My Diaries

(July 2011)

2011-07-24: Today I've decided once again to give up continous learning of German, French and Russian, keeping only English competitive and continue to learn Greek a bit. Perhaps I will also give up learning Greek sooner or later.

My high school classmate Mr Fei Jianming, who is now a director of the local agricultural institute, called me and wanted to help me find a job in the city of Huzhou, my hometown.

My marketing efforts over the last four months has yielded nothing, but I will not stop the marketing. Experiences show that when one insists on doing something, in correct way, there will always be results and success. The question is whether or not I am doing the right way, not the right thing. Direct mass emailing seems to have little chance to win client orders, especially when my mass mailing scheme is very old and slow. Lack of propriate website - instead using a free host - is also a factor damaging my business image.

Since coming to Huzhou, I am earger to breed a cat and therefore I am running all over the city to catch one. As a result I was bitten by some cats, and bleeding. Neverless I could get one as my hard efforts. That proves that persistant and hard working are the key to success, regardless what you're trying to do.

Huzhou has become a large city now a large city, with more than a million inhabitants. It is extremely impressive with its new streets, buildings and industrial parks like everywhere in China. Living here is easier than those metropolises like Shanghai or Beijing, which are too crowded and populated. Here in Huzhou one still can buy things from small sellers on the streets, in the living quarters and prices sometimes are cheap - nevertheless the overall price level - except housing - is higher than on those bigger cities.

2011-07-28: By now I am clear that in the future I will no more follow all the past competemcies. In other words, I will start my new life and career by forgetting all what I've done in my past. I will no more learn and practices all other languages - German, French, Russian, Greek and some others, except English; I will no more follow up IT and Internet technologies apart from those needed for maintaining my websites and online activities; I will say goodbye to my university major and industry experiences in thermal sciences and power incl also solar and other renewables, fluiddynamics, thermodynamics etc; I will also no more follow all other expertise I've gathered during my past - quality management, as an example.

What's left? In my future career and life, I will only concentrate on mathematics and English as my sole studies areas, and as far as business is considered, there's no preferrence and likelihood - it is only meaningful that it shall bring sufficient income to me and my family. I have no big plan.

Thus my future life will be much lighter and easier. I will no more be labelled multilinguistic, no more thermophysicist. But I want to be among the top mathematicians. That, I will try to realize in a couple of years, provided that sufficient income flow at steady and stable manner is guaranteed.

My business in yacht, properties and other industries has been stagnating and now I’ve decided to stop all of them, instead I will turn to thermal energy – which is my specialist field – starting from water heaters for household. Later it shall cover all areas of thermal technologies and thermal energy applications to all users.
