Well, today, a friend of mine asked me whether he should do something or not.

I answered, "well, try it, you can learn from mistakes you made." Don’t worry that you may make mistake if you do something.

We should accept the idea that making mistakes is part of our lives. Allowing us making mistake and have courage to try new things. If we’re worry about making mistake, then we will do nothing and be stagnated.

Just do it, and learn from mistakes you made.

Few, if not none, will admit that s/he is a lazy guy. But I do find that some are lazy, as least I think so.

As far as I concerned, many things we can (learn to ) do them by ourselves. Teachers can be in many forms. Internet is always the best teacher, and free, that we can turn for help at any time.

I like to use Google and Wikipedia. Of course, many people use Google, but few have taken time to learn how to use those advanced skills of how to use it. you want to know? Why not click "Advanced search" at the right of the searching box? Take some time reading how to use them. If there are still something you are not familiar with and want to know more, why not use help and google itself to help you?

Don’t stay at your previous status. If you do something that consumes you lots of time and you find it’s tedious and you want to find a better way to do it or solve a problem, why not search it by internet?  The more you search, the more quicker you can (and sometime you can’t) answers for your questions, and you will become more sensitive to how to use the right key words and which information you should read and sometimes work as a website crawler to seek information you want from the internet.

Wiki(www.wikipedia.org), don’t miss it. If something you have no concept, search it in wiki. Most of the time, I found what I searched in it.

Everything you want to learn takes your time, and the time you spent on studying will pay back. You will save lots of time and rewards from your study. Some people sometimes asked me how I know so many things, skills, methods. the answer it, if I don’t know, I will search it. Besides, new things always intricate me, when I encounter new things, I will take time to read more and test when it interests me or not.

Taking I have subscribed so many blogs by google reader( you don’t know what is google reader? why not search it?) for instance. These blogs I subscribed are from kinds of ways, by my friends, by google, by douban, by the articles I read.

You should be diligent, sensitive, aggressive and positive, and, take actions. Of course you will make mistake, take it easy, everyone makes mistake, only if s/he do nothing.  If you just stay there and do nothing, nothing will change.

      一个同学打电话问我对他做一个决定的看法。在两个选择上，他有些不确定到底选择哪一个。显然，任何一个决定都是有风险的。我只是再次提醒他关注于两个选择之间的风险和回报，关注重要的因素，而不是被眼前一些其实并不重要的事情所影响。

      我所说的只是我的想法，最终还要他自己做出选择。在给建议的时候，我会毫无保留。我的理念是，只有在坦诚的情形下给出的建议才能够帮助他更好地思考。如果考虑他未来可能会因为不理想的结果而对我有所看法，那我就不可能给出具有实质性作用的建议。因为我这样的话，我考虑的重点不是帮助他解决问题，而是如何才能避免日后遭受埋怨。

      我坦诚地说出我的看法，只是最后补充了一句。听别人的意见，做自己的决定，自己承担结果，永远都不要去抱怨给你建议的人，而是应当心怀感激之情。只有这样，你才能在每次向别人征求意见的时候，听到让你有所思考的建议。
