After senior high school, I have not spent more than two years in one place or institute. Two years in the first university, one year in another to prepare for transfer exam, two years in the one from which I graduated, and one year in Canada as an exchange student during my last year in the university. Then I spent one year and eight months in military service, followed by one year for my first full-time job, one year for a part-time job, less than one and half years in the Netherlands, 5 months for my second full-time job, two years in Boston, and nine months in a consulting firm. Now it has been three months since my current job started.Read More »Changes

My father is soon to be 82 years old. He is still working everyday, from day to night. He runs his own store for more than 50 years. It is fair to say that he has spent all his life in his store. Now all his children can make their own money, but he still insists to work everyday. My mother wants him to retire, so she doesn’t need to worry about his health or his business. I can’t understand why my father enjoys working so much. Does he love money much more than his family?Read More »Father

Due to some reason, I’ve not been allowed to celebrate my birthday since high school. So birthday doesn’t mean much to me, and celebration is not interesting to me either. Sometimes my friends would still have dinner with me on my birthday or send me wishes. One friend sends me birthday presents every year. Perhaps that is the meaning of celebration of birthday: reminding you of the love you have from your friends and family.Read More »Another birthday alone

This is the first article of my brand new blog. I’ve had several blogs in various websites, but now I decide to have one on my own website. I’ve also tried many blog modules, but they seem too complicated to me. After I got an iMac in May, I think it is good enough to use iWeb to create web pages and maintain the website. We will see how it goes.Read More »The beginning

I finally can start preparing for my forthcoming study. When I look for the textbooks, I find out that mathematics plays a very important role in economics study. More precisely, we need mathematics to interpret the economic phenomenons. Economy looks like a mathematic game. It keeps creating new problems with the growth of population and the development of technology. Once we can find a mathematic method, we can at least “control” the problems. Indeed, “control”, but not “solve”.

After I came back from the Netherlands, I have totally different feeling about people in Taiwan. When I see babies and children, I hope they can live happily without any hurt or pain. I hope all of them can grow up in a beautiful place like a wonderland. When I see the seniors, I hope they can also live happily with no worry. I hope they have no regret for living in Taiwan for all of their lives. When I see couples, I hope they can love Taiwan as much as they love each other. I hope they can live happily together forever in Taiwan. When I see the young, I hope they can find their dreams in Taiwan. I hope they keep a hope for Taiwan’s future as well as their own futures.

After yesterday’s interview, I received my passport with the F-1 visa tonight. The next job for me is to make a loan from the bank. I already asked the bank, and it’s confirmed that I’m qualified to apply for the government’s loan.

I finally feel that studying is indeed much more difficult than working, especially you have the worst teachers in the world! I’m working on my final report for my master degreee. I hope to finalize it within this week so that I can start talking with those bastards in the poor school in the Netherlands.

I finally talked to my boss about my future plan on Wednesday. He was a little but surprised and thought it was because I felt bored about my work. I told him I enjoy this job very much. The colleagues are all very friendly, and my boss is particularly kind and nice. I am really very lucky to meet those friends in my life.
