Peter Pan has grown up.

When I joined the company, I learned many jargons, one of which is called result-driven, and it is also one of the items that will be reviewed at the end of every year during the performance review.

But unfortunately, I do not get a good feedback on this item.

Several weeks ago, the whole department attended  quite an exciting and challenging outward training, including an oriented match and the CS camp.

In the orienting, we are given a task, asking us to reach a selected destination. But the tasks are more than that. Besides getting to the destination, we also need to pick up at least 30 different kinds of leaves, get the signatures of more than 15 strangers and find out at least 5 local tales.

A friend of mine is going to leaving China to work in Dubai this Saturday, this is her choice.

We can make a very interesting comparison between choices and the TV channels, if we only have a couple of channels, people might complain that there is nothing interesting to watch, but on the other hand, when we have a good many TV channels, we probably would say I do not which one to choose.

It is the same with our choices about other things, sometimes, people say I wanna change, but I have no other choices; but let us think the other way around, if we have a bunch of choices, do we really how to make a choice? Or what may have to put a lot of things into consideration to make a so-called sound choice, and all these adds to the uncertainty of the choices.

The western saying goes like “ You can not eat and have the bread”. The Chinese philosophy tells us you have to discard something if you want to get something.  While the economists might suggest considering the cost of opportunity when making the choice.

This is life, a life of antinomy, a life full of uncertainty, a life which is really live instead of rehearsed, a life, in which we might cheer on a choice we have ever made or regret with a sigh of not making the right choice.

It has been almost one year since I last updated the blog.

It seems that I am so good at finding excuses of not updating it.

I hope this time I can stick to it and ponder more and write more.

   I stayed at Xi’an for the whole week last week to help to recruit new engineers and technicians for technical departments, so now I am writing to share with you some tips for the interview, which are just my personal perceptions: and now it is also the seasons for the graduates to look for jobs, so I hope these could be of some use.

First of all, care for some details.

The interviewee should be well-dressed, people do not have to wear expensive suits, but the interviewees are definitely supposed to be tidy and neat. This will make the interviewer feel respected;

Do not forget to say hi to the interviewer, he or she may be in an advantageous position, but he or she is just a normal person after all, So do not feel very nervous and try to be friendly, in some cases, shake hands with the interviewer after the interview.

Second, be confident.

The interviewee should embody the confidence during the interview, there are more challenges in the real life than a student with no working experience can ever imagine. So you should convince the interviewer that you are equipped with the confidence you can deal with the challenging tasks you are going to encounter.

 Third, do not brag, be honest.

During the interview, I have found that some people exaggerated about such things as their capabilities, skills, trainings etc.

But do not go too far, otherwise, if you are found to have written something false, your overall rating could be rather poor.

Best wishes

前两天在网上瞎逛，无意中看到一个帖子，这个帖子是在问知不知道多年前一部讲在日本的留学生的纪录片《我们的留学生活》中那些主人公的现状。

这个纪录片我初中的时候就听说过，但是只是看了一点，所以就在网上重新找来看看， 也算得上是对于目前浮躁生活的一种镇定剂吧。

这个纪录片描述了一群充满理想的并为理想奋斗的人的生活的酸甜苦辣。 有人三十多岁了还在为了一个博士学位奋斗，有人很小就告别了父母在日本打工读书，有人为了不让女儿受没有文化的苦，自己在日本打几份工，送女儿去美国读书。 看了这个片子感受挺多，自己也在想象如果我也身处异乡，可否吃这种苦，可否适应这种内心的寂寥，可否可以依然坚持自己的理想
