Learning & Creating with Many Smiles-- Shirley's 122nd Friendly Greeting-- Sun, Jan 13, 2008

Hi,Dear Friends

How are you? I do hope that you are well and have an easy and relaxed weekend.

This week, except my daily work, I am creating a new business job for the company: to make a weekly, monthly, quarterly or longer time's industry researching.

I have been feeling that a company must know the last news in our own industry and in the other industry that perhaps is affecting us. So, I always read and make reading notes before attending the manager meeting every morning and to remind the managers to pay more attention the news points, the changing of laws, regulations and policies, the last actions of the top companies not only in the securities industry in China, but also the greatest companies, such as Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Bloomsburg and Reuters, to know the newest economy policies in the U.S., European Union, Japan, OPEC and so on... to follow the steps of the world economy and technology developing...

Along with the time, I do not think that the simple remind is enough. I do think that I should do something to order, to comment, to mention out of the inspiration that I have felt and thought, to lift them to be some new viewpoints, to share them with more people, especially the management layer, to help the company to develop better and faster. After all, we are focusing ourselves on the continuously innovation and creating; after all, our dream is to become the best top company in the industry; we must have wider eye-shot and more active mind.

My first trying has gotten the good comments and I am working on creating a working model, then to hand it to the others as I had done always. I am thinking that maybe, I should do something to push the company to found a new research department someday? I am not in a hurry, I need to think of it carefully.

A funny thing is that I just gave forwardly my position as the woman committee director to another colleague on Tuesday. I was informed that to be the vice chairman of the labour union on Wednesday, the woman job is just a part of the labour union. :-) So, I was smiling when I got the news and I have organized someone to fix a labour union column in our inner net as my first job already...

I am busy very much, I am happy in my heart. I feel lucky to have an opportunity to work and to live in the beautiful world via developing and extending my own little bit talent and wisdom to the others and the society every day...

How about you? What are you doing and feeling in the first time in the new year? Do you enjoy your work and life?

Shirley Created Art -- Gouache--0111:Summer
Since I started to learn to paint Gouache , I have painted 10 ones in the past 40 days. I painted this picture while I was "watching" a TV Tuesday night as I do usually. I do not want to miss any last news and information relating to my work; I been used to do two thing at the same time, too. When I was painting this picture, I tried to distinguish the landscape in the far away, middle and near places since I did not do it well in my last paintings. My teacher has not seen it yet and I have not known my marks yet. How do you think of this picture? Do you think that I have made a little bit progress?

Shirley Created Art -- Gouache--0112: Harmoniousness
My teacher is on a business trip. So, I taught myself via reading and painting. After reading some art books, a strong feeling has jumped into my mind: an excellent artist must be at first an excellent person. The art skill is important, the art culture and a person's moral quality are more important. So, even though I want to paint for whole of the time, I keep doing my best on my work in the company and I am still in my office Saturday morning as usual. I would like to express the harmonious between the little brook and the trees with this picture. I do not satisfy with my work. I guess that my teacher would give me 60 marks? How do you think of this picture? Do you like it?


Tilingual Song--002: Shirley Sings the Italian Song --002 " Caro Mio Ben   -- My Dearest" in Italian, English & Chinese
I have learned to sing from my new vocal music teacher for 22 times. It is hard to drive in the night time for a subway project makes some street lights turn off; some roads have been changed temporarily. So I have to guess the basic directions or to follow some buses often. Then, does it deserve to drive for 2 hours for having 1 hour's lesson? Yes, her lessons let me see my problems on singing and in the short 22 lessons, I have got much more than I did in the past 4.5 years over 250 lessons. She does not only teach me to sing, but also she requires me to read music history and textbooks. I cherish her lesson indeed. This weekend, she directed me to review my first Italian song in her lesson. Then, I made a new recording after singing it over 100 times on Sunday. I do hope that my effort will bring you a smile and to be a little bit help to you to improve your Chinese listing level.

Chinese Classical Poem 0093 -- 0058(By Du Fu) & Shirley Created Music-0048£ºJue Ju -- Two Yellow Birds Are Singing on the Jade Green Willow
Du Fu is one the greatest poets in Chinese poetry history. He is also one of my favorite poets. Most of his poems are long with realistic style and deep meaning to reflect the society reality in Tang Dynasty. Anyway, there are also some of them short and bright with delight feeling and bright colors. This poem is just one of them. I have created a piece of music, a picture and calligraphy to match it. Hope it will be a little bit help to you to know more about Chinese culture and to learn Chinese.


I am just a learner on that art of painting, music, calligraphy, languages and to work on the web site in my free time. I would really like to do a little bit things with what I have learned to make this little web site to be An Electronic Bridge Of Culture Exchange, Friendship and Language Learning. To help the others while to improve myself.

I appreciate your understanding, directions and supports. I do hope to get your friendly help...
