BGM: Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson

小学刚毕业进入初中的那个暑假，我在回家路上看到一个音像店窗口的屏幕再放Smooth Criminal，当时就呆住了。

他是我唯一一个所有专辑都买的正版并且丢了还反复买从磁带买到CD，从小学买到大学的艺人

他是我能够在刚进初中就狂学英语的根本原因——因为要会念他的歌词，还要念那么快...

他是我的衬衣情节的初始

他是我第一次了解“气场与氛围”这个概念有多重要的人

他是唯一能让我老爸也跟着唱英文的人:“钉子螺丝”(dangerous!)

他是我喜欢黑色的原因

他是我唯一的偶像

本来想在今年实现从小的梦想，去看他的现场演唱会……

再见，MJ

BGM: unknown by unknown band from JZ Club

有点点可惜在JZ Club的时候没有听到这乐队的名字，不过还好，他们整晚的“实验JAZZ”——按照PP的说法——我们也很难接受啊。不过最好的，或者说最主流的一首被我偷拍下来了。只是当我意识到这首歌不错，赶紧掏出手机来拍的时候已经唱了一大半了。尽量忽略嘈杂的背景噪音吧，歌还是挺不错的。

19号在上海某小别墅里面做的葡萄酒会现场。PP拍的最好的照片之一。

左边的是DAVID葡萄牙某酒庄酿酒大师，中间的RUFUS是英国皇室御用酒商Berry Bros.&Rudd的中国代表，中文讲的不错；右边的Olivier，法国ecole-du-vin葡萄酒学校校长。19号整个上午都在浦东国际会展中心跟他搭档，做品酒会，对他的英语完全服气了。

上海小分队

 

BGM: Layla by Eric Clapton

父亲在整理照片的时候翻出了他和爷爷25岁时的照片。我也把自己的25岁的照片找出来，放在一起这么一看，看到了3个时代。

其实爸爸和爷爷并不是非常像，我也和爷爷不那么像。原因还挺复杂的，家谱当中我理论上应该姓刘，因为血缘上亲生的爷爷家是刘家。而父亲出生时是双胞胎，被抱给罗家做儿子，另一个则留在刘家。而罗家是血缘上的奶奶家，父亲的养父即是奶奶的兄弟。虽然血缘不是亲生，但是父亲常说三代是一样的，现在排一排看貌似老爹是对的。

BGM: Autumn Mood by McCoy Tyner | Yesterdays by Stan Getz

自从07年开始，因为JZ的现场受到小号的魅惑，到现在翻来覆去听MY FUNNY VALENTINE的两个版本CHET和MB的，都是因为小号。这首AUTUMN MOOD也是这样，完全是因为4:37的小号。虽然这首曲子是McCoy Tyner 97年发表的同名爵士钢琴专辑，但是整个六分钟的作品从后面3:34开始都是属于小号的。Yesterdays这个，则是整首歌都属于小号啦，特色是在2:21的时候。

貌似这是第一次放一首没有人声的音乐。完了，我是不是要开始变老了……

不过能在这里放这首歌可真不容易啊。首先我第一次“见到”，而不是“听到”这首歌是在北京某个靠近鼓楼的奇怪书店里面。也不能叫书店了，里面更像一个BAR，还在门口买了一个仿木头的笔记本。走进去后，黑漆漆的，墙上被客人画的乱七八糟的，不过音乐和氛围还好。然后在买笔记本的旁边，看到一排CD， Jazz & Blues Legends，非卖品，估计是某些杂志的赠送，但是这店是卖10块。随手看了一下Ella Fitzgerald，Louis Armstrong等等，懒得去网上找就买啦。

结果还好有CD那，网上是找不到的。BAIDU,GOOGLE都没有，别说MP3，就是能找到这首歌的介绍都非常少。EMULE上只有一个源但是没有PEER。找不到链接就只有自己上传了吧，可是我的源又是iTune M4A的，原来的CD虽然在手边，但是光驱又坏了。就只有去找音频格式转换软件，GOLDWAVE不行，winAVI不行，最后居然是千千静听自带的转换器搞定的。然后上传到公司服务器上，终于可以链接出来啦。

