| whoaa.. time flies, we are already more than half way done w/ the semester
life is so awesome despite all the midterms, problem sets, and projects
this semester has been a lot of fun and i totally cherish the people i have met in these 4 yrs
in just a month and half, i will be able to re-visit the old home town
and i can't even describe how excited i am
in the midst of all expectations, hype, excitements
i should take a moment to settle my thoughts and let myself to immerse into the presence
enjoy the wonderful life and taste every single bit of it
it's almost like have never felt so 幸福 and content with life
such sense of self fulfillment is greater than any materialistic satisfaction and gain from a love relationship (though i might be bias right now)
if we project this into our future
we will experience constant challenge, fulfillment, disappointment and happiness
but if we are able to take a step back and enjoy what you have achieved
life is really wonderful
ahhh! i can't wait to change the world some days!! | | |
| oh man
money -- MOOLA has so much influence over our lives
it can change our career, significant other, expected future,
sometimes you hear about how materialistic rich of a life someone lives by having certain careers
though the usually you may not envy those stories as much
but you may still be inevitably be bought into the effect of money
how else can you get a 500 bucks of dinner or buy a chanel bag based on the mood of your day
how else can you go vacationing and stay at luxurious hotels w/o having to save every penny you can in your everyday life
how else can you....
all the success, drive, polish outside, wealth, materialistic wants,
don't you wonder how you are underachieving for a sec or two?
but outside of all those, were you pursuing happiness at the same time?
can we measure happiness simply through the amount of money spent considering if we have family love and all that?
are the lives that we live in so shallow?
oh and then some people claim that as long as you do something you like, career wise, you will be happy
how to judge if the work you do is really satisfying and impactful?
after a few years of work, you may start to question what are you doing with your life
ultimately, how do you value if you are living a good and meaningful life?

| I'm really glad to have the friends that I have now
Sometimes, when thinking back 4 yrs of college, I encountered so many different types of people and certainly, I learned from them and also learned to value friendship differently
Sometimes, people are just very self-centered and think that the world evolves around them, but you know what, respect others in order to gain respect for yourself
We have grown to see all sides of people, and we just kind of learn to take it and move on
Just learn to see how people really are
For those who don't hold the same values as we do, there's no need that I have to agree with you
But sometimes you really wonder, they definitely succeeded in mending a relationship with you for a while and it's such a shame
But you know what, different people go different ways
Let's just move on..
it's life, we will see many of these in the future | | |
| Gahh
8 am classes are so deadly..
I hate it when my schedule can never be set b/c the waitlist will never ever be taken care of
There's no reason a senior should be on the waitlist for 5 weeks and still waiting to be enrolled
shoot me now
time to get a drink to relieve all that anger.. jk | | |
| just watched a Frontline documentary on global warming
in the film, they were discussing sources of energy, from fossil fuel to coal to gas to renewable energy
i think the foremost important issue is that as a consumer, we need to be responsible to the environment
we are the fundamental power that changes the market, changes a business decision making, changes global warming
as shown in the film, the US big 3 auto companies had a deal w/ the Clinton administration to develop hybrid cars with 10 billion help
instead, the campaign slowly died down and the focus is shifted to huge SUV trucks instead cuz they are the most profit maximizing product.. but ironically, toyota and honda freaked out at the advantage given at that time to the big 3, and invested tons into hybrid R&D.. now as the result, the big 3 is slaughtered by the market, and had no choice but to play catch up
many of those companies claimed to be socially responsible.. yeah.. my ass
many of the changes and ideas are not implemented until the consumers ultimately demand it
after all, they are still doing what they need to profit maximize and show the highest revenue and growth so they can be responsible for the stakeholders
at the same time, i really think the areas with renewable energy can be really profitable
and there are still a lot of rooms for development in technology and ideas
i have always been a big fan on the environment, but after the film i realize maybe i can invest my career in green tech development or renewable energy
it would be an interesting path, or even start a company? lol
