What’s more import to one’s success – soft skills or hard skills?

Coming from a software development background, I used to think hard technical skills are everything. I even looked at people without the technical skills with pity, and wonder how anyone can possible do any meaningful work without a deep understanding of all the intricacies of technology.
Fast forward 4 years, my career has taken quite [...]

Jonathan一岁了

刘健和邓涛是我们的好朋友。所以当我们听说他们的公子Jonathan要开生日party,我们当然要参加了。
我们从小看Jonathan长大(其实他也才一岁),他从小就很白,而且特别喜欢作出一幅无辜的样子。而我们妞妞也喜欢作出一幅无辜的样子,真是非常“相配”。
这是妞妞第一次参加朋友的生日party,对她来说意义重大。所以我们给她穿上了最漂亮的粉红色外衣,戴上piyo-piyo帽子,象个小公主。
我们到的时候吓了一跳,好多朋友已经到了, 一共有5个孩子(包括妞妞),两个孕妇和十五六个大人,这个哭,那个闹,简直是鸡飞狗跳。我们因为要给妞妞喂奶,所以去得有点晚,觉得有些不好意思。好在大家都能理解。
我上次看见Jonathan,是在四个星期前。那次我和JY都觉得好像他一下子长大了好多,头比原来大了一大圈儿,不过还是很可爱。
刘健和邓涛准备了丰富的晚餐,我尤其喜欢恩泉作的夫妻肺片。
吃完晚饭后,开始拆Jonathan生日礼物。凯波送给他一个超大的玩具,我和JY都在想,我们家这么小,如果凯波也送个我们的妞妞这么大个玩具我们该怎么办。我们送给Jonathan一双New Balance的鞋,六号大。刘健跟我提过他又给Jonathan买鞋,所以JY和我决定给他买双我们喜欢牌子的。
当拆礼物快结束的时候,妞妞大概是因为刺激过渡开始闹了,我们就提早告退了。好在妞妞一上车就睡着了。一到家妞妞睁开眼睛就扑在姥姥的怀里委屈得大哭。那个晚上妞妞睡得特别好(可能是白天兴奋了)。
我和JY商量想等妞妞一岁的时候也给她办同样的生日Party.
下面是几张我照的照片。
