评论人：[游客]Nicole 标题：[转载]Labor Day US 美国劳动节　 评论内容： 何老师： 您好，我是清华环境系的大三本科生。大一时我就决心出国，于是一直很关心美国的新闻和文化，您的文章给予了我极大帮助，谢谢您和我分享您多年的阅历和宝贵的智慧。 我最近感到迷茫烦躁，原因如下：大一时我学习劲头很足，积极进入实验室，接触科研，去听系里面美国教授的讲座，虽然听不懂。但我现在的状态是，我所有时间都给了GRE，对科研有热情但没法着手去做，觉得自己是想发paper出国，才接触科研。缺乏对科研真正的兴趣，我老是拖沓不想完成计划任务，现在也不好意思去见导师了，因为没完成培养计划。我就是觉得迷茫，为什么有的人就有热情和好奇心，我就没有呢？ 如何来判断我是否适合从事科研，即怎么看清自己呢？敬请您指教，感谢您的解惑。谢谢！ 博主回复：Dear Nicole, It is dangerous for me to give advice based on limited information. All I can say is "your situation is far from unique and your confusion and depresion will pass in time". More constructively, your problem is the RESPONSIBILITY of your faculty advisor, your parents, and yourself. Be honest and seek help from them. When I have time, I'll attempt to write a blog article on your confusion and problem. Many young scholars face the same confusion as you. Wait for the article. 评论人：countryroad 标题：[转载]Labor Day US 美国劳动节　 评论内容： 中国社会现在处于急速发展与急需改良的时期，也许能给精英们提供比美国更多的机会和更高的职位，而且中国社会也确实需要那些具有全球化视野的精英参与社会改造，指望一些在智商和能力上都稍逊一筹、视野比较狭隘的人在窝里斗是不行的。 不明白为何大批的精英都跑掉了。 博主回复：You are welcomed to express your opinions about the US and China, their societal ands other problems. But this is not the place to discuss and engage in debates about such weighty and never ending subjects. 评论人：countryroad 标题：[转载]Labor Day US 美国劳动节　 评论内容： 前几天看一个美国文化批评家的文章，说美国社会承诺给每个人机会，让他相信通过个人努力都能成为精英，结果导致应该培养精英的大学成为培养庸才的地方，大学的研究水平在下降。 社会的过分平等导致“平等主义”的出现，美国的精英反而不如中国有更多的话语权力和机会。 评论人：[游客]Sheldon 标题：Question from a reader　 评论内容： Daniel and Prof. Ho, thanks a lot for your reply. Probably Daniel is too americanized to feel any cultural shock. But how about Prof. Ho yourself? Do you have different answers to those questions, especially when you just arrived in US many years ago? And Daniel, what is your impression of those international students? I asked these questions because I, and so as many other (East-Asian) students who came to US after finishing their undergraduate studies, find it sometimes hard or even exhausting to adapt culturally. (compared to this, the research part seems easier). US is indeed an open and tolerant place, but still it is different from living in one's own country. 博主回复：Dear sheldon, You are asking me about things that happened fifty and sixty years ago. To the best of my re-collection, I had relatively little difficulties adapting since I was much younger and went directly to undetrgraduate studeis. Times were also different. 评论人：countryroad 标题：[转载]Labor Day US 美国劳动节　 评论内容： 何先生，谢谢您的回答。 这个问题我问过同事，他说美国是个非常公平的社会，一个人即使过得不好也不会埋怨社会抱怨他人，只怨自己能力不行，所以不会出现一些极端的事件。 同事好像把美国描述成了一个乌托邦，他说有本事的人都出去了，只剩下一些没有能力的人在国内坚守者，一旦有机会大家也会出去的。 博主回复：The US is far from being a Utopia. But it is still a land of opportunity where everyone believes that he has a chance for success through hard work. 评论人：countryroad 标题：[转载]Labor Day US 美国劳动节　 评论内容： 何先生，我有个问题，一直很迷惑，您在美国生活久了，也许可以问问您：美国公民有持枪权，在美国生活是否没有安全感？比如走在小道上，或晚上回家太晚，甚至敲错了邻居的门等，是否会害怕从旁边飞来的流弹？ 问这个问题没有别的意思，因为儿子将来可能出国，这是我一直困惑的，希望您给谈谈您的感受。谢谢！ 博主回复：Fifty years ago,I'd definitely answer that the US is very safe. Nowadays, safety depends on where you are. There are parts of a city foreigners or natives should not go alone at night or even during day time. One certainly should be careful. If one is new in the city or the country, one should definitely ask about local conditions. But I'd say that if one is careful, America is still a relatively safe place compared to other parts of the world. Most Americans still are law abiding and willing to help others. 评论人：[游客]gardenyu 标题：What is System Engineering?　 评论内容： Dr. Ho: I took my MS in EE focusing on controls and issed some control patent, but now working as a design engineer in electronics industry. I agree that methods such as optimal control and mathematical programming probably solve a lot problems. But I think for system engineer training, it's hard to connect between academics and real-world. For example. neutral networks has been a good topic for many years and there are some journals only covering this. But in real-world, almost no one would ever use it. The idea of NN is to train a controller based on existing known models, but the world is just so non-linear. Still 99% real-world is built around PID. The greatness of people such as Kalman is that he develops sth that's accepted and proven by the industry. Hopefully someone could do the same in the near future. 评论人：iouiwc 标题：对申请美国大学的一些忠告　 评论内容： 忠诚和责任 评论人：yue 标题：Question from a reader　 评论内容： an asking for advice: "encountered" may be used in passive tense? abstract: the greatest obstacles encountered by women. 博主回复：??? Why not ??? 评论人：yue 标题：Question from a reader　 评论内容： I think in my poor Eglish that according chines feudalist geneology your grandson is a Korean not a Chinese. This situation force us to take an openmind. 博主回复：I know. Strictly speaking I cannot even call Daniel my grandson but external grandson. But in the US, we do not make such distinctions and male-oriented emphasis. 记录总数：1961 总页数：197 当前页：1 93[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]...4:
