ITU 2006









昨日,花了三百多元去了ITU2006,果然係國際級展覽,與BASIL FAIR的級數相類似,靚products、靚construction、靚Show,當然有靚人,而且,展出的概念產品,相對於同學仔的設計,實在前了許多,雖然國內公司只係Follower,但也跟得好貼,無奈脫不了俗氣,相較與其他brand,PCCW也算不上國際級,香港館較像旅發局的booth,不知所謂。

LG的機款最多,靚人也多,不過,我這種中坑,實在不甚受歡迎。只是那些靚女的專業知識實在有限,工作態度也不專業,唉!得個樣。

不過其他booth有幾位還不錯,特別係SK有一位介紹RFid的,雖然她很倦,但仍很專業,用有限的知識盡力解說,好!Sharp的也不錯,親切「有腦」,西方的男、女士表現較專業,比較日、韓的人員,較易溝通,也是了解產品的最佳渠道,估唔到在香港睇展覽,用英語多過廣東話,有趣。

回來後,花了一句多鐘才把那些WiMAX,FOMA,ZoiPPE,HSDPA,...等一大堆名字,也算值得的。

小小超,好!

今日從報章得知小小超企出?撐民主,無論佢係真情定假意,都值得叫好。

昨天,和同學仔聊起來,他一直要求我對他的設計,特別是細節的設計提意見,他說日校的阿蛇會「修改」他們的設計,甚至一點一滴,佢地會照改,問他為何有這樣的要求,說到尾,習慣了baby sitting的教學,對自己的想法無mud信心,天啊!HD level喇,做design卻對自的idea同對美的判斷力無信心,似乎設計教育也有問題,原來獨立思考對今日的年青人是如此罕有。

所以,小小超能企出來反商界潮流而行,賣電盈、買信報、逆政府、異父意,隨時一失言成...。講真,我身無分文,輸晒都無所謂,佢的身家咁厚,容mud易...大吉利是。係中國,政治掛帥,mud都可以發生。他比許多政客來得硬朗。

小小超,飲!

感人故事

近日有點冷眼旁觀,不過以下的故事令我有些溫暖感。

A little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned away because it was "too crowded."

"I can't go to Sunday School," she sobbed to the pastor as he walked by.

Seeing her shabby, unkempt appearance, the pastor guessed the reason and, taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday school class. The child was so happy that they found room for her, and she went to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place to worship Jesus.

Some two years later, this child lay dead in one of the poor tenement buildings. Her parents called for the kindhearted pastor who had befriended their daughter to handle the final arrangements.

As her poor little body was being moved, a worn and crumpled red purse was found which seemed to have been rummaged from some trash dump.

Inside was found 57 cents and a note, scribbled in childish handwriting, which read: "This is to help build the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday School."

For two years she had saved for this offering of love.

When the pastor tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would do. Carrying this note and the cracked, red pocketbook to the pulpit, he told the story of her unselfish love and devotion.

He challenged his deacons to get busy and raise enough money for the larger building.

But the story does not end there...

A newspaper learned of the story and published it. It was read by a wealthy realtor who offered them a parcel of land worth many thousands.

When told that the church could not pay so much, he offered to sell it to the little church for 57 cents.

Church members made large donations. Checks came from far and wide. Within five years the little girl's gift had increased to $250,000.00--a huge sum for that time (near the turn of the century). Her unselfish love had paid large dividends.

When you are in the city of Philadelphia, look up Temple Baptist Church, with a seating capacity of 3,300. And be sure to visit Temple University , where thousands of students are educated.

Have a look, too, at the Good Samaritan Hospital and at a Sunday School building which houses hundreds of beautiful children, built so that no child in the area will ever need to be left outside during Sunday school time.

In one of the rooms of this building may be seen the picture of the sweet face of the little girl whose 57 cents, so sacrificially saved, made such remarkable history. Alongside of it is a portrait of her kind pastor, Dr. Russel H. Conwell, author of the book, "Acres of Diamonds".

This is a true story, which goes to show WHAT GOD CAN DO WITH 57 CENTS.
