    Today I just followed the advice from Tal Ben Shahar, a lecturer teaching positive psychology in Harvard University, doing physical exercise. I went to Physical, a famous gym in Shanghai, asked an consultant gave me some personal direction, did the body analysis. The coach told me I have 5.1kg fat more than I should have and 1.6kg muscle less than the standard. So you can imagine how couch potato style I am. Finally I downloaded Nike Training and installed it on my iPhone. I picked up the most easy exercise and did it. After 10 minutes, I got chest distress and cold sweat, felt nausea and vomiting. My face was whiten. Mother was scared cause I faint twice before. She thought I was dying. Now, a have to find a less stress exercise, which I can afford now and suit for my flat foot. I wish flat foot is curable.

    PS, after you arrive shanghai, you can say "i've arrived shanghai for two weeks"

    我来上海两星期了

     

    "来" is only used when you already in shanghai.

    我5月19日到上海,将会待两星期,太好了!

    来 come 去 go

    but chinese don't say "will come to", they just say "will go" 去, "will arrive" 到

    so you can say "我5月19日去上海" 或者 "我5月15日到上海", it depends on the meaning you wanna express.


    nancy wrote "呆两星期", i choose "待两星期"

    they pronounce the same, dai.

    however, in writting, you should use "待",

    "呆" is only be used in unformal writting or spoken, like online chatting.

    self-improvement books

    I never read any books like How to be successful or How to build a good relationship before. In my view, the authors of these books were unbelievably arrogant. They are trying to teach others how you should live, what you should do. 
    However, after suffering a two-year-long depression, I started to re-evaluate my view about these books. Suddenly, I found that I was the arrogant one who thought that no one has the right or capability to give life suggestions. Maybe no one is qualified enough to do this kind of job, but it doesn't matter. Everyone can share his or her experience, readers will find the value in it. I still haven't read any self-improvement books, i'm watching positive psychology lecture video instead.

    if it's related to one's profession, career, job, just use 专长, otherwise, use 特长, that's the only difference.

    取决于什么是迷信? 如果是指相信未经证实的事情,那么上帝也是迷信,但你也可以视之为信仰 如果是指相信已经被证明是错误的事情,那是因为科普不足,媒体有时只是批评民众相信这事情是错误的荒谬的,但没有告诉人们什么是正确的,所以无法树立新的观点去取代旧的。 如果明知无关仍然沿袭传统,那是风俗,只是维持旧习惯,旧仪式而已。
