A Little Recessive Business Mindset

So, I never identify myself as someone with business personalities.
I do not like competitions in general.

Just now, i realized how things you learned daily could really affect you inside......


Last night, a new friend just randomly walked into my apartment and started to chat with me and my dear roommate. Somehow, he mentioned he served his mission in NYC for two years and lived in Brooklyn area.....My roommate and I were impressed, and yelled it out:
My roommate: "Wow! It's so dangerous!"
Me: "Wow! It's so expensive!"
At the same time, exactly.


Really the moment i was thinking how it could be the most expensive rent someone could ever pay, but obviously my roommate's comment was humaner.
Shame on me....Well, that's why I am a business student.



So, we learned "sunk cost" in my finance class, while i noticed there were actually 5 girls out of 40 student in my class.
Sunk cost is simply the cost you spent that should not affect your future decision making.
Like, the TV show I watched last night, how the guy disagreed to break up with her girl friend after spending so much time, love and money on her. He probably noticed they wouldn't fit each other, but still couldn't let it go. He STILL wanted to get married, just as a result.
Dude, the time, love,and money are sunk cost here. It's once done, and gone forever and cannot be recalled. In this way, why don't you make a better-off decision?


If you emotionally cannot let the sunk cost go, you will lose more.





CRAZY BUSINESS MIND...

Something about my beautiful mom

So 2 mins ago, my bishop stoped by my apartment and asked me if I want to give a talk on my mom next Sunday, on Mother's Day.
Why not? Giving a talk is never hard for me, even though English is not my first language.
I actually love performing, singing or talking, in front of people in a public event....usually.

MY MOM?! Let me see..........hmm....

Someone I love so much and can exchange my life for

someone who has a stronger heart than me

someone has the total control over her family with love, respect and authority

someone never ever showed her sorrow in front of me, not that i could remember

someone who obtains nice skin. My mom is pretty and elegant, non-biased. Cuz she's my mom, i never realized that she was pretty before.

Someone who has a bad temper and is able to explore her anger easily, all at one time...well, she never saved it for later and never got mad at someone for a longer time as well.

Someone who lost her own mother while she was in high school.

Someone who is the middle of the five girls in her family, and played a heroic,big-brother role.

Someone who told me that if you loved a guy, as a girl, you should not easily tell him so....this way, he would get more addicted to your affaction. haha, funny huh? but sometimes, she's right, at least in her relationship with my dad.----this point is so Chinese!!

Someone who once got super mad at me when i did not appreciate someone's help with true kindness.

Someone who shared nothing in common, in terms of religious views. She doesn't think about that subject, and I am a mormon.

Someone always keeps giving me a confirmation that I am a nice girl and one day I will find someone who deserves a really cheerish, nice guy to marry.

Someone who wants me to be happy, lovable and kind.

Someone who wins everyone's love and respect in my family.

Someone who is lucky, confident and supportive in her marriage and the man whom she married to.

Someone who keeps her eyes on a big family,  my cousins', my aunts' and uncles' lives.

Someone who was borned in the Year of the Horse as I was. She was definited as a "happy, wealthy but exhausting horse", while I am supposed to be a "generous, careless and content one."





There are whole a lot more....






Some of my Chinese friends joked on me, maybe they ain't joking....
" You know, your mom is so pretty and elegant, she has well-defined features on her pretty face .....you don't look like her at all.......maybe you look like your dad."(they never saw my dad.)
THANK YOU??!
I feel sorry for my dad.


My mom is a pretty woman. She is my world.
