it has been a while....
I feel alone....I know I'm alone
I've sought out this blog several times based in China and it has taken several attempts through the great firewall that I've actually made it through.
I look back on these several years since college and so much has passed by since that first day that I started working and officially moved away from my parents protective microcosm. Six years later, I managed to move farther away to a distant country, that despite all the tell-tale signs that I should leave for fear of health related concerns, I still muster up the courage to flounder around in this industrial wasteland.
Key highlights to this past two years in China
1) I found a job that I enjoy sincerely, my boss, my coworkers, the line of the work I do. It is finally an area where I'm interested in and entrepreneurial enough that I can have a say in making a deep impact into an already successful business... I look forward to the day that I've gained enough knowledge to lead the business into the next level of expansion
2) I'm tired of living in China, but I can't imagine moving back to the states. I know I miss the green grass, clean food, and suburbia lifestyle that I once was spoiled with. Every time I see that american movie with the row of neighborhood houses with front and backyards lawns, a little part dies in me knowing that I'm missing out on the comfortable life that I gave up moving out to the Orient.
3)I've been cheated so many times here in China, plain sight robberies don't even phase me. I witnessed a woman get run over by a fruit truck 30 feet from me the other day... the first thing that came to mind was if I go over and help them, will they still my wallet or will they blame me for their injuries..... it was one of those moments that you say ....."you know you've live in China to long when....."
4)I've used school as my cover to hide my recent absence of social integration... but essentially there are other reasons why I can't seem to hold a deep connection with society these days: one being the transient nature of living in a metropolitan city, two being the reset onset of all my other good friends being plucked away one by one to the fairy tale life of having a family, and the third being something more personal that I'm unwilling to share at this point.

第三天－ 贸易组织
中国经济快速发展。是唯一的国家很成功面对世界经济哀退。进入了世贸组织与投资了繁多国际债务和天然资料帮助了稳定中国经济。
中国政府施行了许多的政策以便改善了经济到现在的情况。 最明显是政府以前垄断所以的行业与商业。自从改革开放，中国越来越宽商业程序吸引跨国企业。目前，有外商独资企业，中外合资企业，中外合作企业。况且，各个行业规定逐渐符合国际标准。
总的来说， 中国经济发展产生了很多成功公司，提高了生活标准， 增加了国际贸易。现在即便很多国家拖且借款，中国的强大经济和广大投资与资源引起世界最稳定和强劲国家之一。
第二天 －中文纪录
这些生词比较难写一偏文章。所有的词是关于广交会。我通常能习惯写关于自己的事情。
由于我跳槽了那么多次，在我家庭与朋友中，我被誉为， “dabbler". 看起来，我没有一分工作我待在了多一年. 可能如果我继续这条路， 我被成为，“万事通”。以前，我做过工程，采购，物流。不过，我还没找到我的理想工作。我发觉一分工应该很有意思与可持续发展工作并重。我自己的生活理念是要活的开开心心。有人要简简单单谈世界，有人在事业上要慢慢发展。个人有个人的想法。我自己还没知道我, 在工作上要做什么。生活是一个流程，可不是一个地位或心境。人得好好审核生活的详细。比如说，什么事情让你有微笑，什么事情让你有满足感觉，什么是一个真实梦想, 等等。很难得到你自己无环境，特别是父母影响，的理想。是因为你为自己生活赚钱，得到真正的幸福和愉快，凭自己找到你的理想。

trying to use my broken chinese.... please help me correct!
为了提高我的中文水平，我得开学中文。我打算每天学一门关于生意的课, 以便在中国工作的时候给我多机会。今天的课内容是关于物流.
从我毕业之后，我换了几分工作。以前是工程师，然后，做过一些关于供应链物流的工作。过了两年，我越了解业务流程越对营业管理有了好奇感觉。我发觉我应该改工作到一个能接触所有商业部门的工作. 后来，我半路出家到战略顾问行业。我以为最有效的办法摸索业务流程是利用顾问的角度来理解个个商业方面。后来经验这个行业我才发现， 纯战略顾问行业不是我本来想的工作。， 因此我跟顾问公司跳槽。我找到了跨国公司中国工作机会。新兴市场工作有那么多的前景和潜力， 我何乐而不为。
虽然中国的人力,物力, 财力资源都很丰富，美国与中国市场相比， 中国还面临很多经济，政治，与环境挑战。美国和中国的差距越来越小。最近二十年，中国施行了许多的政策，步步发展先进技术和基础设施帮助改善中国经济市场。由于中国持续不断的发展， 我选的工作机会应该是最好的选择。
最目前的急需改善挑战是中国医疗情况。医疗改革市场调查指出医疗服务奇缺和超负荷地医疗专业人士。当市场接触困难与匮乏，人能找机会发展营业。

