I once had a teacher whose husband died of heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her1understanding with students.2the late afternoon sunlight came shinning in and the class was nearly3, she moved a few things aside on the edge of her4and sat down there.
With a gentle look of reflection(反思) on her face, she paused and said, “Class is over. I would like to5with all of you, a thought that is6to class, but which I feel is very7.”
“Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love and give of ourselves.8of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be9at any moment. Perhaps this is the Power’s way of telling us that we must make the10of every single day.”
Her eyes were11to water, but she went on, “So I would like you all to make me a12.From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to13. It could be the14of the breeze (微风)slightly rustling the leaves in the trees, or the way the morning light catches one autumn leaf as it15gently to the ground.
“Please look for these things, and16them. It is the17things that we are put here on earth to enjoy. We must make it important to notice them, for at18it can all be taken away.” The class was completely19. We all picked up our books and walked out of the room silently. That20, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had that whole semester.
Remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans”. I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their idea, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.
My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state owned enterprises and global companies. They were not without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years’ teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.
In China, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.
With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there’s the “thousand talent scheme”: this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about China’s research environment. It’s hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.
At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It’s about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It’s not that simple.
