I become a local hero.

Last weekend, early one morning, I was going down my apartment elevator and there were two small children riding with me, but I did not know them.

The elevator door opens and there is a dog at the door with it's owner. The children (who knows why) shrieked and this frightened the dog and it started barking, which made the children even more hysterical, so they grabbed me around the waist and tried to hide behind me; screaming the whole time.

The dog went even more crazy, he…

9 to 5

Oh well, what 9 to 5 is? We call our day job as 9 to 5. That's eight hours a day we're supposed to be working, which equates to 40 hours a week.

Do you think if you work longer hours than 40 hours per week, you can get more work done?

If you answer is positive, you may be wrong. In the early 1900s, Ford Motor ran dozens of tests to discover the optimum work hours for worker productivity. They discovered that the "sweet spot" is 40 hours a week — and that, while adding another…

Sweet confusion

How far is confusion from Illumination?
It is as far as man’s doubting mind and man’s loving heart.

You want to escape the confusion that you see before you.
You might never be able to escape the confusion
Unless and until you have escaped the inner battle
The confusion is your continuous doubt indulgence

If you want to solve all the confusion problems of your mind,
Then resolve to live Inside the illumination of your heart

The Tree of Life

I have just watched this film.

Kinda touched and made me tears and wandered Life.

Each image told me Life.

Natural life and Human life, some same ,some not.

I am eager to be hugged tightly by nature and by man.

I love nature , love man.

Nature can teach me how to love a man.

And man can teach me how to read nature.

Water,wind,leaf,sun,moon,etc, I WANNA FEEL.

Fingers, feet, eyes,breath,etc, I WANNA FEEL.

I wanna feel when…

Visiting the temple of God of mercy on a rainy day

蚕欲老 can yu lao

前山后山雨浪浪 qian shan hou shan yu lang lang
农夫辍耒 nong fu chuo lei

Rain

I let you stole my heart, or did I harpoon yours
Each morning is spring, at night comes autumn sorrows
I look at the shore, the rain is like no tomorrow
The clouds reflect your soul, am I too small too poor

After doubts and possession, one will reach the haven
Holding the keys, yet open the door is a dream
Looking at my diner, wait so many ravens
Angel or devil only, save me with their beam

Girlfriend

After over a year, I started to know the death news of my former teacher, right now it is still haunting me. And last night, I thought of Lan and this time I did not wait too long but just phoned her. But same as Ben (My foreign teacher's case), none answered my phone call. I felt confused. I found her sudden disappear on FB, and I knew she was so addicted to FB. Moreover, she was not on MSN or QQ for quite a long time.…

November

I decided to quit drinking alcohol (anything has alcohol) this month. Alcohol is not good for my body, bad for my skin. I don’t want to age so quickly.:-) I will frequent pubs/clubs much less, frankly, i don't like clubbing, rarely feel good in crowd.I will read more and do more exercises meanwhile!

Ask me out for coffee if you really like me and want to help. I will be very appreciative.

To change let's do it in French

A la belle impérieuse

L'amour, panique
De la raison,
Se communique
Par le frisson.

Laissez-moi dire,
N'accordez rien.
Si je soupire,
Chantez, c'est bien.

Si je demeure,
Triste, à vos pieds,
Et si je pleure,
C'est bien, riez.

Un homme semble
Souvent trompeur.
Mais si je tremble,
Belle, ayez peur.

Aging

Three weeks ago, we want to the small market in OCT. My 7 years old daughter was very interested in a necklace. So I encouraged her to ask for price by herself. Not many people were shopping although it was the Saturday afternoon, I guess it is normal for that area and that special market.

So she approached to the girl and asked: A yi (aunt), how much does this one cost please?

The girl and another girl sitting beside her broke into a loudly laugh, it was so brutal and… Continue

Value

Benjamin Franklin is an American legend. He single handily invented the idea of the “self-made man.” Despite being born into a poor family and only receiving two years of formal schooling, Franklin became a successful printer, scientist, musician, and author. Oh, and in his spare time he helped found a country, and then serve as its diplomat.…
