Hi,Dear Friends
 How are you? Is everything well with you?
Today is the 177th day that I am in the US and the second day of the spring vacation in the university. The first thing I did in the vacation was to write a long long letter to my bosses to report some new inspirations from my study, to offer some suggestions to the company鈥檚 work. I would like to work on my new lessons and my own web site in the first 5 days of the vacation, then I will have a 3-days travel at the territory of the US.
What I heard and thought most in the last part of Organizational Management by Dr. Rozell and the first part of the 6th course International Marketing by Dr. Hermans is 鈥渙pen鈥�, 鈥渙pen鈥� and 鈥渙pen鈥�, 鈥渋ntegration鈥�, 鈥渋ntegration鈥� and 鈥渋ntegration鈥�.
The third technology revolution and the internet have made the world so small. It requires us to enlarge our eyeshot with an opener mind to accommodate the changing of the environment and to follow the steps of the era. To extend my opinions that "only when the intranet has met and merged three 鈥淢鈥� -- Multimedia/Channels, Multiple Businesses and Manifold Participators, it can really impact the organizational decision making" in my little paper -- When Does Intranet Impact the Organizational Decision Making. I offered some new ideas and suggestions to my bosses on adjusting our company鈥檚 technology systems that relate to the Intranet, Extranet and Internet, enlarge center database's foundations, enhance product's personalization degree and improve team member's multi-knowledge structure level and so on.
A strong feeling from the recent lessons is that Americans are working hard on researching other nations and other cultures. The researching range and depth on China, Chinese cultures, Chinese manager's characteristics, China's social, economic and geographical elements, which are affecting investments have far more than ourselves have realized already.
I deeply feel that Chinese ourselves must make double efforts, and then we can really catch opportunities and confront competitions. So, I have totally involved myself into my studies. Even though I start to work at about 7:00 am and go to sleep at about 2:00 am every day. I still wish that one day would have 48 hours.
On my personal hobbies hands, many friends felt pity for me for I have given up some opportunity to have an art exhibition in the US. I did and did not. Even though I often paint in my dreams, I also think that the current studying is helping me to add my experience and enlarge my scope of knowledge; it will certainly help me to create more and better art works in the near future. Meanwhile, since my dream is to become an integrative artist of painting, music, language and literature, a single painting exhibition cannot really show my own unique style. So, I am not anxious at all. Adverse, I am in a very easy and peaceful heart, to work hard on my professional courses here, to go back China to work on the art of management while to create my pictures and music continuously.
I am sure that I would certainly have some art exhibitions in China and in the US or in the other places someday, not only a single art works, but also some integrated art works with painting, music, calligraphy, language and literature as I have been exploring since 2003 and maybe pluss the title of "Cross-Artistic, Cross-Cultural Communication" what what...?
Therefore, I have written to Professor Michael Frizell and I have been to his written center to learn writing already. I was touched by their high effective and responsible work. I will continue to learn writing there as soon as I can.
How about you? What is your dream at this time? Do you believe that I will meet my dream some day?

I am just a learner on art of painting, music, English and Chinese language, to work on the web site in my free time. I would really like to do a few things with what I have learned to make this little web site to be an Electronic Bridge of Culture Exchange, Chinese Language Learning & Friendship making. To help the others while improving myself.
I will appreciate your understanding, directions, supports and hope to get your friendly direction and help.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, you are welcome to write to shirley@ebridge.cn or Yiping007@MissouriState.edu, or to publish your opinions in the forum.
