Events analysis and blah blah...

From Prof. Crewley taught us to think big, every class, before it starts, he usually comes in 10-15 mins early, start global events analysis. "What happens today in the wold?" from last couple weeks MA political attention to Google announcement to leave China, Professor constantly reminds us that nothing is accidental but have internal connection, only by training yourself systematically, you will seek the underneath link. It is part of learning ability and train yourself to be a good 'observer'. Any predictions are based on the data and evidence, sometimes the random events seem like random but are planned ahead of time. I have watched closely about lately China and U.S. political relationship changes. If you look back the last century, how much involvement these two countries have been. Here in Boston, the course about 'How to do business in China!" at Harvard Business School is totally full with more registered student, so did Harvard Kennedy School, whose "political economy transition in China" class, not many Chinese student there but full of students from different countries. I asked myself if I have followed Chinese news, economic and political development like this close? you really need to catch up, Charlotte!

you think globally, you act globally.

Sitting in the classroom, break time classmates will update you with many gadgets in the new market. This morning classmates have talking a lot about iSlate, iTablet, making you can not wait to see the real product and test it. One of classmate teaches a design class for MIT undergraduate, seriously, if you ask what computer to buy, he does a better job than Apple sales person to tell you everything about Mac. Some of us got sort of interested to check out his class.

I do not know how many Apple products I will continually buy. The new Lenovo T400 I got in Jan. for school has giving me more problems than I could expect, constant memory freeze have not help my study but delay. I guess I soon will convert myself totally from PC to MAC.
