七年

大约七年之前,选择到另外一个国家学习,工作。

一晃眼已经七年了。

七年之间,做了很多事情,遇到了很多人,也看过了许多风景。

不知道自己的人生,在命运的摆弄下,会终究停留到哪里,但是自己感到在一个地方停留了太久,想要去到别的地方去了。

爱情故事总非一帆风顺

因为结婚的事情,和男朋友来来回回争执了许多次。终于日趋平静也大致定下了结婚的意向,可是却因为他在吵架的期间和别的女生在语言之间暧昧不清而心灰意冷。心里知道自己还是想结婚,还是想和他继续下去,可是心里却不由自己地在想起这件事情的时候下沉一下。

和他开诚布公地聊了,和当事女生也聊了,聊的却没有那么开诚布公,混杂着逃脱责任的谎言,以及躲躲闪闪的真相。故事的真相一点一点的剥开,反而不知道知道真相的自己是更坦然一点还是更疼痛一点。也不知道还要不要继续追究下去,更不知道自己为什么要追究这些事情。

对于爱情这件事还是看的太神圣,由不得一点沙粒。

可是仔细回顾起来,在争吵期间对彼此说了很多伤人的话,断断续续的吵闹和和好中,也出门旅行了很久,对于他来说也一定非常不易,太多的爱也是某一种负担。在感情颠婆不平的时候,抬头瞄了一眼其它的选择,最后还是没有走那个方向,没有在身体和心灵上的出轨,反而死心塌地的回到我身边了,让他看一看花花世界,再回到你的身边,这大概也是作为男人的一种经历吧。

在经历了吵架,分手,和好的过程中,我们反而不断发现对方对于自己的意义,知道自己更想要成为的那个人,也知道自己更想要选择的那个人。我们学会了宽容和理解,也学会了彼此珍惜和保护,对我来说,更重要的是不轻言放弃。从这个角度来看,也许这是乌云上的金边线吧。

爱情是两个人携手同行的故事,也许不一定总是一帆风顺,但是如果我们能够在彼此磨合的过程中知道怎么样找回对方,再共同成长,也算是把砂石,磨成了珍珠。

平凡之路

偶尔刷朋友圈看到好友发了朴树的新歌,为韩寒的新电影作曲。这些有才华的人类时不时惺惺相惜一下于是世界变的更加精彩。

初中开始我们就窝在宿舍里,走在操场上听朴树,讨论着朴树和周迅的八卦恋情。那时候的我们分享着彼此之间关于爱情友情的秘密,那时的我们的心里,在朴树的音乐里分享的泪水笑声和青春的故事,那些都是像天一样大的事情。那么重要。

后来的我们越走越远,以为自己的脚下踩着梦想之翼,带着勇往直前的不屈决心,翻山越岭,远渡重洋。我还记着,我知道你们也记着,我很想念年轻的自己,我很想念年轻的你们。

http://tv.sohu.com/20140716/n402319712.shtml

曾经喜欢过的人,喜欢过的事情,慢慢地都因为时间距离而走的越来越远。

现在生活在另外一个国家,有时候会想想,如果当时选择做不同的事情,走不一样的路,现在会有什么样的心境。总也看不到的你们,一个人开车的日子,身边来来去去的人心,又有哪些是不可放弃的呢?

现在的我只能不动声色地,想念你。

注定要飞翔的我们。注定走在不平凡的路上。

一日二三记

在下班的路上顺道去了超市,买了牛肉饼,微辣口味的奶酪,猪腿肉和汉堡面包回家,家里还有一袋甜薯条,西红柿和生菜,大概可以做一顿美食。虽然未曾尝试过,但是美帝的冷冻食物总是列出了简易的烹饪方法,再差也不会差到哪里去的。

果然味道可口。

和弟弟坐在户外的草坪上狼吞虎咽地干掉了一大个汉堡,池塘里不时有鱼跳起来,可惜只能捕捉到涟漪的水影,却无法看到飞跃的鱼儿。

回屋的瞬间忽然想到今天医生的留言,还需要找个时间去做那个未完成的检查。

Driving Safely – Five Safety Tips Most Forgotten (seventh post)

Chinese stop sign showing character 停

Image via Wikipedia

我无法相信肯特居然在四月又下雪了,教授今天背对窗户说,我拒绝看外面,我不相信外面下雪了。大雪天气让开车变得困难,事故也更容易发生。考虑到最近朋友和自己遭遇的或大或小的交通事故,考虑到交通工具会变成一个怎样危险的机器,我觉得应该给在美开车的同学们写一点安全小建议了。

I cannot believe that snow comes to Kent again in April. With his back towards the window, my professor complained that he refused to look outside for he was not willing to accept the truth that the snow came back. Snow makes driving harder and accidents happen more easily. Considering the accidents my friends and I suffered from recently, and how dangerous machine a vehicle could become, I think intently that it is time to give some driving safety tips to friends who drive.

