龜兔賽跑新说----续

The hare and the tortoise, by this time, had become pretty good friends and they...
The hare and the tortoise, by this time, had become pretty good friends and they did some thinking together. Both realised that the last race could have been run much better.
這下子,兔子和烏龜成了惺惺相惜的好朋友。它們一起檢討,兩個都很清楚,在上一次的比賽中,它們可以表現得更好。

So they decided to do the last race again, but to run as a team this time.
所以,他們決定再賽一場,但這次是同隊合作。

They started off, and this time the hare carried the tortoise till the riverbank. There, the tortoise took over and swam across with the hare on his back.
它們一起出發,這次可是兔子扛著烏龜,直到河邊。在那裡,烏龜接手,背著兔子過河。。

On the opposite bank, the hare again carried the tortoise and they reached the finishing line together. They both felt a greater sense of satisfaction than they'd felt earlier.
到了河對岸,兔子再次扛著烏龜,兩個一起抵達終點。比起前次,它們都感受到一種更大的成就感。

The moral of the story? It's good to be individually brilliant and to have strong core competencies; but unless you're able to work in a team and harness each other's core competencies, you'll always perform. below par because there will always be situations at which you'll do poorly and someone else does well.
這故事的有什麼啟示?個人表現優異與擁有堅強的核心競爭力固然不錯,但除非你能在一個團隊內(與別人)同心協力,並掌控彼此間的核心競爭力,否則你的表現將永遠在標準之下,因為總有一些狀況下,你是技不如人,而別人卻幹得蠻好的。

Teamwork is mainly about situational leadership, letting the person with the relevant core competency for a situation take leadership.
團隊合作主要就是有關情境(權變)領導這檔事,讓具備處理某一情境能力(核心競爭力)的人當家做主。

There are more lessons to be learnt from this story.
從這故事,我們可以學到更多

Note that neither the hare nor the tortoise gave up after failures. The hare decided to work harder and put in more effort after his failure.
我們了解,在遭逢失敗後,兔子和烏龜都沒有就此放棄。兔子決定更拼,並且投入更多的努力。

The tortoise changed his strategy because he was already working as hard as he could. In life, when faced with failure, sometimes it is appropriate to work harder and put in more effort.
在盡了全力之後,烏龜則選擇改變策略。在人的一生中,當失敗臨頭時,有時我們需更加努力。

Sometimes it is appropriate to change strategy and try something different. And sometimes it is appropriate to do both.
有時則需改變策略,嘗試不同的抉擇。有時候,兩者都要一起來。

The hare and the tortoise also learnt another vital lesson. When we stop competing against a rival and instead start competing against the situation, we perform. far better.
兔子和烏龜也學到了最關鍵的一課。當我們不再與競爭對手較力,而開始逐鹿某一情境時,我們會表現得更好。

When Roberto Goizueta took over as CEO of Coca-Cola in the 1980s, he was faced with intense competition from Pepsi that was eating into Coke's growth.
1980年代,當古茲維塔接掌可口可樂執行長時,他面對的是百事可樂的激烈競爭,可口可樂的市場成長正被它蠶食掉。

His executives were Pepsi-focussed and intent on increasing market share 0.1 per cent a time.
古茲維塔手下的那些管理者,把焦點全灌注在百事可樂身上,一心一意只想著一次增長百分之零點一的市場佔有率。

Goizueta decided to stop competing against Pepsi and instead compete against the situation of 0.1 per cent growth.
古茲維塔決定停止與百事可樂的競爭,而改與百分之零點一的成長此一情境角逐。

He asked his executives what was the average fluid intake of an American per day? The answer was 14 ounces. What was Coke's share of that? Two ounces. Goizueta said Coke needed a larger share of that market.
他問起美國人一天的平均液態食品消耗量為多少?答案是十四盎斯。可口可樂在其中有多少?答案是兩盎斯。古茲維塔說,可口可樂需要在那塊市場做大佔有率。

The competition wasn't Pepsi. It was the water, tea, coffee, milk and fruit juices that went into the remaining 12 ounces. The public should reach for a Coke whenever they felt like drinking something.
我們的競爭對象不是百事可樂,要是佔掉市場剩餘十二盎司的水、茶、咖啡、牛奶及果汁。當大家想要喝一點什麼時,應該是去找可口可樂。

To this end, Coke put up vending machines at every street corner. Sales took a quantum jump and Pepsi has never quite caught up since.
為達此目的,可口可樂在每一街頭擺上販賣機,銷售量因此節節上升,百事可樂從此再也追趕不上。

To sum up, the story of the hare and tortoise teaches us many things.
Chief among them are that fast and consistent will always beat slow and steady; work to your competencies; pooling resources and working as a team will always beat individual performers; never give up when faced with failure; and finally, compete against the situation. Not against a rival.