and isn't it ironic
Most people wouldn't even think twice about the happiness that floods their life with opportunities in abundance. But for me, new to this feeling of belonging, a cure for nostalgia is undecidely a great challenge in thought. Thought provoking me to delve into the intricacies on why life offers such cyclic anomalies. Learning from the past to structure a better road for the future is a simple experience I shouldn't even question once. But time and time again, I am frustrated by the thoughts stimulating these seemingly 'tipping point' decisions. It is, indeed, a battle of familiarity and concious effort against the varying dimensions of space.
我会做什么？
我会做什么？

继续存在 (continuing to exist)
这两个月生活过很困难。大多数是因为工作压力太大影响我的私人生活方式。
最近， 有两个理由我在继续用blogger。 第一个原因是我的朋友刚开始用 blogger, 写他每天锻练安排， 提醒我好长时间没用。第二个原因我脑子理有太悬而未决思想我要篇出来同时练习中文。
在今年年初，由于我决定最优时间开始铁人三项锻炼， 我停止我的 Gold's Gym 会籍。我申请当地的YMCA会籍 ， 然后 尝试Crossfit 之后，一个星期之内决定了 Crossfit 在锻炼方面比较有效 然后停止我的Y 会籍。 怎么描述Crossfit ， crossfit 是一种强烈健美操课专门让你锻炼倒竭尽。在详细一点，是个非常计划的有氧举重锻炼方式。我自信心说是为了多情热心要做超级人的人。三个月之后， 我离开了Crossfit健身中心 是因为我失败了适应到工作压力和活动竭尽。
“中年危机“。 它们真的存在呢？看来，可能是我自己遭受一种严重非决定性的毛病。我是一个计划者。对我来说，很自然想到明天，明年，未来的安排。但是我现在根本不知道。 在这个六个月轮岗中， 我想到我跟生产苦干不太合适。六个月的经验足够了。所以对于我是什么意思？我浪费半年的时间与经验在一个我不会在继续工作的行业。

---------------------------------------
At the beginning of the year I quit Gold's Gym and decided it would be an optimal time to start training for a triathlon and what better place than to go to the local Y. I joined impulsively and a week later I quit and joined another gym called Crossfit. Crossfit can be described as an intense aerobic class designed to push one to the limits physically and mentally by pressuring you to do cardio weight lifting exercises against time. A very well-designed and novel idea for improving the health and athletic ability of oneself, I am content to say it is for the people passionate and fervent on becoming the world's superman. Three and half months later, I quit after giving a failing and half-hearted effort to not being able to adapt to added pressures of work and frequent exhaustion from the workouts.
Quarter-life crisis. Do they even exist? Apparently so, or maybe I'm just suffering from a severe case of indecisive future anal retentiveness that every fledging college graduate experiences. I'm a planner and by nature like to imagine and think about it all too much where I'm going to be, what I'm going to do, down to the lifestyle schedule I would like to follow. This rotation has given me a sharp and bitter taste of an industry that I don't want to involve myself in for anymore years than the 1/2 of year I've already spent in it. So what does this mean for me? That I've already atrophied away my time and experience on something I can't use anymore than a brain surgeon can use an applied art degree.
Each production meeting, I think to myself, how much more interesting would this be to me if it had an inkling of bioscience related to it or if I could tangibly feel the impact I am having on the community. Instead these two short stories are but a dream far far away that can only be reached when my eyelids droop heavily over my pupils. My thoughst of my occupation are turning and twisting in my mind like a rope clamored by two aggressive opposing tug-of-war team. Do I sincerely feel that I could be successfuly in the medical field? Do I want to give up two years to start preparing for the applications of useful nothingness attempting to apply for a medical degree that might too fall in the category of "this is not what I want to be when I grow up." Or would I be content staying in the cut-throat corporate culture of business with undertones of everybody aiming to use everybody else around them to step on them and move ahead one more step on the ladder? I don't know, and I wish did.
For now, I look forward to my next short stint. Three more painful weeks in production, and I move to the land where the state flag flies higher than the US flag, in hopes of redemption of the lost six months that I dreamt of living.
