I don't fit in well where the scope of endeavor is limited.

Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.

And here's the wildly counterintuitive good news: by stragically engaging in activities that have no apparent connection to your professional specialty, you can actually become more proficient in your field.

我不明白为什么会有这么多男人喜欢找私家侦探跟踪我，侵犯我的隐私。从以前到现在，已经有七个了。这些男人跟我非亲非故，根本无权干涉我的隐私。就算是我的男朋友，也无权干涉。连基本的尊重都不懂。

他一直以来都不值得你去爱、也不值得你为他付出。。。现在，他也不值得你尊敬了。。。你的未来不应该有他的存在，毕竟他不值得。。。

 



Dare to Dream

It's unbelievable that many people think I can be easily fooled. Though I don't look smart, it doesn't mean that I can be easily fooled. Moreover, I am a thinker and I am a woman. (Being a woman, I am naturally intuitive.)

不知道为什么前两天心情很不错。。。虽然前阵子为了一些办公室政治而感到困扰。。。 或许是因为有病假不需要回去上班，所以比较开心。。。又或许是因为我已经懂得释怀。。。又或许是因为我选择原谅。。。毕竟前几天差点又中风。。。

Peace at What Price?

In the past, I sought peace at all cost. But after having been frequently bullied by people at work over the years, I am no longer willing to sacrifice my right, etc just to keep peace. After all, why should I keep peace when others are not willing to do the same? Is it worth keeping peace when it's not reciprocated?

该放手了(Time to Let Go)



刚写了这首歌。。。是时候放手了。。。真的该放手了。。。是时候迎接新的恋情。。。不要再为了一个不值得你付出的男人而掉眼泪了。。。把眼泪收好。。。不要再为了他而掉眼泪了。

I feel stressed by my male colleague's harassment. Just the thought of it makes me feel stressed too. He is so sick! Can't stand the sight of him anymore! How I wish that he'll never appear in front of me again.