結論:龜兔賽跑的故事啟發我們良多。
最重要的是:
動作快且前後一致的人總是勝過緩慢且持續的人;
依著自己的優勢(專長)來工作;
結合所有的資源且團隊合作的人,總是打敗單打獨鬥者;
面對失敗時,絕不輕言放棄;
最後,與某一情境競爭,而不是限定某對手。 收起阅读 »

Last day, I visited a supplier again for issue.
The supplier provided us a cable. The cable is very easy to produce. Cut a cable and clamp terminals on the both ends. But the clamping force is required strictly. The first delivery was rejected for the strength NG. And second time it was checked strength NG in our headquarter. HQ asked the supplier to renew a batch.
But the supplier won't do and always searches excuse. The supplier said the requirement was beyond the industry standards and it hoped we could provide supporting. I said of course we supported them. But the supplier is responsible for the problem and is active to think a solution.
One week ago, the supplier promised they would give a solution this Tuesday. But on Monday it didn't do anything except saying it was not the industry standard. I told the purchaser that we coundn't accept the excuse. it is not a problem of standard. We have express our requirement before releasing the PO. So fot the batch goods, the supplier must be responsible for giving a solution.
I remembered my fore-boss told me a word. Any problems in business can be solved by money. Yesterday I accompanyed purchaser to the supplier again. Arriving there, I directly went to the workshop. I told them to prepare some terminals and cable. I did the experiment with the supplier engineer and sales manager together. The result of the experiment indicated that the supplier could match the requirement if they used more strength to clamp terminals. Problem is that it spent the operators much more time and energy. And they won't buy a automatic claming machine for it. In another words, it won't spend more money on it.
Then we had a meeting. I confirmed the problem was not and industry standard one.It was a balance problem between cost and quality .The supplier should solve it soon.Our purchaser said directly. If the supplier couldn't solve it in technology.it should solve it in business.
Supplier had agreed with us and promised on this Friday it would give a saying. Anyway it should spend money on it.
It is too tired. But we hope it will keep its words this time.

March 31, Monday, Rain

Tonight, I learned the grouping principle of the Pyramid Principle. The grouping principle consists of three key practices, namely consistency, relevancy, and MECE (mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive). My teacher has told us that MECE is a way of organizing information and has been widely used at McKinsey Management Consulting. Since I don’t know much about MECE, I can’t but report more on this later.

Since I am deeply interested in learning more about the Pyramids Principle, I will work very hard until I completely understand. Later on I will share with you my learning experiences in this regard.

March 30, Sunday, Rain

In the workplace, effective communication is vital to help our team work well together. Therefore, it is important to establish a powerful communication system. Today, following are the four elements of successful communication that my teacher has taught.

①Know your audience
Before preparing a business communication, we must know your audience and what they want. This helps you choose the tone to meet the specific purpose of communication. For example, if your audiences have never known your industry, when you talk about your product, please avoid acronyms and special expressions. If you address an issue to your boss, don’t forget to give him evidence as well as your recommendations.

②Specify your objective
When you communicate with your audience, you must express your thought clearly. Since everybody has many things to do at work, you should avoid having them spend too much to guess what’s in your head.

③Formulate and support your message
If you want to convince your audience, all your analyses must be based upon adequate proof. Following the Four elements of the Pyramids Principle is a good idea.

④Determine your approach
Having completed the above three basic elements, you should be able to develop the best approach to deliver them.

In short, in order to prepare an effective communication at the workplace, following these four basic elements is essential.

March 25, Tuesday, Sunny

Today I was glad to receive my textbooks from XX School. This means that I will have a tight schedule from April to July. In the meantime, in order to accomplish all I have planned, my disposable time only allows me to write diaries every other day instead of every day.

