哈哈，
够我得瑟一周了。

My Key Takeaways from GHC17

Grace Hopper Celebration this year was celebrated in Orlando, FL where it was held 10 years ago. Super honored and thrilled to represent the LinkedIn Engineering team to be part of it. Here are some key takeaways for me from #GHC17.

Amazing Keynote Speakers

On the first day keynote, Dr. Fei-Fei Li talked about her experience as an immigrant and her current work in artificial intelligence. We all know that AI is truly making more and more difference today, and she came up with a question "AI will change the world. Who will change AI?". "The A.I. of the future shouldn’t just benefit us all,” she said. “It should reflect us all as well."

I also heard her talk on Google I/O 2017 on AI. It was really impressed to see her live on stage!

Another impressive talk was from Debbie Sterling, who started GoldieBlox, the award-winning children’s multimedia company. Based on the early experience where most toys for girls were always pink, Debbie decided to create an engineering-based toy aimed at young girls. Despite the fact that few investors believed in her at the time and she got rejected by Y Combinator, she did not give up and made GoldieBlox "disrupt the pink aisle in toy stores". Truly inspired by her faith and the influence she has for young girls. Women can absolutely become outstanding engineers!

EXPO - Stimulating Career Fair

During Grace Hopper Celebration this year, we had a stimulating career fair for students to discover and apply for job opportunities across industry and academia. With many valuable resources, it could be the start of a great career. It is a good opportunity for women in tech to learn more about new field, network with new people, and discover how to further career. It is said that this career fair earns a 97% satisfaction rate.

As LinkedIn employees, we participated on the booth as Career Guides for attendees, interacting with them, discussing what it’s like to work at LinkedIn, and reviewing their resume. For me as a career guide, I am more than happy to see how women in tech around the world are passionate about technology. Spending time on the career fair booth was also a valuable memory for me to know how attendees are curious about life at LinkedIn and I am super glad to share my experience with them and provide with advice.

Keep Connected

We had 184 employees in attendance at GHC’17, including 12 speakers. On first day of GHC we had Employee Dinner at Tu Tu Tango. We had great time there to get connected with so many smart and inspiring women in tech at LinkedIn. With amazing food, roses and dance, we made new friends and shared our experience at the conference.

Thank you GHC, for such an unforgettable experience! Thank you LinkedIn Women In Tech, for such an amazing opportunity! Sincerely hope more and more women will join us to celebrate #GHC in the future!

榜样的力量

学如逆水行舟，不进则退。
不够努力，就妥妥会被淘汰。
身边很多榜样，工作方面，社交方面，理财方面，
好好学习一下！

看帖看剧有感

昨天看最近很火的我的前半生的一个片段，讲女主的闺蜜唐晶，被男友甩的情节。
今天上了一下一亩三分地，看到某帖失業38天，讲湾区某员工被炒鱿鱼，当天就被要求离开公司。自己又受到一点刺激。。

相恋十年的未婚夫，说变心就变心，竟然不可控的爱上自己的闺蜜。
平平静静的工作，突然有一天领导把你叫到办公室说你今天就得走。
如果真到这一步，该是多么无能为力啊！

说这么多不是为了表达，人生有多少无可奈何。
我想说，必须让自己足够强大，才能不被这突如其来的危机打倒。
回想上一个quarter，自己无论在工作上，学习上，感情上，真没什么进步。每天不想工作，不想学习，就知道胡思乱想，对什么事都患得患失的，状态非常不好。
就凭我现在的水平，真是分分钟被打倒啊！

让自己充实起来吧！
新的一个季度加油。

某个下午

双休日如果没事儿干，就不想一个人在家待着，什么事儿都不做就能把一个下午耗过去。倒不如挑一个星巴克，看书，玩电脑，工作都行。此刻正在星巴克敲个博客。

外带还是堂食？
上周在飞机上看十二道锋味，看到蟹黄狮子头，馋的我直流口水。突然想吃蟹黄了，哪里会有蟹黄呢？绞尽脑汁，想到鼎泰丰。今天中午直接去鼎泰丰叫了个外带蟹粉小笼，10分钟就能取，真方便！我不想一个人出去吃，又懒的自己做，这时感到外卖真是个宝。在家拿出外卖单，点单，开车去取，不用排队，不用社交，不用给小费，多方便啊！

近期旅行
最近在马蜂窝上添加之前去过的城市和足迹。目前想起来的，有52个城市之多。添加的时候，好多回忆涌上心头。突然好想夏天回国看看，像去年夏天一样，回一周就行。
5月温哥华。特别喜欢温哥华，气温适宜，中餐很多。只是据说冬天下雨很多。
6月休斯顿。白天又热又晒，晚上出来散步，吹着稍微有点热热的风，倒是有种回国了的感觉。
7月墨西哥。下周出发。

一些习惯
牙齿，上周看牙又被医生批评。他嘱咐我一定要坚持用牙线，否则牙齿之间容易龋齿。虽然只要不到1分钟就搞定，我还是忘记。很多小事，说难不难，还真是贵在坚持。
皮肤，总是长痘。经常冷不丁额头或者下巴爆个痘痘。照镜子看到眼角出现了细纹，啊，看来岁月开始在我脸上留下痕迹，我也得多加注意了！
体重，怎么又上100斤了。双休日好吃的太多了，不加节制哦。下周开始午饭晚饭不吃主食！
上班，心态不好。上班没激情，又不专注。还好睡眠还行，不怎么失眠。

房子车子汉子
最近好多人买房啊。。看看自己的存款，感觉还差的很远。
最近好多人结婚，生娃。。看看自己，也差的很远。
咋办呢？

没有毅力，没有自制力，健康和工作都不会顺心如意。

吃的痛快

武汉
江边
早餐蔡林记便利
下雨太冷

Denver
干燥
人少
民风彪悍

Salt Lake City
典型非旅游城市
滑雪方便

未来

近期状态更新

近期变化有点大。

我们组在reorg，这样我被划到了feed去。目前看，不太乐观。正在试图说服自己接受这一切，毕竟我没有选择。我就这样加入已经存在很久的很牛的组，自卑，没有话语权，没有归属感，想想就挺失落。可能唯一的好处是能强迫我学很多东西吧。

生活方面，越来越害怕孤单一个人。然而往往事与愿违！怕什么来什么。

人际关系，没什么进步。不喜欢接触陌生人，加上自卑。

嗨呀，怎么又是悲观的博客呢？！

快快好起来，阳光快快来！
