There’s a saying “slow is smooth, smooth is fast.” Those who react quickly without thought will make mistakes. In the span of a week, the market went from all-time highs to a full panic.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. A saying that originated in the US military, we can also called it “慢则顺,顺则稳” or maybe kind of “欲速则不达”. It has a core concept that applies to a wide variety of situations. The idea is that when we rush and try to do something quickly, we will find ourselves becoming “all-thumbs,” fumbling, making mistakes and the end result is inferior and slower than if we had not rushed at all.
唐纳德·拉姆斯菲尔德 (Donald Henry Rumsfeld),曾领美利坚合众国第13、21两任兵部尚书、小布什内阁中最著名的鹰派、雷厉风行的政治巨星,美军转型总设计师,以及一连串闪亮的头衔。当然,最差防长、不苟言笑、横行霸道、飞扬跋扈、刚愎自用,伊拉克头号战争贩子,诸如此类的世俗标签,也总是与他如影随形。《时代》杂志曾称,拉姆斯菲尔德活着就是为了战斗,就像鲨鱼游泳只是为了寻找食物一样。
Little Pink became the designation for this group of nationalists.
The name became widely attached to young nationalists in China through a series of mass campaigns on overseas social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, which are all officially blocked on the mainland.
The origin of this epithet is as problematic as its popular usage. Most importantly, the majority of Little Pink are not female — and they rarely discuss politics. Attaching a gendered label onto a group of mostly male cyber-nationalists, then, appears to be more than a case of simple mistaken identity. Unlike the widespread notions of Little Pink as a real cyber-movement, analysis finds that Little Pink is a manufactured, mythologized label that was deployed by other cyber groups to challenge and rebuke nationalistic visions.

Today, I was told by a friend that we lost a friend to mammary cancer. She is a friend from my college. We haven’t seen each other since 2011.
My friend was maybe 6-8 weeks pregnant when she knows she has breast cancer. I heard the story was like it’s either she give up the baby and take a surgery immediately, or gamble to take the birth with her life. Then, she decided to roll a dice.
It’s super lucky that eventually she gave birth to a healthy baby. But sadly everything seems late for saving herself. I could not imagine what her husband is going through for losing his beloved.
Actually, we’ve never been close. In the old days I was quite cool to her because I didn’t like naughty girls and she was not good-looking. Shame on me! Easily judged someone by their appearance and I was not exception. I haven’t witness many deaths, and I think I lost my conscious for a while recalling all my memories about her. I’m proud to have known such a kind, warm and brilliant woman. Also reminds me that being just healthy, is the biggest blessing of all.
My friend, my prayers and thoughts are with you and with those you left behind. You will be dearly missed by us all. R.I.P
