Hi, my name is Nigel. I graduated from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and began my career designing rocket components for China’s aerospace program. So unlike the so-called “rocket scientists” on Wall Street, I am the real deal. For the past 20 years, I have helped foreign businesses achieve a smooth landing in China, navigating everything from market strategy and regulatory compliance to local partnerships and execution. I speak the languages of engineering, mathematics, and cross-border business. Let us have a cup of tea at a peaceful Buddhist temple and talk business. We can brainstorm practical, real-world approaches to doing business in China. My associate and I also host business networking events and organize trips around China for professionals and entrepreneurs. Please add the WhatsApp contact above to connect and confirm details.

✨ 每一本好书都值得反复阅读，每一次阅读都可能遇见新的自己。 欢迎参加2026年3月8日城市部落英文读书会，社交英语角 weekly Language exchange & bookclub meetup Topic discussion主题讨论: 《Clear Thinking: Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results》《清晰思考》将平凡时刻转化为非凡成果 春季英文读书会 Venue: People Square in Shanghai 上海人民广场 Cost: 18元/人，.RMB18/person Date & time: Mar 8th 上午 10:00-12:30 你可能听过这样一句话：选择比努力更重要。人生关键点上的重大决策，会决定我们的命运。但你有没有想过，是什么在背后支撑我们做出这些选择呢？为什么起点差不多的人，成就差异能那么大呢？ 今天要讲的这本书会告诉我们，决定这些的是思考的质量。 《Clear Thinking》这本书的作者是加拿大情报专家Shane Parrish，他认为，真正影响我们成功的，不仅仅是那些大的人生节点，更是那些我们平常甚至没有意识到的选择时刻。 In an age where information overload and rapid decision-making have become the norm, Shane Parrish’s “Clear Thinking: Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results” emerges as a beacon of clarity and practical wisdom. 学会清晰思考是改变人生或事业轨迹的关键。然而，我们不常意识到哪些时刻是进行清晰思考的机会。《清晰思考》不仅是一本关于决策的书，它是一次对思考质量的全面提升。加拿大前情报专家Shane Parrish将他的经验和智慧凝练成文，教你如何在生活的每个瞬间做出清晰、理性的决策。本书详细指导你如何克服人性的弱点、培养强者思维、并实现高质量的决策。如果理解了这本书，你将获得全方位的思维训练 Few things will change your trajectory in life or business as much as learning to think clearly. Yet few of us recognize opportunities to think in the first place. You might believe you’re thinking clearly in the moments that matter most. But in all likelihood, when the pressure is on, you won’t be thinking at all. And your subsequent actions will inevitably move you further from the results you ultimately seek—love, belonging, success, wealth, victory. According to Farnam Street founder Shane Parrish, we must get better at recognizing these opportunities for what they are, and deploying our cognitive ability in order to achieve the life we want. Clear Thinking gives you the tools to recognize the moments that have the potential to transform your trajectory, and reshape how you navigate the critical space between stimulus and response. As Parrish shows, we may imagine we are the protagonists in the story of our lives. But the sad truth is, most of us run on autopilot. Our behavioral defaults, groomed by biology, evolution, and culture, are primed to run the show for us if we don’t intervene. At our worst, we react to events without reasoning, not even realizing that we’ve missed an opportunity to think at all. At our best, we recognize these moments for what they are, and apply the full capacity of our reasoning and rationality to them. Through stories, mental models, and more, Parrish offers the missing link between behavioral science and real-life outcomes. The result is a must-have manual for optimizing decision-making, gaining competitive advantage, and living a more intentional life.

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.
