欣然说每天录一段话，但是那样我是绝对不会回头去听的…于是咱还是回归博客

今天的是周记- -

I wanna complain about Citi!!! The money transfer from my mom's account was rejected and sent back on 9th Oct. , while the relationship manager hasn't informed us until last Wednesday, regardless of my requiry on the issue. I've made international phone calls to both Citigold service team and the relationship manager asking about the transfer before and after 9th Oct. and everytime they told me there's nothing they could do to trace the money as long as it was tranfered out of China. Finally, it turned out to be a mistake in SWIFT details which was confirmed yesterday. Now I have to wait for another week...

Today I went to Oxford Circus for shopping (using a VISA card, which charges me 1.7% exchange fee T-T), bought a coat, accessories, shoes and a teapot of 60 pounds...My mom will faint when she sees the bill...orz

So things now on my mind are MONEY, network and career. Last two are mainly due to my broken english...and a negative attitude holding me back.

最近开始注意到我和外国人交流不痛快不光是因为有语言和文化的障碍。反倒是因为太过在意语言的问题而下意识地把注意力放在对话本身上，而不是内容或者对方这个人。现在想起来，对于接触到的非亚洲人我一次都没有想过也没有去试着了解过对方的性格。大概这才是关键…

话说会意识到这个问题还是多亏了angela，我之前就老纳闷怎么她能对着外国人问出那么多问题，而我绝大多数时候就只是听着还给不出什么reaction。是心啦心，交流是要用心的…唉。

几乎每天都去学校拿免费的financial times但是从来也不看，看也看不太懂。
Cousework目前进展缓慢，今天下午去图书馆折腾Thomson one banker和Datastream，这边的数据库data是很充足但是完全不知道该去哪里下Analyst report。好在还有Denis和Ivan（美好的）身高差，让meeting不至于太让人沮丧。

我虽然从来不认为自己死读书，但和非亚洲学生比起来还是有明显的差距，他们真的很会思考，会问问题，会结合市场结合现实。就说Denis（小受囧），Portfolio Theory的cousework第一题要用20只股票，对于股票的选择没有要求和限制，于是我说去日本市场上随机选20只。Denis说了一段话让我颇为感慨：你可以随机去选，但如果是我的话会给自己做个情景假设，假设自己是Portfolio manager，在为某个客户服务，客户有某些投资偏好或者投资目的。我就根据客户的投资要求去市场上选股票为他构造Portfolio。”

作为中国应试教育培养出的栋梁，顿时有种被人敲了一棒子才清醒过来的感觉。

总之加油吧！

无逻辑地结束。
