Christmas Wishes

Happened to see that peoples who are from everywhere in the world visited my blog. At the last working day of mine, I am walking in my mind and thinking of sending my best wishes to all of visitors, of course, including all others in the world who like technologies and who like share ideas. Merry Christmas and Happy a New Year.

My Blog Visitors

People like review what have done in the year of 2009, me too. 2009 is still a busy year for me. To make a long description short, the followings was major achievements in this year.

  • Branch Decomposition Algorithm for Dominant Set Problem
  • CCIE (R&S)
  • Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning
  • Change Working env.

I am also planning how to make me more productive for this blog, even though the working and study is busy. Let’s work together.

Again, all my best wishes send to you and your family.

At the time not have TV at home
Still could sing Astro Boy

CCIE – 25198

After 7 hours, at 1:26AM, I finally got email from CISCO for CCIE report. Yes, I passed, the CCIE number is 25198. It doesn’t mean much to me because this is only my first milestone to be achieved. I may continuously go other tracking, such as security and voice.

The testing is harder than I expected because you cannot grasp the right pace. When I put a lot of time on Switching part and haven’t finish IGP by the lunch, I felt really frustrated. However, It’s very important to build infrastructure correct, otherwise, all multicast part and BGP part will have trouble.

The InternetExpert helped me a lot. I would like to thank them for many detailed materials.

Life as Summer Flower

A good friend of mine, who lived in Melbourn, sent me off-line message from MSN.

he is leaving
towarding his next station
took a part of life from each of us
in return, his glory
on his child’s heart

When asking people, at the time the Beatles disbanded, that do you still remember them, people always said, yes, forever, because we grew up when they grew up, we were matured when they were matured.

Yes, MJ is part of my younth life, as well as John Lennon.

The Audacity of Hope

The topic forever is American Dream, but it truly drives us to every success. Although it’s the presentation in 2004, I still like to share it: “Hope — Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope!”
Part I

Part II

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.


Steven Jobs is the man I most admired. I saw a video named “Nerd”, which was made in 1997. The video traced back to the brilliant ear of Apple II, as well as Macintosh. This time, I post my favorite presentation made by him, for people who want to do something.

Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.

Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

Happy Christmas

(Happy Xmas Kyoko
Happy Xmas Julian)

So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Xmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let’s stop all the fight

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so happy Xmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now

Happy Xmas

Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture

Recently I was depressed by something that I don’t wanna mention, until I saw the “Last Lecture” hold by Randy Pausch, who was university professor and just got serious cancer with only 4 or 5 months to live. From the lecture, I was deeply touched by lessons about reaching goals, achieving dreams, the power of enthusiasm. If you think the dream is hard to come true, just remember: “Brick walls are there for a reason, they let us prove how badly we want things.”
