“Taking risks and failing is one of the most critical aspects of innovation.” --Judy Estrin

To fail is a must for success. This is the information I got. I fear failure, deeply. And I worked hard to shun away from failures. Now I begin to know another way to deal with failure: To fail in order to succeed. Failures benefit if I can learn from them.
But to analyze failures and take them candidly requires heart, the right emotion and attitude. To make failures work for me, I should never lost sight on my final goal: To succeed.

Happy Birthday to My Girl

Today is my g's birthday. "Welcome to 23." (I am a little older than her.)
She is very adorable and extremely lovely. For two years, she has been with me. And I thank her for that, being an ideal partner. Though it is not a long time. In fact, I feel it is just a flash of a minute. But my memory is fully loaded with sweet moments with her.
The first ever kiss with a girl in my life. The first ever lasting feeling that love is there for me. The first ever realization that I have complete faith in another human being without any restriction. But there is also "down" moment, fortunately or unfortunately. Fighting because of misunderstanding is a heartfelt frustration. And our main problem is that why there should be so little time we can enjoy each other's company. As a matter of fact, we have spent a lot of time together. We meet each other every other evening and almost all the weekends. But the desire to have her at my side seems insatiable. We talk. We laugh. We tease. We hug. We do a whole lot of things together. Oh, we love a particular park where the scene is natural with water, flowers, trees, birds and bamboos. We usually go there, reading books or just talking leisurely. The place is quiet though many people are there. Maybe it's because the park is so large.
It seems that loving memory is everywhere. I am the happiest man in the world.
I hope she is the happiest woman ever. But I am not 100 percent sure. What I am sure is that I will help her realize her dream and make myself the man I want to be. I am still a young guy with a lot of potential. I have a lot to prove.
I love, but I haven't proved enough. I only need time.
I believe, like Mr. Farber, that love needs proof. I will provide the proof.

I am waiting for her now. She will be with me soon. We will celebrate her big day.
All for now.

JOB Miss

I talked with my good friends last night, who were my high-school classmates and are now working after graduation. Two of them expressed their intension to change their jobs. The main reason: Bored. They are complaining the simplicity and repetitiveness of their work and feel that their future would be endangered if they stay in the position.
One, a technician for power plant building, has been abroad in India for 1/2 year. He organizes the workers, supervises the processes, and provides professional suggestions. But, he is frustrated by the 'easyness' of the technical problems. He was really excited when he got the chance to go to India. But it finally proves really dull. The place is not so modern. And the workers he has to deal with are not well-schooled though very co-operative.
The other, also a technician, thinks it will ruin his future if he only deals with machine. He wants to be a manager, dealing with people. In my opinion, he would make a good manager because he carries a manner of mildness and courage and has the enterprising spirit. But the fact is he doesn't have the time to horn his managerial skills. In that position, he is placed among machines.
The ideal counters with the real.
They tell me I have to find out my true interest and persist in that direction, or I will walk a much longer way to get what I really want. I will examine my strength and adversaries and build on my strong areas.
They will find another job in one year. Hope they find a dream one.
Any way, I will find mine.

News Channel

The New York Times is my favorate news provider. I like their style, tense and complete, original and formal, demonstrating their professional feature.
When reading their reports, you see the whole picture and the author's opinion as well. Really helpful for your own judgement of the scenes out there. Their story really connects with the readers.
The fame of New York Times is based on solid results and action. In history, they went through difficult times with persistence, hardwork and vision, and finaly won the due recognition.
This morning, I spent three hours reading their news stories. Science, politics, book reviews, bloggs. I really love their in-depth reports and their practical opinions.
What's wrong with most news channels? The lack of underlying seriousness and professionalism, at least partly.

Field Switch

I will go to win in a much bigger arena now as the big day approaches.

I will use the next year to its full and find my dream job.

I will explore my potential and know myself better.

I will be "my real self."
