Tips for myself

左岸咖啡 发表于 2009-06-09 02:57:59

I have focused on the language test for days. And there is still a huge space for me to move on. 
I realize that learning a new language is far more than large amount of  words that I have memorized. While it is true that lack of necessary words will be an obstacle to communication. the most significant fact that influence people to learn new language is how hard you are able to push yourself involved in really life by using such language.

 
I think I should give a short term plan as the following:

1.build up  my confidence when I speak a foreigh lanagage. 
1)  take initiate to talk to strangers, and maybe something is just like  " hello" welcome or simple things that happed in real life,
2) tell myself keep relexy, actually, it dosen't matter to make some mistakes as a beginner. But the most important thing is that I should learn from every single pieces of mistake and make sure that I never do it again.
3) spend more time on activities outside the campus. at such activities, I will meet people to share our mutual passion and experience. and remember that talking in a easy way can help me better engage in the conversation. And also do not be afraid to use the words and phrases, which maybe not the most appropirate way to express in a specific situation, but if these words and phrases avoild making people from understand me, just have a try to use them freely with a intuitive mind.

2, I should prepare something on my own on a quite day
1)write down a list about  ten topics which I really interested in
2)tell myself my support ideas and reasons.
3)try to keep the topics in mind
4)practice them until I can speak in a fluqent and clear way.

居然没有中餐馆 这个国家完蛋了

左岸咖啡 发表于 2008-08-29 22:44:30

Ezra Pound, “居然没有中餐馆,这个国家完蛋了” lol, cool guy

美国
20世纪文学界的邓小平。在美国写诗得不到认可,就去英国混。在英国混出头了。然后肆无忌惮。大骂美国,还写道资本主义排斥诗人。美国是资本主义,英国不是么?!头脑极度混乱,诗人的标志。后来E.P开始研究政治。一个诗人研究什么政治?!而且他居然拥护墨索里尼,参与了一个反美电台。他酷爱中国文化,对中国文化病态痴迷。把孔子的着作都翻译成英文。狂迷中国饮食,在整个意大利没找到中餐馆,于是大怒居然没有中餐馆,这个国家完蛋了

发现还有好多需要看的东西,好好都只是英文的,这几天看多了abc之间穿插符号,我都有点精神恍惚,眼睛看着,心里念着,像是在年咒语。 头痛!!!

1.学习
(1)入门书籍:< Finance >, Zvi Bodie, Robert C. Merton,框架非常清晰
(2)中级教材
a. Investments:
< Essentials of Investments >, Zvi Bodie, Alex Kane, Alan J. Marcus.
< Investments >, William F.Sharpe, Gordon J.Alexander, Jeffrey V.Bailey
第一本书行文更流畅易懂,第二本较学术化,但两者选一即可。在阅读时不但应该学习规
范市场的运作,更应该想想中国市场到底因为哪些原因使得如此的无效率。在理论和实际
中反复的来来回回,可以使人更好的理解两者。
b. Corporate Finance
< Principles of Corporate Finance >, Richard A.Brealey, Stewart C.Myers
< Corporate Finance >, Stephen A. Ross, Randolph W. Westerfield, Jeffrey F. Ja
ffe
第一本通俗些,例子写的非常漂亮,第二本学术化色彩较浓,也是两者选一即可。需要了
解简单的会计知识,仅借贷和资产负债表等基础即可。
c. Derivatives
< Options, Futures and other Derivatives >, John C. Hull
如果简单的了解,a中任何一本书相关的部分就足够了。
(3)数理化的教材
< The Econometrics of Financial Markets >,John Y. Campbell, Andrew W. Lo, A.
Craig MacKinlay
全面介绍了金融学中常用的计量方法。

