They think about the future most of the time," rather than thinking only of the next few hours or even minutes: The most successful people, Banfield found, "are intensely future-oriented. Banfield discovered was that ‘time perspective’ was the determining factor of whether or not a family moved from a lower socioeconomic class to a higher one-that is, whether they improved their socioeconomic situation or not. Edward Banfield, professor emeritus of government at Harvard University, who spent 50 years studying upward economic mobility. The most important? Think about the long-term consequences of your decision.
#Making hard decisions hao wei midterm how to#
In his book Get Smart!: How to Think and Act Like the Most Successful and Highest-Paid People in Every Field, author Brian Tracy presents ten different ways of thinking that enable better decision making. This time he's not letting himself regret anything.We may respect those able to fling themselves into a hard problem and make a quick choice with seemingly little thought, but making a meaningful decision needs to be done with care for the long-term effects. I really like how this is a contrast from the episode where Fang Xue asked him to sing when she had H1N1 but he refused because singing was useless to her health. He dances! And sings! Fang Xue isn't laughing at him. Wei Lai, who probably heard the sorrow in Fang Xue's voice, travels all the way to the city she's at to comfort her. They even snatch it from her and accidentally drop it on the floor! SO RUDE. Other students are also laughing at her tacky suona. He tells her an embarrassing story of how he had to do a girly dance as a kid. On the day of her exam, Wei Lai calls her to cheer her up. Fang Xue can't sing but she can play suona, a Chinese shawm. The obstacles are the music exams that she only has one month to prepare for. Wei Lai researches with her and finds one that's suitable: Sound/Audio Engineering. With the final exams less than a month away, Fang Xue doesn't have a major she wants to apply to. She’s crying alone in the dorm, forcing herself to study. Because Gu Shang didn’t have preconceptions of Mei Mei? And also, this is Gu Shang’s second expulsion for the same reason: Cheng Jing.Īs farewell for Gu Shang, the entire class flies paper airplanes for him. Although trivial, it was important to Mei Mei. Mei Mei is even about to confess (!) but instead he thanks Gu Shang for carrying his luggage for him on the first day of school. His father kicks him so hard, Gu Shang’s knees buckle.Ĭheng Jing is sad and so is Mei Mei. He has pornographic pictures of Cheng Jing (which are photoshopped Gu Shang can tell from one glance). Xue Hui baits Gu Shang to punch him because he’s one penalty from being expelled. He dug up rumours about Cheng Jing and her mother and posted it on the school bulletin board all to threaten Gu Shang.
Unfortunately, Xue Hui is not just a creep but a psycho. I am going for sure." After all, he is the one who raised her grades by over a hundred marks. Dad is like What sister? What chicken pox? Dinner is a go! Wei Lai smirks to himself (a delightfully evil smirk), "Your home. When Fang Xue’s dad is here to visit, he casually tells dad about Fang Xue’s sister. He couldn't even sleep properly! Then Fang Xue drops him from heaven. Then he kept drinking warm water to cure his cold before dinner. He was a tad disheartened to know Cheng Jing and Gu Shang were invited and then elated again that they couldn't go. Days before the actual dinner, he was already planning on his outfit. Then we get Wei Lai's perspective and it has me grinning from ear to ear! He was in heaven the moment Fang Xue invited him but he kept his cool. She was expecting him to decline but he's like Okay! Fang Xue regrets it almost immediately. Fang Xue casually invites Wei Lai over for dinner at her place because her family wanted to thank him for her academic improvements.
