An ant bit a tiger, so the tiger wanted to catch this ant. Then the ant ran and ran and finally it ran into a hole, but its leg was still outside of the hole. Do you know why?

I am already not so excited to see my name again in Guangzhou Morning Post this week:) I checked back, I totally sent 8 articles to the editor. That means to say, probably I will see my name again sooner or later. It is always the best to ask for my signature earlier before I become famous:)

A big company planned to employ some new staff. One question of this test is:
In the stormy night you were driving a car and passing by a bus station.
There were three people waiting for the bus:
An dying old man.
A doctor who had saved your live before.
A woman/man who you always wanted to marry to.
However, you could only drive one of them, what's your choice?
Think about it carefully before your read the following words.

I don't know whether this question is to test your personality because every answer has its own reason.
The old man was dying, so you had to save him at first. However, everybody will die at last.
You let the doctor get on the car, because he saved you and you thought this was a good opportunity to pay for that.
However, once you missed this chance, probably you would never meet someone who you loved.
Only one person was employed in the 200 candidates. He didn't explain why, he said the following words:
Give the key to the doctor and let him drive the old man to the hospital. I will stay with my dream lover to wait for the bus.
All the people I know think this is the best answer, but nobody (including me) thought it out.
Is it because we have never thought about giving up the advantage (key) we have in hand?
Sometimes if we can give up some of our obstinacy and advantage, perhaps we will receive much more.

"Don't Know Why" is one of the songs that I like lately. It is the first song from the Norah Jones' album "Come Away with Me". The seller said that I wouldn't feel tired to listen to this CD all day long, so it made me very curious. In my opinion, this song is the best in this album.
Another cool song is called "Yellow". Actually I heard it from a flash cartoon MTV and I just liked it right away. It made me upset because it spent me long time but I couldn't find its MP3 version to download via the net anyway. Next day when I went to the CD store, I glanced at CDs and particularly looked at a CD but put it down. It was strange that I picked it up again and suddenly found this song was available. It is a coincidence and it is not strange that I will buy a CD just for one song.
"Amazing grace" is a special song, it is fresh. Today my colleague lent me a CD which I had the same 8 years ago. The album design is the same, and most songs are the same, but I just haven't a song called "I'd Love You to Want Me". I heard this song before but I didn't know what the name is. It was just so kind of you to lend me your brand new CD, thanks:) I am really happy to it, you know.
The songs I mentioned may not be found easily, but they will be available in my 3rd MP3 CD. I don't know when it will be finished. There are quite a lot of things to do.
I was reminded of a very nice old Japanese song because of a concert last week. It will be too difficult to find this Japanese song by the Chinese name, especially I don't know Japanese:) This song is in my searching list now.
