工业设计

工业设计对于产品来说是至关重要的，没有好的设计，产品就不会受欢迎。在中国，工业设计仍然处于起步阶段，特别是国内的企业，对这方面很不重视，所以国内的工业设计公司的主要客户，是那些试图进入中国的跨国企业。国内的设计师能更好地把握国人的需求，而且成本比国际上的公司要低，这为国内工业设计行业提供了很好的机会。

清华美院为社会培养了很多优秀的工业设计师，现在国内很多有名的设计公司，它们的主力军都是清华美院毕业的学生或教授。当我进入美院新盖的大楼时，能够强烈感受到设计带给我的冲击！跟冷冰冰的FIT楼截然不同，美院大楼给了我一个思考的环境。

之前看商业周刊中文版，里面有一篇文章提到，现在工业设计学院越来越炙手可热，很多大公司都愿意出高薪聘请相关专才，而商学院也开设了很多跟工业设计相关的课程。这些都说明工业设计对一个企业的成功是很重要的。如果有机会，我也想进修一下工业设计，哈：P

创新的思考

最近看了几本商业杂志，发现一个共同的话题：创新。中国正处于从劳动密集型向知识型经济过渡的时期，创新对于国内的企业来说至关重要，但是“创新”一词理解起来却相当抽象，所以不同企业对它会有不同的解释。不过我觉得有一点应该是共通的，就是“创新并不仅仅是闭门造车，而是要切合市场需求”，为了创新的创新，是无法推向市场的。

看到一篇文章，里面提到中国曾经有辉煌的创新史，四大发明对人类发展影响深远，可惜并没有形成一个创新的系统，也就是不能可持续发展。而西方国家却于近代形成了一种这样的系统，虽然创新是灵感的体现，却是有法可循的，关键是对经验的总结和周围环境的了解。回想我自己，也缺乏这方面的努力，相反把运气作为自己失败的借口，“吾日三省吾身”，还是很有道理的。

Ubuntu

My desktop is reborn today! I bought a mother board and a hard disk from second-hand market. Thoung the hard disk's size is only 6.4G, it's enough for me to install an Ubuntu on it. I'm surfing in the world of Linux now.

To play Linux was difficult for a beginner, but Ubuntu does it well. "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word that means "humanity to others". I hope I also can do it, "humanity to others"!

fighting!

lots of thing to do... I need to over them with full power!

I had an IBM's interview which will influence with me to get the offet this morning. My performance wasn't good enough, especially in the group interview. I doubt now... maybe consulting isn't suitable for me...

My job

Campus Recruitment is coming, but I feel so confused that what job is? which job is suitable for me? I have no idea... Fortunately, I find a direction on z2's blog.

"My job can help others as more as possible, especially for the poor."

Although I'm just a sand in the society, I have to try my best to help others. Follow my heart!

Seeking a place to travel

My summer internship was end at last week, so I'm free now~~ Working is hard, so I'm seeking a place to travel and relax. My new term will begin on 9.16. I have one week free time to enjoy my life. Budget and time are two factors I have to consider, so such as XiZang which I want to go so much isn't in my plan this time. What a pity!

According to the information from internet, I have already focused on three places, ShanDong, HeNan & HeBei. These threes places are all near by Beijing, so I can handle the schedule more easily. Sharp and mounttai want to travel by cycle. I can hardly join them because I worry about my body can hardly bear this challenge, haha.

Expecting the coming trip!

Time to depart

I haven't made a new post on this blog for a long time. 1 year isn't a long time in my whole life but the past 1 year is very important for me! 7 months' life in india is a great experience. I know more about myself in those 7 months.

A new batch is going to depart. It recalls my memory in last year. We all didn't know what would happen in the coming 7 months. It's mysterious and exciting!

I can't image what i'm doing now if I didn't go to india. Working in Beijing? Working in Macau? Studying? or doing nothing? Thanks Infosys and Tsinghua gave me this opportunity and my family's support.

come back after a long time...

I haven't updated this blog for a long time. I liked blogger at the first time but it was banned during sometime. It made me abandoned this blog......Anyway, I have came back!!! I'll use my poor english to express my feeling and record my life.

My experience in India have changed my point on English. I noticed that English is very important for me to know the world and also, the world know me.:)
