Made in Taiwan

In the past, Taiwan was considered as a country of low-priced OEM. I think about a movie called ‘Armageddon”. In a section of the movie, the actor said “America, Russia. All made in Taiwan.” when the machine broke down. In another movie “Fatal Attraction “, the actor opened a broken umbrella, then saying that “Made in Taiwan.” But now this phenomenon has been completely reversed. The trade of Taiwan not only focuses on manufacture of a great quantity but also on products of a brand, and even the producing industry turned its developing goal into high-technology and high-profit.

For example, IPOD, a well-known MP3 company from America, is the best-sale MP3 and MP4 series in the whole world. As long as the new arrival of the product promotes on the market, it is certain to attract somebody’s attention, especially those who have high interest in technological gadget. These products are famous for their delicate quality and fashionable design. Therefore, Taiwanese are able to be very proud of the parts of IPOD made in Taiwan for this brand is an assurance of its quality. That is, the parts made in Taiwan are an assurance of quality now.

Another example is that a company, Acer, is famous for its PC, and sells all over the world. There are a lot of PC companies in the world, and the market of the technological products is very competitive. If a company doesn’t care about the quality of its products, it will be replaced, even closing down soon. However, Acer, our native brand of PC, is well accepted and purchased by people from all over the world. Now, Acer is the third biggest PC enterprise in the world. It stands for the fact that we are not merely able to produce the best parts of a gadget but also to design the product of high-technology.

Above all, with the developing of the technology, the products in Taiwan do not stand for a bad quality at all. People in Taiwan can speak out that we have many best products of quality, and we are supposed to support and purchase the products made in Taiwan as well.

word system

Reading can be a lifelong pleasure, and it’s a long way to go. As long as we open our eyes, everything we watch contains the characters of words. A word can be a concrete or abstract symbol, and word system constitutes a powerful domination of our lives.

As in communication, we use words to describe how we feel and transmit our feeling to the one we talk to. Under this system, we share our feeling with others through words. For example, there is a powerful feeling in our hearts, and we want to search a supportive or a sympathetic companion to comfort our weary heart. If someone adds some suggestion to us, it might be like a compass of a boat in case of getting lost.

As in reading, book is an extreme using of words regardless of the length of the words because the creation of a book is a combination of the author’s thought and the powerful strength of words. Mind is infinite; on the contrary, word is finite. Although a word might seem plain, the combination of common words can create a mighty strength of imagination. For instance, different readers read the same book producing different feeling from the material that the book provides you. According to people who have different living experiences, they will have different explanation and point of view from the same book. Besides, gender is supposed to have influence on the decipherment of reading.

It’s very magical to discover different opinions from people under the domination of word system. As now, I am using this system to write my own opinion.

college life so far

Composition teacher asked me that did you feel blue or uncomfortable when you entered college. His question made me conjure up the first sight I got to NCHU. Although that was not an unpleasant memory, it impressed me a lot. I would never forget the first day I came to NCHU and the first sight I saw when I arrived the dormitory.

At that day, I came to the door of my room, then knocking on the door. The girl who opened the door for me was a Thai girl with a fair skin and delicate facial features. When I got into the room, I saw another roommate of mine tumbling on the bed. She is a Turkish girl with blond hair, white skin, and deep facial features. Two of them welcomed me with a broad smile, and I felt warm. Though at first I didn’t know why my roommates were foreigners, I got well along with them soon. We all knew that there must be cultural difference between nations, such as religion. My Turkish roommate wondered why I had no religious belief. She asked me how I could lead a life without any faith. For me, I led my life with a faith of positive attitude. For her, she kept going her life with a faith of praying to God, and praying gave her strength and courage to face the ups and downs of life.

Through a year of getting on with my roommates, I learned that how to respect difference among people whatever your nation, belief, and background. I cannot expect that every person I encounter will completely have the similar sense of value of mine. It’s a great experience for me to appreciate and get used to the difference. College life is hilarious and colorful so far because I have many chances to meet a variety of people from all over the place.

a long-existing problem of mine

Recently, I found a problem of mine which I have had for a long time, but I didn’t take it serious. My problem is that I am lack of time management. Now I know if I keep ignoring it, it will become more severe than now.

I know that I am always short of taking things in order, so it’s easy for me to forget the order of doing things. Finally, it will cause the piled plans in a mess. I need to learn how to use the least time to do things effectively and make an appropriate schedule. I don’t want to watch my disorder living to gradually destroy the rest of my life. Although it’s natural for people to enjoy a life of joyride, it can’t occupy most part of our time. Otherwise, we will learn nothing except enjoyment, and the tasks which we should do strict are unable to be accomplished roughly. Excess is not a good way for doing everything. Trying to find a good balance and learn how to stay balance is an adequate way to develop myself. I don’t want to pile things up until the last moment. I am sure that it will definitely make me lose balance, even leading me out of control. It’s not good to let things be.

If I can organize the things I need to do perfectly and effectively, I will have more time to develop my interest. God is equal to everyone. He gives everyone twenty-four hours a day. As long as I find the best pace of time arrangement belonging to my own, I will have more time to improve my ability and make me become better and better.

on-sale strategy for women

Recently, almost every department store have been being started a series of on-sale activities. Attracting thousands of customers went shopping as blind bees. That’s true because my sister and I were also the members of them. Last weekend, we went to Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store. We seemed to be possessed as stepping into the department. We saw a lot of crazy women including us buying cosmetics and other stuffs without second consideration, because the price was so alluring that we can’t but buy them. Especially, my sister, a crazy shopper, paid the bill by credit card not only without second thought but also without a blink. Thanks to my reason, I was not out of control.

I think that executives of department store were really full use of people’s shopping habit and well-understand customer’s purchasing psychology and weakness. I observe that arrangement of floor setting is highly related to genders’ consuming habit and customer’s purchasing power and willingness. They know that the majority of consumers are women, so most of the department store put the cosmetics and high-heel shoes at first-floor and these two things are the most popular types in woman’s buying list. Next, most of the department store put the teenager’s fashionable clothes at second floor, and they aim at the young girls’ clothes.The third floor is still woman’s cloth, but the age group aims at mature and elegant ladies. From this phenomenon, I found that the front office of department store never depreciate the buying ability of women. Nevertheless, women seldom make these on-sale strategies disappointed. We often use our shopping talent to prove that their shopping philosophy is correct; otherwise, there isn't a sea of people crowding into department store to rush for buying the specials.
