Diary 0718_ The fundamental of Science Research and Language

It is a long time to live in School as a student. I learn so many courses and learn how to become a good researcher now.

I have learnt some programming skill and try to understand the computer.
I have learnt some mathematical stuffs and try to use them to solve some problems.

And I have learnt some other skills such as sports, music and culture, and try to understand how to have a joyful life.

In all these courses, I think there should be some fundamental stuffs. For badminton, the back quad high far ball, running style and power are the basic.

For Basketball, the control of ball and shoot are the basic skills. For music, try to communicate with the author is the basic thing.

For a good researcher, I think the basic skill is the logical analyse of problem by using of mathematical language.
For a good Language user, I think the base skill is to native think of everything in life, just like this article to think about what is the basic skill of a good
researcher and a good Language user.

After figuring out the basic skill of a good researcher and English user, I need to practice the basic again and again.

I need to solve problem by logical analyse, what is the problem, how to solve it.

I need to think in English almost each time. Writing English Diary, and speak with friends in English.

F: It will be a long time before  you get the golden handshake. Me, I may be ready for the early retirement.

M: Are you seriously thinking about taking the early retirement package the company is offering?

F: I'm thinking about it. My health isn't getting any better, and I don't want to spend the rest of my days in the office.

M: But, can you afford it?

F: The early retirement package is pretty generous. And I have saved up a nice little nest eggs over the years.

M: Then, what are you waiting for? If I were in your suites, I wouldn't hand and haw about it. I make the decision to retire now, today.

F: Why are you getting all work up. Are you after my job?

M: No way. I just can't stand to see someone who can retire stay at this job. I trace the place with you in the minute.

F: I doubt that. Not the man in the car caring member  of AARP. You are too young to think about the retirement.

M: I didn't say I was ready for retirement.  I am just thinking about it all the time.

ESL 0707 588:Hiring business consultants

F: So your suggestion is to hire outside consultants to handle those extra work associated to the expansion. 

M: I think there are a lot of benefits. We get someone with the right expertise quickly. We can use him or her as need it. And we can save an employ tax and benefits. What is not to like?

F: I am just not sure that's the right move right now.

M: To me, it is a no brainier. We call the shots. If we don't like the consultant's work, then we can terminate our relationship at anytime. 

F: Yes, but that also means the consultant won't feel any company loyalty. And could working with us whenever he or she wanna to,  leaving us in the lurch.  

M: That is true. But that is also true for any employee. Company loyalty is thing of the past. I really think we should move ahead. 

F: Well, I think we should take it one step at a time. Start with constructing consultant for smaller projects and see how they do before we have them work on this big one.

M: Ok, I can live with that as long as we don't drag our feet and getting people start on the big project. 

F: Don't worry. If I drag my feet, I know your toll me along.
