Words speak louder than pictures

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.

執著 Loss and Gain

人為何執著呢？因為我們對某些事情認真，投放了大量的心血，最後若結果不如理想，就會失望。 我們會執著於不同之事，如成績、感情、事業、金錢，甚至自我形象。當我們在只著眼於自己失去了什麼，抱怨自己有多不幸時，為何不慶幸自己得到了多少呢？我們仍活著，還有寶貴的時間、親友無私的關懷、以及上天的眷顧。

「失去」只是襯托「得到」。：）

Why are people persistent and stubborn? Because we are serious about certain things, we put in meaningful efforts during the process, and in the end, if the results are not as good as expected, we will be disappointed. We will cling our emotions to different things, such as grades, feelings, career, money, and even self-image. When we only focus on what we have lost and repeat how unfortunate we are, why not be thankful how much we have gained? We are still alive, with precious time, unselfish care from relatives and friends, and humanity wisdom.

"Loss" is only to "gain". :)
