The reasons why some people are excellent while I’m not…

​I’m persistent, I’m determined and I’m diligent. That’s how I define myself. So when the result turns out not to be satisfying, I always think why I always can’t do it though I’ve burst my gut to do? That’s unfair. While still holding the belief that I am the one forgotten by god, I tried to have a closer look to excellent people I know. Perhaps, just since then I feel a shame about how I view myself and stop that childish complaints.

Efficiency and Concentration

Let’s start with an example as we both are going to search some references online for our case analysis. We have the same searching engine and start at the same time.

what we’ve got are the exact same results. And what’s happening following is gonna be different. What she focus on is just this…

and it took her maybe 10 minutes to finish what she wants. While what I was focusing was first this,of course, 

then go for this one and later,

the scale is going to expand even more. Then half an hour later, I end up with sort of like, what I’m doing? I totally forgot what I wanted to do initially and even what’s the things I am doing now for. 

The result is she not only got the references and maybe had already finished part of her work, while I still remain the same or maybe, even worse, I wasted more than 30 minutes to do nothing.

Persistence

I’m gonna tell another story and you’ll see some qualifications I said, may not be true. I’m not a night person, staying up late would be a torture to me. Once I stayed up till 2 am to do a project and got up at 8 am next morning, waking up with a great sense of achievement, “I went to bed at 2 and I still get up so early to work! See? How hard working I am!” It was just not long after that when I heard the conversation between two top students of our department by chance, feeling like the pride at that moment is like a slap on my face, “You wanna some coffee? Three whole nights in a row would strain out of you…”

“Not that bad, and there are still something need to work on.”

Expectations for result

I don’t know about you but for myself, to things I’ve spent plenty of time on, (even it’s just I assume that I have put my heart on, whiout comparing with people working even much harder) I tend to have a really high expectations of the result. However, after talking with people I view as really successful in many aspects, it turned out the results are usually not the standards for them to consider the effect of their work.

Here comes the difference of how we view expectations, or precisely, we both have high expectations, just in different phases. For me apparently, I focus on the result even I know some details during my work were not so perfect, but I think I took time to do it, I deserve it. Conversely, successful ones always emphasis on details at each stage and they think all of they’ve done will bring out the results corresponding to their efforts.

Now, I need to review the three elements I mentioned to describe myself, and just want to say, stop railing, pull up socks and find something to do!

효율을 어떻게 진급할 수 있어요?

지금의 사람들이 갈수록 바쁘나 되겠습니다. 왜냐하면? 물론 시대는 너무 바른 진보했어서 그래요. 일이 도 더 복잡하겠습니다 하지만 더 중요한것 사람들이 일하는때 아무도 초점이 없이 그냥 어느거도 조금만 만들어 해습니까 그러나 잘하는것 하나도 없습니다.
이거 바로 여기 우리 얘기하려고는 “효율” 이다. 할 일이 많은데 어디에서나 부터해야지 잘 모르겠어요 그냥 빨리 끝나려고 싶어요 마지막으로 일을 끝나할 수 있지만 결국이 좋지 않습니다.
그러면 어떻게 일하는 효율을 높이고 수 있니?
처째 자신에게 “할야돼는 일이중에 체일 중요한것 뭐안은지?” 물어봐요 이것도 알 수 없으면 아무것도 하기 시작하지마세요
둘째 초점을 알았어후에 다른것 잠시 생각하지마세요 그냥 그 초점를 집중하게 얼마나 힘들어해도 열심히하고 완전히 끝나처까지 포기하지마십시오.
이렇게면 체일 중요한것도 완성할 수 있게면 더이상 걱정하는 필요가 없으게지요? 그리고도 자신이도 있고 다른것도 더 쉬워 될 수 있게 이것도 왜 어떤 사람들이 보기 맨날도 아주 바쁘건데 하지만 그들의 발현이 별로 반대로 다른 사람들은 언제나 보기면 도 잘 눌 수 있는데 아니면 항상 쉴 수 있고 그런데 그들의 결국은 정말 잘하는데 의심을 하지말고요 반드시 뭐가 좋은 방법이 있게죠 그래서 이 매일 할 일이 많이 있는 사회중에서 살하는 여러분께 누가 일을 더 많이 하는것 비교하지마세요 누가 효율이 더 높은지 비교하세요.

