170518 I have stayed at home for six month preparing for an examination for going abroad. It is such a long time for leaving workroom after postgraduate. But at last, the performance is unsatisfactory because, in one ways, I made too high goal at the beginning, and in the other way, maybe I am too old for academic study. To sum up In a word, the results frustrate me. The day before yesterday, my friend introduce a new job for me, And because so interested in this position, I send my curriculum vitae to him immediately. At that night, I made a divination with zhouyi, the Chinese tradition divine method, and got a very good prediction. Unfortunately, in this afternoon, my friend told me that, in the interview at this noon, the boss said he wants a cheaper employee, almost a half of my prices. A sad news again.

20170516-2 A team came from Fudan university find that in Qufu district, Confucius’ homeland, there have several different Y chromosome of the man whose first name is Kong, as same as Confucius. This find didn’t surprise anybody, because the Kong family had some incident which could change the pedigree of family in history, but the consequence of this incident maybe has difference between document and fact.

20170516 Confucius was a saga in ancient china and his instruction influence almost all of the posterity in eastern of Asia, as Moses does in eastern world. From Han dynasty to Qing dynasty, the administration of China knighted the direct line of Confucius by tradition, even the republic of china, and nobody suspect the pedigree validity. But the idea has been changed in a recent study about Y chromosome of the man in the family.

summary 20170512 The article astonished me in some extent. The scientists found that although the Neanderthals extinct long ago, some of their genes live on, and, alive in our body. The research mentioned some of the people live in Eurasia may be contain some amount (2%~4%, maybe) genes got from Neanderthals, this part of people have slightly lower risk of schizophrenia, but have slightly increased height on average. Some scholar found Neanderthals have cranial capacity bigger than Homo sapiens cotemporary, who was the ancestor of modern man, and they have some aesthetic preliminary, maybe some religious consciousness. Now it is a time to consider whether is reasonable to define “Neanderthal” as “stupid”,” rude”, or “gawk” in English.

summary 20170513 The article is about how to write an effective email, which, in the author’s mind, is more read and responded by the receiver. The author mentioned five faults that will destroy the value of an email, and they are: 1. Write too much. The only goal of email is to elicit the response but not to educate the prospects, so keep email short and to the point. 2. Sound like a salesman. Write as if you are talking to the friends, and take out the buzzwords, even maybe they are sounding intelligence or impressive. 3. Failing to personalize. Don’t send a same email to all of the prospects, instead write a personalized mail, and look like you have done your homework and care about them. 4. Neglecting to add an obvious value. It will increase the likelihood of a response that considering the need of your prospects and offering something of real value to them. 5. Forgetting to include a “hook”. Don’t end an email with a statement instead with a question that prompts reply.
