Dear Blog,
Ever since the Japan quake and tsunami news broke out,and ever since I saw how horrifying the sea water storms North East Japan like a walking wall of water, sweeping through fields, human, buildings... I've been thinking a lot.
I've been asking myself:
Q: What are the activities that have consumed your time lately?
A: I've been into this Looklet.com , spending hours on mixing and matching outfits.. I've been studying Mandarin...and yep, I think that's all?
Q: Are these activities making you a better person?
A: Not really...maybe a little, yes.
Q: Have you made yourself useful today?
A: Umm..well I put some effort in group meeting today...I shared my thoughts with a friend...I made some jokes? does that count?
Q: Have you been praying and ask for God's guidance everyday?
A: Nope.
Q: If you lost your newly bought iPod, if you lost your MacBook, all your clothes, your super precious Blackberry, your passport..If you have nothing in your hands but yourself, then what would you do?What is now left in you?
A: Umm.. I can't rely on those things, really...No matter how much I treasure them...I guess..only my brain, my mind, and my heart that really stay with me wherever I go while I'm still alive.
Q:So where exactly should you invest in? your family? your friends? Is it your firm? or a new house?
A: I suppose, I should invest in knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. By having all that, everything else will follow.
Typing all these is surely easier than done.. But at least I have something..kind of like a guideline that I could always refer back to whenever I'm lost in myself.
Alright, it's 9.03PM in Beijing, and I should take a rest. It's been a long day today.
Good Night.
