Human family regardless of ethnicity with faith,hope and LOVE

Washington Post, Friday, August 28, 2009 on Page B1,B3:

With a much-awaited daughter, an Alexandria, Virginia,US family is complete with a Photo: Harper's new family: She is the girl from China,wearing bright tangerine Crocs.. The first taste of America: Berger King.

Comment: I went to Berger King in Shanghai several times. It is American cultural influence of food in Shanghai to compete with McDonalds with Asian Salad plus KFC as well. Another Sino-American Economics in evidence!

Edward M. Kennedy (1932-2009) on page A9:

He attracted and nurtured a wealth of talent with work ethic. They gave their blood, sweat and tears in Congress for the well-being of Americans. Such demeanor may be shared by folks in China too.

"Seven Steps"Qi bu zhi cai" to be dedicated to readers of Sino-American Economics with American value and Chinese wisdom: Learning from each other or one another. To wit:-

1. The more you read = "Du shu yue duo" in Pin Yin system of romanization of four Chinese characters.

2. The more you know = "Zhi shi yue duo" Ditto.

3. The more you know = "Zhi shi yue duo" leading to:(as per etiology)

4. The smarter you grow = "Cai hua zeng zhang" as the natural outcome.

5. The stronger you voice = "Fa yan qiang jian" with outspoken firm conviction.

6. Speaking your mind reasonably ="Yan zhi cheng li" as the logical consequence.

7. Making your choices judiciously = "Xuan ze jian shi" for selecting optimal options.(in all kinds of endeavor)

The above may be regarded as the proper mix of American English and Chinese proverb with a touch of the discipline of economics in life for inspiration.

Sequel to Longevity to my prior blog as another Mantra: It is a cinch so please say it in Pin Yin:-

"Maomaochangshou" living a long life to be a septuagenarian leading to be an octogenarian.
"Qiyibaisui" expecting and fitting to take good care to be a centenarian.
