🌻台灣時間昨天(08/08)是父親節. 在這邊祝各位父親佳節愉快. 也希望大家珍惜與家人相處的時光. 對家人表達愛意, 也不需要特別等到這一天.

🌻美國生活
Lockdown後, 請小心腰圍..........

前幾天去了醫院. 醫生也說, 疫情後, 她大約有1/4的孩童客戶是過重(還是肥胖). 也有些孩子還得了憂鬱症.

這篇文章介紹了跟減重有關的公司:

🌻"Guidance (財測) is the product of both operational insight (營運的洞悉) and expectation management(預期的管理)."
https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-long-can-bmw-resist-teslas-pull-11628005314

上面那句話說的挺好. 財測是高層對未來營運做預估的一種方法. 之前放掉一家公司, 就是因為公司的營收預估一直做得不好, 加上也還有比它更好的公司.

🌻上週做的功課與閱讀
上週花比較多的時間在看公司的財報結果. 功課反而有些亂掉了. 不過還是整理了一下看到的一些資訊:

"Hollywood movie and TV sets differ from typical office environments as people are often forced to work in close proximity with one another. Masks and social distancing are sometimes unrealistic, and cast and crew members frequently enter and leave filming locations."

🌻美國這幾天目前最紅的亞裔Sunisa Lee.......苗族人(Hmong).

中西部真的挺多. 都有在Wisonsin, Minnesota碰到過.

苗族人定居美國的故事: https://bit.ly/3yxYA50
"大批苗族人在70年代以難民身份來美定居，至今美國苗族人口約有26萬。他們集中在美國中西部地區生活，明尼蘇達州正是 苗族社群的最大聚居地，人口逾6.6萬人，蘇妮莎正是出生於該州首府聖保羅巿（Saint Paul）。蘇妮莎的父母正是來美的難民之一，然而雖然成功逃避戰亂，但至今六成美國苗族人屬於低收入階層，超過四分一更屬貧窮階層。"

The only thing our parents knew was to push us to go to school, get an education and go to college. They never thought that us as Asians could do any extracurricular activities without being judged,” said Amy Vang, owner of Little Luxuries Nail Lounge, where Lee got her nails done ahead of the Olympics. “That’s why Suni’s story has touched so many people…It has opened eyes in the Hmong community, to parents, that you can support your children in whatever they want to do and they can become successful.”

IWE’s implementation period will run from May 2021 and January 2022. AIT welcomes and encourages interested applicants to submit their proposals no later than April 12 at 17:00.