废话好多，真的变老了。

这两天讲座之后总是被各种同学围着，但是却提的是类似问题。有很多基本情况，重庆的大学生朋友们了解的确实太少，被中介误导的也非常的多。

首先，理工科的同学一定要清楚，虽然理工科的硕士拿奖学金比文商法科要高，但是硕士也分为授课类的和研究类的。而美国大多数的硕士都是研究类的（其授课类硕士通常都在LLM，或者较差的商学院里的非MBA课程，部分社会科学课程等等），英国则相反，大多数课程是授课类的，研究类的较少。简单的说，授课类的课程不需要你去泡很久的实验室，做很深的研究，而更偏向于怎么把已有的研究成果做成应用。而研究类硕士，不管是美国还是英国的，都是为PHD准备的，这是为什么研究类硕士比授课类硕士容易拿奖学金。也是为什么PHD拿奖学金的概率远远高于硕士。

然后，申请英美理工科研究类硕士如果不去跟faculty或者教授套词，那么相同背景能去到的学校会差不少。PHD基本上不套词不可能申请到——当然也有例外，比如背景已经很牛了，教授授意给AD COM看见相关资料就拿钱要人的也有。

由于商学院的问题太多，特别是最近问到读会计的非常非常多（貌似好多朋友都想去四大？）我先给几个最基本的提示：

1. 申请商学院跟申请理工科的课程有着巨大的差异。理工科相对更看过去，商学院不仅看过去，还要看现在和将来。

2. 美国的商学院很少提供非MBA的课程（比如市场营销，管理，金融等），前50当中提供此类课程的非常的少。比如如果你想读会计的Master，那么顶级商学院里面几乎没有这种课程，例如在HBS，就只有三个选择：1，MBA；2，PHD；3，EXECUTIVE PROGRAM。有些靠后的学校有，其课程设置跟英国的会计MASTER非常接近：课程长度是9月-1年的，不需要本科会计专业。比如University of North Carolina，总费用58k美元。英国很多类似课程也不需要本科的会计专业，也是1年时间，总费用20k英镑左右。

3.会计跟金融不要搞混淆，对于通常情况下的学位价值而言，金融大于会计，申请难度也是这样。但是不得不再强调一下，好的美国商学院当中，单独把会计和金融拿出来做硕士课程的概率很小，而英国很多。

4.本科毕业想直接去世界TOP30读MBA的同学，请回寝室继续睡觉。或者请出门左拐（www.chasedream.com www.vault.com ）。

5.申请美国好的商学院是考GMAT（因为课程几乎只有MBA），如果你申请非MBA的专业，那么有可能你需要考的是GRE。如果你不需要去好的商学院，那么可以不考GMAT。其实如果不去好的商学院，也就没有必要去商学院了。对于英国，OXBRIDGE和LES/IC会在部分课程强制要求GMAT和GRE成绩。而其它前十名的学校几乎都是建议你有GMAT/GRE成绩，也就意味着对你被录取的帮助很大。但是英国会给很多非MBA的专业出来，比如之前提到的金融硕士，会计硕士等等。对于这种课程，往往要的是GRE而不是GMAT，因为GMAT是对管理学设计的。

今天在重大本部的讲座是本次高校巡讲的最后一场。结束之后，如果有时间，我会写一个这次巡讲的评估，总结一下重庆各大高校提出的问题。

这几天每天有大量访问流入www.hambson.com直接导致挂机了……

网站访问不稳定，1、2天之内应该能恢复

川外的两场都是小场研讨会，回答问题的。所以最好提前准备好各种具体问题，比如“同时申请两个不同专业，PS怎么写”之类的。

---------3月24日---------

申明：今日在西政讲座最后答疑时间中，冲上讲台拿话筒讲话的女生与我个人、与HAMBSON & PARTNERS没有任何关联。她所提及的“任职与新东方”、“茗柯说‘不推荐’也‘不不推荐’去新东方”以及其它种种言论，均未得到我个人以及HAMBSON&PARTNERS的认可或授权。本次讲座也与新东方没有任何关联。

One year has past.

I will see you tomorrow, mother.

本月(3月)会与英国领事馆文化教育处联手在重庆各大高校去做讲座。现已安排的大学有重庆大学，川外，西政，重庆邮电大学。

主题初步设定为以下（或更多）：

1.世界顶尖高校申请技巧

2.留学以及名校的真正意义，以及你是否适合&需要

3.在内陆高校如何提升竞争力与沿海和北方高校的学生竞争

4.世界顶尖公司就职攻略

5.留学美国和留学英国的比较与分析（全英文）

我们也考虑去西南大学和重庆工商大学（请这两所学校里有兴趣组织讲座的同学联系我mingke.luo@hambson.com或者Henry Henry.luo@hambson.com)。

Thanks
