  • What's the Best?

    Apparently, we cannot have everything on earth..... I wish we could, but we could not......

    People tend to relate having the best is having everything. I constantly seeking for the best option, such as with timing, with places, with people, with stuff. Before moving back to Hong Kong, I thought HK is the best; after being here for over a year, I miss the lifestyle in Boston. Too bad I cannot be in both places at the same time...

    Does that mean "the best" does not exist anymore? Just recall a little economics... an opportunity cost is the highest option value forgone. When you line up all your options, the best is the one with the least value forgone. So that means when we are looking for the best next time, we are not looking for ALL we can have, we are looking for the least sacrifice we need to make.

    I spent 29 years looking for having it ALL, I wonder will this mindset will change the rest of my life......

  • Relationships

    A Hong Kong police officer was critically injured and later died from falling off from the bridge. He was on his way to convince a man who was protesting on the bridge to retreat to a safe place. This man now has more attention from the news more than he wish.

    Mr. Officer was supposed to enjoy his retirement in a few years. You can imagine how his family would take when wonderful time was cut short with Mr. Officer. I have been living in a jungle of relationship problems lately. Between girlfriend and boyfriend, parents and son/daughter, step-children and spouse, sisters, brothers, friends, husband and wife, etc. Do we need to wait until someone dies to realize what matters and what not? Treasure while we have, treat each other fairly with love and appreciation everyday; I know it's easier said than done, for me too.

  • It's my life......

    Sorry to be scarce, especially to my friends and family in the States. Life in Hong Kong has been so awesome. I cannot express how it feels to be able have goals, and acheive them as planned. Not meant to preach. You and I are probably going to live till we are 80. Whatever we choose today will be our tomorrows.  I am learning to be patient, work hard today and the better tomorrow will come. 

    My Daily Routine:

    7:30 Wake up

    7:30-8:15 Shower, 5 mins playing with my dogs, makeup, feed the dogs, cleanup, pack up for work.

    8:15-9:30 Travel to work, get a raisin bun and water on the way. Talk to John.

    9:30-12:00 Work Work Work, meetings, reading/replying emails, documents, followup with tasks, talk to vendors, etc

    12:00-13:30 Lunch time or if clients are here, have to eat with them and do some work

    13:30-18:00 More work. Leave at 18:00 if I am lucky. The latest I left so far was 21:30 to catch the train.

    18:00-19:30 Travel back home. Pick up grocery on the way. Talk to John.

    19:30-20:00 Feed the dogs first, clean up after them. Then I cook my dinner.

    20:00-21:00 Eat dinner, housework..

    21:00-21:30 Walk the dogs.

    21:30-22:00 Wipe the dogs legs and faces, put them to bed(they are usually very good to just stay in bed and let me do what I want after)

    22:00-24:00 Watch TV, catch up with news, emails, etc.

    24:00 Good night call to John then zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

     

    A very unhelenly-ordered life

    Something to share from a note passed out in a conference:

    People with high IQ know where to get the chances;

    People with high EQ make good use of those chances;

    People with high AQ do not give up chances easily.

    IQ, EQ, AQ are not simply given, we need to develop them into our own assets.

     

    If you think everyone is a devil, you live in hell; if you think everyone is angel, you live in heaven. Sometimes it is our perspective determines the kind of world we live in.
