不完美才是人生


我们经常听到这样一句话: "上帝总是最公平的。他关闭了一扇门,又为你推开了另一扇窗"。当一扇门关了之后,另一扇门(另一个机会)才会打开。我在2009年4月经历了我人生第一次真正的laid-off, 失去了有20年经验的Principle Software Engineer 的工作。是坏事吗?6位数字的收入没有了,自然不是好事。但是我的另一扇门打开了,它让我毫不犹豫地迈了进去。
和几个朋友一起开始了我们人生的新事业和探险。我们开始从事网站建设。太自然了,做了20年的软件工程师,这是最好的选择。2010元旦,我们开始为商家制作小网页-“中文黄页”。我们的直接服务对象是波士顿的华商,为他们创造一个平台,把大家的生意放在一起,共同promote。我们的目标是使波士顿16 万华人,方便,容易地找到他们所需要的服务。
我们以精美的图形设计,现场拍照,一对一采访,量体裁衣的个性化服务,赢得了众多商家的认同。我们尽全力在网上和现实生活中为波士顿华人服务:我们为各商家和社团组织免费提供网上报名,网上登记,网上宣传。我的一位朋友告诉我,他在购买房屋过程中,从realtor, 驗房师,到贷款,closing律师,都是通过华人服务网页大全”找到的。 对此,我们深感欣慰。我们经常收到网上,甚至来自国内的求助信。 有人病了,寻找医生;有的出事了,寻找律师;有的学生,寻找住处;有人从国内来波士顿出席会议,要找翻译,导游;还有更多的人找装修,办签证! 我们有求必应,把最好的商家服务推荐到朋友的手中。
经过一年多的努力,“华人服务网页大全(http://www.a2zbizonline.com/)” 已初具规模。我很高兴地告诉大家,我们最近又推出了商家博客论坛这个周末就连到网站上!) 欢迎大家问问题,写评论,使”华人服务网页大全“充分发挥为华人服务的功效。

美国养鸡记

My friend sent me a link, to my surprised that it was my article written in 2008!
I promised the 主人公 in the article that  I would only post it to my class site which was private and could not be read by others.
Well, since it is already online,  I'd like to share with you and hope you'll have some fun reading.

博文转贴:從一本書:「癌症不是病」談起

租车点滴

I used to shop around and book the cheapest one. Once we booked a car cheaper than others, then it turn out that the rental location is not at the airport. It took us a lot of time to pick-up/drop-off the car. So be careful to read the words "Ïn terminal"!

如何选航空公司:Jetblue vs. Spirit

I used to have the following criteria in booking flight tickets:
1. Always try to get non-stop: Not only to save time, but also to avoid unexpected delay and cost!  In certain cases, if you cannot catch the next flight and have to stay in a hotel because of a delay caused by a snow storm, you may have to pay it.
