After my seminar at U. Washington last Wed., a friend (and a colleague) told me that I should add a title to each slide. In fact, I had done so for half of my slides, but not to all of them. So, I sat down and revised my ppt for my upcoming semimar at U. Hawaii, which is on Nov. 15th (Thursday). See you there?
For the sake of privacy protection, I have deleted those sentences which are personal enough to leak the author's information. The original post: It was recently explained to me by a professor at XX College that the poem by Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken, was meant to be satirical. He has even been quoted as saying "One stanza of 'The Road Not Taken' was written while I was sitting on a sofa in the middle of England: Was found three or four years later, and I couldn't bear not to finish it. I wasn't thinking about mys elf there, but about a friend who had gone off to war, a person who, whichever road he went, would be sorry he didn't go the other. He was hard on himself that way." That completely made life so much better to hear that. Although I'm sure that whoever decides on the curriculum for American Lit in this country would disagree on this, I really think that when you cover satire in your American Lit. classes from now on, you should tell them this story. It really makes life so much nicer, in a strange, small way. My roommate is reading Socrates (Plato) right now, and she hates it. I don't blame her. Reading Socrates is like sticking your head in a pot of boiling water, and then transferring it to the Potomac. In essence, it is painful. So I told her to read it as satire, and that has made all the difference ; ) My mom asked me if I felt it was better satirically because it really says that you have to make choices and that is the way it is. I said that people always make huge deals about what "the right" decision is in a given situation (not necessarily when it comes to ethics, but just situations where you have to made a decision) ... And, for instance, my decision to ... Those were two decisions that could both be great, and they would probably bring me to two very different places in my life. My calling may have even changed, .... But we can't dwell on one decision as the one that "makes all the difference," because we can't know that. In either case our lives go on. And, unlike literal roads, the other decision doesn't exist once we have chosen a road. Because time is linear, any "going back" would actually still be going forward. And this is why I am glad I ... Because it has helped me to think about things like this o.O Paths cannot be compared. They are just so different. And you cannot see all the consequences of your decisions- even the decision that you made. Because our decisions have such a huge influence on so many different things that I don't think any one decision can be considered to have more of an impact than others. I mean some will obviously be remembered, like Obama becoming president ... But there were so many tiny little decisions made that led up to the large decisions. BTW, I have been taught to live in the present, and to not always live for the future, but to be content where I am. I know this is an important lesson for myself, because so often I sit and think about what the future could be like, when all along I am moving along toward that future, without efforts to live through the present. It's like when you are so excited for the weekend, that you forget to live through the week. Reply from one of her friends: Yeah, I like that explanation of the poem better, I think. That we shouldn't agonize over our decisions and search for "the one right answer" because we will never find it - there is a choice between two good paths, with possibly two completely different endings. But both will lead to a good adventure, ... and we must listen for that. But I agree that it is a bad idea to look back at our life choices and waste our time wondering what our lives would be had we chosen the other path. I mean, it's interesting to speculate a little, but there's a fine line between healthy curiosity and wasting one's time wondering about the past. Reply from another friend: I could not agree with you more on that, you never know what the road not taken would have been like. You never know which road would have made more difference, because you simply cannot compare.
