g9 sister/brother, please don't be offended

no matter which generation we are, no matter where we got our degrees....it all does not matter, because #1.chances favor prepared mind, as long as our mind are prepared to grow, to improve...eventually, we meet at the same point.  #2. English will always be my second language.  My English is often teased by my kids (K and 1st gr) at home to be the "worst" one.  I just need to be aware of my shortness, and whenever it's necessary, I would like to use mt strength to make my shortness "minimal", including rehearsal for many times before I went to give a talk; write and revise for many times before a funding application were submitted....

conclusion: jennyling's English is not good enough too! haha!  But it will not stop me to improve myself, haha!
