Dear QIAN RU,
Your usually dependable judgment may seem somewhat clouded by emotion today. Perhaps you find yourself unable to decide between different courses of action, or perhaps you're feeling a bit distracted and can't focus on what needs to be done. ((thIs iS sO tRuE!)) Don't be afraid to put things off for a few days and work on something less taxing, QIAN RU.( Yeah. I shAll bLOg! ) Things will seem clearer tomorrow, which is soon enough. Spend your day relaxing; forget about work for a while. ( Sure. WheN i hAven EvEn touChed my woRk fOR decAdeS.)

Dear QIAN RU,
Don't blame everything on others today, QIAN RU. It is important for you to be adult enough to take responsibility for your own actions. Understand that things aren't always going to happen the way you want. Realize that sometimes you just have to take the good with the bad. There is a somber mood today that might overwhelm your normal attitude. Try as best you can to stay focused and disciplined.
