Do it in style.

The (unexpected) exposure in Chinese Modern Art has taught me a valuable lesson. Perhaps the only thing I bring back for this course.


That doing anything is up to you to decide. In these days you have the total freedom to execute your rights and thrive for your dreams. The thing is that, you have to do it in style. Do it differently. Do it simple yet with unprecedented manner. If you get the response from others of "oh it seems obvious, why I never thought of that", you are a winner.


Because obvious things, like making a habit of waking up early, are never that easy to achieve.


Personal favorite from this course.

失去

我还是无法直率地面对.......《失去》

失去陪伴走来的人,一起拥有的岁月。
失去不能重来的青春
失去单纯的年纪

真的工作了,就不快乐了吗?

...自己的正面能让身边的人更正面。我这么执着地相信着。

Some quotes

1
The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.
For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.

Welcome failure into your lives. It's how we grow. What matters is not that you failed, but that you recovered.

If you are willing to walk that extra mile, you will see your effort being paid off.
