7 Habit of High effective people
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinWe are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Reading this book is truly a new journey of discovering the life. Fundamentally changed my point of view in terms of value.
Covey's Book
There are 7 habits categorized by Mr. Covey. The first 3 habits are about self control or the private victory; second 3 habits are focus on public relationship or the interaction with other beings; last habit is generally idea of how to continuously improve all other habits and gradually master all those habit together.
According the book title, [7 habits of highly effective people], sounds like a fast-track course developed for some executives who want to improve their time management skill, which actually blind me from reading it years ago. Funny part is that, after read this book I list it as the most powerful influence book in bookshelf. When I ask my friend here in Sydney and back in China about how they comments on this book, not as enthusiasm as my feedback. My understanding is the impact from this book on one’s life depends on one’s life experience and maturity at that time of reading.
The very best part is the illusion Mr. Covey was guided readers to. I love it, not only it gives us a clearly and direct guide on seeking the life value and meaning, but it explained the whole philosophy theory behind the idea, which not only interestingly introduced a new point of view but also established the corner stone for the whole habit theory, logically and meaningfully. Brilliant!
The other super idea of this book is that revolutionary method of time managing which totally changed my way of thinking about time management. It is not to promote Mr. Covey’s book here. However, my intend is to sharing how those theory affecting my life.
Mission statement is quite heavy for me, cannot really work out even a draft, even through couple of those websites whom calm have great method to help you find your own mission statement. Not really working, cause you constantly thinking different things and distracted by new idea or key words. Additionally, those positive key words are all conceptualized; it is so hard to map them in reality. Not much things can be surely predicted or settled for the rest of my life, however, my solutions is keep this idea in mind, try to draft it every week, eventually I will get it.
This post is just some random idea about this book I just read, hope all my friend will get best out of this book. It was published 1989, 22 years ago.

The XXL websites
theXXL2006v1 website
Probably the very first flash application for our online presenting in earlier 2006. The whole website is one single flash file. We did try to put everything inside even through we did not have massive contents to put on the site. The main data we want to share on Internet is our original tracks. According to fan’s request, the main issue is a place to download the mp3, and during that time, flash is not able to communicate other resources on server, so we have to use external page to embed the audio file link. The intro animation of this site was heavily influenced by the website pioneer 2Advance.com.
theXXL2007v2 website
This new version of website fully employed the latest flash technology to have rich user experience in the mean while implemented Access database driver at backend to enable the flexibility of further addition. For entities like this client, update frequency is monthly or bi-monthly, the simple backend database is sufficient to satisfy client’s needs.
theXXL2007v3 website
Two months after the release of version2, we have received loads of feedback from fans and friends about had to navigate through the website. Most feedback said that the site itself is cool, just the contents is not presenting in a friendly way. Flash also has hard time on older computers that lack of computing power. All those facts lead me to thinking critically about value of fancy visual effect, how to make the best out of it and keep the balance? All those consideration finally resulted in this version3 website. One huge optimized image with interesting idea background for stackable items that direct linked to resources intend to share. Even through the website did not implement any new technology, feedback was good. It leads the audience attention directly on things we want them to focus.

Open Mind
This is the very first music video work I have done. This footage featured our original track that had been recorded just after our attempt to entertainment industry. “Open Mind”. The musical element in this track is quite simple, main concept is using minimal melody along with story telling lyric that had embedded dark humor.
O.R. is focusing
Couple of friends in our close circle had been played in the footage. Also benefit from their pleasant support, we had managed to record so much interesting material that facilitate the post-production. The place filmed is the pub we spend most our relaxing time, club JingJie. 7+3 playing the heading role as this song is all about him and his thoughts of being adult.
1st DIY MV, relax!
Pre-production work was complete around earlier 2008. Spend about two nights at club Jingjie for actually filming. We had wasted loads of time on writing script since none of us have any experience. However, eventually we had made the good result of using all materials, three different special effect we planed had been successfully implemented. Additionally the humor clip works.
God? or Devil?
It is great experience to take the action for practically put concept into final digital product. After this first attempt of music video project, I realized the huge possibility of media production industry. At the time 2008, we are already using HD format for this project even through computer power is not confident enough. The most time consuming work in this project is color correction due to the fact that most of the footage are shoot under a low light condition. I’ve gained a whole new point of view on how to run a video project.
