National Geographic did a project named ‘Seven Billion’ in the past years.As a part of the project,they want to find out a face which could represent a biggest number of people in the world.Well,they finally got it.
This is a face of a 28 year-old-Chinese-male drawn by computer according to 190,000 photos of 28-year-old Chinese guys.It’s a typical look that 9 million people in the world may have quite a similar face.
Is that amazing?I feel it’s 60% fit with my face. 
Ms. Groner was an American old lady and she just past away when she was 100 years old.She left 7 million US dollar behind her life and all funds was contributed to Lake Forest College for scholarship there.
7 million US dollar is not a small amount.I believe many of you may think that Ms. Groner should work at management level or she may have a rich family.Well,she wasn’t.She worked as a secretary in a pharmaceutical company for 43 years and the money came from the 3 shares she bought in 1935 of that company.
During the years,the shares have some dividends.She always took the dividends reinvesting into the same stock;The shares have been split many times,but she didn’t sell any single share in her life.
What she did created the wealth she had.Financial advisors normally suggest people that not putting all funds to only one investment because it may create a very high risk we may face.However,in this case,Ms. Groner definitely did what financial advisors won’t and she was successful.
Thus,I make my own conclusion:Winner may not be the expert of some field,sometimes,a kind of consistency,a good habit,a strong belief or some more luck is very necessary.

Today ministry of Finance in Malaysia will submit the budget for the coming 2010.The Prime Minister Dato’ Najib is also the minister of Finance.I think he had to pay attention to this budget because Malaysia was just suffered by the economic downturn seriously and now difficultly walking out of it.The government ran some mini budgets during the past several month to support country’s economic by adding deficit.So the forthcoming budget is at the crossroad that may push the economic up or pull it down to the jungle.
In front of the new budget,Najib must give out the ways for two main points at the same time:
I will post the hot points tonight when the budget released to the public.
Ji Xianlin is the name for a man of signal virtues.He was a linguist who was good at English,French,German,Russian and also being the specialist at Sanskrit,Pali and Tokharian.
He past away silently with all kinds of honors all over the world which he deserved to have.
I do respect this old man because he always chases for the truth.
He declined to accept the title of "maestro of Chinese culture” many many times.He said he was only a researcher on Oriental Culture and Languages.However,we know he has broad knowledge on Chinese culture.
I read some articles from him in the recent years.The words are simple but meaningful.I have to say that some of his thoughts are still lightening my way.
Thank you & Goodbye!
I wish you could reach Elysium and accompany with Buddha.
