The best traits in Human beings

Hi !

My name is Akhil, I am a good friend of Sterding ( and very glad to have been introduset to Zhilin !)

I am a fairly un-experienced young guy (24)
So my aim for the next two years are to try and find out

1.
What I want in life and what education I should choose (study for passion / interrest or just to make money ?)

2.
Gain more experienced in social skill and mature thinking. To better take care of my self in dealings with people and life in general.

3.
understand how the world works. The professional work market, Media, Politics, global economy and try to get a peek in the connection between some of these subjects. (This is an uncontentious goal)

Anyway, this is just a brief introduction of me and what I am busy thinking about these days.


My question to you is ;

What are the best 5 human characters and the worst 5 human characters in your personnel opinion ???

I am asking this question in relation to point 2. in my personal goal:

Enable to have more experience to better take care of my self in dealings with people and life in general.

I think that if YOU know the best 5 - 8 human characteristics that will help you the most to succeed in life then you have a very very very good chance in shaping your life as you wish
and a big chance of getting anything you want. But this is related to experience and wisdom to a great extend. ( Not easy to gain)


Here is my view on the best human charecteristics and the worst .






Best human characters : (top most important)

Motivation (endless energy and will)
Confidence (if you don't try you will never know)
Concentration (efficiency)
Intelligence (efficiency)






Worst human characters : (top is worst)

Dumb (because capable of doing anything and are unpredictable)
Dis honest (those who are not direct are easy to misunderstand)







I will leave it at those. It is better to say few things I mean then much crap I don't believe in.


I would VERY MUCH like to have ' YOUR' feedback to accelerate mine and your growth to a maturing process to become adults who can control their own destiny.

What do you think.

Comments for Zhilin

Nice to receive phone call from Zhilin in the morning.

I had the similar confusion to the future of career development in pure technology, before I left P&G. It depends on one's character, I think. Some people like to work with machine, while some like to work with people. I think for you/us, you just notice the potential need until now. It's absolutely not late, I think. It's very important for one to know what he/she want to be (which is also an ongoing-asked question to myself).

You have very strong purpose to your life. That could be a good thing. Wish you to be rich inasmuch as you intend to be.

From my side, I only could offer two ideas for you currently.
1. Try to search www.goabroad.dk to find any chance to be a Chinese/English teacher in some foreigner countries; also you could find some study chance in business field, like Akhil (he had more experience in this way).
2. Keep in mind that Africa could be a candidate place with good potential in market. I am sure Africa countries (not all) would become the next China in 5-10 years, because the big population and huge need of goods there. And 'luckily'(only in business point), Africa people prefer to welcome Chinese companies, instead of USA ones (I read news that Sudan once refused the American firms, but kept the Chinese one). So, why not have a try, if there is chance and it's safe?

Condom Applicator

For Usual behaviours, responsibility is a must; For Sexual behaviors, responisbility has no excuse to be neglected. For the sake of preventing AIDS spreading out or promoting the usage of condom, a South African, Willem van Rensburg has invented a Condom Applicator for us which is released by Pronto. This Condom Applicator can let you plug in swiftly, just in a wink in which you are now free from the burdon of using teeth to tear or the risk of cutting off your fingers, or worse still, awkward chaos by those amateurs.

Reply to Akhil

I may make a confusing expression to the purpose of this website. Actually, it does not uniquely aim to set up the business plan between us in the future; (it's also too early for us) it aims to collect any creative ideas and any new things that come to our eyes at the first moment. For example, you told me that there was a news about "the cheapest minicar invented in India". For you, that's a news, and a particularly interested news, because it could change into a good business chance. Sure, you could share with me by phone, or you may ignore it and forget it. Why not collect the innovative ideas/news like this and share with we guys? That's the point where the website initiates. I am sure if Jiang Nanchun, the Chinese guy who changes a sudden idea into a 6 billion $ company in 2yr, looks back to the career of his MediaFocus, he must feel very lucky that he did not ignore the tiny spark that flashed in his brain. We could be able to do that, too. I think there are at least 4 reasons for us to do that.

• Keep updated of our mind with new/fashion things;
• Share the idea and absorb critical comments for that;
• Connect us guys who supposed to do business later;
• Hire or get to know more people with similar interests.

For instance, your idea of "selling documentary films" could be a better and more applicable one after you shared and discussed with me. Right? :)

我来挪威的一些想法 (My ideas when I live in Norway)

我来挪威最初衷的想法不是来拿那张文凭，而是出来看世界。今天跟阿道打完电话（还有那天跟智林也说过），心里就在想：对啊，我应该做个有心人，把自己在挪威生活这些日子看到听到想到的关于挪威有特色，跟中国有区别（简言之就是有市场）的地方整理出来，将来机会成熟了，大家一起创业的时候说不定可以借鉴，甚至作为起点呢！

少废话了，简要列一下今天晚上谈话中列到的若干火花：

1. 挪威信封，免胶水，可重复利用，值得国内推广，但是想法太小，而且复制性太强，不值得作为一个创业的点子；(Glueless-Envelope in Norway)
2. 意大利看到的洗脚器，放在马桶旁边，比马桶矮，喷热水；适合老人和小孩洗脚用；(Toilet Foot-washer in Italy)
3. Bergen的公交公司最近在座位下有车轮突出物的地方加高座位，让乘客不至于感到没地方放脚，好想法，方便乘客；(Increased seat above the wheel position on Norway bus)
   
4. 挪威鱼油是否可以进口到中国？既然中国目前进入了一个以健康为主题的发展社会；（export Norwegian Fish oil to China）
5. 在国内开一家类似于IKEA产品的小店，创意家居，饰品，房间布局设计。。。挪威有很多这种小店，如何复制到中国？(open house-style design stores like IKEA in China)
   
6. 欧洲发达的网上订票（火车票，飞机票）系统能否在中国开展？能否在各个火车站设立像挪威一样的自动售票机器？（可能涉及到中国政府保障就业的问题，未必可行）(Develop the web-based ticket booking system in China, and the vending machine at the train station)
   
7. 因为思想、观念改变带来的机遇。比较笼统，只是觉得5-10年后的中国在人的行为思想方面可能跟现在的欧洲很接近（譬如婚姻，夫妻要小孩，消费趋势），能否通过了解现在的欧洲去预测3-5年内中国蕴藏的机会；(chances following up the changes of concept in the China in the coming 3-5 years)

只是一些很粗糙很简单的想法，权当抛砖引玉。我想我们几个人（或者更多其他的人）都可以贡献自己的idea，交换想法，同时也希望可以吸引更多的有识之士加入进来。

Can we fly? ---- Open words

We supposed to have our mind sharp and young through taking shower in the pool of new creative ideas, which might change the people's life or the world in the next 5 or 1o years. That's the main reason we set up this site. Sure, nothing is impossible. Nobody knows that Larry and Sergey could make money when they created Google in a garage 9 years ago. To make money via one of these ideas, to do business is of course not only the byproduct for the website. We want to be rich, both in concept and in money！

很早之前就有这个冲动：把自己看到、听到、想到的点子收集起来，说不定哪一天会因此改变自己和别人的生活，就像江南春当年因为一个小小的创意创下了“两年 缔造分众60亿市值”的传奇一样。我们生活在一个急剧变化、极富创意、亟需改变的时代，当我跟阿道、智林讲完电话的时候，我们都还是20多岁！我决定建立这个blog，不是期待她变成将来像google一样赚钱的网站，而是提醒自己：Keep young mind and sharp eyes to the world. 时代属于我们，不要让自己落伍、老化！
