creative life and normal life

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work, Driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, In order to get to a job that you need so you can pay for the clothes, cheap jerseys, car and the house that you leave empty all day in order to afford to live in it.

A creative life is an amplified life. It’s a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life and a hell of a lot more interesting life.


-        Elizabeth Gilbert   -

Back to 1990s, I worked in a state-run company in Shanghai,China.

In everybody’s eyes, it was a stable, secure job as once I got the job, the company couldn’t sack me.

It was free for the hospital, and I didn’t have to worry about my future and pension for retirement.

However, I was surrounded by gossip every day.

People talked about the same topic all day long, all year long.

They cared about someone else’s personal life more than anything else.

" Have you found a boyfriend?" “When are you gonna marry? Why you don’t have a kid after marry? “, “Why you study so hard, you wanna leave the company?”

"How about your husband, cheap snapback hats, your child, your mother-in-law”?

The same topic could be repeated on a regular basis, early in the morning, later in the afternoon, which freaked me out.

It was so dark, no lights ahead, for so many times I wanna resign the job, but I was not strong enough to make such a big decision.

There was nobody encouraged and supported me, not my family, not my friends, not my relatives.

I remembered one colleague told me: “You would have no future if you quit the job.”

For Aussies or younger Chinese, you might don’t have idea how hard to quite the job:as at the time, in that system, once I quit the job, I could never find another one.

It’s just like Aussies you give up Australian Citizen and go to another country, you don’t know whether people accept you or not.

No,that’s not the comfortable life, that’s no life at all.

It’s like in the jail to me.

I was in that environment for another 10 years, fake oakley sunglasses, which caused me seriously mental illness.

I was so afraid to see people, to tell them my true feeling.

One day, my inner heart called me strongly: you must leave, there’s such a wonderful world outside.

Suddenly, I’ve got inspired, yes, I had to stand up, stand up and get out of the darkness.

I told my dad and my husband, and they said: “Ok, it’s up to you.”

I was a lucky one as I got financially support from my Dad.

That’s how I started my new life.

 We can call it a creative life- a path of brave, which is full of uncertainty and fear.

I started self-taught English as I had a dream going overseas.

I’ve got no clue whether I could pass English and get a diploma.

Whether my visa could be granted for being an overseas student in my 30s?

Whether I could find a job later on, If not,wholesale jerseys, what could I do in my life?

I had so much worries and fear.

But who cares, I was doing something I love with my passion.

I could not afford time thinking too much, the only thing I could do was push myself really hard- please do not waste one minute.

My life was peaceful and quiet, nobody could tell me what I should do or not.

I was the master of my life.

Everyday I was full of energy, passionate about the things what I did.

I was so alive, fulfilled and then good luck flooded onto me.

I had met and communicated with nice and interesting friends from all over the world.

I had learnt different cultures, I had experienced life what I dreamed.

I’ve got everything I wanted, even a permanent residency in Australia and an accounting job in the office.

My first dream has been realized; I’ve got nothing to worry about.

Then I was back to normal life again, cheap mlb hats, 8 hours a day and 5 days a week work in the office.

I joined all the activities in my free time whatever I enjoyed, making friends, gym ,dancing,  swimming, running, travelling etc.

But I still couldn’t get back the feeling of fulfilment, what’s wrong with me?

No one could give me the answer, I was depressed again, was that the dream I pursued?

Why I’ve got exactly the same feeling as I was in China—being bored.

 Last year, at lunch break, I came across one article regarding your dream, which completely woke me up.

After that, I did a research of my soul about that missing part.

I found I have left reading and writing behind since I immigrated to Australia.

But I have never thought I had talent in writing though I admire those writers very much for their impressive stories.

Actually,I have never written one article in my life except the ones for examination.

But from my inner heart, cheap oakley sunglasses, I really wanna share my stories with people.

Just followed my heart, I started writing English blogs, where I’ve got lots of encouragement from some really nice online friends.

Again,I’ve got a very strong feeling that I should open up a wechat subscription No. of my own.

I was worried about nobody would like join me, nobody was really interested in what I was talking about  my way of living.

I was afraid of losing my self-confidence by nobody paying attention to what I’ve written, how embarrassing!!!

I worried so much about what other people’s thinking towards my writing expect ignored the real feeling of myself—I enjoyed reading and writing so much, I must start it ,must do it.

That’s how I started Englishpassion.

I am now living between a normal life and a creative life—doing a full time accounting job in an Aussie run company while pursuing my dream-writing.

I have never been feeling so good for having a creative life again after work.

It’s a new me now, active and energetic, I am alive again.

