Thinking & Improving Every Day -- Shirley's 72nd Friendly Greeting -- Sun, Jan 14, 2007

Hi,Dear Friends
 How are you? Have you had a good week? I do hope that everything is well with you and you are enjoying a relaxed weekend.
This week, I was tied by many meetings -- telephone meeting, TV meeting, manager meeting and about 50% of my business time is in the different meetings.
However, everyday, I keep reading 5 different newspapers, quickly for knowing something important in the industry, country and in the world. Also I have read about 200 pages of the book The World Is Flat. I like it more and more for it has opened a new window for me to see how the 3rd technology revolution has incorporated the global economy and how the Internet is changing the world economy structure.
When I read it, I have been thinking of what role we should play and how we should do to follow the times in the background of the new economy structure, even though we are just a little part of it. After all, just in the past 3 years, our company's international business and service has entered into North America, Europe and some Asian countries.
Even though I did not always write my researching report and I was painting in the nights of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, I guess, I having been thinking something in my subconscious. So I often feel that some new ideas have jumped into my mind. In the morning of Saturday, when I was enjoying my third picture, a new idea suddenly jumped out -- We should adjust our management style on the dividing the work of the vice general managers. From managing different departments, according to their duty on TV, web sites and magazines and so on, it has to be changed as management on journalism, data, technology and administration. Because most of our business is made by news and data, our journalism and data business are two parts in same river. A piece of news is just news at the first second at the time it is published. From the 2nd second, it has changed to be data. Since almost every business department has its own news and data business. What should we do as the company management should make whole of the company's journalism is more quickly to be published and to make whole of the company's data business is to add its values of news via different data products.
So, the different work of the vice general managers should not be according to the different departments, but it should be done according to the different business. Then, every vice general manager can adjust all of the departments on their news or data business. Then, whole of the company's adjust work should be more efficient. The more thought, the more reasonable. So, with a big smile, I went to my office in the golden sunshine and to order my thoughts and to read and think something in the peaceful office building as I do usually on Saturday morning.
What are your thoughts about the incorporate of the world economy? Does your company have any international business?

Shirley Created Art -- Chinese Xieyi 0115: Happy Autumn
Maybe for working too much in my New Year's Day holiday, this week, I am in the emotion to create and I did what I wanted to do in my free time instead of working on my company jobs. Can you imagine that I have created 3 pictures in the week? This is my third one and the first time I created 10 birds on one picture because on the Friday night I had a strong feeling to create a new picture with many birds and many small flowers. I enjoyed painting the little flowers in my my last picture, but I did not think that I had painted enough. So, I wanted to paint more and I completed it after working for 4 hours. My learning lady thought, that the pictures that I created by myself are better than those I created in my art lesson. She does not know that a picture in my art lesson must be completed within 1.5 to 2 hours.

Shirley Created Art --Chinese Xieyi 0114: Good Morning
Thursday afternoon, I went to the biggest art book store and I bought 11 art books, after a work meeting. So that I forgot to bring the book, that I must read for my research report. I was smiling to myself in the night that I would have time to create a picture with Chinese Xieyi style. Do not make any draft, but paint and color it directly with a brush! I do feel this is the best way to paint for me since I do not have much time to paint. I was happy for my own creation and test -- I colored my bird with many colors and also the little flowers on the right and upper part. But, when I was coloring my chrysanthemum, a telephone is ringing, so I colored it while I was answering the telephone. I did not change my water in time so that the colors seem like a little bit dirty. How do you think of this picture? Do you enjoy it?

Chinese Classical Poem 0074 & Shirley Created Music-0064: Shan Zhong Wen Da -- A Reply in the Mountain
For loving the great nature, the poem of landscape becomes one of my favorite. As soon as I read a poem, I would like to find the poems of landscape at the first and Li Bai (701鈥�762)'s poems is always the No.1. Also about 20 years ago, my dissertation of bachelor degree was just about the lyrics of landscape by Song Dynasty) poet Xing Qiji. And for the dissertation, I had read all of the poems and lyrics of Tang dynasty (618 - 917) and Song Dynasty), over 100 thousand ones. This poem writes out how the poet loved the great nature and he rather than stayed in the Mountain instead of the human world. As usual, I have written a piece of music to match it and hope you enjoy it.

Shirly Sings a Chinese (Shanxi) Folk Song--045: Xiu He Bao -- Embroidered Pouch
My vocal music teacher went to Beijing to connecting something for her studying/working in the China Center Music College/her affiliated school on Wednesday. She offered me a music lesson and chose this song for me to sing it Tuesday night. I really did want to sing it well. However, 3 cars had blocked my car in the park, so that the time between my lesson and the time for me to leave the company was only about 30 minutes, so that I had no time to eat anything, to have a breathe and to change my working clothes before my vocal music lesson. And I hope that you do not feel too bad when you hear this song.

Shirley Created Art--Chinese Xieyi 0113: Roost
I created this painting in my art lesson Wednesday night. My teacher thought that the left and down part and the bird were good. But the right and up side was too confused, the leaves were not be in suitable group and the bamboo leaves themselves were also not good enough. I do agree this and I would like to make more practice of bamboos. Do you like this picture? What is your comment about it?
