Since the 7.8-Richter scale earthquake happened in western China, it has drawn much attention. In today’s conferences, the speakers mentioned the catastrophe and expressed their concern. During lunch time, two interpreters sitting beside me told me that they felt really anxious when they heard the sorrowful news, because the children under the disaster made them think of their own. “What if the child buried under the ruins were mine? How terrible! How will his parents feel! I must help!” The Women's Forum gave everyone a chance to donate money at lunch today, and they both donated a lot, as many others did. Tender Loving Care, I think, that’s our motto. However, the victims were not the only thing we took into consideration during the day.

After attending several conferences, I found myself really appreciating the stage the Women’s Forum provided for the audience to question and talk with the panels of speakers. Some of the questions were quite sharp and difficult to answer, but the speakers mostly did that wonderfully and wisely, which gave me a solid impression that if you want to be successful and strong, you have to be quick-minded and ready to face every possible challenge. And from my little conversations with some participants, I got a lot about what really concerns them. They were all friendly enough to share ideas with me.

While talking with them, someone mentioned that, in the past, women had to act like men if they wanted to succeed, to try to be as tough and hard as men were. However, the condition changed over time and some women gradually were able to build their own solution style. Now "women's style" is recognized, which I'm happy about, because personally, I don’t like the idea at all of having to act like men to be successful. I agree that the diversity can actually refresh the business field.

I do feel the urge to share my ideas with schoolmates since we are from SILC. We care about our career orientation and future. I believe the notion of “women's solution style” will help us young women, and young men, a lot. I can’t wait to tell them!