Is Chinese economy going healthy?

​The banking debt in China is actually  controversial. 
As the ongoing of overcapacity reduction, lots of companies are going bankrupt, especially in manufactory, the who held the large proportion of banking loans. For some of them choose to shift the debt to sharing, the point is, as the whole industry’s shrinking, the future of them is not positive. 
Among these dangerous companies, some are state-owned, so government won’t let them shut down, and therefore the bank has been the rescuer. While bank itself is also owned by the authority, “too big to fail”. Then followed by a more easing financial as well as currency policy. 
The annually increased government investment has to go for being consumed, so how? Perhaps, the real estate market has given the answer. Though it’s said there is a push-down of Chinese house pricing. The truth is, as you can see, going to the reverse way, as the house price in first-tier cities has been pumping up one and anther miracle and the increasing trend in general, though in some areas the prices indeed showed a fall, it turns out just a slight drop within a minority, which can not change the overall situation.
The fact is, the demand of house is a basis for most of Chinese. Amid the transaction, there are too much uncertainties on the stock market, one is due to the structure of industry and another is the weak market regime, as the incompled Chinese capital market. Consequently, house buying has become the most reliable way for Chinese to invest and solve the basic living by the way.
It’s obvious there are lots of risks inside the whole process. Chinese economy is seemingly increasing, with potential bubbles however.

Q&A Battle between Baoneng and Vanke

Baoneng’s businesses are ranging from Property management to civil industry and culture tourism, latter, as the participation of Ju Shenghua (Ju), which 67.4% of its sharing is owned by the Bao, also owns 51%(has been significant dominance) sharing of Qianhai insurance, which is owned by Yao Zhenghua, one of the managers of Bao, including other minority sharings, the Bao has occupied 88.1% value of Qianhai insurance, Bao enters into the finance.

Then what the initial purpose would be for Bao to held the majority of Vanke’s sharings? Is it likely that because the Bao intends to utilize its dominant company, the Qian to develop its business? While the Qian as an insurance company is under the strict supervision of the government, so Ban group tries to expand its business by investing and further taking over the real estate, Vanke, as its awareness of that comparing to insurance, the real estate is not being so closely watched by the authority, could it be explained like this? 
Or is it possible that there is a related trading between Bao and Huarun, who is the original largest shareholder of Vanke? In other words, whether it’s possible that Hua intends to utilize Bao’s purchasing of Vanke to finally attain the right controlling Vanke?
Otherwise, how to explain that why there have been not too much measures taken by Hua, even though the Bao has taken over 20% of Vanke’s sharing?

Wealth Inequality – Sign of Capitalism

Perhaps, the biggest sarcasm to China’s belief of regime is the present enormous wealth gap, which even increases rapidly by years.

China is not alone in terms of wealth disparity. The inequality of wealth exists in every country, which, to some extent, makes the world as a whole is equal, equal to suffer the same inevitable social issue.
While this phenomenon is not particular for China, China is special among all of these countries.
China is well-known for the minority regime over the world. The Communism has been and will be a solid belief in China’s society, which makes things controversial. According to the principles of Communism, each member of the society shares the equal amount of property, then how could such a huge difference arise? Even has been lasting for ages and till now there is no signs showing it will stop.
The fact is that China gives different definitions to its regime in different eras, which allows the country to not only keep the title of the system but develop in a capitalism way.
The world knows that and so does China. It’s an open lie saying China is not Capitalism. The inequality is a proof.
How come the issue arose then?

