Three Quotes of the Day

leave a comment »

‘America is great because guns make everybody equal.’

‘Freedom in China is a pocketful of money.’

‘In China, you either have money or you have to be obedient.’

 

These three quotes are enough to keep me continue reading ‘One Billion Customers’ by James McGregor. I reckon what I will get after the read is the understanding more about China as not only just a growing-too-fast country, but also my roots.

I’m still a little ashamed that being a Chinese but not being able to converse in Mandarin in my everyday lives. Perhaps it’s time to go back to listening to 93.3FM, watching more Channel 8 shows, getting to know more Chinese friends, hanging out at Dragonfly with the Mandarin-speaking people, blogging in Chinese characters, reading WO-BAO newspaper, or even reading this ‘One Billion Customers’ book in the Mandarin version (if there’s one).

Great start. Speak to me in Mandarin when you see me. Han Yu Pin Yin is most welcomed as well.

Let today be the start of it..

Ni men hao. Wo shi hua ren. Wo xian zai yao ji xu kan ‘Nip Tuck’. Wo deng yi xia zai xue hua yu OK?