Though completing this course has been my dream, I feel headache when I face these tasks, the main problem is schedule. I know that life can be very busy and full of distractions. It is easy to lose focus and run around in circles rather than completing tasks that need to be done. In this situation, making personal schedule is very vital. In coming day, setting reasonable timetable is also one of my main tasks.


I pray for being able to reach my goals, I hope my dream can keep us motivated.

March 23, Sunday, Sunny

Today’s weather was very good, but I don’t know the reason why I felt down for the whole day. maybe I had slept too much in the afternoon.

Tonight, after having done my jogging, I saw a movie in company’s recreation center, but I have forgotten the name of film. It was a waste of my time. In fact, I had many things to do today, but just half of task was done. Unable to complete my scheduled work could be the reason that affected my feeling.

To face the new week tomorrow, before I went to bed tonight, I had tried to adjust myself to have a positive attitude. I won’t allow bad mood to affect my work. I heard that eating chocolate can make someone feel better, and many people may immediately reach for their favorite chocolate to make them more comfortable if they are feeling low. Obviously, this method isn’t acceptable for me, because I am a little overweight.
...

Now I feel too tired to resolve my bad mood. It is late and time to go to bed. Hope I will find a solution to this problem in my dream. Ha ha.

Perhaps we must lost something, can we know what really want to pursuit.
I have lived in pain for some time. Once something has gone in my life, can never come again. Now what I need to do is forgetting the pass and walking away from it, Giving a chance to myself ensure to live my new life.
I still have a long list of trouble I must go through before I am reaching my goals.
The more difficulty I have gone through, the stronger my heart will be. Being clear about what is worth doing, sticking to it and don’t give up the goals, are the ways to help me stay productive in my life.

March 20, Tuesday, Sunny (About “‘Her 18 unspeakable secrets”)

In today’s diary, I ‘d like to share some ‘gossips’ about ‘Her 18 unspeakable secrets’ written in You Dao reading materials.

Regarding this article’s views, to a certain degree I agree. For example, one of the views is “women especially love a bargain”. As far as I am concerned, in the past, when I went shopping for clothes at my favorite stores, if the dresses that I like were on sale, I would buy them. Honestly, I have no problem to resist eating junk foods, but I couldn’t face the temptation of not buying beautiful clothes. In recent years, I had been doing this kind of shopping almost every week. Though I hadn’t used up all I made by the end of every month, at least half of it was spent on clothes and skincare products. From the beginning of this year, in order to buy my parents more presents, I go shopping once a month instead of every week.

The other view mentioned in these articles was “Women do not know anything about cars…”which I totally agree. I am a patient of motion sickness. Thus, I never want to learn driving. And, I can’t tell the difference of one car’s name brands form another car’s. As I recall, during the Spring Festival recess, my cousin drove me to the airport. At home, when my father asked me about the name brand of cousin’s car brand; sadly, I know nothing about that at all.

Recently, the desire for having on a trip has been stronger and stronger because I want to forget something breaking my heart and making my life full of pain. Therefore, I have by sport shoes online to prepare for the trip on this weekend.
In these two days, I created a list every morning, which ensured I know exactly what I need to do very day. To be honest, I really afraid that I can’t finish my work because of the bad mood. For now, it revealed that what I have done was right.
To my surprise, some things made me feel good today. For example, a customer praised me that my speaking English is better than the other colleague.

March 18, Tuesday, Sunny

In today’s daily production meeting, there was an episode happened during the discussion.
Assume one of your colleagues refuses to cooperate with you, and you are so disturbed with his attitude. In this situation, do you lose your temper?

In my opinion, keeping your temper in check can be challenging at work. In quality management, we often face different types of people when, and it is easy to lose our temper, especially when people are making trouble deliberately.

I believe many of us on this 6SQ website have lots of experiences in quality management; could you share some of yours with us? They could be very useful.


Today, I read an article titled “7 types of friends a female employee needs”. Regrettably, I don’t have these seven types of friends at work. In this article, it talks about office gossips, and advises us to use this relationship to strategize, which could lead to improved upward mobility within the company. However, Honestly, I can’t stand to chat with someone about other people’s private affairs…

After a tiring week with a busy schedule, though today is Sunday, getting up early has became my habit.

