Lady First 專欄（63）－ 後悔
如果係咁，個世界會唔會變得比宜家美好？我哋嘅日子又會唔會比宜家過得更好？

(By success I mean that the standard is implemented and gets used; byfailure I mean that it is either not implemented or ignored.)
Implementing and using a standard has costs, and people are lazy . This implies that a standard's chances of success aregoing to depend a lot on its benefits relative to the current statusquo
The risk continuum for standardization success
Following on from the three stereotypes of standards approaches : so you have a standard. Now, how likely is it tosucceed, or at least to be implemented (since standards more or lessnecessarily fail if they're never implemented)?

At one end of the continuum is pure documentation , where thebehavior the standard calls for already exists and so the standardis 'implemented

最近偶爾需要提早一小時工作，幸好我對早起這回事是毫無感覺的。 即使不是工作需要，我也早起。
教書的時候，我幾乎是全校最早到的人，有一年還無聊到跟一位教數學的同事比賽誰更早上學。提早上學的好處是多些時間改作
Tips for a Vacation in Rome, Italy
Spagna - the Spanish Steps, at sunset.
Rome, Italy is a truly beautiful city, and a very worthy destination for people of all ages. After having spent four days in Rome, and a couple weeks outside of Rome, I've learned a few things that would, in my mind, be helpful tips for anyone else following in my footsteps:
