2015-01-21 World Travel

2015-01-21

Finally I realized a truth that on the way to the wonderland, people can only accompany you for a short path, you still have to go through it alone. People come and go and change their direction because they start to have different ideas about 'wonderland'. No one is to be blamed for dropping out because it is just different expectation for life.

Yes, I am moving on though the memories are so wonderful.

I attended to a World Travel sharing speech on 16th Jan. 2015. (Thanks to the popular travel industry, many travel agent have this kind of free speech to share travel experiences with the public)

The speaker is Fiona. She has been a traveler for long and has 4 times world travel experiences. The first time she went on world travel was with her sister. They followed the famous book "Around the World in Eighty Days" as written by Jules Verne. For their first stop, it was 'Reform Club' in London as the booked indicated. However, the receptionist didn't allow Fiona and her sister to enter into the club as they are not members. The sisters were not pleasant about the way they were treated. Even though, they still insisted to start from the gate of 'Reform Club' for their journey.  After 80 days of their amazing trip, they returned to the 'Reform Club'. The receptionist was so surprised at their return and could hardly believe that they finished the route according to "Around the World in Eighty Days". To reward the brave sisters, the receptionist made an exception that he showed the girls the 'Reform Club' and took photos for them inside the club.

What Fiona inspired me is that 'where is a will, there is a way', you may not be accepted in the beginning but your persistence will prove your desire and your ability. Ultimately, whether you are accepted or not, your competence have leveled up and the original rejection doesn't bother you anymore as it is no longer in your area of concern.

Oh, and Fiona only spent  GBP6000 on this world travel. That's not much, ah?!

I know one day I will become an experienced world traveler and arrange travel tours professionally for tourists. My vision gets wider and my mind gets stronger toward the way to my wonderland.

2014-01-29 大掃除

2014-01-29

從英國回來後我就開始我的臥房大掃除。前幾天清出來好多舊衣服，其實當中有些根本沒穿過、有些沒穿過幾次還很新，但是衣服的樣式已經不是現在的我會喜歡的樣子了、又或者已經太小穿不下，這些衣服全部被我塞進回收用的大箱子，這才發現我的消費行為有多麼的不理智。

很認真的整理、思考以後，真心的覺得我並不需要這麼多的衣服，這些身外之物簡單、夠用就好，多餘的消費行為只會讓我迷失在這個對事物總是過於吹捧的社會。今後對於購物行為，都要一而再、再而三的檢視自己的慾望與需求，務必達到精確踏實。


整理完衣物之後，我開始著手整理文件類雜物。先是丟了許多求學時代的講義、閱讀資料，然後是過去同學、朋友的書信、卡片。他人寫給我的文字是我在整理時，覺得最難取捨的部分。過去曾經深交的朋友，寫給我的都是他們很坦白的內心話，而那些句子其實也某部分反應了當時的我是如何的與他們互動，這讓我想起在不同階段的我：原來我在某個時候，是這樣的人。

當一一閱讀這些信件時，我一方面覺得很驚喜，因為我找到了以前的我：好單純、好可愛、很容易滿足。可是另一方面覺得很難過，因為那些時光再也不在，而我也必須長大，這或許是有意識、或許是無意識，我都漸漸的成為了另一個人，再也不是、也不能是小時候的那個我了。

此外，儘管我與曾經互動過的人有過那麼多的回憶，但是卻都沒有機會好好的說再見，很多人就這樣漸漸淡出我的生活。雖然對於這樣的自然消逝，再見也不是那麼必要了，但我還是感到哀傷，因為沒有那些人，就不會有某個時刻因與他們互動而成為的我，他們都是我小時候、青春時刻的證明。


最後一部分是我的日記。小學的時候媽媽要求我寫日記，那時候的我真的很討厭寫日記，還曾經寫下討厭媽媽之類的話。現在看到這些記錄，我真的很難過也很討厭當時的自己，怎麼可以寫下這種話傷害媽媽。我真的超愛我的媽媽，我的媽媽是全世界最好的媽媽！非常非常感謝媽媽當時的用心，所以現在我才能因為那些自己在小時候記錄的文字，而回想起很多當時的事情，以及小時候自己解釋世界的角度。謝謝媽媽！而今後我也要勤奮記錄我的生活，當有一天回過頭時，也會發現自己的成長和已經遺忘的過去時光。

2013-12-11 A Bloody Lesson

2013-12-11

Today I hate myself deeply cause I lost a good job chance. I planned to apply for a graduate HR scheme which is provided by the NHS. This is a very good opportunity as the NHS states clear that it will help the successful candidates to deal with the VISA issue, which means that the accepted applicants will have Tier2 VISA to work in UK.

I applied for the NHS scheme one week ago and the following step of the recruitment is to finish an intellectual test online. I remembered the deadline for the accomplish of the intellectual test is on 11 December 2013. However, I didn't notice that the deadline is at 11:30 am!! While I opened the page and tried to run the test at 12:00 pm on 11 December 2013, I was unable to get access to the test. I am really sad and I hate myself now!!

I am now wholly disappointed with myself and I am determined to prepare well so I won't loss any chances in the future!!