Dating back to 1980s, first China opened the door to the rest of the world after the recovery from the trauma caused by the Culture Revolution. Following the leader’s saying,”The group gets wealthy first helps the latter group to make wealth, finally, achieve the overall wealth as an integrity.”
It was a wonderful blueprint indeed, seems very reasonable and it did partly succeeded, which obviously was the former part of the goal. The economy development in several coastal cities like Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai had soared in a short period of time with the help of the government, both in finance and policies.
While the latter part of the stories has been forgotten. These developed cities soon became the core to accumulate more and more capital, the wealth and technology of whom are increasing. But the failed to help the poorer group, on the contrary, to satisfy the development of themselves, they set foot in the western areas, not coming to help rather for their resources and make these areas, which relatively fall behind as their industries, that imposed an indirect harm, environment issues on these territories. They take resources and energy away, leaving nothing but pollution and finally, after a circle the money goes for their pockets. 
How about the authority now? The officials hardly did some work that makes sense. They call for the concern to the poor areas but none of these wealthy people gives a glimpse to the poor and shows a deaf ear to the government’s advocation. So the accumulation of people’s wealth from west to east of China is like steps, which of course, starts the bottom from west and gradually rises to the top at east.
That’s how the “blueprint” works and that’s just how the Capitalism expands the initial capital, deprivation.
The inequality inside a country in different areas is petty much the same as the one among different countries all over the world, and it works in the same way too. The wealthier level deprives the less-advantaged group, either economically or environmentally, to prepare for the next deprivation and always follows the vicious circle.
It is, that Capitalism is “must” for a society to development. There is no any motivation for people or s society to go forward,  if everything they have is equal, no matter how much they have done, just as the Communism describes.
Disparity somehow is a motivation to push a society forward, however, when it gets too large, it has been a tool for prior group to make most of it and to benefit from it, basing on undermining the interests of the inferior group.
China had been, and especially in recent years, making much more effort than ever before to narrow down the gap in wealth, and the rest of the world is doing the same thing as well. 
Whereas, it is obvious that a society that always needs to develop and it’s impossible to eliminate the inequality radically, what people asking for is a relative equality rather than an absolute equality.

How to interview?

​A “horrible” question that I’ve ever been asked by an interviewer,”Why would I hire you rather than any other candidates?”

Yes, as an interviewee, one should always give the interviewer a reason to employ him(her). I guess for most of the interviewers who have stated almost the same qualities, like hard working and distributed, which as an interviewer would always look for. However, how many of these qualities will be presented in people’s work? On a large scale, it depends on individuals’ personalities. I mean, people are different seemingly because they could manage different skills but fundamentally, because they’re different in characters.

Let’s say there are two men with the exact same knowledge level and both of them are given a same task with a deadline. One did the work on daily basis and finished it much earlier than the deadline, while the other one hurried to manage the work right on the day before the deadline, applying all skills he knows, because he had enjoyed themselves a lot at the beginning.

Which one will interviewer prefer?

So I wouldn’t say how marvelous I am in a certain field, but I would give the word that I am persistent and enthusiastic about the thing I want. I don’t want to make a comparison with others, because I don’t know about them. There must be someone much more excellent than me, but at this moment, what I do know is about myself.

DILEMMA OF CAREER CHOOSING

​Interests VS Development

Which one matters you more?

How will you balance both?

This is a question I have been asked many times once I tell people I’m going to study abroad in broadcasting,”What? Isn’t that your major is accounting?”. And my answer is always like,”Yes, I know it’s a totally different area, but I just like it.” Yes, I just like it, the reason for me to settle my mind could be as simple as this. Then “How come you’re sure you like it?” The answer to this question is gonna be abstract, “I don’t know actually…what I do know is when I do something related to broadcasting, it makes me excited and happy, I don’t care how much time and energy I have to spend on it, as long as I could make it perfect, nothing would matter me. When I’m upset, it cheers me up. It’s that kind of thing…”

“Then why are you interested in broadcasting even particularly BBC?” You may think my answer is like a joke but that’s true.

