The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

When people say that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, they mean that the person who complains or protests the loudest attracts attention and service. At work, if you always keep silent, just work hard. Then your boss maybe thought that you don't mind your salary, your promotion...etc. They will give you more and more jobs to you, and you will feel exhausting, then you afriad of to talk with your boss. God bless you! you should speak up to get what you want. According to my working experiance of thirteen years, I alway can see that those of colleagues who complains or protests the loudest, they always can be watched and got the promotion promptly. Then others will jealous, but afriad of speak it out.

We always afriad of to talk with other persons what's your really feeling, what are you thinking? We always afriad of to express your feelings to someone you care. That's too bad! I think. Life is short, we should not only to express yourself in your job but also grasp best moment with your love and friends. One thing I have to remind you that once you try to let your boss know your complains, please make sure you have confident that you really are a valuable person for your company, or maybe you are the next one to be laid off! Good luck!

How I Spend a Typical Day

I am in charge of material forecast and inventory control at Global Service Center. My position is a supervisor. I usually arrive at the office at 8:30. When I arrive at the office, I turn on my NB, then check my emails and reply or assign the issues to my team members and follow it up.

After that, I call a staff meeting with my team to discuss the Daily Production Schedule and to see any pending issues which need to be solved. Then, I check my agenda and make some phone calls to related department to check the material shortage status and push buyers to get the ETD from vendors as quickly as they can. After that, I update the shortage report to Sales department and commit the delivery schedule, then make sure the goods will be delivered on time.

Also, I have to review the inventory status and generate the excess report to director and financial department. According to the excess list then to deal with vendors and try to sell out the excess parts so that can reduce the inventory amount. During the break time in the afternoon, I have a cup of coffee, then have a meeting with Service Center in China to discuss the new project’s material preparation and confirm the target date, then announce the meeting minutes to related person. That’s my typical day. Busy and tired!!

The Comparison of Job between a Human Resource Officer and a Fashion Buyer

As a human resources (HR) officer, you must have a clear understanding of your organization's business objectives and be able to devise and implement policies which select, develop and retain the right staff needed to meet these objectives. The advantages are to learn about each organization’s vision, mission and value; the disadvantage is that you will be given a lot of responsibility at an early stage, and the job is invariable.

As a fashion buyer, they must have ability to find out what the key items of the season are and to see how people shop. Also, they work with design team and suppliers to put together a range. The advantage is you can learn more about the fashion, and the job is flexible. The disadvantage is always under pressure than HR officer.

In conclusion, HR officer provides administration services for the recruitment and employment of staff. Fashion buyer got to know what these key items are and then translate them into the right fabric, shape, and price. No matter how the job is, it’s depends on what kind of jobs you are interested or not.

An Inconvenient Truth Comments

I think that overall it's a good film, actually, it explains the facts very well, Gore tried to highlight the problems we have had on the earth. We have to face up our environment has been destroyed rapidly. For instance, greenhouse gas had caused the effect of global warming. The temperature has became more and more high than before; then more and more disasters caused many people died-e.g. hurricanes, tornadoes, typhoons. Recently, you can hear the news from TV, i.e. the glacier are melting rapidly.

Some people maybe disagree with Gore's presentation, but no matter whether the film is political, scientific, or real, misleading; global warming is there, and you can see that it has impacted our livelihood. No one can deny it.
To be a member of global village, everyone has responsibility to protect our environment and confront the global warming's crisis, we should work together to find the way out, then solve the problems.

Six children cannot take care of one mother?

I think that it depends on the relationship between the parent and the children. If it was a bad relationship then I believe that most children will not take care of the parent. I think a good indicator is how close the children live to the parent.


When children grow up and become adults, they usually have their own lives, most of them tear themselves away from their native place, or move out from parents's house.

However, it is unfortunate that the "normal" way of life these days puts a lot of pressure on adults,it is hard enough for a child to take care of their own children, let alone their aging parents.


I think that each of the six children has different priorities. Some may be relieved that they have a sibling who will take care of Mom so they don't have to.

Personally, I am raising my children to be competent, responsible, and independent. I never want to be a burden to them when they are grown and have their own families. But, I would hope that I raised them to always love and respect me enough that they would want to help me when I am aging if I needed them.

When I came back home, I think that I am a chattering person, because my kids always disorder their stuffs after school, and their bedroom always messy. It makes me going to crazy.

Troubled Society

I saw the horrible news from TV last night. An unemployed man randomly chose landlords from advertisement of internet, then pretended that he wanted to rent a house and murdered the landlord and tried to kill his wife and son as well. What's wrong with our society? It's really sick in this world. When he was caught by police, I was shocked that the reason why he murdered the victims is because he lost his job for a while and he had bad experience to be defrauded over million dollars; therefore, he have to kill somebody to extend his angry to relsease his pressure.
I think that government have to expedite their policy of economy, try to figure out the efficiency policy to save people, or more and more unemployed person will lose their patience and make more and more troubles in our society.
