Over the years I have worked at many client sites and a variety of office layouts. On one project in particular, we had as many as 80 people in a project team, seated via an open plan arrangement. It was pretty difficult trying to stay focused in an environment like this. These days, the projects I’m on are typically smaller, but there are still a number of distractions which frequently interrupt

Recently I read the Chinese-version book "The logic of Life, uncovering the new economic of everyting". In English, the orginal name is "The Logic of Life: The Rational Economics of an Irrational World".It is very interesting to tell me about the basic ecomomic theory implied in the life.Even if you found Thomas L. Friedman's The World Is Flat a smidge, um, one-dimensional, there's something to
