A Great Day

Typing my blog at 0:30 am whilst listening to one nice song “不得不爱” （”Cannot help falling in LOVE”） sung by two Taiwanese singers which is just released…
“…Cannot help falling in LOVE, or where happiness comes from; Cannot help falling in LOVE, or where sadness comes from; Cannot help falling in LOVE, or I gotta lose my future…”
The lyrics are just simple, but quite practical. The people who are falling in love generally are just simple, emotional when facing their lover and easily get happy or sad by every little thing done by his GF or her BF. Of course, I am one of these. That’s why I like this song. :p

A Great Day

Saturday morning, I got up around 9 with a beautiful sunshine and went out right as what I have planned --- shopping route for one nice shirt for my GF as well as some other casual stuff for myself. I was just surprised that there were only a few people when walking into the streets and shopping malls and then realized that today was Saturday and most of the people have to go to work and school during the weekend after the long national holidays. (Huhu! That’s something about my company’s intelligence that we chose to work on last Thursday and Friday and have this weekend off to escape from the busy city) So my shopping plan was quite efficient. I got the shirt for my GF with the right size after 3 shopping malls in a row and the time was exactly 11:45 am. I am quite happy and excited still because we spent one whole afternoon on finding it several days ago, but failed finally. But I made it so quickly. She must be very happy as well.

Then I decided to meet Carlos and Rohit at the metro city and go for lunch at IKEA together. We walked about 20 mins under the nice sunshine whilst chatting about Carlos’s BBS issue. Actually it was my first time to have lunch there and just realized that it’s quite delicious and cheap, tasty dessert, good fries (much better than the one in KFC and McDonald’s), awesome coffee and fair main dishes. I will definitely bring my GF there next time.

After the 2-hr lunch, we went to one DVD shop in Gubei which has heaps of DVDs and good quality with 10 yuan each for DVD-5. We stayed there for 1 hr and they two got a good deal. And I am planning to go to this DVD shop once 3 months to build my collections.

I went back home around 5 pm after I had my hair cut and they two planned to go to Banana Leaf with Zhenia for dinner. They had a nice meal I think.

Well, I really enjoy relaxing myself by walking around under sunshine, meeting my friends, having some exercises and of course dating (which is my priority) after the whole intensive workdays. That’s my life and I wanna make the perfect balance between my career and life. So I am trying…

Incredible…Congrats!!!

Whilst reading the posts on nomadlife, I am so thrilled to hear the news that AIESEC has received a NEW grant from the U.S. Department of State (MEPI) to open AIESEC up in THREE new countries, Oman, Bahrain and Qatar!!!
Wow! What an awesome, fantastic, huge achievement! It seems that we gotta have over 100 MCs sooooon! ^o^

Quote from Monday Morning Messages

"It is an experiment worth trying to be alone and to be quiet for a brief period every day. Under city conditions it may be difficult to carry out, but most of us could do it if we tried." -- Robert J. McCracken

My friend Melissa sent a message to me. In the message, she pointed out a place near the downtown area of our city that I did not know about. It is located on a street that does not get much traffic or attention and is hidden from view by trees and a fire station. With an open green lawn and a nice brick pathway, it is only a few minutes walk from my office, and it is a nice place to stop during the day to relieve some stress and to think. Melissa wrote, I thought you might like to know of a quiet spot to enjoy from time to time during your busy days.

Most business, government and community leaders rarely consider the importance of building a quiet moment or two into their daily schedules. But nothing can be more effective in helping you to be creative than to stop the rapid pace of your schedule for at least a brief period each day to think and reflect. Innovation and success in both your personal life and for your team require you to do more than just aim and fire as rapidly as you can all day long. To achieve greatness in whatever you pursue, you must pause occasionally to challenge yourself and your ideas, not in the bustle of a busy office, but in a quiet environment where you can truly reflect.

Are the stress and discontent that naturally build up during your day, preventing you from performing your best? When was the last time you scheduled some quiet moments into your daily schedule? Where can you quickly slip away when you need to pause, reflect, and consider your ideas without being distracted?

This week find a quiet spot that you can go to each day in order to be alone and think. Great thoughts will not come to you while you are in a frantic, get-through-the-work-as-fast-as-I-can routine. Include some silence in your daily work schedule and allow your soul to be visited from on high so that you can truly give your most inspired and best performance.

To achieve greatness is whatever you pursue,
you must pause occasionally to challenge yourself and your ideas,
not in the bustle of a busy office, but in a quiet environment where you can truly reflect.

Debut

What shall I start to talk as my virgin blog? I was always thinking of it since I made up my mind to write something 2 months ago right before my graduation from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. But finally, I simply deicide to quote the artful, moving, beautifully crafted movie – “I AM DAVID”, which raised a strong unexpected emotional impact on me. Also it’s because of the name itself.

An extraordinary family adventure, “I AM DAVID” follows a twelve year-old boy as he boldly escapes from an East European prison camp and makes an incredible personal journey to freedom. Fleeing with only a compass, half a loaf of bread and a sealed, secret letter he must carry across the continent, David cannot foresee the dramatic odyssey that awaits him. From stowing away on a ship bound for Italy, to facing his fears of the dangerous outside world, to the unexpected revelation of his true identity, David discovers for the first time the real meaning of courage, trust, laughter and hope.

The entire story tells us to “Believe in the Power to change your Destiny” and it’s the philosophy inside me as well. Also I think, as an AIESECer, that’s the belief we always holding and striving for.
