I Love Art!!!

I proudly present the visuals* I made for a Bible lesson:

This is a story about faith.


A man is riding a boat.


The boat falls off a waterfall.


He is able to hang on to a wooden log.


Someone throws a life saver at his direction. He lets go of the wood and goes for the life saver. This scene actually symbolizes faith: the man chooses to put his trust on God (life saver) rather than relying on his own (wood).

It has been a while since the last time I painted (with the exception of Chinese painting) and it felt good. Never did I feel as confident, as delighted, as enthusiastic. Art is my second passion, next to mathematics.

*Drawings patterned after google pics.

自己快乐就好!

挥别华人乐坛四年有余,孙燕资终于回来了!回想她的歌手之路,其实她“退进”乐坛的举动已不是第一次了。大家可能会有类似的疑问:难道她不怕再复出的时候观众已渐渐地忘了她吗?不是应该打铁趁热,专辑一发再发吗?很显然地,燕资很清楚她想要什么。她不顾别人的眼光,勇敢做自己。在休息的那段时间,做了自己喜爱的事,尝试了从未有过的经历。我觉得这样的精神是值得我们去学习的。

还在读书的时候,常想,我一定要进一家有名的公司,怎样怎样... 但原来这只是我想对别人证明自己的价值而做的梦想。毕业以后我才慢慢发现,也许我真正想要的只是一个简单普通的生活。成功的定义并不是来自于你有多大的成就,来自于别人对你的评价,而是来自于你自己:你快乐吗?

九把刀说过:“想要快乐,就多做一点可以让自己快乐的事,少做一点让自己不快乐的事。这样就会快乐了!”
说得非常好。这是我的人生,不应该由别人来主宰。从新将你的注意力放在自己身上。你到底是一个怎么样的人?什么才是最适合你的?什么才是你真正想做的事?听听你的心声吧!
