		<description><![CDATA[Fight Over a Check?
It&#8217;s a common scene in a Chinese restaurant here or more so in China that people fight vehemently over a check to pay.  I&#8217;m sure many Westerners would be baffled by this.  Why on earth fight to pay when you can relax and let the other party take care of it?

		<description><![CDATA[If you recall in my previous post, I listed what a mind wants.  Here is to refresh your memory of my definition of &#8220;mind vs. &#8220;heart&#8221;:
Mind:

Thinking faculty of a human being.
Mind is operated on logic, rationalization and reasoning.
Mind can be applied best when conducting scientific research that&#8217;s factual and data-based.
