Be prepared …

I reckon one of the hardest thing to do / achieve in the world, at least for me, is “Prepared to be better”. What I mean is … are you prepared to …

  • be a better son, daughter, brother, sister, mother or father ?
  • be a better boy friend, girl friend, husband or wife ?
  • be a better staff, boss, or coworker ?
  • be a better friend ?
  • be a better man, woman ?

Are you prepared ? If not, what you gonna do now or tomorrow ? Before it is too late …

Rumsfeld’s Poem

Stumble upon this web site today and there is a collection of “poetry”of the US ex-DOD chief – D. H. Rumsfeld. It’s really amazing that what one can speak in front of the press … and I remember this lucidly …

“As we know, there are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know there are known unknowns.
That is to say we know there are some things we do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns.
The ones we don’t know we don’t know.”

But somehow Mr. Rumsfeld missed one more thing:

“There are unknown knowns, the ones we don’t know we know …” 😎

Along The River …

It’s the third time I visited the Arts Musuem this year but this time is the best so far. There are lots of masterpieces being exhibited but obviously the most attractive one is the “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” – painted 880 hundred years ago. In the 5 meter painting, there are extreme details of 814 humans, 28 boats, 94 animals, 170 trees and of course, the life of people in 880 years ago.

In a word, AMAZING.

Salary Range

What would be your answer with such a survey question ?

Salary Range:

  • Be as specific or as unspecific as you wish.
  • For example, you could give a range of 20-30K, 30-40K etc.,
  • Or a comparison, e.g. “Less than a dentist my age but more than a bank manager.”
  • Or a subjective statement, e.g. “More than I expected, but less than I deserve.”

It’s not a joke, I got the survey form last week from my university … so I suppose my answer to that shall be “Less than I expected, but more than I deserve.”
