I am a tree, rooting in this new land.
You are a bird, flying in this free sky.
When you feel tired, lonely, and frustrated, I hope to embrace you with my branch arms for you to rest on.
I absolutely believe that you can fly to the highest, the furthest, and the best. However, what I really care about is if you are healthy and happy during your flight. You can create nests and start families on my body. No matter how strong the wind is, how hot the sun is, or how heavy the rain is, I am still me, I am still serving you wholeheartedly. Big wind and heavy rain make me grow faster and stronger!
One day, I will grow old, get sick, and pass away. My soul and shadow will be captured in your memory. My ash will be spreaded on this tree. When a flower dies, it’s selfless, its leaves and petals become the fertilizer of the nature and help the other flowers grow. I am still that tree which has helped the other lives grow. 🌳

Entertainment is so important to keep life going. Any stress relief activities that make people happy including myself? I'm in
St. Paul's Coeducational College (SPCC) - an awesome school that I spent my age of 11-18 there.
This centenary school has taught me many things - how to swim, sing, dance, learn, volunteer, be confident, and be a leader. My fellow schoolmate Jason created the following song to celebrate the graduation class of 2014 and filmed every remarkable corners of the school, bringing me back to memories :) Hope you enjoy it as well!
Perhaps when we were young, we didn’t mind short-lived dating, because we didn’t settled for a long term relationship. However, when you have seen one firework cools down after another dies out, you will realize that there are many fireworks every year, but only the one which can maintain the heat continuously can truly warm peoples’ hearts. This fire, which can be kept hearty for the rest of life, is called True Love.
It's never a pity to break up for money, not to mention only for the 100,000 lottery winnings. I dare to say that, if you don't break up, you will definitely lose more than the current loss soon. The real pity is to break up for love, but you still have to break up when you are still in love. You have a hard time to say, and you can’t argue. You can only kill your front teeth and swallow the blood. This breakup is really a pity.

In a flash, a year passed. My memory is limited and I only remember good things:
1) Increased knowledge and wisdom of life
2) New business direction and development
3) I visited a new place and tried a solo trip for the first time
The road ahead is still long, and there will be new difficulties and challenges. I believe I can move forward with determination and perseverance. Face everything with ordinarilycalm heart!
Very inspiring 10 Ted Talks to recommend which might worth more than a MBA:
Process>Outcome
Smartness is a talent and Kindness is a choice. I feel that Kindness is more precious to find in Today's Society.
They are all very insightful speeches. My favorites:
3. Angela Lee Duckworth: The Key to Success? Grit.
4. Srikumar Rao: Plug into your Hardwired Happiness.
6. Ramsey Musallam: 3 Rules to Spark Learning
1. Carol Deweck: The Power of Believing that you Can Improve
You can do it!! Say a positive thing twenty times to yourself when you are feeling down. Your subconscious mind will sense it and brighten your mood!
Set short and simple goals and achieve them, then you'll feel happier about yourself.
If you try to achieve a big and challenging goal but you are not running while everyone else is running to achieve it, you'll feel frustrated. If so, there are two options: either you set a lower expectation that you can walk to meet it, or you keep a high expectation but make sure you run and be aggressive enough to satisfy it.

As youtube, facebook and microblog are popular, blogs relied on writings, such as xanga and blogspot, lose their popularity. However, I still think words are more powerful than images. It's because writings show a person's knowledgeable thoughts, life philosophy, and level of writing skills. Sentences leave readers a space and time to imagine. Reading and writing cultivate patience in our minds. In contrast, eye-catching images and videos have already quickly exposed the realistic pictures and facts. Therefore, I would encourage people around me to keep the valuable habits of writing and reading.
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=)
