The Difference in Brain between Men and Women

I'm reading  Why Mars & Venus Collide by the author of the well-known Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, and impressed by the differences of men's and women's brain structure. 

I'm particularly impressed by this: 

"A woman's brain has a larger corpus callosum, the bundle of nerves that connects the right and left hemispheres of the brain. This link, which produces cross-talk between the hemispheres, is 25% smaller in men. In practical terms, this means men do not connect feelings and thoughts as readily as women do. In a very real sense, women have superhighways connecting their feelings to speech, while men have back roads with plenty of stop signs. Some researcheers believe that the integration of the two lobes may be the source of "women's intuition" - in other words, whole-brain processing. This stronger connection between different parts of the brain increases a woman's ability to multitask."

I just copy and paste the whole paragraph from the book.

Saying? Maxim? Cliche?

Whatever you call it...

I like this chinese "saying" : 富始一元,诚自一心。(Direct english translation: Wealth begins with one dollar, sincerity comes from one heart)

Have particular feeling when I heard this "saying", it seems to signify something, to remind me something.

I hope I can apply and remember this, etch this as my life principle.

Wonder in Daily Life 1



I've forgotten what causes this already... (Can anyone tell me?)

Our daily life really has many small scientific problems (full of wonders)...

I will keep updating some small or even tiny wonders in life that we miss, that we don't spend time pondering upon it, etc...

Opera Rocks

Just when I was furious about Firefox "turtling" my hectic life, I gave another try to Opera! Why another? It is because two years back I used it and it had an ugly interface and was slow too... 

Now not only the interface is nice but the speed is way faster than the once champion Firefox. I opened Firefox last night and after that opened Opera. Guess what? Opera appeared first with my auto sign-in of email! Nowadays Firefox's loading of GMail is pretty slow, not to say IE (I have abandoned it donkey years ago). You will always see a message if you don't have Google Chrome whereby it prompts you to use it with GMail to make your life faster. But shame on it. It is still way slower than Firefox. Many times, I really don't understand why advertisements can be so misrepresentative! Just like last night I went shopping in Mid Valley. I was so thirsty and went in Carrefour to get a bottle of Bliss (some yogurt drink). When I came out I only realized there was a big booth of Nestle selling all the Nestle yogurt beverages, claiming to be "best buy" things like that. I was kind of regret (I know I am like an aunty). But when I looked up the price tag only I knew it was more expensive than Carrefour! You see how subtle can businessmen be. 

You dare, you win!

This is the principle to survive and stand out. 

Okay hell of rantings. Back to my topic. Opera rocks! 

Nice nice interface...

Another story of a subtle product-Windows 7. I heard it was a repacking of Windows XP and Windows Vista. Interface with Windows Vista, but operating system with Windows XP. WTH is that.... I recalled another sarcastic story given by a passionate nature lover. Whereby she said, our processor speed just relies on the chipset, the subtle thing is that the manufacturer keeps changing the size of it, forcing us to ditch our whole bulky computer just to get a new one with faster speed.

There are more and more subtle stories.  Suddenly recall, in business world, there is another big repackaging-Securitization

An End of Turbulence

Woohoo.... No more exam until the end of this year!!!

Time to retrieve dusty books on the shelve, I know I will love them, as I have been loving them!!!

Went to watch Whiteout and Fourth Kind... Love both of them... I really love Whiteout that genre of movie... Really suit my taste... Whereas for Fourth Kind, it says it might influence our life after watching.. Well, I am wondering about the incident. For me I don't challenge its truthfulness, but about the logic, until now, with my shallow and limited scientific knowledge, I am still wondering how can it happen..

Interesting... There are so many things in this world that are bizarre!
