Brexit: The withdrawal method
The debate on the EU withdrawal bill, which seeks to translate into British law 12,000-odd EU regulations, has centred on claims that the executive is usurping parliamentary powers. The bill seems sure to be weakened, in the upper house if not the lower, because of concerns that laws are being amended without scrutiny.

Lexit: Farewell to all that
In his 244th and final column as “Lexington” our current American politics columnist offers some parting thoughts. He says that Donald Trump spotted how Americans were weary of their country’s efforts to fix an ungrateful world.

For many Africans struggling to get onto the property ladder, “affordable housing” can be something of a misnomer
John le Carré: The writer comes in from the cold
George Smiley returns. “A Legacy of Spies”, Mr le Carré’s 24th novel, published today, brings the old spymaster back to the public stage. In what may turn out to be the author’s last book, the moral ambiguities in the conduct of the cold war and the blurry nature of treachery—the leitmotifs of his earlier novels—have given way to a bristling anger, even rage, over what Mr le Carré sees as the turpitude of the West

凡事唯有投入,結果才能深入; 凡事唯有付出,結果才能傑出;
凡事唯有磨鍊,結果才能熟練; 凡事唯有不煩,結果才能不凡。
能與智者同行,你會不同凡響; 能與高人為伍,你能登上巔峰。
你雖不能改變環境,但卻可以轉換心境;你雖不能樣樣勝利,但卻可以事事盡力。
Dr. Chao Yuang Shiang (PH.D in management), Assistant professor,Dep.of Finance,Nanhua University,Taiwan.