I said,”I’ve been listening to BBC throughout my process learning English, I’m the one being helped by it, and I want to do the same for others while making myself satisfied.”

Truly, I’ve learned so much from BBC. Before I knew about it, I never know I could be so willing to access to the news and to express ideas, never think about what press is really supposed to be, I believe whatever I saw and whatever I heard, which are not always true.

What I want to present is the thing itself, without any subjective judgements and any personal emotion imposing on it, just show the origin and provide the platform for people to discuss and express ideas. 

That’s my understanding of my ideal career. I’m not sure whether if the decision was right or wrong,  or if I stick with my current major, my future would be more promising?Lots of saying about people’s confusion, but that’s my choice.

I believe #Choose what you love, and love what you’ve chosen#. I do and I will.

Wanda does the right thing at the right time

Wanda  is  well  known  as  the  real  estate  giant  in  China,  taking  place  a  large  proportion  on  Chinese  property  market.  While,  even  though,  Wanda  is  not  active  in  the  previous  territory  any  more.  Instead,  it  has  shifted  its  affairs  into  commercial  property  industry.

Comparing  to  he  original  responsibility,  which  was  in  charge  of  house  building,  Wan  Da  now  focuses  on  the  diversity  of  service  in  recreation,  like  in  shopping  and  food.

As  for  real  estate  the  vocational  work  only  including  site-selecting,  advertising  for  renting  and  building.  In  other  words,  what  they  do  for  the  traditional  property  industry  is  providing  technology  and  equipment,  rather  than  direct  monetary  investment..
The  shift  of  serving  territory  matches  to  the  requirement  of  the  society’s  overall  developing  trend.  Asset-heavy  is  gradually  not  fit  into  the  society  anymore.  On  the  contrary,  there  is  an  increasing  demand  for  asset-light.
Depending  on  their  previous  experience  and  reputation,  Wan  Da  could  help  with  location  and  business  promoting,  meanwhile,  supported  by  the  outcome  of  their  development,  they  could  expand  to  a  wider  area.
Apart  from  the  wise  decision,  the  general  atmosphere  has  pushed  this  success.  The  point  Wan  Da  shifted  to  commercial  real  estate  was  the  time  when  Chinese  housing  demand  has  obtained  a  saturation  level.  2014,  it  could  be  kickpoint  of  Chinese  property  market.  The  housing  price  suffered  a  hit  and  it  was  said  the  real  estate  has  become  an  industry  that  the  government  is  the  least  likely  to  promote.
Obviously,  the  long-sighted  change  has  saved  Wan  Da  from  the  “high  point”.  What’s  more,  the  following  carried-out  policy  maybe  proves  the  decision  further  more.
At  the  overall  tax  reform  Ying  Gaizeng  (reform  of  tax,changing  business  tax  into  added-value  tax,  a  kind  of  tax  excluded  from  the  value  of  product  itself),  now  the  general  tax  percentage  for  companies  is  17%  of  the  consuming  value,  while  for  certain  low-taxed  companies  the  number  is  13%  of  the  total  goods  value.  In  building  industry,  the  tax  rate  has  increased  from  the  initial  level,  which  is  5%  to  11%  and  even  with  a  most  likely  possibility  to  raise  further  till  the  same  level  as  other  industries  at  17%.  Whilst,  in  service  industry,  the  increasing  is  much  more  gentle,  as  overall  tax  rate  is  6%,  1%  more  than  before,  which  was  also  5%.  As  for  small  scale  service  entrepreneurs,  the  tax  even  could  reduce  to  3%.  
Futhermore,  as  the  expanding  of  higher  pursuit  of  spiritual  experience,  the  service  industry  is  going  to  be  promising.
The  perfect  combination  of  rational  decision  and  supportive  trend  of  society  development  is  the  core  to  success.

What do you see behind the cheerful figures?

For the first time, the tops market value of companies in China were not state-owned, instead, they’re led by private enterprises like Tencent and Alibaba.

