Grow while love

2007-11-07T23:26:00.000+10:00

I haven't written anything for sometime, but want to cut things short.

Love is a complex drink. It tastes bad at the beginning, but wait and you will find its ture beauty - after stay not to rinse your mouth too quickly.

I started to realise there are so much in the definition of love - so much that I never expect it to be.

I am more a man.

Love

It is hard to fall in love, so is to forget someone.

Friendship forever

2007-04-09T22:18:00.000+10:00

I just returned from a trip to Sydney visiting some of my best friends. Due to the recent emotional changes in my life, this trip became more necessary. I have been to Sydney three years ago, but this time is different, the city did not change much but I have. I can now see the same city from a different angle. The best thing in a person’s life is to have friends, good friends, and trustworthy friends. I am glad I have a couple of them in there. We had great time and lots of fun, which deepens our relationship again.

“
Ninety percent or more of your success in your field, and in life, is going to be determined by your “reference group.” There are defined as the people you associate with, work with, live wit hand spend time with. Dr. David McClelland of Harvard, in his classic, the Achieving Society (Van Nostrand, 1961), wrote that people adopt the attitudes, opinions, manners of speaking and dress, goals, ambitions, and worldviews of their reference groups. He found that a dramatic change in a person’s life and performance was preceded by the formation of a new reference goup.
”
Brain Tracy, Getting Rich Your Own Way, 2004

I have decided my own group, and will keep going ahead, because I am now a renewed person full of energy and motivation.

Meaning of life

2007-03-18T21:00:00.000+10:00

I wanted to write this post for a long time but couldn’t do it until tonight. I have been through some of the most dramatic change in my life so far. I don’t know where to start. I have tasted the first pain in my adult life. It was so hard, but at the same time I have also gained so much. I have learned so much and grown up so much. Life is long, I am still 24 and living healthy, there are so much ahead waiting for me to do, as a man. Life is short, I only have maybe half a century to leave, so I must be strong and brave to greet the future and make it better for me and my family.

Look here!

Singapore Trip

2007-01-12T22:20:00.000+10:00

My recent visit to Singapore was a pleasant one. I liked to city though not too sure about the humidity. The people in that country have left a big impression on me, Hospitable, polite and hard working. The city is extremely well designed and clean. Due to the high density of limitation of land, people all life in high-rises and the public transport is great. It is high frequent, cheap clean and advanced. That certainly reminded me that in Brisbane, where we have a train services every half hour and drivers blow whistles to close the doors and it makes you fell strange if not seeing graffiti or vandalism for two days. I personally saw a cleaner bending down to use a cloth to wipe away a strain of the floor in a subway.

We’ve grown up /我们长大了

2007-01-12T21:56:00.000+10:00

I’ve been thinking the title for this article for a while and finally decided the one here because there are so much happened around. Four years of overseas life have separated my apart from friends back home. I am curious about what they think and what is happening to them as much as to my home country. I guess what I want to say here is they (friends and country) have changed so much, just like me.

We are now more mature and grown up, no longer needs our parents like used to. There are people gone overseas, got married, lost life, had children, working. This is the stage our life and views are rapidly being changed and everyone seems to have their own little world.

I wish them all well.

我为这篇文章的题目想了许久，不为别的，只因周围的人和事都变化太大。四年的海外生活把我和故乡和朋友分割。我对他们现在的生活充满好奇。我想我想说的是他们都变化太多，就像我自己。

我们现在都长大了，变得更成熟了，不再像以前那样依赖父母。我们中间有的取得海外，有的已经结婚，有的甚至有了小孩，有的工作，还有的永远离开了我们。我们的观念在这个阶段迅速形成，好像每个人都有自己的小世界。

我祝福他们。

My First Post / 我的第一帖

2007-01-11T20:42:00.000+10:00

It seems to have been a long time modern people started to write their own thoughts on the Internet called Blog or (Web-log), but I, a 24 year old IT professional now, didn’t feel it is so attractive. Until recent days, inspired by other friends and the acquisition of my first digital camera, I feel that I need to write something to share with other people.

You will see my thoughts, view of the world and interesting things through this window.

生活在现代社会的人们好像从好久以前就开始了发表网络日志。而我，现在已经是一个24岁的信息产业专业人员却对它一直没大兴趣。直到最近，受朋友的启示和我购得的第一部数码相机的冲动，忽然觉得有必要写点东西与他人分享。

你将可以透过这扇窗户，看到我的想法, 体会我的观点和分享我的趣闻。
