Suzhou Creek and North Bund Walking Tour Come with me for a stroll along my favorite part of Suzhou Creek and North Bund, passing numerous historical sites and culture landmarks while enjoying some natural peace and quiet at the same time. The entire route is about 5 kilometers long and aims to lead participants in reading architecture, appreciating culture, and engaging with history and meet and greet new friends on the tour.. Suzhou Creek, the biggest tributary of the Huangpu, runs through central areas of the city and stretches from the Outer Ring to the Bund. Suzhou creek waterfront has been revitalized in recent years to provide uninterrupted walking paths, new gardens and ample resting areas. The riverbanks in Huangpu District, about 3 kilometers from Chengdu Road Bridge to Waibaidu Bridge near the Bund, has become a pedestrian-favored corridor Let us enjoy the enchanting scenery of the Suzhou Creek not only on foot, Waibaidu Bridge （Garden bridge） This is China’s first all-steel bridge and, in Shanghai style, lights up in different colors in the evening. This steel bridge from 1907 is one of a few unequal height truss bridge in China. It played a part in numerous books and movies With its rich history and unique design, it is a symbol of ShanghaiSimply enjoy the walk on the wooden deck of this old bridge Suzhou Creek holds a special place in the hearts of Shanghai residents. The region's silks and ceramics were carried along the Maritime Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), and centuries later the area became an early industrial hub of the city. Since Shanghai was forced to open its port in 1843, the creek has been the backdrop for dramatic landmarks in the city's history. It was the scene of wartime suffering and the birthplace of China's earliest national industries. North Bund offers innovation, history, stunning skyline views Shanghai’s riverside areas have already been transformed with greenery and walking paths, shikumen residences are being renovated, and the historic North Bund is becoming the city’s “most beautiful parlor.” Let's have a walk along North Bund, a gem with stunning views of the Lujiazui skyline, plenty of thrilling adventures to get up to, and countless photo-worthy moments waiting for you to capture.

