Wage plus learning opportunity equal to your monthly salary?
I came across this idea on a chicken soup article on Chinese Tweet, replying to someone who was dissatisfied with his salary and wanted to quit his job, without the question mark, though. Some agreed with it and some rather saw it as a way of brainwash to keep people where they are. After all, if it is a good opportunity to learn something, it should be a serious business and come with decent pay, shouldn’t it?
The way I see it, it is not about how much you are paid or learned. You will have to keep learning and responding to changes as long as you are alive. What matters most is that whether or not your boss wants to respect your efforts.
I was upset by a status updated by my boss a few days ago. It said that “do you know why a second film of a great movie is still lucrative even it has some main characters replaced? It tells you that a movie makes an actor, not the otherwise; similarly, the Company will be able to operate perfectly, with or without you. So, you have to be grateful to the Company and act as you are so”.
I know what she said is partly true, but sounds mean. And I doubt it is a good way to cheer up your employees and keep their loyalty. I, and my colleagues, work overtime all the times, free of additional charge and at the expense of our spare time and health. At last, we are awarded with the idea of “the Company is operating perfectly without you”. How pathetic we are!
P.S. Happy Christmas eve!

What you had done/are doing/will do when you were/are/will be 23?
To begin with, I don't know if you can put a title like I did above. But, anyway, I think you get the point.
Here I am, at the end of Chinese national holiday, still working overtime. I am working on my PC at home, because my boss "wants us to work in comfort". While the truth is, she won't have to pay me three times of daily salary in that way.
As I am listening to my imaginary tick-tok sound, I know my life is draining away and there is no way back. So, I am worried about whether I am taking the right path to achieve my main goal, or whether I work hard enough. As you not know, my friends around me are either busy getting married or taking selfile to update their status on Chinese FB. Am I too serious toward life?
How about you, italki readers? What your life was/is/will be like when you were/are/will be 23? What decisions had you made that mattered a lot?

What do you want to accomplish and what have you done so far to achieve it?
Yeah, I know, this topic seems to be the one will show up only on the school paper. I cann't help but think about it this morning as no matter how hard I try, what I have done seem to be less than enough.

Outdated Boarding School
My younger sister goes to the same boarding high school which I attended 7 years ago. It is located at a small town and has the reputation of putting most of its students into colleges.
Life in the boarding school is boring, as it is easy to assume. Students there have to spend 5 hours in the morning, 3 hours in the afternoon and 3 hours in the evening, six and a half day a week in studying. Kids are free to go outside the campus to do shopping at the Sunday afternoon. To be more accurately, they are free from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m because they have compulsively self-study time in the evening.
An British professor argued in a TED video that we spend too much time in teaching students how to do math calculating by hand which is a waste of time and can be done by using computers. He said we should spend more time teaching students how to build model with math and solve practical problems in real life. I just can't agree more.
There are kids in western countries nowadays learning code or using the Internet to start their own business at young age. While back in the boarding school, my sister can't even type fast enough or make a good presentation.
It's extremely difficult to go against the main stream. All I can do, is linking the modern world bit by bit to the little girl.

Big city or Hometown?
I have a dilemma. There are various disadvantages to live in my hometown.
It's hard to find satisfying jobs. Just a few minutes ago, I closed a job-hunting website and was upset to find that there were few desirable jobs available to me here.
Also, it's difficult to find friends with similar tastes and interests. At a weekend, I went to see a documentary named Deep Sea Challenge at the theater and was surprised to find that my sister and I were the only two persons in the hall. While, people were lining up in the nearby hall to see some love movie that was easy to guess the ending without seeing it. Well, my little sister was agreed to go because I payed for the tickets.
When I tried to talk to my friends growing up together about these annoyances, they were either busy shopping online or asking me how they became so fat. "You gain much weighs, Of course! Because you keep eating while have no exercise!" I screamed deep inside my heart.
I can't help but wonder whether it was a good choice to live in my hometown after graduation. It's obvious the cost of leaving is low and I can spend more time with the family. But, I am just happy.

Searching for resources
Hey, I’m wandering where I can find subtitles online for news, shows or programs of USA or UK? I am still having trouble in catching some words or phrases in the English radio stations or videos. It will be better if I can get those new words from subtitles and look them up.

The meaning of friends/朋友的意义
Chinese social medias are criticizing the losing value of social networking platforms like Wechat which are supposed to be bonding tools among circles of friends but now filled with advertisements from oversea purchasing agents. Also, people communicate fewer than before with each others but learn about friends and family members via shares and statues on the social networking sites. Too many people simply put up selfies or forward articles with catchy titles to get Likes or meaningless comments.
Some people cannot help but ask themselves, including me, the same question: the circle is there, but where are all my dear friends? Friends made when we were deskmates, dorm mates or schoolfellows are drifting apart. Is it reaching a point when one needs to make friends based on the interest and hobbit? Or, simply, we have been following the wrong rules in choosing friends from the very beginning?
I think I am a bit confused about the meaning of friends. At a time when everyone seems to get quick help online while friends in real life seldom gather together due to busy schedules and focus on many different things, does one need friends? The four women in the Sex and the City or four nerds in the Big Bang Theory demonstrate the ideal friendship for me as they can exchange ideas about certain matters and always be there for each other whenever one needs help.
Maybe that’s something simply too good to be true.
中国媒体都在抨击类似微信之类的社交网站已失去真正意义上的交流价值。原本应成为促进感情交流的工具现在却充斥着海外代购广告。人们交流得越来越少，只是通过分享和动态来了解朋友和家人的信息。太多的人只是更新自拍照或者转发诱人的文章让人赞或者发无聊的评论。
不少人，包括我自己，都在问同样的问题：圈还在，但是朋友去哪了？因为同桌，同寝室，同校而交到的朋友正渐离渐远。是不是到了应该根据同样的兴趣和爱好选择朋友的时候？抑或是，我们从一开始就没选对？
我越来越不了解朋友的概念。当每个人似乎都可以从网上得到帮助，而现实生活中的朋友却因为时间繁忙、重心不同而很少聚在一起，我们还需要朋友吗？《欲望读书》里的4个好姐妹还有《生活大爆炸》里的4个书呆子之间的友谊就很完美，他们可以交流意见，做彼此的支柱。
也可能这样的友谊是太美好而不真实吧。
