Wonder if the headline was meant to stoke the fires shortly after the Maldives find themselves with the Chinese Navy in their waters and I assume India freaking out. The timing is uncanny.

Besides daily inspiration, I am constantly challenged and exposed to new tools I can bring into my professional services business. Some outstanding clients have found me in an indirect way after I offered a couple of unemployed readers a f

Really happy with its robustness. Able to access in mainland China which is nearly impossible unless using a domestic service. Now if only everyone would move to PGP.

One of the services my company in Shanghai provides is review and final edit of applications, sometimes as a second check against what domestic (read non-native speaker) agencies have created. CC is seen as a stepping stone to 4 year degre

Finally after the middle class in US has been hollowed out and everything that could be shipped over there was, we get the real story. There are scoundrels in (former) US government and industry who sold out this country lock, stock, barre

It was a great ride while it lasted. And financial historians and those who lived through internet bubble 1.0 and 2.0 knew how to play it. Pays to have some grey hair

Haa, downvoted for speaking the truth. Got to love it. I am the polar opposite to the statement above (as in V for Vendetta) in philosophy but until the people demand change, why should we force western values onto their thing? Let them fi

I am pessimistic. Too many governments are not serving the people but only fighting hard to exist so those at the top can steal more from the people. Leaders, their friends and extended family members don't get to be billionaires doi

A bit oblique but don't lose sight of a really well done LI Profile. I admit this is self-serving since I run a firm editing resumes, performing LI Profile enhancement and interview coaching in Shanghai, China. I am not selling here.
