Welcome to my drawer full of random thoughts. These were inspired and collected after I wake up, during a shower, in the middle of a meal, before a Skype chat, or even when I procrastinate from writing my final paper. :) Leave me a comment, ask me something, or tell me your stories. I would love to talk to you!

Why were you born?

Have you ever wondered why you were born? 

You were born to live. To live is the main responsibility of being born, but not everyone fulfills that responsibility well. 

A lot of people live other people’s lives: friends’, parents’, idols’, brothers’, sisters’, and professors’. You were born to be an unique color in the social clutter of other colors. That is how a palette of colors is created, from those unique colors: you.

If everyone was the same, then there is no need to have another you born in this life. Human will then not be human. We would be robots which are programmed to be exactly the same. The mosaic above would simply be like this. 

So yes. Pay full respect, appreciate, and embrace your uniqueness. You are special. I am too. There is no point of trying to live other people’s lives. For me, to live is to make everyday of living worth. By worth, I mean to contribute to make a better environment for people around me. People’s embraces and sincerity to others are what make the social mosaic lively.

Live your dreams. Do what you like. Act as how you think it should be. Love and embrace the uniqueness of other colors around you. That’s what live is all about. To be born is to be yourself, and to be your own color.

This is for you!

What are words if you really don’t mean them when you say them
What are words if they’re only for good times then they don’t
When it’s love. Yeah, you say them out loud those words, they never go away.
They live on, even when we’re gone…

缘分把我们连了起来。现在我们分开也就是缘分的主意。如果真的有缘分以后就做好友。我会过得好,等到那时候,我们会再一起玩儿。以前有事情会都忘了,永远做好友,如同那边海,永远不改变。

If I went back to college again, I’d concentrate on two areas: learning to write and to speak before an audience. Nothing in life is more important than the ability to communicate effectively.
