Something I have learned from organizing the workshop

i.         Controlling is very important in organizing the activities and it has to be continuous. Controlling can ensure the result of the job to see whether it can be fitted to the planning expectation. If controlling is continuous and excellent, we can make sure the plan is processed effective. and if the controlling job do not continuous, it may lead a big mistake and the effort will be discounted. For example, in this workshop, I forget to prepare the music which cause the workshop opening delaying 5mins and it contribute to the time controlling problem later in the workshop. So in my opinion, as the organizer, we also need somebody else to conduct the controlling job on us. Next example, we all do not remember to bring the material to the workshop in advance. The testing of computer, the delaying of bringing the materials also contributes to the time problem in the workshop. In order to overcome the problem, we should do the controlling job no matter what time or which process on each member.

ii.          Suggestion is good for organizing the activities although the suggestion may not be accepted.  We put forward many useful and useless suggestions in the meetings. For the time we should hold the workshop or what kind of paper we should buy all come from the suggestions of the members. Suggestions make things perfect. For example, the name of the game we have in the workshop people do what people do contains what we have learn in our class and it’s easy for participate to know how to play the game and what’s the meaning of the game. Getting more suggestions it also can be applied to our life when we meet problems. We can learn from other people’s past experience or creative ideas and decide how to solve the problem base on our critical thinking. 


iii.          Be positive. This is the biggest harvest I gain from workshop. The workshop is in our midterm exam period so it’s no doubt that all of us are busy. But all of us are willing to take the job seriously. We can feel the positive energy on each member. Positive people have more strength and better determination to do a good job. We are busy but we still attending meetings and laughing when we discussed. We are trying and never give up when we met problems. And we are willing to give a hand to those who cannot finish the job with solid reason. Keeping your mind positively, this is the most impressive experience in the workshop.

iv.          Communication is important especially when cooperation is needed. Some of our members do not check mail and we do not know they have no idea of the process of our workshop. Thus, some of us are over allocated the workload and some of us under. Above all, Communication is good for cooperating. We should motivate to get the first hand information of the workshop and members.

The short film "the black hole"



The short film tells a story about a sleep-deprived office worker accidentally discovers a black hole – and then greed gets the better of him. And in the end, he is trapped in the black hole because of the misusing of the black hole.


The discovery of the black should be a great finding. However, the dark side of human---greedy turns the discovery in to a tool to gain the better of himself.


Think about if we have use the black hole in a good way. We can have done so many meaningful things! 


It reminds me the creation and the usage of gunpowder in the past. Chinese created powder to make fireworks but later it was used in the war and become a necessary and efficient tool to kill people.


But how to stop this?


In my opinion, if the black hole was found by a scientist, will it has a different story? maybe yes, maybe no. But if the black hole is found by a good people, it must become a great breakout in the world.


So, it's necessary for us to be good. Or, many good things such as "black hole" will be misuse and become a disaster.

An old story, an old question.

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily....?

.... When suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car?


Well, after asking many people about this question. Most of the people give the answer like "I will of course drive the old lady to the hospital first and miss my girl and old friend".

Finally, there is a good answer:

Get out of the car, ask the old friend to drive the old lady to a hospital and then drive himself home. I'll stay at the bus stop with my dream partner.

Yes, this is the answer which seems perfect: The old lady is saved, to let your old friend to do his job, and to be with your perfect partner.

The answer looks like very easy, but why we still need to ask so many people to get a good answer? 

I think it's because most of people choose to stay in the car instead of getting out of the car.Here, The car means the advantage of yourself.

If we want to gain more in our life, we need to try to get out of our advantage to have a try on new things. And then, may be we will find our new potential.

Otherwise, your life will be similar with asking this question without considering getting out of the car.You life will continue to be DULL.
