  When was the last time you came across an online ad?  Yesterday? Last week? Last month? Or maybe never?    It is an proved fact that consumers are even less convinced by the advertisements they see. According to the following research: Only 14% view commercials as trustworthy, yet 78% take in a friend’s or any online reviewer’s opinion as a reliable source. Consumers are now smart enough to look past the fancy packaging of a product, hence the birth of “embedded marketing” and other promoting strategies as such. On the web, a new form of media is also

Courage, Breaking through Physiological and Psychological BarriersChallenge on Suhua Highway   On the fourth day of the cycling trip around the island, this year’s exhausted cyclists faced the most rigorous section of their journey. This section was also a controversial part of the original route path. The young people were not familiar with cycling or trained.

The Power of Repetition G!VOICE Recommend   「＂If you only do things in the heat of the moment, you would fail; but if you do it persistently for a long time, you would succeed.＂We often think that repetition is boring and lacks sense of achievement, but professional personnel enjoys repeating and they are persistent in whatever they do. This book mentions that if you want to be a professional on one subject, you need to invest about 10,000 hours on it.
