California Bar Exam is known as the hardest test in the states. It is well known that people from good law schools have to try 3, 4 times or even more. The record is one tried 14 times. I was warned because I have never been to law school in my life. I did not even sit in a prep course. All I have is material book and a tutor who tells me what I did wrong. Long story short, I was very close on the first attempt. Without hesitation, I tried for the second time. I put my life on hold and give all my time to the test prep. So one day before my test result came out , I happened to talk with this friend of mine I knew from college. We spent a lot of time together in a "group" so we knew each other very well. When I told him that I was scared to death, he said, you know you are at that level already. You can do it. He said that as a statement of fact, not a compliments. Second day, he called again. I told him, yeah, I did pass. He again calmly said: " I am not surprised. ...

Woke up in the morning and realized it was 19th of Nov. I also realized that it is my brother's birthday today. My brother is in China and 19th is actually yesterday. He called me yesterday morning to check on me but I did not recall that moment was his birthday. I did not recall when I called him back in the evening neither. Last year he wrote to me to say that everyone forgot his birthday! Guilty, guilty, guilty! I spent half an hour trying all numbers I have to reach him. I finally found him in the party with parents. Luckily they did not forget this time. I also called his friends and asked them to call him too. It dounns on me that we spent way too much energy worring about why people who don't care much. Of course, it is not everyone's duty to show care and it is understandable that everyone has their lives to run, yet we almost forgot people who are by our sides all the time regardlessly. If we do, we are guilty as charged. It also douns on me that my 6 years of ...

I went to work for this company for 2 days. I went out with this girl. She is 26 years old or so. She was so open. On the way to her clients, she told me all about her: where she wnt to school, who paid for her tuition...how old her boyfriend was, where he was now and what he was doing...how she felt about this job...I can't say I learned everything about her but I can sense, if time allows, I could learn a lot about her. I enjoyed her complete honesty and I liked her. I pondered to myself: gee, I wish I could do the same. In our daily interaction, we constantly judged what to tell, what not to tell and how to tell because we are afraid either the audience don't care to know or the sharing will someday backfire us. In most occassions, we just shut up in order to be safe. Over time, we don't even share with ourselves. However, we miss the joy associated with sharing. In USA, everyone lives in a me me me world. what happens to another soul at this moment does not matter. So we ...

Another killer spree! Millitary Psychiastrist in Fort Hood fired more than 100 shots and killed 12 innocent people, wounded 31 of them. What a shock?! Not really! It happened more and more often. Virginia Tech, the mall in Chicago and last christmas at a family party....Why do these people do crazy things like this? When my further research led me to the finding that the killer is a loner and has nobody in his life, I realized this has to be the root of the problem. The Korean guy in Viginia Tech was a loner too. Four years into his college, his roomate did not even know his name, neither his major. Same with the chicago instance and the chrismas party incidents. All of these killers are introvert and had nobody to turn to for distress. We human are like balloon. When pressured, we need to a outlet to release the presure. However, in America society, people always send you to a "professional" who would think of you as a weirdo or insane people to start with. Very few ...

最近学着老公和老弟, 看文学城上瘾. 上面出了各种科技政治新闻外, 多半是对为情所困的男男女女的描写. 看着觉得好累. 当然谁都经历过. 记得一个INSPIRATIONAL SPEAKER说过一句话: 人际关系就象是手上的沙. 你越捏得紧, 你就越什么都得不到. 人的感情本来就是象雾象云又象风的东西, 追是追不来的. 其实爱是不离不弃, 是靠时间堆积起来的. 再多的挑情, 时间短了, 都是沙地上的房子, 牢固不了的. 其实, 朋友也好,家人也好, 是你的就是你的, 争不来的. 我发觉每当我用心看了几个小时的书, 才懂得什么叫做知识就是力量. 知识的分量让你觉得踏实, 是跑不了的. 比如吧, 这两天我有空, 我喜欢看法律方面的书做消遣. 当我悟到法学逻辑和数学是相关的, 我可高兴了. 我们不是在追求快乐吗? 读书是一种快乐, 而且是自己给自己的 书中自有黄金屋, 书中自有颜如玉
