What is Construction?
• In the fields of architecture and civil engineering, construction is a process that consists of the building or assembling of infrastructure.
• Far from being a single activity, large scale construction is a feat of human multitasking.
• Normally, the job is managed by a project manager, and supervised by a construction manager, design engineer, construction engineer or project architect.

每個人的生命都有盡頭,許多人往往在生命即將結束時, 才發現自己還有很多事沒有做,這實在是一種遺憾。
人生是一張單程車票,失去的便永遠不會再擁有。 千萬別把美好的生命浪費在等待上,
把握現在,享受現在,才是最重要的。
把握現在