According to my money saving goal of this year, though I have stopped spending money on weekends, I still can enjoy these short breaks to relax and allow me to do whatever I love to, listening to music, walking , going to class ,taking a long nap in the afternoon and what not. My weekend afternoon naps are usually two hours long versus 30-minute ones during the week. …

This evening, I chatted with my parents and other friends over the cell-phone. To be honest, I wished I could have some of homemade dumplings made by my father. I understand that this will not happen for a long time until next Spring Festival.

March 12, Wednesday, Rain

In the recent days, I have been busily engaged to deal with incoming material problems and at the same time I was required to develop passing standards of new materials. It was a hard struggle, but thank God, I finally finished the work. With management’s approval of this document, I held a meeting this evening to train QC girls to ensure that they will pay special attention to all new incoming materials from now on.

March is our peak production season; everyone has a lot of work to do, and my workload has been doubled. Likewise, we all are much stressed out, both mentally and physically. Seeking relief, last night I was told me by my yoga teacher that practicing meditation might help. In order to achieve good attitude and good spirit during the day, from tonight, I will spend the minutes every night to practice meditation before going to bed. She also told me that if I can sustain this exercise as a habit, I will be a happy person.

Dear 6SQ friends, have you ever tried meditation to release mental and physical stress? …

Today was another busy day for me, tons of work that drove me crazy. Luckily, I had my yoga lesson tonight, which eventually helped me relax afterward.

This morning, I presented my QA Weekly report during the production daily meeting, I used this opportunity to inform my management regarding quality problem associated with the XX series product that we experienced last week, and I consequently advised engineer of XX department to pay specially attention to the zz procedure in the coming weeks. Arguably, engineer cc again blamed that my QC girls’ inspection speed to be too slow to catch the defective products being produced. This accusation made me angry. Gladly, all managers attending this meeting disagreed with what he said. It is clear to all of us that we are facing the peak production season; and the quality of all our products need to be ensured.

In the afternoon, a training supervisor of HR department asked me submitting annual training plan issue. She recommended me to attend SPC lesson, but I am not willing to register for this course; I prefer to learn something else instead. Based on your experience, my dear 6SQ friends, what are the best valued courses in quality management that I should take as a quality supervisor? The charge is less than RMB3, 000.

When I heard that Malaysia Airlines flight carrying 239 people from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing lost contact with traffic controllers, I felt very sad. Today, according to the news, more than two hundreds travelers from 13 nationalities were onboard. Hope miracle can happen. Let’s pray for them.

I was further saddened when I saw the video that families and friends of those missing on the flight were waiting in a hotel for latest information concerning them. Looking at their helpless eyes, my heart was broken. One woman wailed for her missing son as she was led inside. "My son was only 40 years old," she cried. "My son, My son. What am I going to do?"


Until now, nobody knows exactly what happened to this Malaysia Airlines’ plane that disappeared. Friends, let us pray for these 239 people, wishing them live in peace in a different world.

It will be a month long from I get start using English to keep a diary. According to the plan I made last month, it is time to practice English listening.
My dear friend Ting told me that it is much helpful for me in English to watch the TV play called “Friends”. Although I prefer to learn business English that is related to my job,it can be had a try for some times. The most difficult to improve our English, I think it is to insist to make time for learning English after work every day. To be honest, I have failed to do so because of the time I spend on TV and games every night.
The more you care, the more you get. In order to improve my English ability, I will take my plan more serious than before and insist it out. The time flies, I must have to make progress in English, I really don’t want to stay where I am now and waste my spare time on playing.

March 3, Monday, Rain

Today, the CEO of our parent Company arrived to visit Huizhou’s production line in this afternoon; Last Thursday, all departments were asked to get ready for his coming. In the morning, in order to ensure that everything step was running smoothly, I made the rounds of our production lines immediately after the production daily meeting. The area was clean and tidy. Clearly, we have done 5S well.

In our clean rooms (production area), production and protection of electronic chips mandates a super clean environment. Anyone entering the clean room facility must put on a hood and a face veil and wear ESD shoes. The face veil must be large enough to cover the entire mouth. To ensure that these rules are strictly followed, everyday, one of our engineers is assigned as the security guard to closely monitor people’s in and out of each lean room. This engineer is responsible to report all violations during the daily production meeting. Though our management is more human in treating our employees, violators of clean room’s rules will be severely punished by their supervisors.