2.研究
(1)了解理论发展脉络掌握了经济学基本工具(建模、计量),再有金融学相关的知识,
就应该开始做研究了。
强烈推荐在这一阶段先看下面这本金融思想史方面的书:
< Capital Ideas : the Improbable Origins of Modern Wall Street >, Peter L. Ber
nstein.
此书用一个个扣人心弦的故事,简洁、流畅而完整的叙述了金融理论是如何随着金融市场
的发展而成长起来的,启迪初学者如何观察现象、发现问题、简化变量,完美的展示了金
融市场奔腾不息的力量和金融理论的深邃迷人的美感。
(2)专题研究:从问题入手
在学习理论的时候,总会发现一些既有理论难以解释的问题,顺着这些问题展开研究,阅
读相关的书籍、论文,和同学、师长以及有实践经验的人讨论,这样对理论的理解比较深
,能够看到理论是如何抽象实际的,假设是如何决定结论的。
强烈反对先划定一个领域,看完一本“经典”教科书后再看另一本“经典”,不断预备知
识的学习方式,因为知识是永远“预备”不完的,即使“预备”完毕了,也很可能只会在
一个框架下思考,丧失了发现问题的能力。

研究的时候要把思路放宽,尽量早的去和同学师长讨论,一个人冥思苦想很可能在一个死
结上纠缠,他人的建议、经验和相关资源能够帮你打开思路。
例如,自己当时想解释为什么中国的小股民明知权利得不到保护也要持有股票,由于开始
读的都是教科书,而这些书都是基于Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH)的,自己改什么
风险偏好的效用函数、设定投资机会限制,不是结论不对,就是太牵强,总让自己很不舒
服。直到有一天和一个师兄讨论,他建议我去看看行为金融(Behavior Finance)方面的
资料,我才发现自己已经太久的被束缚在EMH里,而且浑然不觉。(建议阅读:< Ineffic
ient markets : an introduction to behavioral finance>,Andrei Shleifer)
(3)保持开放的思想,研究新的领域
在一个领域做久了,总会习惯思考相关的问题,虽然我们的确需要在某个领域沉淀很久才
会有所贡献,但不能在不知不觉中限制自己思考的领域。建议时常浏览如下网页看看现在
的研究在做什么:
Journal of Finance: http://www.afajof.org/
Journal of Financal Economics : http://jfe.rochester.edu/jfe.htm
NBER :www.nber.org
正式发表的文章已经比较慢了,有时间应该去各大名校金融系的网页上去看working pape
r.
(4)网络资源
统计年报:http://www.gse.pku.edu.cn/dataset/index.htm
中国资讯行:http://www.bjinfobank.com
国外数据:www.economagic.com
www.economy.com/freelunch


(四)实务资源
学习和研究的努力可以保证一个人在学校取得较有意义的研究成果,但是很现实的,绝大
部分人都需要到社会上来工作,承担自己的责任。因此,了解现实的情况,知道一些被理
论滤去但却在实践中非常重要的变量是很重要的,下面的一些资源可供参考。
1.书籍
(1) 历史部分
< Manias, Panics, and Crashes : a History of Financial Crises >,Charles P. Ki
ndleberger
金融危机是金融市场永恒的话题,而且历史不断的上演同样的故事。
< The House of Morgan: An American Banking Dynasty and the Rise of Modern Fina
nce >,Chernow, Ron
(中译本:《摩根财团:美国一代银行王朝和现代金融业的崛起》,金立群校译,中国财
政经济出版社)
< Wriston : Walter Wriston, Citibank and the Rise and Fall of American Financi
al Supremacy >,Phillip L. Zweig.
(中译本:《沃尔特 瑞斯顿与花旗银行:美国金融霸权的兴衰》,海南出版社)

每一个金融巨子都是时代的产物,看看他们如何把握历史时机,如何面对巨大的危难。

胡雪岩》(高阳)
了解中国社会的商业环境。

(2)投资部分
< One up on Wall Street : how to use what you already know to make money in th
e market >, Peter Lynch with John Rothchild
强调基本面分析,对生活的观察,Peter Lynch的其他书也可以。
< The Alchemy of finance : reading the mind of the market > or
< Open society : reforming global capitalism >,George Soros
(中译本:《金融炼金术》,海南出版社;《开放社会: 改革全球资本主义》商务印书馆
)阅读其中任一本都可以了解索罗斯的思想,只是第一本书后一部分非常技术性。个人认
为其书有价值之处在于用解析主义的方法论分析金融市场,在书中称其为反身性,这是与
经济学实证主义本质上不同的思维方式。
< Valuation : measuring and managing the value of companies > McKinsey & Compa
ny, Inc, Tom Copeland, Tim Koller, Jack Murrin.
介绍了实用的估值方法