1. 注意新的交通规则。美国和中国有许多不一样的交通规则,比如Stop sign。中国没有stop sign, 我前几日刚听了一个朋友开车不经过stop sign而罚了$140。Stop sign设在路口是出于安全考虑,取代了信号灯的作用。

1. Pay attention to new traffic rules. There exist so many differences between Chinese and American traffic

regulations. For instance, we can see stop signs everywhere here while cannot see any in China. I just heard about that one of my friends from China got a $140 fine for no stopping before a stop sign. A stop sign is set up for the safety of an

Stop Sign

intersection. Be sure you will stop and check the coming cars before you pass the intersection.

2. 当你驾驶的时候,把地图和GPS放在随手处。如果你迷路了,停在路边重新确定方向。在驾驶过程中找路很容易出事故。同理,手机也容易使人分心,应该尽量避免在开车时使用。有时候GPS的路线标注不清,如果你走错了,就错着走下去,不要试图在高速公路上忽然改变你的路线,一不留神会造成很大麻烦。

2. When you are traveling, be sure to keep your maps and GPS ready and easy to grab. If you are lost, pull over to the side of the road before read a map or use the GPS to get a better direction.  It is very easy to cause an accident when you are driving while checking direction. As well, cell phone, as another distracting objective, should avoid from being used while driving. Sometimes GPS could be tricky. If you are going to a wrong way on freeway, do not try to make any sudden turn during driving at a high speed.

3. 和其他车至少保持一个车的车距。保持距离永远是好事儿,当前面的车要急刹车的时候,留给你时间去反应。当有车试图超车的时候,不要想着跟人家比速度。

3. Leave at least a car’s length of space between your car and the other cars. It is always good to keep a safe

Stay away from that car! From Sparklette.net

distance. When the car in front of you has an emergency brake, you need time to react. When there is a car try to surpass you, let them go, and Do Not try to race with other cars.

4. 解冻你的窗户,从陷车中解救自己。这是雪地最重要也最容易被忽视的注意事项。在开车之前打开解冻器和空调来消除车窗上的冻霜和车内的雾气。这些步骤能保证你在雪地里有着清晰的视线。此外,当你陷到泥淖或者雪堆里的时候,用雪橇把自己铲出来。盲目地旋转轮胎只会让你越陷越深。在轮胎下放橡胶制品可以加大摩擦力,更容易把车开出来。

4. Defrost Your Windows/Rescue your car from stuck. This is the most important tip for a snowy day and also the most easily to be forgotten. Make sure to turn on defroster and fan to help you defrost your windshield and warm up the interior of your car before you leave for drive way. These processes will keep your view clear during driving. When you are stuck in mud or snow, dig yourself out with a snow shovel. Spinning wheels can do nothing but make it worse. Placing some rubber material underneath will help drive out with ease.

5. 定期检查车辆。检查玻璃水,刹车,轮胎,当你的雨刷磨损之后要及时更换。

5. Take your car  for regular check. Check the wiper fluid, brakes, and tires, and be sure to replace wiper blades when they become worn-out.

How to sell yourself in your resume? (sixth post) 如何在你的简历中推销自己?

三月,每年都是申请暑期和秋季实习的热季,这个时候各个大公司的HR都要忙翻了天,开始接收来自各地的不同简历,那么,如何才能从众多的简历中让自己脱颖而出呢?今天,就让小咔同学从PR的角度来跟大家分享一下Resume的小Tips吧。

From Resumebear.com

March is always the busy season of internship application for summer and fall. HR managers receive snowflakes-like resumes from all over the country. How would you like yours stand out from others? Today, Color is going to share some tips of resume from PR perspective.

为什么要实习?想要一张白纸简历的人可以直接跳过本文了。中美教育的最大不同之一就是美国一直在强调一个人的实际能力,而不是考试能力。一个人的品质,性格,领导力和组织能力往往更能体现一个人的价值。而如何才能让别人看到你的实际价值呢?用一次接一次的实习经历打开这扇门吧。除此之外,对于自身来讲,实习是让你看到自我的一个重要机会。不同工作场所的实习让自己看到自己对不同环境的适应程度,从而了解自己将来想要发展的方向。

Why we need internship? A person who would like a blank paper as resume could skip the following part, you don’t have to waste time on this. Other fellows, the experience of studying abroad elaborates to us that one of the huge differences between educational theory of China and US is the latter focuses more on a person’s actual ability. Hence, you would better show yourself from your various working experience. Besides that, internship is a good chance for you to review yourself. Different experiences in different workplace review your adaptive situation therefore find out what kind of environment fit you best.

