Nowhere ... near ....離...很遠

Words like `fabulous','wonderful`,`great`,`absolutely gorgeous', they don`t exist in Cantonese. It`s good, or it`s O.K. It`s very blunt, Cantonese. I appreciate that there are no fake words, but it`s hard to switch channels, sometimes,after.....

Got It?

Sometimes, by cautiously reading dogs’ or some animals mind and seeing what they saw, it might be able to handle all kinds, no matter how aggressive they are.



What does this mean to me? The concept is simple: a single position, and angle, can never offer us the whole picture of an issue; if you can’t see what the dog saw, you never understand why it bites you. So stay away from your usual position, leave your comfort zone, and grasp your opportunities to jump into a better future.

Got it?

Thank You !

I think it is very important to be true to oneself. Insincerity brings fake face and it will not help to develop the true friendship. There is a saying, “family could not be chosen, but friends can be.” This saying is so true. We have the absolute choice to whom we would like to be friends with and we would like to stay close with.


Fake, self centered and egocentric people will never be able to experience the taste of true friendship because of their selfishness. When we start to make friends, we tend to choose the people with same personalities. Same personalities bring the common topics to talk and activities to do together. Even though we have different of opinions, we try to look from different angels of those opinions and could stay in peace in spite of having disagreements.


Once we get to know friends, we learn more about friends. By doing so, it could also bring disappointment because the friends we think sincere turn out to be fake and egocentric. We learn something truth facts about their personalities which are contrary to the beginning. In this case, we have to make a decision whether we should stay close like before. If the particular friend is egocentric, it is better to keep some distant so that we could save ourselves from draining in those fruitless friendship.


But on the other hand, if we ever come across with true friends, we should not let go of the opportunity. We should cherish the every moment we spend together with them. Only fair weather friend would stay next to others whom they think would be advantageous for them. In times of difficulties, they could not be found anywhere, whereas true friends will stay and share the sorrow and difficulties of their friends. True friend accept his or her friend for who they are and who they are not regardless of their status. True friend has a best interest for others and would not sway away in need.

Life would be meaningless without true friend. Life is a long journey and not easy one to go through by oneself. There will be always the time we need to share our sorrow, joy and happiness. Therefore, it is a blessing and a gift from God to possess a handful of true friends in one’s life.

Passion

“Is this what you want to be? So what do you want to be?” This is the pair of questions I ask from time to time. For me, the element named ‘Passion’ is the key to success. Passion can be seen as a desire to achieve your goals. "Without having a goal, it's difficult to score." This quote from Paul Arden’s book ‘It's Not How Good You Are, Its How Good You Want to Be’ perfectly illustrates this point: No goal, no passion, no success. So here’s the fundamental question: What are you looking for?

City Flâneur

Have you ever strolled along our cityscape? Once in a while, I like to walk freely in the city in my leisure time without any companion, purpose, or even, without destination.


Walter Benjamin, a German philosopher, called travellers like this as ‘flâneur’. a French word with basic meanings of a stroller. Charles Baudelaire, a French poet in 19th century, is undoubtedly a major representative of flâneur. He transformed his steps and sights into prose in his book “Le Spleen de Paris” to record the process of urbanisation in Paris at that time.

Always bored by routine life? Why not stroll along and observe the city as a flâneur? Eventually, you will be able to discover the beauty of the city.
