Merry Xmas!

It's the festive season! It's when people express their concerns for one another, it's when warmth is in the air!

Even though I'm lazily at home, I'm enjoying myself and looking forward to the new year! Time flew this year. From the fun internship in Beijing, to all the hard work over the past months, to the learning and interactions I'm so privileged to get, to the recent Ideas Inc competition.

Overall, I would say a pack of colorful and dull events. A great 21st year :D

ps. I feel like getting Wii but am a bit reluctant to spend money.

Inspirations

"Stay hungry, stay foolish." These are the exact words of an inspiring person.

Over the past few months, I've met many inspiring persons and it has been really an enriching and empowering journey. I've learnt a lot, changed some of my beliefs, and changed the way I do things. And, it has been rewarding.

Inspiration 1
People get along in life without really thinking of what they want in life. We fail to pause for a moment and think about it."To get by"... doesn't really mean a thing, does it?

Inspiration 2
On another note, people matter. I've learnt to consciously be aware of this and to practise people skills. Much of what I do needs that.

Inspiration 3
You are influenced by people around you. Surround yourself with people who are like you, who can help you, who are much more experienced, and you get a whole new perspective, a different framing. It brings you to a new level.

Inspiration 4
You want something to happen, make it happen. Lose all your fears and just do it.

No doubt it is really tiring, but the motivation so strong, the concept so intriguing that you push ahead. Nothing else seems to matter. More time to study for exams vs 5 days new business building workshop? I chose the workshop. Many decisions have to be made. Many sacrifices have to be made. The question is, how far are you willing to go? How strong are your beliefs?

It wasn't easy. It will not be. But I will do it. Convincing people is both an art and a science.
