In the recent episode of Britian’s Got Talent, Simon was giving comments after a dance act. He said the current time was hard, extremely on young people. I don’t know how young Simon was talking about. But I guess the time is quite harsh just to everyone. Because of this, when I hear Maria Mena’s [...]

Interesting movie title, corny blog title.
There are basically three types of beginning of a detective movie. One, to start from the suspect perspective, you would have the ‘advantage’ of knowing what exactly happened. Two, to start from the victim perspective, you could trace back for what exactly happened. Last, to start from the police perspective, you [...]

最近发现工作的时间占去了大半，多半都是些累人累己的活儿，辛苦了大半天也看不到有啥进展和改善，所以是属于混得不爽的一段日子。
几个礼拜前的周五大哭了一次。总算忍住没在办公室掉眼泪，不是因为没到伤心处，是因为忙得没时间去酝酿情绪。那天和一个法国老外大干了一架，人家很臭屁地说自己忙，就给了个根本错误的方案，明知道是错的，我都没空反驳。 （他很忙，我也很忙。）而且我一向工作的原则是把问题解决了才是王道。所以一回到家，打开黑莓，看着里面一个接一个的会议，不禁问自己，这到底是为什么？凭什么老外蛮不讲理我就不该往心里去！每个人都忙成这样了，凭什么就他在那里咋呼咋呼地说自己！在线开会的时候，美国同事说谁让他是法国人呢！那意思好像法国人就天生可以无理取闹，不尊重人了。后来想想，同事可能是想说明此人不是种族歧视，也不是性别歧视，就是不讲文明礼貌，属于教育水平问题。在很多情况下，他可能自己都不知道自己有多过分，想到这里，我的眼泪有大部分就是为自己流的了。想想我在几千公里外的地方被他呕得不行，他可能自己都不知道无形中已经得罪了很多同事，还真为自己觉得不值。
事情过去了一阵以后，时常想，现在比较快乐吗？在国内彻底换了行业，从二零零五开始进入一个全新的领域，到今年也就是四年的光景。我从一个完全没有IT背景的见习顾问开始做到现在统管亚太区的区域经理，这个中滋味，有时我自己也很难分辨。过去四处游历的记忆似乎渐渐褪去，现在连我自己都很难相信我曾经独自一人在外漂泊了这么久。很诚实地说，我时常惊讶于自己的潜力。懵懵懂懂地就干了三年多的民工顾问，领教了很多高人，也见识了很多矮人。一年一年地过得飞快，可能如今最深的体会就是所有的问题根本上其实就是两大类问题：钱的问题和人的问题。
