过把瘾就死

年轻的时候认为有很多重要的东西在前面，只要不停奔走就能看到，走过来了发现重要的都在身后发生了，已经过去了，再往前又是一片空白。对过去，没有什么可遗憾的，也没有任何偶然，都是必须经过的。我不信一个人可以有两个以上的选择。

My promise to China (if China promise to unblock Google)

John — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 07:54:02 +0000

I use Google to check my personal email and company email, I use it to share word documents and spreadsheets, I use it for search and read up on my favorite blogs. However, today, everything came to a grinding halt when China blocked (and still blocking) Google and its applications.

I don’t care why China is blocking Google, but I’m innocent (I promise) and this punishment on Google have indirectly affected millions of people.

So here’s my promise to the Chinese government if they unblock Google for me:

1. I promise NOT to search for politically sensitive keywords;
2. I promise NOT to search for “unhealthy” materials;
3. I promise NOT to search about that Gate in the middle of Beijing;
4. I promise NOT to search about that man in exile in India;
5. I promise NOT to search about that “law wheel gong”;
6. Finally, I promise NOT to search for anything that might hurt the feelings of China.

OK now, would you pretty please with cherry on top, open your gate and let Google in?

You Matter

You matter

When you love the work you do and the people you do it with, you matter.

When you are so gracious and generous and aware that you think of other people before yourself, you matter.

When you leave the world a better place than you found it, you matter.

When you continue to raise the bar on what you do and how you do it, you matter.

When you teach and forgive and teach more before you rush to judge and demean, you matter.

When you touch the people in your life through your actions (and your words), you matter.

When kids grow up wanting to be you, you matter.

When you see the world as it is, but insist on making it more like it could be, you matter.

When you inspire a Nobel prize winner or a slum dweller, you matter.

When the room brightens when you walk in, you matter.

And when the legacy you leave behind lasts for hours, days or a lifetime, you matter.

Congratulations to Me!

No, not because the successful launch of my new blog, although that is an event worth celebrating. No, it’s a congratulation for my graduation.

After two years and two months of study (2006.12 – 2009.02), I finished my MBA program and is now a Master’s degree holder (clap clap clap). I never thought I would finish – working and learning at the same time – but two years later, as if in a flash, I took my last class, wrote my last term paper, finished the class class of my program.

So indeed, today is a happy day. Congratulations to me!
