True Story This noon, I had my lunch in a little Chinese fast food restaurant I went to a lot. Instead of ordering “Yangzhou chao fan”(their version of ingredients: steamed rice stir fried with eggs, ham, vegetables, etc.) which I always choose, somehow, I ordered “tu dou rou si chao fan”(their version of ingredients: steamed rice stir fried with sliced pork, sliced potatoes, etc.). They are of the same price. Later, it turned out that I should had stuck to “Yangzhou chao fan”, because the other one was horrible. The sliced pork is not even fresh (in an eatable way). As a person cherishes food, I couldn’t finish them. Most of the sliced pork along with some rice was left. Then I told myself that my code was proved right again. My code is: “When you need to choose between two things at the same place, choose the one with ingredients of generally lower price.” Take the above two “chao fan” as an example. The price are the same, the egg and ham (barely have meat in it) are generally much cheaper than sliced pork. They are offered by the same restaurant. So generally, their profits are the same. Then the sliced pork would be low-quality or the egg and ham would be high-quality to make sense. Thus, choose egg and ham. The same goes to “bao zi” which the price is fixed at one place, mostly, but you can choose meat or vegetable. Recent years, I never chose meat not even for one time, because before I had my code, the meat one I chose always gave my taste bud and my digest system a hard time. And that was how I had my code.

Podcast 2 1. I came back home and found that my son was cleaning a mess of broken glasses on floor. “How did it happen?” I was kind of pissed. He placed another glass on a corner of the table nearby and tried to reach the milk placed on the other side of that table. His elbow knocked that glass down to floor. “See?” 2. My best friend once told me that his wife once called him and asked him to tell her the number of a banknote she hided in her book to check if he was at home as he claimed. Today when I was going to head to a bar, I checked my wife’s books and found a banknote. I took that banknote with me and got out. Later my wife called, “I left a banknote in my favorite book. Tell me which pages it’s between.”

Input Method I’m wondering how people whose native language is not Chinese choose the input method to input Chinese, phonetic-based (pinyin) or shape-based (stroke)? And for all languages, do you find handwriting and voice recognition helpful?

How "Stay hungry. Stay foolish“ is being comprehended in English-speaking world?

The serious Chinese translations can be divided into two groups
1. Hungry for knowledge. Be curious.
    Be modest/humble. Keep considering yourself foolish, then you can keep learning more.
2. Hungry for success. Never be satisfied. Be ambitious/aspiring.
    Do whatever you believe is right, even if everyone but yourself think you are a fool to do so. Be adventurous.

There is also a funny way to understand it. Be a foodie. Be a idiot.
