The dance of miracles

Author: Joseph

In 1997, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the season, I opened up their college life.

Like most students, at that time I was not aware of Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft Word pass to me only to stay in the world's richest man, Mr. Bill Gates and Windows operating systems only.

At the end of 2005, is completing a Ph.d. thesis of my Microsoft propaganda Conference met Dean hung xiaowen.

Therefore, I have been in close contact with the opportunity of Microsoft Research Asia, and has since been valuable interview opportunities.

At that time, the Institute has been further understanding, but this kind of consciousness are confined to some interesting pictures and interesting adjectives.

I vaguely knew there was a top talent and full of opportunities and challenges, but still not sure whether it really suits the mystical work.

In 2008, the expectation of the Olympics have finally arrived in Beijing, China, and I have been working at Microsoft for two years.

Institute of mysterious and obscure because their two years of personal experience and gradually become clearer and clearer.

From my personal experience, the Institute is not only an enterprising, undoubtedly, is a respect for the individuality of each employee and extra-long diversified organizations.

Has a different nationality, culture, education, experience and growth environment staff here in harmony, active cooperation, but they each distinct personality and diversified talent also in the Institute have been fully respected and display.

Contributing to this diverse atmosphere of factors not only research more inclusive characteristics, lies behind the differences of commonality.

This similarity is bold, positive in the face of challenges and continue to go beyond self's personal qualities.

Different talent, the same quality

From that day on, I know this is not another class, you are not alone

In the past decade, Research Institute for their growing experience in the eyes of the world gradually build up the courage to innovation, talent, and lead the technology trends of the image.

Most people are not conscious of the Institute of high pressure with large, majestic and solemn. The rigorous and dedicated employees, it is very difficult to get people to expect this group of scientists like IT workers in other respects.

In fact, just enter the Institute, I have almost been Microsoft's big image and misleading.

Fear of a negative impact on the resume I even dare not mention their dance skills?. But starting after less than two months, I doubt it was a dazzling performances and thoroughly dissipated.

The beauty of the party not only to an exciting and innovative programs, each program more lies in the creation and performance by the Institute of internal staff completes.

And cast in even as Manager and President of such a character. Whether it is ingeniously comic and essay, or the enchanting songs and Opera will my mind the image of the researcher's nerd scrub spotless. At that time, I also had the honour to be with other colleagues successfully opening dance performances.

From that day on, I know this is not another class, you are not alone.

After a year, I and my colleagues zhubo cooperation fulfilled musical "cats" fragments of music recordings and performances, show results that many people mistakenly believe that Research Institute has hired a professional actor. In the following year's DV contest, I'm with Dean and other dozen members have completed short film "single story of filming. As an international team of Directors and the skipper, is both exciting and challenging. While team members intelligence and the coordination is also exciting and gratifying.

(In 2007 the year of the annual meeting of the cooperation with colleague Joseph Zhubo interprets music dance cats)

In fact in the Institute in similar activities and many, like me, many researchers have also.

From a background of Hollywood filmmakers to the profession of psychologist, from writing a remarkable writer to have national standards movement keysWill, almost everyone has some so unexpected. The Institute also provides a platform for members to display.

On the surface, some things that people do not think that is understood.

A group of highly qualified researchers, but where's the time and effort to develop these properties with the work without zhanbian hobbies? but in fact, these phenomena is not accidental. It is because of the diversity of commonality, behind only gives each employee so unexpected brilliance. It is a bold attempt, we have more opportunities to explore their own interests; and the courage to accept the challenge of faith is the potential of our hearts, let us have a skill in constantly better ourselves, refresh the self-confidence.

From a scholar, to dance coach

The so-called talent only from sweat, not despaired of will and careful consideration of the

In fact, at University, I have never skipped dance, even without an understanding of dance.

But it is this persevering personality, I have been following the story. But this experience just other researchers a miniature of the story behind.

Remember it was the University's first national dance, my first exposure to the light shines, dance music, strange environment of mud heart not by Christopher a tense and helpless emotional.

Born in the late ' 70 's I, in senior secondary school years of intense learning stages failed to jump out of the conservative and traditional constraints. And parents that generations of heart, dance or negative with a vaguely. These factors allow us to study this group to further study for life target children and do not understand how some fear guobiaowu and inconsistent.

But that day to see the high grade students with light steps to show the students the wonderful vitality and confidence, fluency is revealed with the art of breath and beauty, all of a sudden I guobiaowu views completely Subversion.

When that international standards for social dancing has become a norm of sport, the more determined to try an idea.

But it turns out, I am not a genius.

Even your own musical sense of harmony and are not bad, nervous and shy feelings or failed to become not an accident. Several unsuccessful test, I am very sorry to present at the meeting, next to the first looks to be from other people's experience of learning points in the dance. But the complex step in lighting and music interlaced galloping down more dazzling. So, I can only Daft's stood at a loss, and total loss of confidence and easiness.

At this point, I have two options.

First, the left the scene, overwhelmed and then completely forget about the matter of, laments the lack of art cells. Second, look for ways of learning, challenge their timid and shy. This experience, many people in College are met, and the majority chose the former, and thus arrive at their conclusions are not suitable for dancing. Fortunately, I chose the latter.

The day after the party, I take the sport dance course.

School teachers and students find gym a dedication. And after dinner, students can always see one in the stairwells alone immersed in dance exercise of boys. As long as a free, I'll never let the dance recalls any practice opportunities. Hostels in high-low bed into my leg press tools, after school hours back to the hostel's roads have become my practice stage. Interview coaching, I always appear at the most conducive to the observation of the location of the action. Some, such as summary, comparison, compare learning techniques were also used as I was learning to dance.

A year later, the tireless efforts finally paid off.

In the school of dance competition I also exalted Waltz, tango and ballroom dance points in the Championship. And those specialized students, I neither deep nor the basic skill of on-stage experience, I can do is hard and positive thinking. Since then, I was in school established sports Dance Association and President of the continuous period of two terms. The subsequent three years, I have been to dance school team leader positions, with some specialized students who participate in arts and performances. From guobiaowu to dance to modern dance; from Chengdu city in the Sichuan province, China Central television broadcast of the National College Arts Festival. At the same time, I also coach's identity as a group after group of students dance training. Many years of experience and reflection on dance, not only that I developed a set of easy to master the dance learning methods, also given me inspiration and creative dance. That led hundreds of people in the auditorium with the feeling of studying dance, it is estimated that in this life will never forget.

A few years, I train students in casual

-More than a thousand people. And excellent academic performance combined with comprehensive development, let me for quite some time to become a school focused on the recognition of objects and models. Afterwards, people began to use the "genius" and "very talented" to describe me. But I think that the so-called talent only from sweat, not despaired of will and careful consideration.

Many years of practice and performance is not only robust, my body, also gave me the confidence of the public.

The establishment of sports Dance Association experience also let me organizational and communication skills have been greatly improved. Since then, although less then dance, but this effect soon, various radiation to the race, debates, presentations, and other areas.

In 2006, I joined Microsoft Research Asia, the two embark on a company party, let me quickly integrated into this collective, quickly established a friendship with colleagues, and also help more people have the opportunity to understand me.

If you are not on the day of the first step, there would be no behind stories. It was a small step forward in the achievement of a big step behind. In fact, these results speak only the truth hidden behind me on "the courage to challenge, bold attempt to" have a more profound experience.

I am convinced that one can not only make a difference in school, but also their ability to expand into the professional realm outside.

At the same time, I strongly believe that difficulty is the ability of the grindstone, the experience is to enhance confidence and courage of opportunity.
