Live with Stress and Reality



Have you ever read any people's blogs about their recent lives, especially the one that you used to hate before? I accidentally found out a person's blog, which I am interested in reading it right now. The person and I had some misunderstandings and arguments with each other when we were young. We used to be friends. However, we became two strangers after the argument because both of us said something hurtful to each other. After 10 years, both of us have grown up a lot and turn to be more mature. When I see her blog, I realize her emotions and impression towards human life and love. Ironically, we didn't even talk about our life goals and philosophy when we were still friends.

Her blog shows her confusion towards her goal and love. I experience similar identity confusion as hers, but hers is stronger than mine. I found out that she has a high expectation about her love, and an unsure plan of life. Each of her blog entry implies sadness and loneliness. Due to the fact that we do not keep in touch and that we are in different part of the world where are far from each other, I feel weird to cheer her up and leave her a comment in the blog after all these years. Therefore, I leave my words here for myself as well as for all the friends I love (hope you are reading my blog=)).

1. Everyone has his or her own stress. We cannot remove stress but we can live with it. Treat it as our motivation, our partner, and our supervisor.

2. Dreams are very important. Don't blame yourself if you cannot achieve the targets you used to have. Because you are in the right direction already, you just need to give yourselves sometimes to implement your dreams with different methods based on the reality. Try to know the rule of this game and play it well!

3. For the girl: I don't hate you anymore. I appreciate your writing skills and your personality. So I hope you can be happy and lovely in your life.

Opportunities


After watching the 10-year-transformation story of Lv Yan, who is the Chinese Top Model in Paris and New York, I realize that the key to success is going for each opportunity we have. Lv Yan gives me the impression that she is optimistic, brave to try, and she says "yes" to every opportunity. Therefore, she gains a successful life. She does not only gain fame and money, but she also maximizes her personal value in the fashion industry. I hope I can also treasure all the valuable chances in my life and become an useful person=)

Non-white and Quiet Christmas




Well, let's continue this blog even I finish my GE class, Geog 7. I never thought that I can make a 3D map by myself using the software. Technology is really amazing nowadays, which help us a lot.

In this winter, I went on trips as usual. Traveling makes me feel relaxed and eye-opening. =)

No snowing for this Christmas; the weather is warmer than usual. And it seems quiet on the streets during Christmas Eve and day. I wondered," Where do all the people go?" The quiet atmosphere was totally different from the Asian cities, such as Hong Kong and Seoul, during this happy holiday. In Hong Kong, people tend to hang out to enjoy the beautiful decorations, go shopping, and go to theme parks, while in the U.S., just a few cars and people stay outside, even no lights are on in houses. I guess people here prefer going on trips rather than staying at their hometowns. This is just an interesting cultural difference I realized in this vacation=)
