  • Keep Your Eyes on Where Your Ball Should Go

    May 16, 2018

    Keep your eyes on where your ball should go. A classic metaphor teaching us to focus on the intended destination. But if the destination is too far away, it may only leave us pain and frustration. When the journey is very long, longer than you know how. You might lose patience, you might lose faith.…

  • We Can (not always) Have It All

    May 15, 2018

    Thoreau, Gandhi, Mandela — it’s easy to see why their words and ideas have been massaged into gauzy slogans. They were inspirational figures, dreamers of beautiful dreams. But what goes missing in the slogans is that they were also sober, steely men. Each of them knew that thoroughgoing change, whether personal or social, involves humility…

  • How I Redirect My Attention from Negative to Positive

    May 14, 2018

    It is very hard to stay in a positive routine everyday while you encounter disappointment also on a daily basis. Life, sometimes like a bitch, just wants to drag you down for no benefit for herself. And, of course, while writing here, I got distracted by something else that I always wanted to search online.…

  • The Best Time is (if) Now

    May 10, 2018

    My interview yesterday was, without any exaggeration, a disaster. I’m not usually bad at interviews. In fact, I always give better impression and build connection with the people in a face-to-face situation. Being invited to an interview is already a step forward towards getting the job. I know. I was grateful for the opportunity. Yet,…

  • Removing the Object That Makes You Sad

    May 4, 2018

    There are good days. There are bad days. Today is one of those days which cannot be simply describe as “good” or “bad”. Woke up late. But cleaned up my apartment and went swimming. Talked to my family in the afternoon. My mood was lightened up as soon as I made them laugh. I’ve never…

  • What is Stopping me from Being Who I Want to Be?

    May 2, 2018

    I have been asking myself a question quite often lately: aren’t you tired of “starting new”? Don’t you want to give up “giving up” a plan? I realize, nobody else in my social circle seems to being stuck in stillness, but me. “Feeling trapped”. This is exactly what I’m feeling. And this is exactly what…

  • Try to Use Lightroom for Bad Quality Photos

    April 25, 2018

      The result is not bad at all. Right?

  • End of Earth–a trip of spirituality to Finisterre, Spain

    January 3, 2018

    July, the most beautiful month of the year. At least for me. After finishing the last exam in my studies, I took the plane and went back to the magical city of Santiago de Compostela. I’ve always loved the city. Walking on the streets paved with stones, surrounded by buildings that date back to hundreds…

  • 我在德国体验议会选举

    October 3, 2017

    德国议会选举这一天是2017年的九月二十四号。我所在的德国西南部小城这一早天气晴朗,正是秋高气爽的好时候。一帮德国朋友拉着我早早出门去投票站。将近一个月与别人讨论和自己的思想斗争终于要迎来一个结果。大家都兴奋不已。 今年德国大选得到的关注度甚至比往年更要高。继英国脱欧公投,法国大选之后,德国此次议会选举被称为“欧洲面临右翼民粹主义最新的一次考验”以及“欧盟抵抗右翼民粹的最后一道阻力”。想当初法国大选马克隆对阵勒彭,无数德国人的心悬在嗓子口。然而法国选民最终没有全部倒向右翼民族主义的国民阵线让我周围的德国人都松了口气。回看相比周边国家更加稳定的德国政坛,对于老牌多数政党联合党和社会民主党来说,今年的大选形式却不被看好。

  • Smothered by Smog, Day by Day

    January 30, 2017

    Since 2011, every winter, major Chinese cities appear on global media always with the word “smog”, attached with a picture of a seemingly ghost town in those typical horror films. Just a few weeks ago, when I was at Beijing International Airport waiting for transfer, I was hoping to see the world-(in)famous scene of air…
