昨天下午高中的老同学晓惠从广外来深圳报名参加日语的一级考试,我在深大接应她,带她游了一圈深大,还在面包店吃了东西.老同学相见真是格外亲切,大家聊了好多东西,关于志向啊,专业啊,以前高中的生活啊,等等,似乎聊也聊不完!我们都好怀念高中的生活啊,呵呵!

下午三点半送她走了以后,我拖着疲惫的身躯回到了宿舍.因为我平时习惯了睡午觉,而昨天中午却没有睡,所以好悃, 一回到宿舍就上了床听了几首歌就睡着了,一睡睡到六点钟.当我醒来时发现自己居然滚下了床还抱着被子睡了! 我居然都还不知道!我着实吓了一跳! 看来我真的累透了!天都黑了好多,整个宿舍黑乎乎的,别的舍友都不知跑哪去了. 匆匆忙忙开了灯, 也不顾蓬乱的头发,就下去下面打水冲凉, 呵呵.

真是难忘的一天!

It seems that I have not written my personal diary in English. Though I get used to writing English essays regularly, they are not diaries but simply topic-oriented compositions. Needless to say, composing such articles does greatly enhance my writing skills as well as my logical, critical and comprehensive thinking. However, it is not as of great fun as writing my own diaries.

Last night one of my friends who is studying in Beijing gave me a call and we chatted for quite a while. His major is arts, hence he needs to compose pictures one after another every day. As he loves drawing wholeheartedly, he never feels the slightest torture for his work. He regards his study as a kind of pleasure that spices his life tremendously. On this point, I really greatly admire him. It is no easy thing for someone to love what he is undertaking presently.

More often than not, we are suffering from what we are doing. We hate its guts, but we have no choices else. We have to commit ourselves to our present work that seems somehow an obligation. Definitely, we can totally abandon all we are doing now if we really want to go to extremes. But what will happen after that momentary freedom? Following is your concern of how to earn bread and milk to live on, I am afraid! Then you also need to seek another job you show no affection to and continue your own torment! Then you cannot bear it again and give it up, then find another job...... it is a circle that is spinning and never ending! We may be wondering all the time who can save us from this painful circle?

But to our great surprise, the answer is not any other person, but exactly yourself! Why? Here I would like to share with you one of my experiences in senior middle school to illustrate my point, then you will understand better!

In my second year in senior middle school, I chose politics as my major, which meant I was obliged to take the politics exam in the college entrance examination. However, before I chose politics I was meant to choose chemistry, because at that time my chemistry is more than so-so and I did believe through hard work I could perform well on it! But knowing my choice one of my teachers suggested my choosing politics because, according to her statement, it was a piece of cake to get a high score. At that time when every option was score-oriented, I did not consider too much and plunged into politics determinedly. Then my nightmare was gradually unveiled.

At the beginning, I showed strong interest in politics that was relevant to economy. It showed us the functions of the market and the effective intervention of the government to guide the trend of the economy. I was totally dedicated to the radical law of economy, the Law of Value, which indicates the price of a given product is fluctuating within a limited band round the central price that exactly mirrors its use value! This precious law is still dominating the academia of economy! However, after I touched philosophy, my passion towards politics declined speedily. I do not deny the great rightness of philosophy that can teach us a great deal of codes to perfect our life. It tells us how to behave aptly, think shrewdly, and act effectively. However, that is merely an outlook of life that is embodied in the spiritual aspect. What I was really yearning for was some practical skills or knowledge that I could practice into my job, such as chemistry, physics, biology, etc. I was not inclined to boast about various viewpoints towards life with my politics teacher all the time! It was just like draining away my time and killing me! Therefore, I shifted my focus from politics to my beloved English and Chinese, especially English. All the way I spared little time on politics, but a lot on English. Maybe that was a great attribution to my failure in my final politics exam and separated me from my ideal university. But up to now, I never regret for having not spent more time on my politics. Instead, I feel more than grateful for what I have done, even I feel greatly proud of my capability of exploring my own interest in those dull days, which somehow seems a little boastful.

Why do I refer to this experience? I just aim to tell you that when you do not want to do something you are engaged in, you still must do it while meantime, you can find your own interest besides your work! In your pastime you can absolutely bathe in what you love. You can learn what you are fond of to further qualify yourself and then reach your ideal occupation, setting yourself free from what you are hating now! Temporary surrender does not mean failure and cowardice. Instead, it is a great philosophy that can lead you to your final target ultimately!

So now, when I am dealing with some work that I hate but still have to do, I will say to myself, "Temporary endurance is meant for the final glory. Flavor your life with your amateur interest!"

A happy life is so simple!
