The yoga instructor shared…for the past 50+ years, the #1 new year revolution for American has been ‘losing weight’. Prior to that, it was ‘to be a better person’…What the world will be with that? I know what my 2020 new year revolution will be~

Count to 5
The yoga instructor taught us to breathe…inhale through nose, count to 5, exhale through mouth, count to 5…to calm ourselves down. It’s a good practice to breathe and give us space, especially under tension. It’s similar to a 5 word wisdom mom told me: ‘放,離,疏,轉,正’ which translates to ‘let go, leave, release, adjust, stabilize or …
Buffer and Bonus
After 3 days of snow, I got out and saw more snow on my car than expected. Not only snow, the bottom became ice, heavier and denser to move, soon my scraper broke. If this is not enough, I looked around, a snow ‘wall’ built around my car by the plowing truck, nobody was around …
Relax
Happy December! My goal this month is to ‘relax’…(really?) I had a doctor visit and blood test, fortunately, nothing serious though my hormone is low. The potential cause may be stress, nutrition, and exercise. The few months have been very busy at work (long hours, lots of changes, and full of ‘(at)tension’) so what happened …
Opportunity
Dad bought 麵線 (prounce ‘men shen’, salted thin noodle soup) and commented the popularity of the food cart and he no longer saw the founder, a young man graduated from a culinary school who perhaps is focusing on the expansion of the business (hiring others to run more carts)? I opened the cover, bright brown …
Blessing
I walked to the park with mom in the early morning and saw a group of people dance (exercise) with the music. Later, I saw 4-5 mid-aged women walked, chatted, and laughed with each other while carrying fresh vegetables purchased near-by. Simple joy and blessing! What a great start of the day~
Standout
Mom read about Sunny Hills‘s pineapple cake and suggested us to try it out. It’s in an area of old brick buildings (home to culinary, art shops converted from old warehouse by the harbor). The staffs warmly greet us when we walk in and quickly bring a tray with a warm cup of tea and …
Motivation Cultivation
Visited our Taipei office and met several colleagues; one of them was H, a localization engineer advisor. You can see H is ‘special’ from the first word; he is highly energetic, articulated, not only experienced with our tools but also knowledgeable about the operation process; what’s more, he is familiar with popular competitive tools to …
Dream
I took Uber to airport and chatted with the driver, a young African American lady. I learned that she is originally from Uganda. She works 2 jobs while studying criminal justice. When she said her dream is to be a ‘cop’…to be honest, I’m surprised…then I quickly realized the ‘bias’…by the news scrutiny, assumptions (e.g. …
Rush
At airport, I changed a few times of the lines to drop off bags, somehow, right after I changed, the line opened up and the person before me had something to delay the progress. I’d be much better off just stay at 1st line. I reminded myself the Chinese old proverb ‘ ‘ (rush result …
