时刻被唤醒。
 
借她相册的照片用一用咯~ 
你拍攝的 DSC00553。
  
06年的夏天,我回掉了帝国理工的offer,选了另一条完全不同的路,好在,聊以自慰的,我也发现,多年来,虽然有时很辛苦,我其实从未放弃梦想的追求。
 
Though I am trying to persuade myself to realize that there would be a day I might have to call it a day, this memory, however, is the best gift I get as we all say farewell to an eventful year.
Thank you Irene, for reminds me so many memories, with great bravery, courage, inspiration and motivation.

想念大家~想念所有还欠我一个大hug的你们~

你确定要改我写的东西吗?

December 23, 2008
很不爽,当自己写的东西被人改的面目全非,如果改的好了,也就罢了,我权当上了免费的写作课,也算占了大便宜,可要是改出来的文章比自己的原文差的远了,又该怎么样呢?
 

Somebody argued that boss can edit whatever his or her employee write for business as he or she wishes and this is a method to build manager’s authority, while others hold position that if boss cannot write as well as employee, he or she should pay enough respect to his or her employee’s article as this express respect, trust and affirmation along with encouraging a good enterprise culture. In my point of view, to large extent I support the later opinion as giving a proper respect to employee’s work has nothing to do to lower leader’s reputation but build manager’s prestige.

 

In one aspect, it is commonly acknowledged that younger generation may has better education than older people which means junior staff may has a better environment and chance to be better trained in some essential business techniques than senior manager. Obviously writing business letter is most vital skills a business man should have among all business abilities. By applying Opening Policy for past thirty years and arranging more resource for education in decades, students in China have had much more sources and opportunities to be well educated in English and Business related subjects than ever before, many among them even had taken some foreign English test such as IELTS, TOEFL that has a more crucial standard for test takers to achieve, which leads to a significant progress of their English business writing skills than those of people graduated two decades ago.

 

Apart from above, it is also to be estimated that in a healthy progressing company, the average quality of staffs joined same year should increase gradually as well which suggest that a higher possibility that junior staff could write better than senior manager in view by grammar and sentence.

 

Moreover, the senior managers’ viewpoint towards their junior staffs’ writing could probably affect the relationship between management and staff and then eventually contribute or harm teamwork as well as company’s development. Although I do admit that junior staffs are lacking business experience than their senior managers which will cause some problem in their wording and expression, it is really important that senior managers to focus only on faulty aspect of their juniors writing and pay full respect to its better aspect as this will be a wonderful chance for seniors to communicate with juniors and initiate experiences. On the contrary, if senior managers are about to edit a very well-organized article which only has a few improper wording and expression outrageously and regard this as a way to build their own prestige, in most cases, it is likely to behave like a double-edge sword that cuts both way as not only hurt well-skilled junior staffs’ feeling but also damage senior managers’ reputation.

 

In conclusion, senior managers should always be aware to what extent they should respect their junior staffs’ ability and recognize their staffs’ better work, as this is vital to build up a better and healthier enterprise culture and encourage juniors to move forward as well. To juggle an elegant writing from junior staff in order to flaunt his or her authority and ability may not be a wise idea for well-behaved and well-reputed manager.

五片啊!试想一下将一张红色的印着毛主席头像的人民纸蘸蘸芥末,放在嘴里,一下,就化了…不知道是什么感觉…估计就是传说中的“令人愉悦的忧伤”吧…

太强大了,国内同志们啊,原来你们已经结束社会主义初级阶段了…

不知道我什么时候能尝试一下

也许我可以买件纯白T恤,然后将胸前背后的位子卖了广告,如果能卖够2k块,应该就可以去吃一顿了吧…