这是一部关于笔友的电影，一位澳大利亚的女孩玛丽与纽约单身汉马克思保持通信长达20年之久。母亲的酗酒、父亲的怪癖，玛丽缺乏家庭关爱，性格忧郁，感情敏感。马克思是一个患有 亚斯伯格症（自闭症的一种）的犹太人，孤独肥胖，参加肥胖症患者互助小组同时抵挡不住巧克力三明治的诱惑，尝试过不同的工作，还中了一次彩票大奖。孤独和与周围环境的格格不入使他们成为忠实的笔友，虽然素未谋面，但却是对方“最好的唯一的朋友”。 认识的人越多，发现之所以跟某些人比较投缘的原因之一在于这些人可能是自己的另一个版本，包括好的版本和坏的版本。自己某一方面的特质在这个人的身上发挥到了极致以至于看到这个人就觉得很亲切，不由自主地被他/她吸引。最终成为朋友。有人说想知道一个人如何如何就看他所结交的朋友。用在我身上并不适合。我的朋友十分多元化，有的极其具有上进心，有的极其颓废。有的人极其爱面子，有人极其不拘小节。有的极其温柔贤惠，有的极其彪悍泼辣。有的幽默风趣，有的木讷乏味。有文艺青年，也有愤怒青年和2B青年。有萝莉，有妖女。（切不可对号入座，：））。当然他们都有一个共同点：善良，属于好人的范畴。他们的综合体就是乱七八糟极不靠谱又极其上进的我。关于好人插播一下，老公有个朋友之前问过他是不是我特瞧不上他这样的人，因为是做销售的，由于业务需要经常出入夜总会之类的场合，慢慢地假戏也变成真做了。我回答说，没有的事啊，人本来就是很复杂的，即使是拿到了博士学位，做了教授研究员的人肯定也都有他们阴暗的一面，人精神方面都是差不多的，不会因为你的学历高一点就会比其他人少变态一点。马丁塞利格曼说过“几乎所有的男性都是恋物癖狂”。 “已所不欲勿施于人”，“人所不欲勿施于己”。爱朋友，也要 爱自己 。一辈子太长，幸亏有你们陪伴在我身边。 “God gave us our relatives, thank god we can choose our friends.” “Everyone's lives are like a very long sidewalk.Some are well paved. Others,like mine,have cracks,banana skins and cigarette butts.Your sidewalk is like mine but probably not as many cracks...” “The reason I forgive you is because you are not perfect. You are imperfect, and so am I. All humans are imperfect, even the man outside my apartment who litters. When I was young, I wanted to be anybody but myself. Dr Bernard Hazelhof said if I was on a desert island then I would have to get used to my own company – just me and the coconuts. He said I would have to accept myself, my warts and all, and that we don’t get to choose our warts. They are a part of us and we have to live with them. We can, however, choose our friends and I glad I have chosen you.”
For new readers and those who request to be “ 好友 good friends” please read my 公告 栏 first. A friend of mine brought my attention to the followingarticle http://econintersect.com/b2evolution/blog2.php/2012/07/11/the-macroeconomics-of-chinese-kleptocracy which tries to explain 1. The economic miracle of China in the past 30years 2. The high saving rate of the Chinese public 3. Why China continues to buy U.S. Bond even if itpays so little interest 4. How the Chinese public is funding the prosperityof the State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) 5. How wide spread corruption is making a fewChinese very rich at the expense of the public Since there are no quantitative data given in the article,one cannot determine whether or not these explanations given are the principletruth and reason. But I don’t doubt their basic validity. Don’t mind therhetoric of the article but read it as an eye opener.
When you have trouble with a friend, no matter how upset you are, watch what you say. If you cannot talk about it to this friend, take a long walk and sort it out yourself. If a long walk does not free you from the trouble, go talk to this friend. No matter how upset you are, you have to believe she or he has been your friend for years therefore she or he could not be upsetting you intentionally. It takes guts to confront a friend with your hurt feelings, but it's better this way than shutting the door forever... TS, I am very worried about you. You offered to life me up, but I accidentally drown you.

Once, a friend gave me an idea. Its so interesting that I could not wait for any minute. I went to office by bike, though had written nothing. I enjoyed the night. There are no references for this new program. AFTER VISITING BEIJING LIBERARY, THREE TIMES,I HOLD IT. Two months later, an article (on compass satellite) were sent to a Chinese magazine. The editor said, in phone, it maybe an excellent one if Eight years ago, when I invited him to be a co-author, my friend said: its a item, I know , which belongs you, not for me. Just a little pity!Only can I give you the idea! Thats enough. You are a good writer, am I right? So, you must not feel any sorry about that little case. Who are this (captain) friend of mine? He is a post-70s, from middle China s Henan province. Perhaps, you, my dear reader, had seen his photo in my New year Days blog (100 some days ago). March 10, 2010
