From Mark:
- First for myself: I think I should join some professional training to get the knowledge of leadship.
- Second for the team I have three things to do:
. First, make a very clear target and it should be meet the requirements of SMART.
. The second to build a platform to help every member to archive his or her performance.
. Third, encourage our team members when they meet trouble and provide necessary resource in need.
Give a people suitable position and role, and it can make the team more efficiently.
Don't let team member can not make decision.
The big difference between team leader and the team member:
the team leader should try to let team members do things themselves, but NOT himself, even the leader know how to do that.
From Minal:
Make use of everybody's advantages.
Encourage them to make your source abilities
The feature of the team, which goals we should archive, also to know all the members in the team.
Encourage my team members to go outside to contact with many people and experts in our field.
Team members can learn from leader.
From Qiu:
Let team members admire the leader, the leader should be a idol of team members like XiaoLai Lee.
Improve leader's skills.
Take care of team member.
If you are a team member you can learn from your team leader. If the leader is right, learn from it, if he is wrong, also learn to avoiding his wrong thing.
In my opinion I think:
- Firstly we should have a clear goal.
- Secondly, we should have a rule to manager our team.
- Third, we should have a plan or schedule to archive our goal, and let every one know it.
- Trust our team member.
- Encourage our team member to get the goal done by get them necessary resources.

11. Love (2017-08-28)
I think love is the best and wonderful thing in the world.
Whatever we do anything, for example, we work, we study, we any other things all because love.
You may work in a company or some place, you earn money for your family, it caused love.
If you are a student, you study hard to grow up yourself, it's always because you love your family, you love your parents.
If you do some housework, you always because you want to your family well.

15. How to read a book? (2017-09-01)
I think we should see the preface and outline of a book to see if the book is what we want.
If the book is a tool book, we just find the contents we interest in. If the book relevant to our area we should read it step by step.
We need write the key ideas on our notebook when reading, and also make some flags on the book for next reading.
Typically we need have a knowledge framework to get new knowledge hung on to. Just like Elon Musk said:
I think most people can learn more than they think they can, they sell themselves short without trying. One bit of advantage: It's important to view knowledge as a sort of semantic tree. Make sure you understand the fundamental principle, e.g. the trunk and the branches, before you get the details/leaves, or there is nothing for them to hung on to.
We also can use barbell rule to read some other book to get serendipity. After write your ideas get from reading, you can share it to your friends using WeChat Official Account or JianShu, then you can get more friends and links from them, they will also give you more thoughts to rich your ideas.
So book is a great thing to let we happy and make life great!
16. Talk about your opinion of the word confidence ( 2017-09-02 )
We can get a thing done, so we do the second thing done, get the third thing done... Use this method we can get our confidence.
Even we do some thing failed, we can also learn from it, then next time we can get thing done and create our confidence.
Just like Mark said, you can speak english LOUDLY like LiYang said in 《crazy english》, then your can also can get your confidence.
You must remember that a thing you did great, you can forget it, then use the same method of that thing, then you can do other thing well by your confidence.
17. Your habits.(2017-09-03)
I'm trying to finish everyday oral english at the morning. And also try to sleep early everyday night.
But now my attention gets split and involved in something, so I can't sleep early, I need try to change myself to get sleeping early everyday.
18. Recommend a book. ( 2017-09-04)
I recommend "Poor Charlie's almanack" to you. It's a book related to investment of Charlie Thomas Munger. The book has two parts, the first part is Munger's private books and the second part is three public speech of Munger. It works published by CITIC press group.
The books name in english is "The Wit and wisdom of Charles T. Munger"

19. How to be a excellent worker? (2017-09-05)
First you need love your work, so you will do your best to do the work.
We need learn knowledge and skills for our work.

As you know, by work you can make life better and happy.

