When you are reading newspapers or magazines, what is the most eye-catching headlines that you would like to read? why?

I like to read new about technology, travel and murder case.

First, I like anything fresh and interesting. Reading about technology headlines can keep me up to date with the most current industry (Since I am in this industry). Also I can realize what skills I need to reinforce to help me with my job.

Second, travel can broaden my horizon. Although I may not remember everything first time I see it, getting similar things over and over will help me remember the stuffs I have been through. Plus, travelling around the world allows me to observe the cultural impact between different countries; therefore, it expands my global view.

The last, reading news about killing sprees makes me hot-blooded. Analyzing the killer’s motives and how he/she plans helps me understand what kind of perspective I need to prepare myself with to get things done (not killing people of course).

All my friends know that I am nature-oriented guy now. I have read many magazines and a lot of people ask “why mountain-climbing?” Is it worthwhile to go through all those physical pain just to enjoy the amazing view at the mountain peak for two minutes? To me it is an activity that requires both physical and mental strength. I have to take a decent weight of necessary equipment in the mountain. And I also need to understand the trip schedule and pay attention to team members’ health condition and see if they are just pretending. Astronomy, botany, cooking and emergency handling are very important subjects for me to learn and they may come in handy from time to time. Many people encounter accident in the mountain because they overestimate their condition and they want to succeed at once. I want to advice, if I may, people who is interested in mountain climbing for the first time to consult with experienced climber fully practice with easier one before going to a perilous mountain.
