^-^ Nice to meet you ^-^

Hi, everyone, my name is Huixian Lin. I am from China and have been in U.S. for four years.
I like hanging out with friends, making new friends, watching movies, listening to the music, shopping, eating, traveling around, and etc. Sometimes, I do day-dreaming, O(∩_∩)O

I believe all of us are manager in somewhere. Just as Prof. Kurpis said, we manage our time, finance, the relationship with other people, and personal issues. I am a manager of my life. I was raised by my grand parents. My grand father was a clerk, and he was the first teacher in my life. He taught me the basic morality of human life, and many more things that influence my life. I remember once, it was Friday night, my grand parents asked me to go to the church with them. I told to them I wanted to stay at home and finish all my homework at that night. Suddenly, my grand father walked closed to me, and talked to me in high voice, “finish all of these at once? Even though you finish all your homeworks, they won’t be done with high quality.” That was the first time I realize the importance of being a good time manager. My grand father taught me we have to manage our time well, distribute our works, and do them systematically.

Right now, I am a upper sophomore. Time does not allow us to do things whenever we like to do. College works, job pressure, and peer pressure all come to our life. If my grand father was still alive, he may teach me how to handle these things well, but I believe every problem has its own solution; they will be solved on someday. We have to manage our life by ourselves.

Nice to meet you all, and I hope in this little space, we share our thought toward the concept of management. Maybe after this course, we will have a better idea of what and how a good manager is, not only in a business world, but also in our daily life.
