In life we get depressed and dejected. That's pretty normal because we humans experience the full spectrum of emotions that's why we are Higher Intelligence! Imagine boyfriend or girlfriend tells you it is all over, you feel you want to cry and die. That is very strong emotion detachment.
I did experience that a few years ago and I can tell you it is really something unpleasant that makes you want to hide in your room and cry for days! So if you are experience such thing now, the key is not to focus on the negatives, but focus on the positives. I'm sure you can figure that out. There are always 2 sides of a coin. One good one bad.
When it seems that life is coming at you in every direction, stop and declare firmly that you are walking in perfect peace. Take back your joy, reclaim your victory, and let the enemy know that you have been broken but you are strong enough to know that you are not defeated. Take control of that very thing. You may have been broken but you are not weak!

I care about family and friends
This little humble blog of mine was left untouched for the last 3 weeks. In just a blink of the eyes, we are now in the April. How soon. And I'm another year older. Today I feel like blogging again, because I have a lot of feelings to record down.
There is this Chinese phrase, "天下没有不散的宴席", meaning there is no unending banquet in this world. Think this is an understatement because it is so true, to the point of stupidity. Recently, I have heard of many friends and old buddies going to work overseas for a few years. To places like Taiwan, Singapore, Australia or Europe. I'll miss them. They say the chances to earn money with higher value are too good to be turned down. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity that you will regret if you miss it. At least the experience lets you see what's happening in your host country. Some fall in love with that country and migrated there in the end or they married there.
I had this wish when I was younger. But in the end, because the family needs my support, I had to forgo this thought. I did not become bitter with my parents for holding me on to that. After all I understand their feelings. In the end, I managed to get into a local university, which was very lucky considering I am a Chinese. In this country, education quotas depend on your race colours, not your academic results. I hope that will change very soon in the new government, if not, I can't see my country leaping to the next level in near future.
In the end, my effort did not go to waste as I did well. And I managed to get a good secure job and that made my parents very happy. They are the very traditional kind of parents. No out of the line adventures in life. They do give me more freedom as I grew up. Now I totally have my own freedom and I got to know many people too.
Nowadays, we keep in contact and with things like Facebook and so, connectivity is not an issue anymore. It would be a crime if you did not do so some say! I do my best to keep in contact with people and i don't think I do well somehow as I was always busy due to work.
Family and friends are very important to me because they bring more colours and hopes into my life.
