Flickr - part 3

I put this photo on Flickr and taged it as "stpaulpubliclibrary". At first, I thought it would show up immediately on the public domain as soon as I use tag searching it. However, I wait for three days until today I find it on Flickr today. It proves Flickr does censor all photos before putting them in the public domain.

I think Flickr is a good "tool" that I could share photoes with my family members. Especially, it has a version of Chinese language, so without language barrier, all my relatives and friends in China would like share their photoes with me. I am so appreciate the rapid development of high technology make life become easier and less boundary. I talk and see my parents every Saturday morning through Internet, so even they live in China - a half earth away from me, I still feel they consort with me. I can't imagine how new immigrant suffered the pain of family separation in the past time without these kinds of new technologies.

Flickr - part 2 (Trading Card)

Finally, I figured out how to make a trading card.

However, a lot of technological terminoloy still confused me, I'll check them out later.

Flickr - part 1

This is my first time try Flickr. I opened a new free account and added some photoes.
The pictures were shot in the first winter when I came to Minnesota. It was the first time I saw such beautiful snow because I came from a place almost with no snow. Here is the link:

Lifelong learning - 7 1/2 habits

I think lifelong learning is an enjoyful thing to do in my life. I couldn't stop learning unless I am dying. I think everything I've learned is so benefit my life. For example, I am learning second language. I found it is so boring from A to Z, from vowel to consonant at first, then words began making a little sense to me, now I have ability to read lots books. The new language becomes one of my new "skills" to start new life adventure, isn't it fun?
The 7 1/2 habits is easy to say, but hard to obey sometimes. To make new rules become part of life habits would take time and patience, even sacrifice "old habits" to achieve the goal. One of challenges of lifelong learning to me is how to keep the studing time regularlly and balance the conflict between study and play time. You know, sometimes hanging out with family members or friends is more attractive. However, I console myself that every "sacrifice" would win its rewards, and it is true.
