<p>Dear All,</p>
<p>I wish that 2011 fulfills many of your dreams! One of my dreams this year is to become a bestselling author, and I&#8217;d love to have your help!</p>
<p>I am running an Amazon Bestseller Campaign, offering over $350 value in free gifts for anyone who purchases the book on January 25.</p>
<p>The gifts include:</p>
<p>1)      Special report “Secrets of Succeeding in China.” 52 time-proven tips of doing business in China, covering product strategy, distribution, and cross-cultural communications ($199 value, yours free!)</p>
<p>2)       Whitepaper “Best Practices of Social Media Marketing.” Strategies that turn Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube into a revenue generating machine ($149 value, yours free!)</p>
<p>3)      First 10 people who order the book will also receive a free eBook of <em>The Chinese Dream</em> ($14.99 value, yours free!)</p>
<p>4)      An opportunity to win a three-day hotel stay in Rome, Italy ($1396 value, yours free!). <a href="#_edn1">[i]</a></p>
<p>To claim these free gifts, all you need to do is click on the link below and grab yourself a copy of <em>The Chinese Dream </em>($12.21), and email the receipt from Amazon to <a href="mailto:amazon1@TheHelenWang.com">amazon1@TheHelenWang.com</a>.</p>

<p><em>The Chinese Dream</em> is a great investment for anyone who wants to understand one of the most dynamic forces shaping our world today. Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor Joseph Nye, former dean of the Kennedy School and former Assistant Secretary of Defense, has recently endorsed the book:</p>
<p>“In a mere two decades China has developed the world’s largest middle class. Helen Wang tells that story – and her own – in this wonderfully informative and readable book.”</p>
<p><em>The Chinese Dream</em> can also be a great gift for the Chinese New Year, birthday, graduation, etc. A portion of royalties of the book sales will be donated to Natural Resources Defense Council and Half the Sky Foundation.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.<br />
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.<br />
<a href="http://helenhwang.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Powerful.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-769" title="Powerful" src="http://helenhwang.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Powerful-300x221.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="221" /></a><span id="more-768"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,<br />
gorgeous, talented, fabulous?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Actually, who are you not to be?<br />
You are a child of God.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Your playing small does not serve the world.<br />
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking<br />
so that other people won&#8217;t feel insecure around you.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We are all meant to shine, as children do.<br />
We were born to make manifest<br />
the glory of God that is within us.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It&#8217;s not just in some of us; it is in everyone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And as we let our own light shine,<br />
we unconsciously give other people<br />
permission to do the same.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">As we are liberated from our own fear,<br />
our presence automatically liberates others.</p>

<p>Sitting on the rock of Eagle Falls at the Emerald Bay in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Tahoe">Lake Tahoe</a>, when my heart was closest to the nature, I said the obligatory prayer:</p>
<p><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://helenwang.rdvp.org/goodlife/uploaded_images/rocks.0-704014.jpg" alt="" border="0" />

<p>&#8220;I testify, at this moment,<br />to my powerlessness and to Thy might,<br />to my poverty and to Thy wealth.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is none other God but Thee,<br />the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.&#8221;</p>
<p>So powerful that my mind&#8217;s eye<br />Sees the light of eternity.</p>
<p>So dim, and so bright, that I know<br />The pass is narrow and long.</p>
<p>So blissful that I am shown the way,<br />And my heart throbs with joy.</div>

<p>This Independence Day weekend, we went to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Tahoe">Lake Tahoe</a>. A hike to Eagle Falls gave me unexpected inspiration&#8230;.</p>
<p><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://helenwang.rdvp.org/goodlife/uploaded_images/Eagle-Fall-775566.jpg" alt="" border="0" />
<div style="text-align: center;">At the bridge of Eagle Falls,<br />A dying tree<br />Stands, strikingly,<br />Against the vitals of green.</p>
<p>A few inches below its roots,<br />The life-giving water creek<br />runs, ceaselessly,<br />toward the valley.</p>
<p>To the sky above,<br />The lifeless branch,<br />Stretches, desperately,<br />As if asking for its life back.</p>
<p>Alas, a narrow distance,<br />A thin line<br />Separates, eternally,<br />Life and death.</p>
<p>Nearby, beside it,<br />A young tree<br />Martyrs, peacefully,<br />To be in the arms of the eternal.</p>

<p><span>The Pearl River flows 1,500 miles from the south China plateau</span><span> eastward to the South  China Sea. It is one of the most beautiful rivers in China, with foliage flourishing on</span><span> its banks all year round.</span></p>

<span>In the evening, the lights on both sides of the river glow s</span><span>o splendidly that they brighten half the night sky.