Date & time: Mar 22nd 上午 10:00-12:30 From the [#1]() New York Times-bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power comes the definitive new book on decoding the behavior of the people around youRobert Greene is a master guide for millions of readers, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, understanding and mastery. Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. 多数时候，你觉得自己理性？他人善良？ 你以为职场都该正面积极，却看不懂明摆的尔虞我诈？为什么人总爱和人比较？渴望拥有别人的财富、地位甚至外表？为何有人会一再爱上不对的人？为什么英国公民宁愿脱欧？美国人民会挺狂人川普？ 因为「人性」在下棋，我们不过是被摆布的棋子而已。 《人性18法则：认识自己、透视他人, 解码人类行为第一专书》第一本解码人类行为专书，让你浸淫在各式各样的人类行为中，并学会破解这些行为的密码。读完本书，你将彻底改变你看待自己、他人甚至世界的方式。 We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose. Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defense. 读完本书，你将： 变成更沉着、更有策略的人类观察者。 更精准判读他人不断释出的讯号，更有识人之明。 变得强大足以对抗人生中躲不掉的损友、小人或各种有毒人格者。 知道想激励人、影响人，要扳动哪一根杠杆才能事半功倍。 能挣脱低潮和困境，顺利摆脱负面行为模式。 变得更具同理心，让你与身边的人建立起更深刻、更满意的关系。 改变看待自身潜力的眼光，察觉内心更理想的自己，并着手去实践 看穿人的面具： 角色扮演法则 人往往会戴上面具来让自己展现出最好的一面──谦虚、自信、努力。他们会谨言慎行，会看起来对我们说的话充满兴趣。他们会学着隐藏自身的不安全感与羡慕之情。若把外表看到的他们当真，那我们就永远不会知道他们内心在想什么。甚至有的时候，我们会被他们突发的抗拒、敌意与操弄所蒙蔽。所幸，这张面具并不是滴水不漏地毫无缝隙。人会持续性地泄漏出自己的本性以及无意识的欲望，因为非语言的线索，如:脸部的表情、音色的转折、身体肌肉的张力与人紧张时的本能反应等并非他们能完全控制。你必须熟练于这种「非语言的语言」，让自己面对不论男人或女人都有一双火眼金睛，不会为他们的浮面所欺。有了这种神功护体，你就能对很多人事物防患于未然。反过来说，由于表象是别人用来评判你的根据，你也必须学着去表现出自己最好的一面，让角色扮 ▌人性和你想的不一样：你没有你想的理性，他没有你想的善良！ 罗伯·葛林（Robert Greene）身为多本国际畅销冠军书作者、全球千万读者追随的人生导师，他最善于从历史取材，将古老的智慧和哲理化为充满洞见的文本，供有心追求成功和影响力的人浸淫、汲取。这次他再将其如剃刀般锋利的文笔挥向「人性」，带你看清决定人类行为背后你所不知的强大力量，如何影响个体的成败，左右人类的命运。 葛林认为，人类是社会动物，我们的生活始终围绕着各种关系存在。理解人类的所作所为，可让我们更能在社会立足，也是我们所能想像得到最有用的工具，或说能力。少了这种能力，即使拥有异禀天赋，也无法带我们走得太远。 本书带你走入历史长河，汲取如雅典领袖伯里克利、苏联头子史达林、催眠之父艾瑞克森、时尚传奇香奈儿、英国女王伊莉莎白一世、人权斗士金恩博士、石油大亨洛克斐勒等多位传奇人物的经历，说明促成人类行为背后你我所不知的18种原始力量，如：不理性、自恋、短视、欣羡、强迫症、防卫心、从众、挫败感和攻击性等，如何导引出许多惊人成就或人为灾难，而透过这些精采绝伦的故事剖析，我们得以学会如何在关键时刻跳脱情绪的控制，培养出自我掌控力、如何通透人性弱点发展出高度同理心、如何看穿人类的面具，以及如何抗拒群体力量，避免随波逐流，找到专属于自己的人生意义与使命感。甚至轮到该你演戏时，知道如何演好、如何适时加入戏剧效果。 ▌通透人性法则，人生不再撞墙！ 人性比我们想的更复杂、神秘且引人入胜。然而，科技进步和社群媒体带来的巨变，使人类比以往更耽溺于自我世界，而其自恋程度也是前所未见。葛林认为，想让人生不再撞墙，或更进一步打进任何群体，发挥你想要的影响力，人性，都是你必须重新通透的一门学问。跟随本书揭示的人性18法则，彻底认识自己，打破负面行为模式，才能趋吉避凶；学会洞察人心，才能掳获人心： ‧不理性的法则：人生有多少决定，是你的情绪作主，而非你的理性？ ‧自恋的法则：人人自恋的时代，学会把自恋炼成自信，再用同理心培养出圈粉超神力！ ‧角色扮演的法则：很少人会有话直说，学会破解非语言线索，你也能像通灵一样善解人意！ ‧强迫症行为的法则：人生不停鬼打墙？有时问题不在你，而在你身边的有毒性人格！ ‧垂涎的法则：如何让人爱不释手？知道何时和如何有所保留，成为别人「渴望」而不可及的目标。 ‧防卫心的法则：如何软化反对你的人?化身深度听众，学会善用对方的话和固执，把他拉到同一阵线！ ▌人性和你想的不一样：你没有你想的理性，他没有你想的善良！ 罗伯·葛林（Robert Greene）身为多本国际畅销冠军书作者、全球千万读者追随的人生导师，他最善于从历史取材，将古老的智慧和哲理化为充满洞见的文本，供有心追求成功和影响力的人浸淫、汲取。这次他再将其如剃刀般锋利的文笔挥向「人性」，带你看清决定人类行为背后你所不知的强大力量，如何影响个体的成败，左右人类的命运。 葛林认为，人类是社会动物，我们的生活始终围绕着各种关系存在。理解人类的所作所为，可让我们更能在社会立足，也是我们所能想像得到最有用的工具，或说能力。少了这种能力，即使拥有异禀天赋，也无法带我们走得太远。 本书带你走入历史长河，汲取如雅典领袖伯里克利、苏联头子史达林、催眠之父艾瑞克森、时尚传奇香奈儿、英国女王伊莉莎白一世、人权斗士金恩博士、石油大亨洛克斐勒等多位传奇人物的经历，说明促成人类行为背后你我所不知的18种原始力量，如：不理性、自恋、短视、欣羡、强迫症、防卫心、从众、挫败感和攻击性等，如何导引出许多惊人成就或人为灾难，而透过这些精采绝伦的故事剖析，我们得以学会如何在关键时刻跳脱情绪的控制，培养出自我掌控力、如何通透人性弱点发展出高度同理心、如何看穿人类的面具，以及如何抗拒群体力量，避免随波逐流，找到专属于自己的人生意义与使命感。甚至轮到该你演戏时，知道如何演好、如何适时加入 Event schedule **活动环节安排：** 本活动参与人群定位为上海工作和生活的喜欢英语、热爱交流分享的青年白领，及高校师生。 Other Schedule 其它环节: Heads up words guessing欢乐猜词， MBTI自我介绍 What is your personality, Never have I ever我有你没有， Truth or Dare, 真心话大冒险 英文版 英文私董会 Mentor for each other.

Not at all. If you plan to read or have read it, that’s great; if you haven’t touched it, you’re still more than welcome to join. Come and meet like-minded people and connect over the topic as well as the book. **How can I contribute to the discussion if I haven’t read the book?** The book is simply a conversation starter - our discussions often branch out into related themes, personal experiences and broader topics of interest. Our gathering is more about socialising and engaging in decent conversations with book lovers, rather than a formal seminar. **Can I also discuss my own fav book or the book I recently read?** Absolutely! Our gatherings are all about open conversations, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on any book that’s been captivating to you. **Is this group open to everyone?** Yes - this is a friendly and inclusive group, welcoming everyone regardless of gender, sexuality, or background.

Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defense. 读完本书，你将： 变成更沉着、更有策略的人类观察者。 更精准判读他人不断释出的讯号，更有识人之明。 变得强大足以对抗人生中躲不掉的损友、小人或各种有毒人格者。 知道想激励人、影响人，要扳动哪一根杠杆才能事半功倍。 能挣脱低潮和困境，顺利摆脱负面行为模式。 变得更具同理心，让你与身边的人建立起更深刻、更满意的关系。 改变看待自身潜力的眼光，察觉内心更理想的自己，并着手去实践 看穿人的面具： 角色扮演法则 人往往会戴上面具来让自己展现出最好的一面──谦虚、自信、努力。他们会谨言慎行，会看起来对我们说的话充满兴趣。他们会学着隐藏自身的不安全感与羡慕之情。若把外表看到的他们当真，那我们就永远不会知道他们内心在想什么。甚至有的时候，我们会被他们突发的抗拒、敌意与操弄所蒙蔽。所幸，这张面具并不是滴水不漏地毫无缝隙。人会持续性地泄漏出自己的本性以及无意识的欲望，因为非语言的线索，如:脸部的表情、音色的转折、身体肌肉的张力与人紧张时的本能反应等并非他们能完全控制。你必须熟练于这种「非语言的语言」，让自己面对不论男人或女人都有一双火眼金睛，不会为他们的浮面所欺。有了这种神功护体，你就能对很多人事物防患于未然。反过来说，由于表象是别人用来评判你的根据，你也必须学着去表现出自己最好的一面，让角色扮 ▌人性和你想的不一样：你没有你想的理性，他没有你想的善良！ 罗伯·葛林（Robert Greene）身为多本国际畅销冠军书作者、全球千万读者追随的人生导师，他最善于从历史取材，将古老的智慧和哲理化为充满洞见的文本，供有心追求成功和影响力的人浸淫、汲取。这次他再将其如剃刀般锋利的文笔挥向「人性」，带你看清决定人类行为背后你所不知的强大力量，如何影响个体的成败，左右人类的命运。 葛林认为，人类是社会动物，我们的生活始终围绕着各种关系存在。理解人类的所作所为，可让我们更能在社会立足，也是我们所能想像得到最有用的工具，或说能力。少了这种能力，即使拥有异禀天赋，也无法带我们走得太远。 本书带你走入历史长河，汲取如雅典领袖伯里克利、苏联头子史达林、催眠之父艾瑞克森、时尚传奇香奈儿、英国女王伊莉莎白一世、人权斗士金恩博士、石油大亨洛克斐勒等多位传奇人物的经历，说明促成人类行为背后你我所不知的18种原始力量，如：不理性、自恋、短视、欣羡、强迫症、防卫心、从众、挫败感和攻击性等，如何导引出许多惊人成就或人为灾难，而透过这些精采绝伦的故事剖析，我们得以学会如何在关键时刻跳脱情绪的控制，培养出自我掌控力、如何通透人性弱点发展出高度同理心、如何看穿人类的面具，以及如何抗拒群体力量，避免随波逐流，找到专属于自己的人生意义与使命感。甚至轮到该你演戏时，知道如何演好、如何适时加入戏剧效果。 ▌通透人性法则，人生不再撞墙！ 人性比我们想的更复杂、神秘且引人入胜。然而，科技进步和社群媒体带来的巨变，使人类比以往更耽溺于自我世界，而其自恋程度也是前所未见。葛林认为，想让人生不再撞墙，或更进一步打进任何群体，发挥你想要的影响力，人性，都是你必须重新通透的一门学问。跟随本书揭示的人性18法则，彻底认识自己，打破负面行为模式，才能趋吉避凶；学会洞察人心，才能掳获人心： ‧不理性的法则：人生有多少决定，是你的情绪作主，而非你的理性？ ‧自恋的法则：人人自恋的时代，学会把自恋炼成自信，再用同理心培养出圈粉超神力！ ‧角色扮演的法则：很少人会有话直说，学会破解非语言线索，你也能像通灵一样善解人意！ ‧强迫症行为的法则：人生不停鬼打墙？有时问题不在你，而在你身边的有毒性人格！ ‧垂涎的法则：如何让人爱不释手？知道何时和如何有所保留，成为别人「渴望」而不可及的目标。 ‧防卫心的法则：如何软化反对你的人?化身深度听众，学会善用对方的话和固执，把他拉到同一阵线！ ▌人性和你想的不一样：你没有你想的理性，他没有你想的善良！ 罗伯·葛林（Robert Greene）身为多本国际畅销冠军书作者、全球千万读者追随的人生导师，他最善于从历史取材，将古老的智慧和哲理化为充满洞见的文本，供有心追求成功和影响力的人浸淫、汲取。这次他再将其如剃刀般锋利的文笔挥向「人性」，带你看清决定人类行为背后你所不知的强大力量，如何影响个体的成败，左右人类的命运。 葛林认为，人类是社会动物，我们的生活始终围绕着各种关系存在。理解人类的所作所为，可让我们更能在社会立足，也是我们所能想像得到最有用的工具，或说能力。少了这种能力，即使拥有异禀天赋，也无法带我们走得太远。 本书带你走入历史长河，汲取如雅典领袖伯里克利、苏联头子史达林、催眠之父艾瑞克森、时尚传奇香奈儿、英国女王伊莉莎白一世、人权斗士金恩博士、石油大亨洛克斐勒等多位传奇人物的经历，说明促成人类行为背后你我所不知的18种原始力量，如：不理性、自恋、短视、欣羡、强迫症、防卫心、从众、挫败感和攻击性等，如何导引出许多惊人成就或人为灾难，而透过这些精采绝伦的故事剖析，我们得以学会如何在关键时刻跳脱情绪的控制，培养出自我掌控力、如何通透人性弱点发展出高度同理心、如何看穿人类的面具，以及如何抗拒群体力量，避免随波逐流，找到专属于自己的人生意义与使命感。甚至轮到该你演戏时，知道如何演好、如何适时加入 Event schedule **活动环节安排：** 本活动参与人群定位为上海工作和生活的喜欢英语、热爱交流分享的青年白领，及高校师生。 Other Schedule 其它环节: Heads up words guessing欢乐猜词， MBTI自我介绍 What is your personality, Never have I ever我有你没有， Truth or Dare, 真心话大冒险 英文版 英文私董会 Mentor for each other.