If I can rich on life, my family, me will be easy to do other things interested on, also will be more freely to choice what things to do, so we can life more freedom.
21. How to arrange your energy? (2017-09-07)
I agree with Mark that, we have limited energy. So we need arrange it to the most important things. The most important thing to me I think is health. Base on that we can do other things well. We can spend enough time to have good sleep, have some exercise, and have good foods to make us health. Everyday we can write the important things to do on our notebook, so we split our energy on them. With it, step by step, we can get our things done, and so time by time, we can get our goals archived.
22. What will you plan to do on national day? (2017-09-08)
I will go back home to see my family, see my wife and daughter. I have not been see them for about two months.
Many people in 007 group will go to XinJiang to travel. But I should say that we should go to see beautiful place before or later than the common leisure time. Because in China, we all have same common leisure time, so it's a bad idea to go out at the common leisure time.
23. What are you going to do to relieve and enjoy yourself when you are under enormous pressure or feel depressed? (2017-09-09)
I think we can do the thing let us happy. For example, eat some delicious foods, listen some wonderful music or songs, or do exercise like playing basketball.
When I am tried or under express, I always like some great music, i.e. Celine Dion's songs. For example, 《My heart will go on》、《Miracle》etc... Or I will eat some delicious foods like Apple, bananas, milk. Also sometimes I play basketball with friends or other guys, when I playing it, I forget everything but ONLY basketball, after that I relaxed myself.
So the key to make us relax is to translate our attention to other things we love.
24.which season do you like best？why? this is us topic. (2017-09-10)
I like Spring most. Because in Spring, everything begin to growth. And also we make our new hope in this season.
The second I like Autumn, because we get our result in this season.
Not like Winter, we can go out to do more exercise, work, playing basketball, or do other things. Also in Summer is too hot to do things.
Even so, It's good there are four seasons, so we can compare with them each other, and know why I like Spring. I have not been to South China, I wonder If some time I go to South China, I wanna go to KunMing for some days to see the difference of Spring between North China and South China. I can imagine that I will like Winter in North China, because we have more time stay together in a warm family house, it's best thing of us.
25. If you have enough money, what will you like to do?(2017-09-11)
If I have enough money, firstly I will save a part of them to bank. Second, I'll buy something needed. Third, I'll take a part of them to do investment.
26. Memories of childhood?(2017-09-12)
I have very happy childhood. Always after school, I'll play card with my students and little friends, also play some other stuff or games everyday. I liked to play arcade games like 《street fight》, 《KOF》, 《处罚者》、《圆桌武士》、《三国志》、《快打旋风》、《雷电》etc. around 100 games.
27. Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big city. which place would you prefer to live in? and why?(2017-09-13)
I have no idea what's the best choice to live in big or small city.
In big city, there are more opportunities in big city to work, but everything need a price, also there are most cost & pressure in big city, also there are good education and more medical care in big city.
In small city, we have more leisure time, but have no better job without high pressure and earning money.
So maybe the balance choice is to chose a capital city of a province to work and life.
28. fear( 2017-09-14)
Bruce Lee said:
I fear no the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
I fear we fear to face something, some times we fear lost something, so I do some others things to avoid it. For example, if I fear no food to eat, I will buy it. If I fear I will forget the thing, I will try to remember it. Fearing is not always the bad thing. There are something you can't change, just leave it as it is. And something you can change it, so you change it. I think it is good ideas. Also we should pay attention to the import thing and you will forget the fear things.
29. What's your opinion on the case: that 逼死创业者 ( 2017-09-15)
I think we should avoid to see the details of the kind of news. We should pay more attention to the good things, and also learn from this kind of things, also do the good things.
There are good things and bad things, we should focus on the good things, and let the bad things become to good things.
30. What's the most deeply impression thing to you? ( 2017-09-16 )
I can remember when I first come to Beijing to learn oral english by teacher WangQiang. I can hear nothing from him, at the moment I fear I will almost give up, and that time a friend from ShanDong told me: you should try to listen for 3 days, if you find you can't do it, then you can give up and go back home, OK? So I did let him said. At last I hear all the classes from WangQiang about 2 weeks. I found I can do it even I also know nothing about the contents from teacher. The my great friend taught me what's the insistence and what's courage.
Even this thing already past 16 years, it is always in my mind. It is one of the most deeply impression thing to me.
31. If you haven't been married, which kind of child do you like? Boy or girl, why? For people married, do you want one more child? Why?(2017-09-17)
I think boy and girl are also our child, so it is OK. Not only girl, but also boy, we will love them. We should look boy and girl fair, but not unfair. For our world, and for our country, the environment has changed, so it's fair to see boys and girls. I have a daughter, if my economic base is OK, I will have one more child. I think if economic base is OK, and health is also OK, I will have one more child.

I think the best gift is one you give by your heart, regardless the gift it is.

From Skylar:
You know what one-child policy is, I'm the first born in my family. My mom told me that if you wanted to protect the unborn baby, you needed to hide him. Let's to back to the year that I was 11, my little sister was born. One day only my sister and I were at home, a man who is my father's friend came, I didn't want him to know that I had a sister so I hid my sister, then told him I couldn't open the door and asked him to go away. At the moment my sister was crying, and I couldn't take care of her, I couldn't make him heard it. What should I do? All of a sudden, I shouted at the top of my voice to cover my sister's sounds until he left.

39. What's your opinion about the event: the pregnant woman who killed herself and her unborn child?(2017-09-25)
I think we should give Ms. Ma more rights to make her decide herself. Always we do a decision by ourselves, not others. So we should give the rights to Ms. Ma.
Ms. Ma should have the rights to decide to natural delivery the baby or by
cesarean section(剖腹产).
And on the other side, I think communication is important things to avoid this tragedy(悲剧). More communications, more rights. By communication, we can avoid lots of bad thing to occur.

Also just like Mark said, the moon cake can let us remember some guys we like and need cherish.