最优秀的促销是自我促销。来自中国这样一个注重谦虚文化的国邦,我们总觉得自大有罪。但是美国的文化会要求你偶尔适当地自大一些,才能更好的展示自我。那么如何才能把自己的简历整理成一个完整的包裹然后递送给你的申请公司呢?

The best promotion in the marketing world is self-promotion. Coming from a country like China, we always treat modest as one of the best qualities that people can have. Nevertheless, competitive American culture requires you to be more confidence to show yourself. So, how can we systemize our resumes, package us as ideal products and deliver ourselves to HR managers?

  1. 列出你的背景,教育,实习,研究,活动,工作。然后看看哪些是你的雇主所希望看到的。
  2. 头脑风暴找出自己的长处和技能。不但要让潜在雇主看到你能做什么,而且要看到你做的有多好,为什么这个很重要,你能给公司带来怎样的成绩。
  3. 说出来和卖出去。你不但想要雇主看到你在说“快看我”,更要让他们看到“看看我能为你做什么!”
  4. 运用一些具体的细节来突出你的能力
  5. 不要只说你的经历,也表现你的其他特点,比如你重要的品质,你的责任心,公司不是单单在招一个工作机器,而是在招一个co-worker.
  6. 不要一直强调第一人称,大家都知道这是你的简历。
  • list your background. your education, internship, research experience, campus activity and work. check which of them will be seen as benefit from employer.
  • Brain Storm your advantage and skills, not just let your potential employer see what you can do, but also how well you have done, why it matters, and what kind of achievement you can bring for the company.
  • Telling it and Selling it. You are not just want to say “Look at me”, but also want to let them see “what I can do for you”
  • Using some specific details to show your ability. Some numbers, outcomes and achievement will impress your HR manager and make your resume looks reliable.
  • Don’t just list facts of your life, show other characters of yourself, like your personality, your important quality and your responsibility. Remember, company is not just looking for a working machine, they are looking for a co-worker here.
  • Don’t always emphasized that the first person, everyone knows that this is your resume.

应该选择怎样的格式呢?

What kind of FORMAT will be helpful for you resume?

根据dummies.com的分类,在Resume的写作中,一共有以下几种格式:

逆序式:从最近的工作和教育经验写起。

功能式:列出你能做的而不是你曾经做过的。

综合式:以上两种方式的综合。

According to the classification of dummies. Com, in resume writing, there are a total of the following formats:

  • Reverse chronological: Lists all employment and education, beginning with the most recent and working backward.
  • Functional (skills-based): Shows what you can do instead of relaying what you’ve done and where you did it.
  • Hybrid (combination): A combination of both the reverse chronological and functional resume formats.
  •

    Groundswell technologies

    网络是集合公共意见的地方,什么地方能够聚集公共意见,大家已经众所周知了,我认为并没有必要再做赘诉,但是以防万一,在此还是对于网络营销和意见整合的领域做一个简单的介绍。网络营销的阵地包括博客,维基,书签网站,社交网络,论坛,评分系统,评论系统,RSS订阅以及一些常见的窗口小工具。

    Internet is place gathering public opinions. It is well-known that in which place people share ideas and opinions. Here, I will simply introduce the groundswell technologies. Introduced by the authors of Groundswell, “Groundswell technologies” includes such as blogs, wikis, bookmarking and tagging sites, social networks, forums, ratings, reviews, RSS feeds, and widgets.

    2. 用户分类

    Social Technographic Profile

    Charlene Li和Josh Bernoff 将网络用户的分类法则介绍给我们,通过甄别你的目标市场里不同的用户特性,以此来帮助任何组织选择正确的营销团体和方式。

    用户分类包括Creators, Critics, Collectors, Joiners, Spectators, Inactives, 以及近年出现的conversationlists.

