    What would happen in a 'No-Man-World'?

    First come to my head is cockcoaches.
    And very many of them.
    They are crawling, jumping and flying everywhere.
    Very likely they are the one to rule the World immediately after us!

    And secondly, plants.
    Again, lots of them will suddenly growing wildly and freely with enough water and sunlight.

    You'll find here in the book that what most likely would happen. Interesting and worth us a serious thought.

    老人家一矢中的, 拳拳到肉, 一針見血式的POV不是一般等閒泛泛之輩能輕易辦到, 模仿或企及...

    雖然每次 (亦即每篇文章吧) 只有一分鐘左右的短速時間, 亦難不到這位擁有數十年挖掘時弊經驗的老手, 無論日常瑣事, 政經哲學抑或天文地理, 他都有一番獨到的見解.

    人家花了這麼多年把最精要的心血都拿出來讓你一次性據為己有了, 還不快點說聲多謝然後閉關自修?

    Sometimes too logical would be boring. So I am wondering if we can have a book collecting 50 wild imaginations for our future? That would be more interesting!

    No particular reasons, just why not...
    Well, that the way things have always been, right?

    I think I have to (but have not yet) thank Mrs Kung for helping me to become a bookworm there after.

    And yet the book/story itself had given me so much hope and encouragement that from then on I believe small guy not only can win but also can win big!

    Thank you very much Mrs Kung! Deep from my heart, I love you!

    It's too America focused and I hope we can have a wider vision on the whole world.

    After all, trend doesn't always start or come from US. They may just start from any of us!

    Anyway it still a good book to read and at least we can learn what it's like working behind a Starbucks store and what the Starbucks corporate culture is all about...

    The Wisdom of Textbook

    It's creatively written so that we can creatively read.

    No chapter nor order, just paragraph by paragraph, yes, point by point.

    We can start reading at any page, at anytime. Even start reading from the last page backward.

    It's creatively written so that we can creatively read.

    No chapter nor order, just paragraph by paragraph, yes, point by point.

    We can start reading at any page, at anytime. Even start reading from the last page backward.

    But the crucial thing is we can't just read it once. It's better to read it from time to time, again and again. This is how we can adjust the way we think and act.

    It's about wisdom but not textbook, But how GREAT it is if all textbooks are written in this way...

    A story talking about almost the same thing, well of course not exactly.

    I don't want to release any more details about this fascinating story here otherwise it may distroy your mood.

    I think this is a science fiction very close to reality.

    Highly recommended!
