A Flash of Idea about Blogging

I used to get a little pissed off (or, jealous in girlish language) when I saw some cool daddies recording their babies crawling on the floor, laughing or even farting (whatever a baby does, it seems Qute..) by their cameras.

'Where was my father then? Couldn't he just sacrifice a little bit, buy himself a  may-be fancy but totally worth-it video camera to record his own cute baby crawling and farting?!', lucky you little bombardiers, especially nowadays you can use your smart phone to shoot almost every scenes of the baby, it's just unfair ok? I was even cuter when I was a baby, but instead of some precious tapes, what I can get right now is just some faded pictures.

Ok, that's just a trick to throw out a minnow to catch a whale, you really think I will be jealous of those babies?Well, maybe a little...

Then I asked myself, 'Ricky, what have you done to leave the 30-years-older-you something to laugh your ass off since you were able to take notes by your own?' This tricky question really triggered my mind to call up 'what I have done these years to record my own life'? Well, here it is:

• I have a Picasa account, which including dozen's G's of pictures.
• I have some social network accounts where I put some lame posts all the time.
• I have a Blog, yes, the one I am writing in right now, which sometimes I may forget the password...

Then I found out that, a farting baby video will be much more fun by several orders of magnitude, such a genuinely tragic sort of story.

We are nothing but creatures crawling on the earthy, trying to discover ourselves and understand the world, we are all like babies,  more or less, trying to learn things everyday, trying to crawling as much as possible in order to stand up one day. 

I cannot stand the fact that I am losing my memories and my own path of the time I am living in right now any more. So, here is my #list#(I just want to finish this blog as soon as possible, I have tons of homework, that's true),

• Blog at least once a week in the rest of my life, try hard to think about what I have done this week, what I have learnt this week, whose personality impresses me this week. etc.
• Stay away from social networks, except for marketing understanding.
• Don't let any articles stay in my Instapaper over three days, finish reading it before you forget why you saved it.
• Reading one book in one time, don't try to be a multi-task hero, you are not!!
• learn things scientifically! You know what I mean, Ricky.
• In the following year, I want to be more expert in Web Design, IOS development, Excel, that's all.
• Be more professional in an English speaking working environment, practice more in Email and phone talking slills.

TO BE CONTINUED....My next blog will be why I am transforming my reading tool from Google Reader to Flipboard, and I will cover my user experience on Prezi, my understanding of 'Business Model Canvas', my learning process of 'Be a better Email-er' and 'A better phone-talker' after that, hope I will not be overwhelming at that time.

It's Not Just Food

Imagine hundreds of millions of people discussing one #topic# on Twitter, you may say it must be a heavyweight event like, ‘London Olympic’ or ‘Syria Chaos’, well, you need not to blame yourself, even the most powerful brainstorm cannot figure out the right answer - It’s just a TV show talking about, food. The 7-episode Chinese documentary, ‘A Bite of China’, surpasses all the other TV programs aired in prime time. The hit of the ‘food documentary’ even stirred up a boom in the online shopping industry: millions of orders generated as soon as a new food material emerged in the latest episode. "Drooling mouths, wet eyes!" such comments have been identified by the majority. But…why?

Instead of focusing only on the preparation process in the kitchen, the ‘Bite’ series offers a unique insight into the geographical, cultural and historical dimensions of people’s stories about their ‘experiences’ with food. There is no dramatical story or exaggerated expression, it simply originates from the cultural life through which people who are suffering with industralized fast food realize the relationship between human and nature.

Associated with China's recent PR campaign: investing heavily to produce a national advertisement to be broadcast in Times Square, New York, you may safely draw the conclusion that there is nothing more suitable than ‘food’ to deliver the civilization continuity of a nation as the comprehension of the relationship between food and people expresses the wisdom and taste aesthetic produced by Chinese laboring people through thousands of years. So when we want to put an answer to the mystery of this ‘Bite’ of success, we may just say: Well, it’s not just food.

It's an interesting course, and get something urgent now, but will update this blog soon.

My Netgains Internship Experience

I have written several blogs or articles about my Indian life, especially those days in Netgains as an SEO analyst, in English.

But I think it is also necessary to express something in English about this experience, to let my workmates and friends know How much did I Enjoy that period of Amazing Time.

Since I started to apply for the internship abroad through AIESEC, India, to be honest, was not my priority; It was Poland and Germany where I send a lot of CVs to, and fortunately, I got two offers finally. Meanwhile, that internship form about SEO jumped into my eyes when I was wandering in the myaiesec.com.

I was quite interested about that form, cause I have known something about SEO industry, and it is quite related to my major, so I read through the full job description, and log on the company's website to have a glimpse, impressive! I have to say, this looks like a red-blooded IT company, the projects the company has done seems awesome, and the corporate culture suits most of my favors.

The only problem is , India. Can I luckily survive after the three months' indian life? (the result was quite positive,as I can tell you, now). I suppose I can, so, that's the start of the journey.

I took a serious and quite technical interview by the CEO of Netgains, Mr. Malik Sumeet. I was quite impressed  when I first heard his voice, typical American accent (Later did I know Mr. Sumeet had studied and worked in USA for several years), I was really nervous, but still, enjoyed the whole talk.

You can not imagine how Happy I was when I got the confirmation of this internship, I refused the German and Polish job and booked the ticket to Delhi soon, not long after that, I was sitting in the office of Netgains , in sector 20A(I can never forget this number, guys, I had to repeat this days after days to the auto-rickshaw driver(a popular three-wheels-car in India) to tell him where I want to go with my waving arms sometimes when he cannot understand English, still funny), Chandigarh.

I met Deepika(we had so many argues about the political differences between China and India, it is a tie, btw ,lol), Sam(my later best bro in India) , Ashish(funniest guy in India); the enthusiastic and curious designers and programmers upstairs and of course , my boss, Mr.Sumeet.

He is so different from 'my picture of Indian man', handsome;tall;strong;nice-smile---this is the first impression , smart;well-organised;hard-working;strict;efficient---this is what I learned later. I can say, I learned second-most stuff from Mr.Sumeet during the whole period, just after the Indian travel experiences.

He gave me a short introduction of my responsibility and the papers and docs I had to grasp(which is still useful now in my life), to make sure I can be in the right path, and be efficient.

In the very beginning of my internship, the greatest challenge is to grasp the new knowledge in the shortest time, thanks to the help of Mr. Sumeet and Sam and others, although there's some problems during the internship, I conquered them all, and started to work on the real project after the first month.

I don't want to give too many details about the work content, those I really want to tell you is How I Feel About This Unforgettable Journey.

1.I was really impressive how hard-working the IT people in India can be, they actually don't need to take a rest and keep efficient all the time, it totally changed my thought to Indian people.
2. I was also impressive about how awesome the India High-tech industry are nowadays, we, China, are far behind them now, they have a large number of talented people, this is the most significant difference which we have to admit.
3. They need more entertainment, maybe, Lol.

This internship in India totally changed my view to this country and to this world, it also makes me a more well-organised and tough people. Most Importantly, I have decided to work in this related industry, and this experience in India and Netgains will benefit me forever!

Thank You! Netgains! Salute!
