前幾天Humble Bundles推出了個每週促銷,賣的是一部我看了有想要買的遊戲。先不說是那部遊戲,因為本文不是要說這遊戲有多麼棒,而是它的銷售模式。不知道是不是個趨勢,近年來類似的促銷似乎越來越多。Pay what you want到底對一些人意味著什麼?便宜無好貨大家都聽過,但是當一件東西推出來說你覺得它值得多少錢就付多少,那一般人會怎麼評價?如果這東西,不是隨便什麼路人發佈的,又應當何價?
如果给你一个机会想你会在20年后要做什么的话,你会有什么样的答案。刚刚和朋友聊了一下,本来是关于某某人的事情,后来我在谈话中看到这个课题真的很感兴趣。当我听到我朋友说过他听到朋友说甘心当一个文员的时候赶到非常讶异,我不是在歧视,但是我却很佩服她可以真的读了Diploma in Computer Science & Management Mathematics后去当一个文员。人生在世,甘心归于平淡的有多少个?
我不敢说自己有什么大计,反正这个课题不要求我真的对它负责。我希望能够再读完comp science能去读MBA。我希望能在自己有生之年可以拥有一个堪算成功的生意。我希望能够自助旅行到一些国家。我希望我的父母亲可以很安乐。希望的东西太多,多到写不完。不过人是因为有希望才能不断地进步。因为有了渴望达到愿望的动力,所以人才会不断追求知识,不断尝试,才会不断进步。
刚才说过我是读ComputerScience的,乍一听可能真的和MBA真的无关。的确,在我考虑读CompScience之前,我是没有想过去读business的。后来学的东西越多,对着电脑的时间越长,而压力越来越大的时候,我发觉到我毕生将会如此一直延续下去。我不是不喜欢成为一个programmer,in fact,当你完成一个程序的时候,那种成就感是非常的振奋人心的。至是我怕到时我会终有一日会厌倦这种生活。这些事情很难说的,也许有一天我真的疯狂爱上了其他的职业也说不定。事业呢,可能是受“富爸爸”系列丛书的影响吧,我不能接受职业=事业的这种解释。而能够建立属于我的事业当然也非易事,尤其是我这种中学开始选修理科的人。
我是那种不能一直面对同样东西一段长时间的人,所以我很喜欢旅行那种感觉。向往背包旅行是可能受了媒体的诱惑吧,很多人开始有自己分享资讯的能力了,所以你常常会看到很多背包客在网上发布自己的笔记。普通导游导览的旅行也有去过,但是我一点都不喜欢那个过程,因为我们就像鸭子一般被赶来赶去(导游倒是很friendly)。而背包客的时间相比之下更加flexible咯,所以不须要奔波劳累。
父母亲安乐想必是很多为人子女最想的事情吧,我想没人真的会想激死老豆揾山拜的吧。
从WTJ那边得知接下来的星期三会有一场blogger的讲座会,根据一些消息指出,这个讲座将会由本地著名的blogger主讲(Jeff Ooi,Jeremiah Foo和郑立慷)。据我猜测,因为主办当局和主讲人都是专注于时事评论的,所以谈论的也应该大概是blogger的社会责任还是什么的。
Recently our English for Science unit’s lecturer posted an issue about e-learning at the college’s “e-learning” system (which is actually a blackBoard Learning System that is also used by many other colleges) and we are required to write a response to that issue. She also provided a link to a page that clearly explains about “e-learning”. Until now, I have really no idea on this issue since I am still reading that webpage while I am posting this.
If only looking at my college’s so called “e-learning” system, I really don’t like it much because it is not as useful as I expected. Blackboard Learning System is no doubt a good system handling “e-learning” things but it is not being well used at my college. I myself prefer looking for information at another websites rather than the e-learning system because there are almost nothing provided by our lecturer through the system except for some lecture notes / tutorial questions / assignment questions etc. I have a friend studying at another college and I heard from him that he can get a lot more things through their college BlackBoard System besides notes / assignments etc. And the participation of his lecturer is much better compared to my college. I found that sometimes it is very rare to see any lecturer to join in our discussion in the discussion board and probably this is why Blackboard System is not popular in my college.
But these are only some problems that only occur in my college, and this doesn’t mean that they will happen in other colleges as well. Therefore these cannot be the only points in my response to the issue, *sigh*. Now I would need to start thinking what to write and post them this Friday since I do not have much spare time because the units I took in this semester are quite tough (at least 4 credit hours) and I am definitely don’t wish the same thing happened as the “Introductory to Discrete Mathematics” unit last semester.
