Hello one and all, I am a lawyer and professor of law, English and business in the United States and China. I enjoy working with many different types of people of all ages. It is my belief that to achieve success, a person must find a balance in life__between hard work, (or study) and leisure time, but one should never stop learning. Furthermore, a sense of humor is a must, and we should learn to laugh at ourselves.. Last but not least, I view life as a gift,, and something that we should never take for granted.
