I read from the web the following words for our 25th wedding anniversary today !
Silver Wedding Anniversary is a milestone-wedding anniversary. Spending a quarter of a century together calls in for a gala celebration.
Silver is definitely the symbolical gift for a silver jubilee. The occasion is special reflective of a life of unity and promise.

Trust-Building : 10 ways to bring back trust
I borrowed a book by Andrew Leigh on The secrets of success in management this afternoon and went to his mentioned website www.maynardleigh.co.uk to find the following ten rules on trust building :
Trust makes the quest for engagement achievable. Without it engagement shrivels and dies. To generate trust though depends on a steady accumulation of the right kind of actions. These include:
1) Speak out: encourage people to say what they think and challenge existing procedures
2) Listen: managers really listen to people, not just talk at them
3) Cultural differences: these are both recognised and respected
4) Emotional intelligence: leaders and managers demonstrate empathy
5) Consistency: managers say what they mean and mean what they say
6) Relationship building: this has a high priority across the organisation
7) Fairness: decision making is expected to be objective so those in a weaker bargaining position are not exploited.
8) Openness: open communication allows all employees to share their concerns with management.
9) Integrity: managers and leaders model ethical and socially responsible behaviour
10) Shared values: these are constantly articulated and checks made on whether these are being acted upon.

Vacation in Mainland
We went on vacation last week in mainland for a five days trip.
It' s worth for the year when we can go together. It's hot summer time but as it rained and so cooling off a lot when we were around! The BEST memory to me is to go up Taishan in Taian this time where last time I went almost thirty years ago !