(3)银行
日本金融败战》,(日)竹内宏著,彭晋璋译,中国发展出版社 1999
一个精彩的案例,反思了大而不强的日本银行的困境和错误的改革思路。
《复合萧条论:泡沫经济的经济对策》,(日)宫崎义一,陆华生译,中国人民大学出版社
2000
介绍了日本80年代泡沫经济产生、发展和破灭的全过程,对于正在走向金融自由化的中国
有重要借鉴意义。
< The Bank Credit Analysis Handbook : a guide for analysts, bankers and invest
ors >, Jonathan Golin
对银行较为全面的评估手册。
< Microeconomics of Banking >, Xavier Freixas, Jean-Charles Rochet< Financial
Intermedraices >, Mervyn K.Lewis
对银行的经济学分析,很好的学术性书籍。

除了以上资源以外,还可以看一些涉及经济金融运作的电影,例如< Wall Street > (内
幕*纵)、< Other People’s Money >(兼并重组)、《胡雪岩》(政治经济依存)等,
陈平老师每年春季给双学位的课上一般会放这些片子。

最后,对于金融实务操作来说,建立一个相互信任的人际网络是非常重要的,在学校里大
家没有什么利益冲突,也能找到很多和自己有相同价值理念的朋友,只有一群有共同理想
的朋友相互的支持和砥砺才能避免在社会中被琐事消磨的碌碌无为。希望大家珍惜在校时
光,多参加一些社团,多交些朋友,学会理解和沟通。

a quiet town

左岸咖啡 发表于 2008-08-27 00:50:36

Thees days, Im in Siena. carring too much luggage and stuggling to words I didnlt know. I picked italy for its art. and Siena was full of it. it was just so old. The town hall was build in the 12th century, and all the other building weren't much younger. the Duomo was made of ancient striped marble, and st.Catherine's skull was in a church named for her. everything was medieval and perserved, and nothing was like where I came from. it was few days into the trip, and I realize why I came to italy, it wasn't just to see art-through I saw it. and it made me feel creative and part of history and enriched... 
I stay at a traditional italian family. they dont know how to speak english, but it would be who would teach me most of the italian I learned there.
I went to a city where is pretty far form my hometown. I always try to find a good reason for doing that. I left home for a million more. I had quit the people there resented me. I had just quit a bf. and I quit  my friends I cherished so much. I am tired of quting things. I am ready for big, shining starts.
but things always goes out of my control. everytime I made a decision, something bad must come out with radical surroundings push toward me. here is rainning. I know, all that rain wasn't good for me. I woke up the next morning adn I couldnt stand up. Being sick is the one thing that can make me feel complete along. and that was a feeling I fed up with everything. and made me go through badly of memory.

微笑着流泪

左岸咖啡 发表于 2008-08-24 10:25:56

I cry for the time that you were mine. I cry for the memories I've left behind, i cry for the pain, the wound you push again and agian. dont you see? not all scares show, not all wounds heal. Sometimes you can't always see the pain someone feels.
..
Photobucket 坐在车里,对你微笑。这样都被你shot 了, 说是要永远放在手机里。
你真的很幸运,这样就被我放过了。最后留给你的回忆,我还是倘然微笑着离开
是太会假装了,就连拥抱,哭泣的场景都被省略掉。真是太可惜了!难得有机会体会韩剧中女主角上演离别的煽情剧,就这样错过。明明想好了,都是最后一次见面了,一定要在你面前哭得稀里哗啦,让你难过。然后,男主角割舍不下,说你先去吧,我处理好这边的事,马上就飞去找你,你要等我啊!
怎么会有这样的idiot想法。freaky outtt am I...
出门前,从包里拿出了墨镜,没有刻意,如果太阳不是很大也没有戴墨镜的习惯。天气只是微露淡淡的晴,夏末的阳光早已失去了霸气。
始终没能忍住,I'm... silent tears is the language of... somewhat I want you know how bad feeling I'm going through...
never say bye-bye!这歌词真好,经历离别的感觉真的很不好受。我不知道怎样来表达,身子被抽空,剩下的只有支离破碎的过往,微笑着流泪。
微笑着流泪,就是这样...
