Anatol's graduation
I went to a lot of graduations in the last few days. I only brought my camera with me for Anatol's graduation.
This is Frank. He graduated yesterday but I didn't take a picture with him. One day is not too late.
Today's superstar: my CS lab partner Anatol!!!
My suggestion: human bridge!
We sang a hymn for him. Lovely. =)

RZ's Daily Spark of Life
The finance class at berkeley is impractical because it doesn't take emotional risk into account. =)
In the last few days I was too busy with bCalc.net and finals, RZ's Daily Spark of Life will be more regular after I am done.

www.bCalc.net is up!!!
Please check out website www.bcalc.net for our online graphing calculator. (Please don't not use IE)
It's a class semester project from CS169 Software Engineering.
For some fun, go the parametric tab and copy paste the following:
x(t) = sin(t)(e^(cos(t))-2cos(4t)-sin(t/12)^5)
y(t) = cos(t)(e^(cos(t))-2cos(4t)-sin(t/12)^5)
t=0 to t=70
Click it and see what happens!
And click zoom in (+). Wow!
No more TI83!

Seven Lessons I Learned From My Mother – Lesson 1: Concerning Home
In the spirit of Mother’s day, I am starting a new series called “Seven Lessons I Learned From My Mother”. I have searched deeply through my memory and have identified seven most important lessons from my mothers that made me who I am and are good indications of who I will become in the future. Those lessons include my mother’s advices on dwelling place, work, friends, life, marriage, faith etc. I am grateful and thankful for her. I will periodically release those stories one by one. So stay in tune. =)
Story:
When I was about six years old, I was playing at the balcony at my house. A mother bird was building a nest under our roof. I still remembered this vividly because my mother was very serious when she said this. She told me that “You see this mother bird who works very hard to build this nest for her children? We shouldn’t destroy it, because everyone deserves a home to rest. So Richard, when you grow up, no matter how much you dislike someone, never do things that will mess someone's home! Never destroy someone’s home! Home is the only place where people or animal find rest.”
My Reflection:
It’s strange how I still remember this story. Now I start to realize the significance of home. Home is a place for all living creatures to find rest, peace and satisfaction. No matter how hard the day is, nothing beats a resting place at night - a quiet and peaceful realization life is so simple and beautiful.
If I ask you to give me one word that describes the central theme of the bible, many would say “God”, “Christ”, “Church”, “Life”, “Truth” etc. They are all correct. They are just talking about the same thing from a different angle. If someone would ask me to use one word to describe bible, I would say it’s about “Home”. The whole bible is about how God wants to have a home in us and how we need a home in God! God and man are both satisfied in homes. =) I want to impress you the importance of home, because that’s what God wants in eternity! That’s why God wants to all those troubles to create men and save men. Even the omnipotent God needs a home to rest! So who gives us the right to destroy people or animals’ home?
Daily Spark of Life:
Never destroy someone’s home.

If we don't do it, who is going to do it? If we don't do it now, when are we going to do it?

I have always been more curious than cautious, which sometimes makes me want to regret for my curiosity.

There is a great mystery, a wonderful story
I just got the eagerly anticipated CD from New York city young people. Words cannot describe my joy. Loving it to the uttermost...
I especially like track #10. God's love is amazing, regardless of our human conditions. Everytime I think about this make my heart smile. =) That would be my Daily Spark of Life: God fell in love with man; For only God's love can make man just the same as He in life and in nature.
There is a great mystery,
A wonderful story;
For ages 'twas hidden,
Now shown in His wisdom;
'Tis a divine romance
Of God and man in time;
Beyond understanding,
Yet seen in God's speaking.
God fell in love with man;
For only God's love can
Make man just the same as He
In life and in nature.
We are His expression,
His bride, His enlargement;
Forever, together,
As living, insep'rable as one couple
Eternally.
Though He was rejected
By men who were blinded;
His love is constraining,
His heart still unchanging;
Thus in incarnation
Came He as salvation;
His name is called Jesus,
And He came to seek us.
Though born as a sinner,
His blood has redeemed me.
He suffered on Calv'ry,
Then raised up in glory,
To regenerate me.
Now joined in one spirit
I love to enjoy Him,
For I've been forgiven!
His love is so tender,
To Him I'll surrender;
His name is so precious,
I gladly call, "Jesus!"
His Person's so charming,
My heart ever winning;
I'll hold back no longer,
I'll love Him forever.

History is so great as I really learn how things happened, not as what's being taught to me. =)

Having a vision for my life allows me to live out of hope, rather than out of my fears. =)

Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
