day 8 listen skill This is my note from TED by Celeste Headlee. She shared 10 advices about how to be a good listener, and how to make an good conversation. I think I will benfit from her talk. Own to the technology, information is much easier to pass on, we could express ourselves or complete a discuss without face to face, but in my expierence, when I togather with several friends, and we have a pleasant conversation or spent a good time, the delight that I feel will last 3 days. And it's defenitly influenced my life. So, yes, I do think it's very importatn to know how to conversation. Here is the 10 tips she gave: 1. don't multitask,be present. 2.don't pontificate, assuming you will learn something not predicting. "true listening require a setting aside of oneself"""sensing that acceptance, the speaker will become less and less vulnerable,and more and more likely to open up inner ressesess of his or her mind to the listener."--Scott Peck 3.ues open-ended questions. 4.go with the flow. 6.If you don't know, say that you don't know.Talk should not be cheap. 7.don't equate your experience with theirs. 8.Try not to repeat yourself. 9.Stay out of weeds. 10.Be brief. "If your mouth is open, you are not learning."--Budda "Most of us don't listen with the intent to understand.we listen with the intend to reply."--Steven covey No 2 is the rules that really inspiring one. If you think you are the important one , your thinking is important than others, then a real conversation will never happen.

day 8 Chinese Academy of Sciences has published an investigation result about the food waste in China. Accroding to the investigation from 2013 to 2015, the amount of food waste is ,between 17,000,000tons(17 million tons) to 18 million tons. This is a year ration for nearly 30,000,000(30 million) to 50 million people. Yesterday, I saw another news about food. On a wedding in Shandong province, the groom and bride held a simple ceremony and all the guests shared one dish. In Chinese tradition, the hosts show their welcome by a table of dishes, it's very embarrass if all the dishes is empty, so there are alway many food been left. When the days are difficult, it's understandable that people make as many dished as possible to celebrate an improtant day, such as a wedding, funeral or festivel. At that time, everyone eat togather with joy and greatful. But now, we live at a age of plenty, we almost can eat everything we want, at any time. So I think we should stop this tradition, and start to make a simple tradition.It will remind us, to keep the joy and greatful to the things we have.

day 7 web fiction Last week, I spent a whole afternoon and a night watching a serial TV named "Lang Ya Bang", which is adapted from a web fiction. This TV has an english version called "Nirvana in fire". The main story is about a talented young man was battled for his country as a major marshal, but the emperor was afraid of the power of this army, and decided to let this army vanish compeletely -- He used a very crucial way to destroy this army just after they finish a big battle. But this young man still alive, with a different name and apperance, and he became an famous advisor of a prince. I don't want to be a spoiler, so I'm not going to talk more about the story.If you interesting,please go and find this TV, I believe it's hardly to let you down. Different from traditional TV, there are more and more qulified TV is adapted from web fiction or become online drama. In the past, the scriptwriter is a professional work, but now, everyone could be an novelist, a writer or a director. The writer of "Lang Ya Bang" is work in an real estate company, living an ordinary life and Lang Ya Bang is her first novel.

day 4 AI Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence exhibited by machines.--by Wiki. It's amazing that Tesla use many robots to assembly cars, most of the work in their factory is done by machine. so I do think artificial intelligence could be very helpful. But I'm not a crazy fan of AI, it has to have boundaries when applied in sociaty. No matter how intelligence itself, it's not a man, so people who invented the AI should take full responsible for it. It must be invented by good, kind,humanism purpose, such as help disabled people, doing the dangerouse task. Also, there are a lot of work and activities that people cannot be instead. Talk to your family, painting,singing,crafting,meditation, etc. In a short ,we have soul, we can feel, we must live like a human.If we only sitting at desk and dealing information all the time, then we just like a machine.

day 3 home I missing my home, my parents. Today is my father's lunar birthday. I made a call just know. My parents have a little farm, they plant mushrooms.They send me a box of fresh mushrooms last month. It's big and delicious. Now, they just have supper with workers, and my dad will take care of furnace all night for the large canopy. It's an important preparation step for next year's mushrooms. They must work hard today. I feel a little sad because I live so far away, and I could not give a hand. At the same time, I admire them so much that they are so strong and brave to run this small business. Day, happy birthday and take care of yourself! I wish you all the best!

day 2 a vegan last Tuesday, I have lunch with two collegues. It's very normal that everyone eat some meat in daily diet. But one of them said to me:"hey, today I only eat vegetables, the same to you!" I asked him:"why?" He said he just don't want eat meat anymore. I am not surprised at all. Because I have the same feeling when I became a vegan five years ago. It's very natural, and there was a voice in my mind , and I made a decision that I am not going to eat meat any more. Well, that's another story. Was he has the same reason with me? I don't know.What i know is his elder brother, only in his forty, died from cancer last year.Then he start to pay attention on healthy diet.He start to realize what we eat maybe harmful to our body. I don't think be a vegan is the best choice to everyone, and i never try to pursuade others to be a vegan. Most of time , i felll i make others embrrased when we eat togather. We made choice by ourselves, not by others, no matter what kinds of choice, when it come, it comes, don't force yourself to make choice, it will bring you pain, and you could not keep it in a long time.