The newest statistics released on 18th, August shows the whole value of Tencent was 1,643,400 million RMB and the value of Alibaba according to data from America stock market was 1,603,700 million RMB in total. While several Chinese state-owned giants retreated.

Apart from the retreat, the following ranks of national companies remain the traditional image, which are taken place by banks and energy companies.

Resources from China Daily Business News (WeChat: nbdnews)

The change of ranking does not only present the market value of companies, moreover, it indicates Chinese industry’s transaction. It is a triumph of technology over the traditional dominated industries like finance and energy.

The demand for high-tech service has been a reason for a voluntary consumption rather than a “must be”,which is the core of the victory competing with state-owned counterparts, whom people consume from, because when dealing with the later, people have no other options.

Tencent and Alibaba are the successful practice of supply-side reform.

Through technology, they even built a bridge connecting consumers to obtain traditional service in a more convenient way. Using their self-developed internet products, like WeChat of Tencent and PayPal and Ali cloud of Alibaba, they provide the service not only just people want but the ones people even haven’t expected.

It is a breakthrough to find out there is a demand for agency between the consumers and traditional industry ,to link demand and supply. The discovery of the breakthrough is about innovation and how to play the role of medium bases on technology.

These days even banks can’t survive simply depending on their traditional affairs, which is the gap banks profiting from lending rate and loan rate. As the marketilize of rate here in China is just in the infant phase, the flexibility of rate’s fluctuation is still on a large scale controlled by the government. That’s why banks now tend to takeover more affairs as agent to reduce their risks as well as improving their profits, so that to get by amid the transaction.

Though the whole wealth value of the two Internet giants is far behind companies in finance and energy industry, the market value shows people’s positive expectations to technology.

Throughout the years’ development, banks and energy companies are still walking along the original tracks, which is too slow to catch up with civil companies like Tencent and Alibaba, because technology could soar during that period of time.

Huffington & Internet Media

Arianna Huffington left The Huffington Post, the online newspaper she has dedicated for over a decade, after the paper was aacquired by AOL at the value of $0.35billion on Aaugust 11th, 2016.

After the resignation, the 66-year old woman is going to keep her career in personal startup program Thrive Global, a health care information and services supplier business.

Instead simply transferring the printed version to electronic ones, the Greek entrepreneur gave the birth to the real internet media in her early 20s.

She injected the diversity into media, and released readers from the authority of the traditional media. Citizen Journalism, blog comment system, UGC and search engines. All of these are common to see now, while in Huffington’s generation, they were precocious and she indeed promoted the development of internet media, allowing the reading experience today being more demotic.

The idea Huffington provided for us is media is for everyone, not only the accessibility for people but also the ideas, the opinions are from the public. The online newspaper service just provides a place where more people could get to know the information, more importantly, through this platform, more people could engage in the events and involve in the society. 

That’s why she invited the general people rather than professional journalists to be the reporter and editor of social affairs at the beginning of her startup in 2005.
Media gives people views of the world and explain confusion for people, so the best way for people to know about the world is just let them to ask questions by themselves. Everyone expresses their ideas, everyone could report basing on his or her own experience.

Demotic helps The Huffington Post earn a large of popularity.

Huffington should be gratified. The online paper now owns over 800 employees on a global scale, 15 different nations’ version, nearly 1,900 articles updating on daily basis and independent visiting is roughly 100 million monthly.

Apart from the basic character watching hot topic closely, The Huffington post shows the fact from different angles. The different vision that Huffington showing to people guides the public to think in different ways. Besides, applying more common language in editing, it attracts more people’s attention, expanding its popularity among a wider age groups at the same time.
With the uniqueness of its articles’ titles, it raises consonance among the readers and never lose its characteristics even without the brand.
Media for all and media to all have pushed The Huffington Post going forwards. Huffington gave the true meaning for internet media, in which all people could participate and play their roles as members of the society. Media is not supposed to be dominated by authority, instead, it’s a property belongs to all.
