Hope you did not lose sleep worrying about what you said the previous evening (hey most of us, your avid readers, do not know what you said anyway).And hope you have a good rest now.
A couple of minor comments about children swimming lessons based on my own experience:
1. For 5 to 6 year olds, swimming lessons are more effective if they are group lessons instead of one-on-one lessons – because they are more fun as the children can talk and play with each other during the lessons.
2. It is difficult for the children of this age group to focus on the “the right strokes” – they are too much work. Most children will swim with less accurate strokes for now, and more accurate ones later when they are older.
I am looking forward to reading your new article with great interests. All of your articles are highly educational and inspirational.

This is one of the best articles I have read on the underlying reasons for the Chinese real estate market tthat's skyrocketing, as well as the pontential consequences of it, because it distorts the “risk vs. reward”curve. All of your points are right on.
However I am a bit confused: Seems to me you are not the one who needs to apologize; you are the one who should be highly praised!
Totally agreed. And that’s exactly my point when I said: “you are not the one who needs to apologize; you are the one who should be highly praised”. Just to clarify, I said it sincerely, with no sarcasm implied.
In the current global recession, China has been the only bright spot that has managed not only to avoid shrinking of the economy, but also to show very decent growth. And that’s not to say there is no room for improvement or concerns for potential pitfalls. I think your article is one of those that provide clear leadership and vision for the direction for the Chinese economy.
While all sports are good, not a single one is complete by itself like swimming is for the entire body. Also, most sports have some risks for injury but swimming is essentially completely safe.
Use the example of biking: 1) It does not exercise the upper body; 2) Will cause permanent nerve damage leading to impotence for boys & men if riding too long 3) Murphy’s law for biking: you will fall and hurt yourself if you ride often enough
Thanks! That day my friends and I were riding our bikes on the mountains of Bedford County in Pennsylvania. On a steep decent, I was going at high speed of about 75 Km/h, and failed to see a sharp turn ahead of me. I lost my control at the turn, and crashing down head first.
It was my helmet that saved my life. The helmet split open into two halves on impact, and left a big bruise on the left side of my head (not shown in the picture). My friends called in an ambulance, and started crying as they thought I might die. It turned out that I was fine: no bone broken, no head injury, just some skin and muscle wounds (the wound on my hand took a year to heal, though).
I am glad that nobody is asking me whether I suffered any damage from the other risk of biking that I listed in (2) above
但我说这些话的目的，恰恰相反，不是说我不看好中国。
