今天早上翻开老爸给我的信，几乎是每天一封。 他怎么能对我那么好呢？ 即使多年不见面，打电话的时候还是瞬间可以猜到我的心思，真是神哪。。。年初和家里闹翻了，这是第一次我们对未来的方向没有一致的想法。我知道他是出于一种保护意识，但是我生来可能就是一个斗士，像他一样。

可爱的教练Sean

今天去练球，看到教练Sean正在教一个小孩，但是一点也不像上课，完全是在玩。小朋友每打中一个球，教练比小孩还开心，还和小孩来high five. 小朋友可开心了，大叫一旁的老爸，" Dad. See? Oh, you missed seeing my shot. It's cool." 惹得一旁的大人（包括我）都莫名的开心。以前一直拒绝学高尔夫的我，总觉得嫌它慢，是谈生意的人摆摆样子的。可是现在我觉得打球的时候才是我最放松的时候，而且这项运动很锻炼耐心和坚持力。难的不在于打一个好球，而在于不打一个坏球。

Boring...I am now in the office...I guess I need an interactive robot to accompany me...I feel lonely so easily...

我好喜欢今天早上研究oil&gas公司的白发老头。他说话条理清楚，回答起问题来都不用思索。要是我有机会在他手底下干就好了。好羡慕啊。

这几天脑子里胡思乱想的成分占了大半，老板布置的任务还没有什么眉目。我要加油了。

I always don't understand why people use drugs that take away their lives and bring so much suffering. Why can't people focus on more interesting things in their lives and take on their responsibilities? I guess that I can never figure it out.

Mexico is a promising emerging market. But drugs an violence bring so much uncertainty to the country.

West Africa has great agriculture resources (60% of the total revenue), oil and other natural resources. The land degradation will hamper the sustainable growth.
West Africa is a region with great resources but there are many bad governments that damage their economy.