Not at all. If you plan to read or have read it, that’s great; if you haven’t touched it, you’re still more than welcome to join. Come and meet like-minded people and connect over the topic as well as the book. **How can I contribute to the discussion if I haven’t read the book?** The book is simply a conversation starter - our discussions often branch out into related themes, personal experiences and broader topics of interest.

Our gatherings are all about open conversations, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on any book that’s been captivating to you. **Is this group open to everyone?** Yes - this is a friendly and inclusive group, welcoming everyone regardless of gender, sexuality, or background.

💡Once you see the games of life… you can never unsee them. Last Sunday we explored a powerful idea: life may be made up of many different games we play—security, money, relationships, knowledge, service, influence, and awareness. But understanding the games is only the beginning. 📅In this second session, Adrian Cahill explores how these games interact, compete, and support each other. Participants will reflect on how different pursuits influence personal decisions, priorities, and life direction. 🎯When awareness increases, something powerful happens—we gain the ability to choose which games deserve our energy. 🎯This interactive MOTIVATE Community session invites deeper reflection on living consciously, aligning motivations with purpose, and creating balance among the many pursuits of life. 🎯Join us for this thoughtful and engaging conversation. **🎤 ABOUT THE MOTIVATE COMMUNITY** Our community is a not for profit, social enterprise. We share passion for personal and community growth and evolution. Started by Adrian Cahill, partly Townsville local, partly expatriate and international Coach.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, March 25 at Streetlight Guild. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. **SCHEDULE:** 6:45ish - Quick introductions 7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 8:00 - The End **OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. **BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild! **WHAT SHOULD I BRING?** Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you! **OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:** * **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space! * **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels. * **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay! * **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.

So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
