Waking Up

photo by Lilly

Some people might hope that, in their own lives, someone would appear like a lamp who can give one or two advises of guidance to them about life.

After experiencing the ups and downs of life, I discovered that much of the wisdom of life is actually hidden in the bits and pieces of life.

If the rooster calls the sky, it will shine. If the rooster does not call the sky, it will still shine. The key is not if the rooster has called the sky to shine, the key is that who has waken up from the call. 

When one wakes up, a day is passed; when one does not wake up, a whole life is passed.

Comprehension:

Waking up every day is a new life.

Living healthy is the most important and happiest thing in the world.

Take advantage of the sunshine, go out for a walk! The grass, the trees, the flowers and the birds in this world are all beautiful. Don't let this wonderful time pass.

Implementing dreams

My childhood dream is about to becoming more true!! I still remember when my high school Psychology teacher asked us, 'What're your dreams?' My classmates answered occupations like doctor, teacher, scientist, artist, etc. However, I replied, 'I want to be a world traveler'. Looking at the map, there're around 190 countries in the world and I wanted to visit as many of them as possible in my lifetime. One of my classmates listened to my answer and teased me, 'Wow, Lillian, you have already thought about retiring plan?' I laughed and everyone in the class laughed too. NO, we don't need to wait to travel until we get old and wealthy. We can dream big and start small, most importantly, start now.

I'm very excited to save up $$ and go traveling around the world. Of course it'll take some time to arrange and implement between work, family, and travel. My goal is to achieve it in five years to finish stepping on the seven continents. By doing that, I aim at experiencing various cultures, documenting inspirations/business ideas, discovering myself, and becoming more open-minded.

Traveling certainly brings me happiness, fulfillment, and opportunities. I always agree that education and travel are two of the greatest investments of my money and time in life. Growing up in Asia and living in N. America, I have checked out two wonderful 'continents' (can't find any other synonyms for this word..). My next goal is Europe -> Asia -> Australia. I have many interests but traveling is my biggest passion. I enjoy finding ways to spend the least but to see the most.

My another goal is contributing the best I can to the societies and communities. I want to volunteer in numerous places and meet different people. Then, I can call it 'my life'!

Beginner's mind - Life is a Gritty Marathon

Merry Christmas!



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

Stay Positive!!

 

 

Be happy, stay positive!!

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.

Travel in 2012 and 2013

Nov 2012 Travel to Nanjing in China


Haven't posted anything here for a long time. And here comes the end of the year again.

I can see myself growing. It's nice to read back what I wrote before. Who cares about this blog. I wonder. I make this public, but I don't really promote it to people. It's been a contradicting need of self-awareness.

I don't expect people around me would read my blog, because I am sure there are so many more important things in their lives that they are more concern about.

If you are the person who is following my blog, thanks for your time! I hope this is helpful and inspiring to you.

女人三养 Three Cultivation for Ladies

世上没有丑女人，只有懒女人。
所以，女人要注重三养：保养，修养，涵养。
保养是皮肤和外形上的保养。
修养是仪态和礼貌上的培养。
而涵养就是知识和道德上的修为。
加油呀！女人们*

There are no ugly women in the world, only lazy women. Therefore, women should pay attention to three cultivations: maintenance, self-cultivation and elegance. Maintenance is the maintenance of skin and appearance. Self-cultivation is the cultivation of manners and politeness. Elegance is the cultivation of knowledge and morality. Keep it up! Ladies*
