and isn't it ironic

Most people wouldn't even think twice about the happiness that floods their life with opportunities in abundance. But for me, new to this feeling of belonging, a cure for nostalgia is undecidely a great challenge in thought. Thought provoking me to delve into the intricacies on why life offers such cyclic anomalies. Learning from the past to structure a better road for the future is a simple experience I shouldn't even question once. But time and time again, I am frustrated by the thoughts stimulating these seemingly 'tipping point' decisions. It is, indeed, a battle of familiarity and concious effort against the varying dimensions of space.

我会做什么?

继续存在 (continuing to exist)

这两个月生活过很困难。大多数是因为工作压力太大影响我的私人生活方式。
最近, 有两个理由我在继续用blogger。 第一个原因是我的朋友刚开始用 blogger, 写他每天锻练安排, 提醒我好长时间没用。第二个原因我脑子理有太悬而未决思想我要篇出来同时练习中文。

在今年年初,由于我决定最优时间开始铁人三项锻炼, 我停止我的 Gold's Gym 会籍。我申请当地的YMCA会籍 , 然后 尝试Crossfit 之后,一个星期之内决定了 Crossfit 在锻炼方面比较有效 然后停止我的Y 会籍。 怎么描述Crossfit , crossfit 是一种强烈健美操课专门让你锻炼倒竭尽。在详细一点,是个非常计划的有氧举重锻炼方式。我自信心说是为了多情热心要做超级人的人。三个月之后, 我离开了Crossfit健身中心 是因为我失败了适应到工作压力和活动竭尽。

“中年危机“。 它们真的存在呢?看来,可能是我自己遭受一种严重非决定性的毛病。我是一个计划者。对我来说,很自然想到明天,明年,未来的安排。但是我现在根本不知道。 在这个六个月轮岗中, 我想到我跟生产苦干不太合适。六个月的经验足够了。所以对于我是什么意思?我浪费半年的时间与经验在一个我不会在继续工作的行业。

---------------------------------------

At the beginning of the year I quit Gold's Gym and decided it would be an optimal time to start training for a triathlon and what better place than to go to the local Y. I joined impulsively and a week later I quit and joined another gym called Crossfit. Crossfit can be described as an intense aerobic class designed to push one to the limits physically and mentally by pressuring you to do cardio weight lifting exercises against time. A very well-designed and novel idea for improving the health and athletic ability of oneself, I am content to say it is for the people passionate and fervent on becoming the world's superman. Three and half months later, I quit after giving a failing and half-hearted effort to not being able to adapt to added pressures of work and frequent exhaustion from the workouts.

Quarter-life crisis. Do they even exist? Apparently so, or maybe I'm just suffering from a severe case of indecisive future anal retentiveness that every fledging college graduate experiences. I'm a planner and by nature like to imagine and think about it all too much where I'm going to be, what I'm going to do, down to the lifestyle schedule I would like to follow. This rotation has given me a sharp and bitter taste of an industry that I don't want to involve myself in for anymore years than the 1/2 of year I've already spent in it. So what does this mean for me? That I've already atrophied away my time and experience on something I can't use anymore than a brain surgeon can use an applied art degree.

Each production meeting, I think to myself, how much more interesting would this be to me if it had an inkling of bioscience related to it or if I could tangibly feel the impact I am having on the community. Instead these two short stories are but a dream far far away that can only be reached when my eyelids droop heavily over my pupils. My thoughst of my occupation are turning and twisting in my mind like a rope clamored by two aggressive opposing tug-of-war team. Do I sincerely feel that I could be successfuly in the medical field? Do I want to give up two years to start preparing for the applications of useful nothingness attempting to apply for a medical degree that might too fall in the category of "this is not what I want to be when I grow up." Or would I be content staying in the cut-throat corporate culture of business with undertones of everybody aiming to use everybody else around them to step on them and move ahead one more step on the ladder? I don't know, and I wish did.

For now, I look forward to my next short stint. Three more painful weeks in production, and I move to the land where the state flag flies higher than the US flag, in hopes of redemption of the lost six months that I dreamt of living.

思想斗争 - 百德孝为先

刚过的星期, 过的很快,没什么时间来想将来情况太多

今天的目题是百德孝为先。课文里谈过中国的传统想发。但是没讨论西方跟东方的区别。

好像中国人认为,西方习惯把老人方在敬老人院。我不应从这种看发,反而认为西方文化培样一样的思想斗争。是否你跟你的父母关系多亲密 还有你多尊重他们。

我同意把父母送到敬老院有两种角度。一方面因为孩子事业为重,没办法计划时间来照顾老人。 所以敬老人院,有合适设备,医疗人员,活动,为他们过的生活方式享享清福。要不然,要是老人碰到医疗困难或变成沉默怪癖,你不会原谅自己。另一方面,中国传统儒教鼓吹百德孝为先。无论如何,你父母牺牲血汗挣来积蓄为了树立正确教养。于是,是孩子们的责任,在什么情况上,自己照顾老人,甚至 放弃自己的愉快与工作机会。在两种角度来看,老人不是累赘。反正,个人有个人处境,不能说那方面是对还是错, 只能了解环境。


你们觉得呢 ?

练习中文

那么长时间没有练习我的中文。。。。

怎么开始。最近因为新年的决心,我有许多的事情与活动计划了。但是,很可惜,刚开始了新的工作转数,让我没空间计划出来怎么成功做我要做的活动。

新年决心
1。 多看书(没两周看一本书)
-已经看了两本
2。保持和继续学中文(普通与广东话)
-今天是我无聊尝试
3。学完APICS和GMAT
- 还没开始,不知道我什么时候会找到时间
4。 多看新闻
5。 改变到一个比较健康的生活方式
-不能吃frenchfries
- 多运动
6。少出去完, 多构词能力
-利用大多数的时间来看书,而不是去俱乐部

我意识到,这种文件会帮我提高我的中文程度同时让我刚练习的中文。

今天的课的目题是北京人上海人眼中的中国地图。两个女士谈一谈上海跟北京人对全中国地区有什么看法。她们开始讨论因为北京是中国的首都,上海的经济有许快得国际法展, 咱们对别的洲/城市 有偏见。她们说安徽,河北, 台湾, 上东,新疆与 江苏得人民, 是小市民, 土老帽。

我想法

事实上,安徽, 最近有经济问题, 还有许多的人民移动到上海寻找工作。由于这个原因, 有可能性,上海人对这样的农民偏见。他们觉得农民会让他们的高程生活方式降低。不过,现实 这样的移动人帮助全中国的经济发展更多。多工作人员,多工作机会,多生意。

在加上,跨国企业把钱投资在这两个大城市上,很明显中国的西部的小城市没机会迅捷 发展。

从一个客观的角度来看, 大城市的人应该能了解一下 这样的人理由“出差” 找更好得计会。上海那么浅历史,说明大多分得人通过一样的途径来提高自己的生活水平。已经发达做生意的人不自我例外。

你么觉得呢?
