About my Chinese Name: 习移山

习 Xi (to learn) 移山 Yi Shan (to move a mountain)

I have taken a Chinese name that resembled the sound of my Hebrew name.
The last name 习(xi) means to learn which is something I like to do, as well as teach. (I have dropped the “van” of Sivan).
The first name 移山Yishan means to move a mountain.  It is similar to Yesha (in English and Hebrew) plus “n”.

The first name also relates to a famous Chinese story about Yu Gong Yi Shan who moved a mountain.

Here’s a summary from http://history.cultural-china.com

In ancient times, there was an old man in front of whose house were two high mountains, making it very inconvenient for him to come and go. He gathered his family and started to level the mountains. His neighbor scoffed, “You are foolish. You are too old and weak to level a small hill, let alone two big mountains.” But the old man said, “I have sons, and my sons have sons. I will have endless progeny, but the mountains won’t grow any higher.” The spirit of the “Foolish Old Man” moved Heaven, and it sent two immortals to move the mountains away.
This idiom describes an indomitable will.

How to connect with me on social networks:

  • If I know you, we will connect. If I don’t we should not (most sites today have a follow ability please use it). I try to make sure I personally know my social “friends” (in a course, lecture, etc).
  • If you are my student please, when you connect tell me that you are in which class/university.
  • If you are a master level student and above (MBA, Ph.D.), please wait until I have given all classmates their grades before you ask for help in work, suggest joint projects, etc — it is more ethical that way.
  • If you are a BA/BSc student, please wait until you are in the last semester to ask for a recommendation on LinkedIn, or to ask for help in work or links.