Preparing a weekly report for the Tuesday’s meeting was my today's work, though all product’s yield are higher than their production goals, to prevent previous problems associated with the XX product from happening again, I have instructed QC girls to pay special attention during sampling of the XX Product.

Theme: Three ideas to improve efficiency of learning

Starting today, if we want to make our learning process more effective, setting up a timetable and stick to it is the best policy. If you end up watching TV or playing the games then you should change.

Secondly, in the spare time, we need to find a quiet place to study. We all know how hard it is to study in an area full of noise and distractions, not to mention effectiveness.

Avoid interruptions. During studying, when a friend calls and asks us out to lunch or for movies, we should say no. Besides, if you stay home to study, don’t forget to lock the door. For example, if your hear neighbors knock on your door, don’t answer it; otherwise, you can’t concentrate on studies.

To find time to study, we must plan well. The past three ideas can help us improve our learning efficiency.

Yesterday, my colleague had an argument with my director about how to deal with the conflict in our work. We don’t know what happened to my colleague ( call him A) in detail, perhaps my director didn’t hope that A lose our respect for telling us about that. However, in yesterday meeting, A didn’t control himself and told his conflict with R&D personnel to us.
In QA department, we have much pressure coming from our customer complains, we need to do experiments to make the product problems recur and ask the R&D personnel to analyze this problems. After that, providing the corrective measures to customers and explaining it face to face or using our email are the most important.
In the steps above, the more pressure, the more easily we come into conflict.
My director said it is no need to know who is really right or wrong, just put the project first. But A disagreed with him and believed that it will happen in other colleagues if we don’t take it seriously. What is important, he make a list of thoughts he had before and ask we some questions, for example, “ are you making sure that you can reach your goals in this way?”, which have made other colleagues thinks a lot.
Maybe he is right, but I don’t think much about what he ask as other colleagues because I know what I really desire and where I want to be. He is the person who has many ideas, but he needs some time for personal reflection and making adjustments.

February 28, Friday, Sunny

Today is the last day of work in February; though everything ran smoothly at work, much time could be saved if better managed. I must be more careful when doing my planning.

In this month, we had less than usual memory Chips to produce due to America’s bad weather, which resulted in delayed delivery of necessary electronic parts. But starting March 3, everything will go back to normal. And all departments need to be prepared for the coming peak production season,

For my department, one of my QC girls A resigned last week. Her replacement B was scheduled to be trained starting this week. However, unfortunately, the other girl C just requested a personal leave to return home for two weeks beginning March 3 due to personal reasons. Though it’s OK for me to rearrange work for March, I need to have my department fully staff during the busiest season.

Based on our company’s training SOP, all new staff of Production department must be trained for at least two months. During the training period, new operators are not allowed to operate their machines alone without being closely monitored by their Training Technicians. After the training, they become qualified operators. My department is no exception, all QC girls are required to be trained by ME department Training Technicians. They will not receive certification until their work is 100% verified.

February 27, Thursday, Sunny (The aim of learning English)

Theme: The aim of learning English

English, now a global language, has become more and more important in international communication. Especially in the modern day society, regardless of the type of business you are in, if you have a good level of English skills, you will have better opportunity to gain more information from your foreign friends and colleagues. Good English pushes your career forward, indeed.

For me, I work as a quality supervisor in the XX Company; where, ability in English is very important. In the recent years, I have taken a number of English classes at XX institute, these courses include BEC preliminary, BEC vantage and so on; nevertheless, some of them were way over my head. In the current company, I really cherish this job. If I can do better in reading, writing and speaking English, I would have the opportunity to earn more money. So far, sadly to say, though I have been studying English for three years, I don’t think I have made much progress in either English or my career.

About learning English, I once got so discouraged and almost gave up, because it was too hard to learn. However, when I thought about my older parents and I am the only child in the family, I decided to continue working hard so as to give them a better life in the future. Thus, I determined not to quit learning English as long as I work for the XX Company.

In order to improve my English, I have followed my teacher’s advice to write diaries starting this year. Though every day it takes me more than 90 minutes to finish my writing using sample sentences shown in Youdao dictionary, I endure. I believe my teachers told me the old sayings that, “We take on this challenge, not because it’s easy, but because it’s hard”, “Constant dripping wears away a stone”.

My dear 6SQ friends, for fun and a better life, let’s work hard together!

