“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

I write the two issues here together because they share a similarity, which is “the conversion between the units” used in computer system. To be specific, it is a matter of how computers convert bit, Byte, KB, MB, GB, etc, to each other. Now let’s see the problems.

       其实有关GRE写作的感想和心得，网上已经有无数的前辈总结过了，我在入门阶段也是参考着他们的经验来的。但是，很不幸，我是一个懒人，因此通常来讲，传统的模板、背范文、背事例、建立固定提纲等方法对我不太有效。我曾经尝试过这些方法，但最终均以各种“看不懂”和“没坚持下来”而不了了之。可是，GRE写作部分又是一个躲不开的命题，因此我就索性随性的做了起来。当然，最终效果还不得而知，但至少从准备到实际考试的过程都很顺利。