    • Creators致力于创造新的在线内容,他们经常性地使用博客,维护一个独立网站,或者上传音频视频。
    • Critics 对他人的在线内容进行回应,譬如回帖,使用评分系统,或者编辑维基词条。
    • Collectors 使用收藏夹和书签,在线订阅收集和整合信息,从侧面讲,是对Creators和Critics的肯定。
    • Joiners 使用社交网站维持一个基本的存在状态。
    • Spectators 是只读不写的在线受众,就是我们常说的潜水。潜水者是一个巨大的人群,在米国的在线受众中占据了将近二分之一的比重。
    • Inactives 不被网络营销所影响的人群
    • Conversationlists 在线进行信息交流的用户,譬如QQ群。

    作为组织来讲,在进行市场营销策划的过程中,首当其冲应该找到在你的用户人群中,什么特性的用户占了什么样的比重,你的目标受众都在使用怎样的软件和网站,从而决定用什么样的网络营销工具来进行宣传和意见整合。此外,如何激发inactives和Spectators也是一个可以有很大发挥空间的话题。

    Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff introduce an interesting data tool called the “Social Technographic Profile”. By showing how you can use this metric to understand what percentage of online audience in your market, it will be hopefully helpful for organization to choose the right group and right method to conduct groundswell.

    The social technograohic profile includes Creators, Critics, Collectors, Joiners, Spectators, Inactives, and of course the newly added, conversationlists.

    • Creators dedicate on producing new online content, they post new articles on blog, maintain an independent website, or upload video and podcast.
    • Critics react to others online content, like post a comments, use the grading and reviewing system, or editing wiki.
    • Collectors use bookmarking and RSS feeder to collect and integrate information. To some point, they complete the works of creators and critics.
    • Joiners use social network website and maintain basic profiles.
    • Spectators, all they do is merely reading. They do not react or create to the online content. The specific number of percentage of spectators among US online audience is 48%, almost half audience remains a spectators statue.
    • Inactives, they are non-participating for online conversations.
    • Conversationlists, people share idea and information with online chatting. Like QQ group.

    The real value for the organization to use this classification is to help you locating your audience’s characters in your target market, find out what they are using now, and therefore will help make decision on what kind of online promoting tools to conduct groundswell and public opinions monitoring. Besides, how to active inactives and spectators is another topic we could go deeper.

    3. 确定网络营销的目标

    Establish your objective of groundswell

    网络营销不是打酱油,确立目标是关键一步。

    Groundswell一书提出了五种目标:

    第一,了解受众需求。知道你的受众的活跃区域是那里,通过不同在线网站和软件的意见整合,了解你的目标受众,现在需要什么,关注什么,并且据此发现自身问题,调整产品改善服务。

    第二,进行受众沟通。通过网络营销的工具,我们可以参与到受众的讨论中来,与受众的直接沟通往往会对组织的形象有直接的影响作用。

    第三,激发受众兴趣。如果已经建立起一定的忠诚度,那么就鼓励和促进你的忠实粉丝进行在线意见表达。比起广告效果,人们更倾向于朋友推荐,这是不争的事实,没有任何广告对你的影响效果能比得上身边朋友的一句推荐。

    第四,促进受众群体形成。受众是具有粘合性的,他们会自觉的组成小团体,而你要做的就是保持这种团体的粘合性,并且不断扩大。

    第五,促进自身发展。当有一天你的新产品是由受众所决定的,那你就达到了网络营销的终极目标。并不是你的新产品要得到受众的认可,而是受众的呼声决定了你的推陈出新。这是五种网络营销目标中最难达成的一个,让你的用户参与到组织结构的决策中来,取其Idea为我所用,才是groundswell最理想的状态。

    需要注意的是,五个目标并非递进关系,而是基本处于一个平行状态,你的网络营销策略可能或多或少地取得了某些成就,但是并不代表你已经成功地达到了上一级的目标。

    Online marketing needs walk your talk, you need to establish your goal first to help you achieve it.

    There are 5 goals mentioned by the book Groundswell.

    1. Listening: First you need to know where is your targeted audience group, what kind of tools and websites they are using, what’s they opinion. By integrating public opinion, understand what they need and focus for now, and find wealthy ideas that can help you improve your products and enhance your services.
    2. Talking: By using the groundswell technologies, we could have the chance to join the conversation. The direct communication with audience will have direct impact on organization’s image.
    3. Energizing: If you already build a loyal audience base, then find a way to enable and encourage your audience to express online. Comparing with ad, people tend to accept suggestions from friends. Word of mouth recommendations and advice from your audiences can go a lot further than anything you do on your own.
    4. Supporting: Adhesiveness is building audience group. People naturally have the tendency to gather together when they have something in common. What we need to do it to maintain and improve this group.
    5. Embracing: When one day, your audience is helping you with products, you are achieving the final goal of groundswell. It is not like you need reorganization from your audience, but what you did is to meet the demand from your audience. This is probably the hardest goal among total five. Find ways to use the groundswell to involve your customers in your decision-making processes, and implement their best ideas as quickly as you can.

    One thing needs to pay attention is comparing to going forward one by one, the above five goals are more likely parallel. The achievement your online strategy accomplished for now does not necessarily mean your accomplishment to one or two goals.
