I read in the news today (Straits Times, January 28 2008) regarding Tao Li’s response to her “tax” money. Well, as it seems, there is not much wisdom in the young lass’s words even though she’s produced a lot of results from a medal standpoint.
It reminds me of times when my partners and I wonder [...]
I was reminded about this masterminding series I intended to write about.
