Most Pitiful Breakup

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.

8 Reasons to Date Travelers

There is a type of a woman who loves to walk around, she has taste, she has extensive knowledge, she knows books and manners. To men, they are like a mystery. The more they cannot guess, the more they want to guess. Guys, date girls who love to travel more. They are like an unfinished adventure novel. They have a different kind of terrifying charm that makes people want to know her more. The following 8 reasons explain why they are so "datable"!

1. Envious intellectual beauty

Intellectuality is the patent of mature women. They have more opportunities to go out, and store more experiences and life stories. This is the wealth of life. Such a woman will reveal a kind of wisdom that has been tempered by the years, and make people around her sneer.

2. Act as your social queen

What was said was not a chattering flower that started talking, but a woman who understood social etiquette. People who go abroad often know a little bit about social skills. They know what is the friendship of hosting, when they release their goodwill, and communicate with strangers in a non-hypocritical manner. This attitude towards others will make you feel comfortable with them.
3. Negotiation skills are handy!

They can retain the corners of themselves and know how to accept the smoothness of others, because mature travelers know that just a smile is enough to calm the distrust between people.

4. Know how to appreciate and reward yourself

Women who travel frequently often have extensive knowledge, from astronomy to geography. Intellectual women love life and walking around is a way to spoil themselves.

5. Dress up and tasteful life attitude

Taste may not be directly related to substance. Really tasteful women, beautiful is of course, because they can dress up. However, the clothes you wear and use are not necessarily the most expensive in the city, as long as you choose the style that suits you, you can also express a different style. Really tasteful womens’ knowledge will never be less. Women arm their minds with wisdom, not an expensive, vulgar thing. When dating a woman like this, men are enough to be proud.

6. Being independent, 0% princess cancer

Girls who are accustomed to going out are most confident, and they can distinguish clothing, food, shelter, and travel. This kind of girl loves freedom and is not afraid of loneliness. It is most suitable for men who do not like babysitting girlfriends and are afraid of womens’ obsession.

7. Be your travel guide

Independent travelers have rich experience in travel, ranging from navigation with maps, to cheap air tickets, and they are more familiar with catchpenny hotels than you in minutes. How can you not date such a funny girl and volunteer to be her flower ambassador!

8. Check out the future

In this generation, to test true love, you don’t need to share troubles via wars, and there is no need to cry out the trials of ghosts and gods. In fact, when you travel together, you will know more clearly whether the other person is the one you want to live with.

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'!

2016 大事回顧 2016 Self Reflections (Chin/Eng)

轉眼間，一年又過去了。

我的記憶力有限，只記着好事：

1）増進了知識及人生智慧
2）事業新方向及發展
3）遊历了新地方，也首次試了一个人的旅行

前面的路仍長，也会有新難关及挑战， 我相信自己能堅毅不屈的努力前行。
凡事平常心面对！

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 ordinarily calm heart!

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.
