Maybe this article helps, not sure.

Baccalaureate address to Class of 2008 (excerpt)
President Faust, Harvard, (full text on...)

I think you are worried because you want your lives not just to be conventionally successful, but to be meaningful, and you are not sure how those two goals fit together. You are not sure if a generous starting salary at a prestigious brand name organization together with the promise of future wealth will feed your soul.

....I think there is a second reason you are worried — related to but not entirely distinct from the first. You want to be happy. You have flocked to courses like “Positive Psychology” — Psych 1504 — and “The Science of Happiness” in search of tips. But how do we find happiness? I can offer one encouraging answer: get older. Turns out that survey data show older people — that is, my age — report themselves happier than do younger ones. But perhaps you don’t want to wait.

....you won’t know till you try. But if you don’t try to do what you love — whether it is painting or biology or finance; if you don’t pursue what you think will be most meaningful, you will regret it. Life is long. There is always time for Plan B. But don’t begin with it.

....But what is ultimately most important here is that you are asking the question — not just of me but of yourselves. You are choosing roads and at the same time challenging your own choices. You have a notion of what you want your life to be and you are not sure the road you are taking is going to get you there. This is the best news. And it is also, I hope, to some degree, our fault. Noticing your life, reflecting upon it, considering how you can live it well, wondering how you can do good....

昨天去参观了GE位于Olympic Green里的GE Imagination Center，和其他一些sponsor的展厅，以及最令人激动的鸟巢和水立方！相机里的照片还没有整理好，就先发两张手机里的图片吧。

Zi house
The most ancient family name of Wang was originated from the surname Zi. The Chinese legend mentions that near the end of Shang Dynasty, King Zhou of Shang's uncle Bi Gan, Qi Zi and Wei Zi were called "The Three Kindhearted of Shang". King Zhou was violent in his rule, and Bi Gan repeatedly remonstrated to the king regarding his behavior. The king refused his comments, and killed Bi Gan instead. Bi's descendants used "Wang" as their surname as they are descendants of a prince, and was known as the "The Bi clan of Wang family". The Zi clan existed around 3100 years through Qin Dynasty to Tang Dynasty, and until today. The Zi clan of Wang lived predominantly in Henan during these times, and developed into the famous Wang Family of Ji prefecture.

Ji house
More families of Wang were originated from the royal family of Zhou Dynasty. The original surname of the royal family of Zhou Dynasty was Ji. However, many of them have separated out of the family due to the loss of power amd land. Because of they once belonged to the royal family, they used "Wang" as their surname. This family of Wang traced its ancestry to Wang Ziqiao.

According to the classical records, after King Wu of Zhou defeated the Shang Dynasty, he chose the capital at the city of Gao. This was known in history as the Western Zhou Dynasty. During the reign of the 21th king, King Ling of Zhou (571 - 545 BCE), the capital was in Chen Zhou, which is the present day Luoyang, Henan. The son of King Ling, crown prince Jin (also known as Prince Jin or Prince Qiao), was reduced to civilian status due to his remonstration to the king. His son Zong Jin remains to be a Situ in the palace, and because of the people at the time recognized him as the descendant of the royal family, they called his family the "Wang family". From this moment on, this clan used "Wang" as their surname. When the 8th generation of the Ji clan of Wang Wang Cuo became a general in the State of Wei, the clan finally regained its status. In the early period of Qin Dynasty, this clan was active in areas of Luoyang, Henan. Between the end of Qin Dynasty and the beginning of Han Dynasty, Wang Yuan and Wang Wei, sons of the Marquis of Wuchen Wang Li, moved to Langye, Shandong and Taiyuan, Shanxi. Since then, they have developed into the most famous Wang family of Langye and Taiyuan, the biggest group in the surname of Wang. The Ji clan of Wang existed around 2600 years. In China, 90% of the Wang family that have their family tree originated from the Ji clan of Wang.

FOUR-leaf clover is an uncommon variation of the common three-leaf clover. According to superstition, such leaves bring good luck to their finders... Yesterday, I didnot only find four-leaf clovers (Yes, I mean clovers.), but also a FIVE-leaf clover（The one on the left）. Amazing, isn't it?

According to legend, each leaflet represents something: the first is for hope, the second is for faith, the third is for love, and the fourth is for luck. So what is the fifth for?

感谢你们陪我度过这四分之一个世纪。

Watched the BBC World News this morning, something about the Beijing Olympics torch in London. News has never been fair-minded. Protest exists, but surely, it will not be the principal part of the travel. If western media go on broadcasting news in this way, I will be wondering what attitude we should have towards the 2012 London Olympics. [Anti-BBC on the net]

... this superior financial performance has to be sustainable, meaning that not only should it be supported by a solid leadership position, but that position should be long-lasting, unassailable, and endure the inevitable changes that environment will generate. This calls for flexible adaptation to new circumstances, and a will and ability to transform the organization continuously. We should look forward, not backward. We should never be complacent. We should experiment and engage in a continuous learning process that embraces rather than reject change.

考完试了，终于有时间把之前的照片都拿出来Show一下。在九寨沟拍的。看着像不像假的？

曾几何时，在腰间挂一个Sony CD Walkman是件很令人羡慕的事。但自从MP3播放器诞生以来，我的CD Player就显得有些鸡肋了。不过我还是很喜欢买CD，听从网上Down下来的MP3从觉得少写什么，因为边听歌边看精致的CD插页是件很享受的事情——健美的插图和歌词让CD里的音乐像一个完整的故事。

又有不少的CD唱片，又不想错过网络上的MP3，Yong-Seong Kim设计的这款Dual Music Player，确实让我眼前一亮。临睡前在网上看到这款被称作DMP的这款音乐播放器，可以播放CD碟片也可以当作MP3播放器使用。便携的尺寸作为MP3使用时可以挂脖子上，别在腰间或是放进口袋里。把它掰开后，就变成了一个超酷的CD播放机。感觉不错，还满想拥有的。

不过这样把旋转的碟片暴露在外面会不会……有点“电锯惊魂”的感觉。    『时光』
