The cold 45 minutes bike ride in the rain after judo tonight was only good for one song.
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin’ when I hold you
Don’t you know I feel the same
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it’s hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
—Guns N Roses
We try to know everything so much that we spread ourselves so thin we end up knowing nothing about everything. Then when we try to know alot about small things, we get so focused that we know too much about nothing.

聽別人說話也是一種交流，交流最需要的是真誠。當我和別人交談的時候，我用耳朵、也用目光傾聽。都說眼睛是心靈的窗子，我的「窗子」永遠明亮燦爛。真誠的目光勝似千言萬語．．．

Translation:
Listening to others is also an exchange, exchange takes sincerity. When I am speaking with others, I listen with my ears, I also listen with my eyes. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, my windows are always sparkling. A sincere look is worth a thousand words…

I have heard and seen many great things about Dubai – though I have never been there myself: The Tennis court on the roof where each play requires (most probably) a new ball; hotels that would not admit you if you care enough to ask about the price; all the world records set by its rapid development… I have not given it much thought how Dubai came to where it is right now. “Oil” – the answer to many questions – is obviously over-simplified; so simple that an outsider like me can hardly care less to find out more.
Here is one article that I could not help but share.
The Dark Side of Dubai by Johann Hari.
Why Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world… but for Wales?

“Make a plan that’s doable step-by-step from where you are but still gets you paid. That’s what brought me from MBA to China and now looking for work. It’ll work.

“Design, in persuading people to buy things they don’t need, with money they don’t have, in order to impress others who don’t care, is probably the phoniest field in existence today.”

“Every man’s reach should exceed his grasp.”

“The phrase The heartbreak of psoriasis is often used both seriously and ironically to describe the emotional impact of the disease… The term can be found in various advertisements for topical and other treatments; conversely, it has been used to mock the tendency of advertisers to exaggerate (or even fabricate) aspects of a malady for financial gain.”
—Wikipedia, on Psoriasis.