February 26, Wednesday, Sunny

After a whole day’s work, we often feel very exhausted. For some people, when work stress rises, they lose their temper. In this age of intense competition, we all face different challenges in our work and various problems in life; in that way, to improve our quality of life, how should we balance our work and free time?

In my opinion, three things are of great importance to keep our work-life balanced.

First, having good work arrangement is important. At work, we should handle all affairs according to its priority. As a result, if we can manage our work well, we will have more time left to handle personal matters.

Secondly, engaging friends each week to have fun and relax will make sure we are not weighed down by overwork. If we have enough time to communicate with our friends, we will achieve a better balance between work and life.

Finally, I highly recommend everyone to workout daily. Sports are good for our health. We must have a healthy body, if we want to achieve our dreams.

To sum up, the aforementioned three suggestions have helped me keep a better balance between work and life.

Dear friends, would you share your ideas with me on this?

February 23, Sunday, Sunny

After lunch, I went to Huizhou to attend the new school year ceremony. Approximately five hundred people were there to attend this activity. However, they gave us notice that we had to arrive at the school before 1:30 PM, but the meeting was delayed for two hours due to the traffic jam. As the chairperson, there wasn't any good programs arranged, we felt very bored within two hours, and the atmosphere looked a bit awkward.

A number of speeches were given by invited leaders; the central theme of this ceremony was to tell us never giving up learning. Life is a living and learns the process; everyone should have his or her goals and must work hard for this plan to read what we need, day after day, and constant dripping wears away a stone

Above all, that’s the message they wanted to send out to every student and is the theme of this event.

The activity gone over, I went shopping alone until nine o’clock at night; comparatively, I prefer going into store to appreciate beautiful clothes in my spare time. I reminded myself over and over under my breath that I couldn't buy them due to my plan of saving money. But it’s a pity that my favorite brand of cloths was running a promotion activity …

February 20, Thursday, Sunny

It was sunny today for the whole day, weather finally turned into a nice day. Cinderella’s mood is getting much better, even I was very tired, and I managed to keep my chin up.

After breakfast, I went to work earlier than usual; the first thing to do still was to check QA dairy report from the night shift’s data. As indicated in the XX Yield trend chart, XX product’s Yield was higher more than its current target of 98.5 percent and approaching the goal of 100 percent.

Recently, in order to decrease the number of complaints from customer, our QA has been working closely with ME engineers to improve the XX process so as to enhance the quality of these XX series products. This joined team effort has resulted in significant improvement in the yield of XX product.

Today, selected from several applicants, I hired a new QC girl whose background and experience fit our needs. From next week, OJT Trainer will be responsible for training her according to the SOP. In the first week, I will do the best to make her feel as comfortable as at home.

It is a quiet and simple day, there is nothing made me fell upset, I just need to check some emails, make notes and learn something I like. In my free time, I always like to have a cup of coffee and read newspaper, which makes me feel peaceful.
For my job, when the goods will sent out of our company, I work as gate keeper to know the level of product quality. If the products sent to customer have some errors and OQA check them out, we will ask project manager, to arrange meeting for analyzing the problem before batch production is conducted.
We need to make full use of our time when we are free.

February 19, Wednesday, Rain

These days, I have lost a lot of sleep, perhaps because I am often stressed out after a day’s work. Weather is also wet and bitter cold. Besides, high humidity has made me uncomfortable.

Today is Wednesday. Like any other day of the week, I had another busy day of work. Since one of my QC girls has resigned, I need to recruit a replacement as quickly as possible. Though there have been several applicants, so far I haven’t found the one whose qualification fits our needs. During the interviews, a few were dismissed immediately because of their fickle attitude. I understand that not many applicants would like to do eye-straining inspection work under microscopes.

About hiring staff, in the recent years, it was difficult to recruit new staff, despite many companies offer five one insurance fund and other benefits. Comparison with surrounding companies, we could control the lower turnover rate last year. One good reason could be that our management is more humane than others. Especially to the new comers, for example, we have established an SOP to pay special attention to our new hires’ well-being, from the day of their orientation throughout their lives with the company. The only disadvantage is that the factory was built in the suburb, and the traffic is not convenient.

After work, jogging in the gym is my routine workout. Inside the gym, I often meet several foreigners, but I just have a nodding acquaintance with them. From time to time, I want to greet them and chat more in English, however, sadly, my poor English has failed me to open my mouth.
