Exchanging holiday greetings is nice, for people who are too busy to stop his work to say hello until the year's end. However, getting an email started with "Hi, dear, ..." is another feeling, when it's not from my dear of any kind but a colleague.
I am still a lost cause, or a non-believer. However, quite a few of my good friends have taken up either Christianity or Buddhism. Since these are smart people, and my friends, I wonder from time to time why I am not like them. Do you have a religion? If yes, what is it?
That's how I feel about today's life in China. Six friends met for dinner on Friday, and three of them needed to go to work on Saturday! I am not talking about scientists who work every day. These three people are doctor, law-enforcement personal, and senior engineer. Stress can cause real harm, i ...
Sometimes, the best action is no action. Say, you had some problems with your fellow student(s) and/or adviser, and you might be right (and they might be wrong). Does it matter to make it crystal clear who was wrong and how wrong he or she was? How ab ...

After 26+ hours on the road, with no delays this time, I am finally home. The flight from TLS to FRA was short and uneventful. The extra security check at FRA for the US-bound flight was PAIN. Many US citizens complained about the FRA airport, but it's really the US's fault. Such added security do ...
