Overview
About Me
"What hurts more, the pain of hard work or the pain of regret?"
I keep reminding myself about this. I know I am lazy, I am an escapist who prefers to avoid stress and difficulties, I am not good enough and whatever. Somehow, theses slogans cheer me up and make me stronger to fight.
Also, it reminds me that the greatest regret is the great timing missed for the great thing you want to do. The best timing is not in the future, but in the present.
"With a lot of things, if you don't do them now, you will never have the opportunity again"
Sometimes, you just need to put down your pen, computer and briefcase, to do something about your dream. I want my life being full of smiles and being meaningful. The meaning of life is about the self-achievement and self-actualizing, by one's unique definition, like helping people, earning money, doing your professional aspects or your interest, making yourself smile and so on. Apart from that, I believe life is the learning process from the nature and people, so as to identity our directions to achieve different things. Different people got different missions to finish. It seems destined. Thus, we have different dreams. We have different feelings, emotions, impulse for the same thing. Thus, I believe that "following your heart" will bring me to the wonderland, or some places I belong to.
In addition, I think the life is the days we use for...
we meet different people. we talk to other, and then talk to ourselves at the same time. we see others, and then see our true self. we identify who we are, know what is human spirit.
Undoubtedly, travelling is the great opportunity to see how people live in other places. Lives are changed after intersections. I m very looking forward to this learning experience.
Sometimes, I ask myself what is the meaning of travelling, what is a good travelling experience by others' definition, by my definition. It is so complicated. The answer may hardly be gotten.
But I m sure that I will understand something meaningful about life in travelling.
In the past, I regarded travelling as a tour which brings me to different tourist attraction and spot.
Now, i think it in a different way, more like a cultural exchange.
And, I just want to be human by my very effort, but not a standardized machine with all default setting. Do something only human can do, and do something only I love to do. Don't copy the others, even yourself in the past.
All of the above are the ideas and values I have been thinking, encouraging and trying to do about.
"I don't wanna be Jordan, I don't wanna be Magic, I don't wanna be Bird or Isiah. I don't wanna be any of those guys. When my career's over, I want to look in the mirror and say I did it my way.” - Allen Iverson
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
"No story lives unless someone wants to listen." - J.K.Rowling
The simple answer of this blank is that I want some stories happen. This includes yours and mine.
I can share my school learning experience, my childhood, my living in Hong Kong and the local culture, Chinese history and culture, travelling experience, my values, my understanding, my story... And it is my great pleasure to listen about yours!
The most importantly, I want to make friend with you. I cherish the friendship, which can not be sold, or even bought.
"Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you have to say. Best friends listen to what you don't say!"
Interests
Basketball must be the first thing I share here. I love playing basketball. It has been teaching me a lot. Also, I love NBA. It has been telling me many passionate stories and great moments, and showing me that it is more than a game. Tracy Mcgrady is my favorite player, and Boston Celtics is my team. If you have this same interest, let's share more with me.
Besides, I love watching films. It is a fantastic world that the dreams come true. All the imagination seems possible. And it can enlarge our minds which means to inspire and enlighten as if the directors write some off-screen scripts about his thoughts for the audience. The most interesting thing is that different people get different meaning and feeling from the same film.
In addition, I love listening music. Soundtrack of the films like Interstellar and the Hans Zimmer's music, Cantonese Music, "Mandopop", epic music, sad and sorrowful music are all my favorites. I enjoy listening music because it can enlarge our emotions and evoke the deep feeling and thought.
Last but not least, I love talking with others to share my experience and point of view and listen theirs.