Everyone,you can also pursue a creative life both part time or full time, cheap nfl jerseys, but it needs courage to stand up and doing what you truly love which makes your heart singing.

That's I loved what Elizabeth Gilbert said: If you can’t learn to travel comfortably alongside your fear,then you’ll never be able to go anywhere interesting or do anything interesting.

A dream of the boy who I love

The sun is shining brightly and birds sing and flowers give forth their fragrance. Everything seems to be very beautiful. Then I came across the boy who I have loved for five years. He had a sunshine smile and then he came to me. I was so happy and he invited me to sit on the backseat of his bicycle. I looked the sight of his back and couldn't help to hug him in his waist and put my face on his back.
He rid through a wheat field,cheap oakley sunglasses, I could see the wheat sways in the wind. Then I looked up to the sky and saw the clouds floating. I reached for the wind and smiled like a child. He turned around and saw me in a spoiling eyes.
At that time you let me die that is possible. But life always change. A girl showed up and took him. He left me without hesitation. I knew that the girl is his girlfriend, and I had no choice but to watch them to go father and father away.
When I waked up that morning, I felt joyful and sorrowful at the same time. I couldn't return to God for a long time. In a moment, I even wanted that how good if I can be in the dream forever. That was the first time I dreamed of him, even the end was not very good.
He is a kind person, and he should have a good girlfriend,cheap jerseys, I know that and I always know that. Maybe I still love him now, for I always try to find a boy who has a sunny smile and likes talking, of course, sometimes play tricks on me. And if I get angry, he will try his best to make me feel happy. But I will never come across a boy who likes him.

Self Disturbing

As one kind of 'emotional' animal, humans are complicated to be understood, they used to 'disturb' themselves from time to time with some 'unnecessary' conflict. There are so many examples to give. A man may cover the truth that he loves a woman if his love is beyond expression, even if he could lose her without telling her about his adoration. wholesale nfl jerseys, A woman may adopt several orphans she had never met before, and treat them just like her own children; she should betray the thought of getting married and giving birth to her own child, in case these orphans can't get cared with by her with all her concern. A stranger could save you from death or being a helpful hand driven by nothing more than sympathy, and he certainly known he could get hurt or more severe being killed under specific situation.
Was I an alien who was about to invade the earth and turn it into one colony, I would never try from heaven to earth to figure out what is going on in those inferior worms' mind, there is no need to doubt about the reality that there seems to be no meaning lies in their behavior "disturbing" themselves. For exterior world of human's, the effort is totally useless and in vain. To some extinct, it is a contrast to the so called survival of the fittest.However, it is the universal love human hold for each other,cheap nfl hats, that creates an atmosphere of warmth to let us fit in as a harbour; it is the preference to save others to avoid unnecessary guilty, that makes this world a piece of homeland in this endless universe; it is our natural reaction out of sympathy, that prolongs the lifetime and history of human. I am proud of being one individual of this specie, and distinct from many other species; being flowers of thought on the earth.

80’s Generation

Every generation has their own pressure. For our current 80’s generation , we are faced with the job competitive market and the responsibility to make a living for both young kids and elder parents. The society is change day by day, thus,cheap nfl jerseys,  we have to adjust and improve ourselves accordingly, in order to keep pace with the society. Surely ,nobody was born under the golden spoon. Sometimes ,even a small achievements we have obtained make us contented. I always trust that to simplify our life can be assure of happiness.

In some extent , we have to make a lot of sacrifice to achieve our goal. Most of us have the strong sense that, it is not so easy to work far away from our hometown. We have to choose big cities for better career development, cheap snapbacks, for better opportunity to make achievements. We have to admit the fact that the chance of success by our working in small town is slim. Take me for example, the salary is too low to survive in our hometown. Meanwhile, some of my old classmates would like to choose to work and live at hometown. They can find a decent job, that is great. It is a pity that I leave behind my childhood friends and some treasure things. I would like to stay together and have fun with them if we are available.

Every coin has two sides. We cannot eat the cake and have it. I lost the valuable hours to witness the growth of my baby. We sacrifice our youthful years to work in big city. cheap replica oakleys, It turn out to be quite nice if you work hard and get what you want from life. We have to be brave enough to conquer all the difficulties in our life. After all, life is beautiful , right ?

The effects of copping

As far as I am concerned, as college students we are supposed to refuse to download papers from the Internet.
With the booming of the technology, Internet has become a vital tool in our daily life. As a consequence,cheap oakley sunglasses, when it comes to academic assignments the students usually turn to the Internet for help. Nevertheless, students use the Internet to copy from others instead of making the fullest use of it to search information. It's undeniable that this kind of academic dishonesty is harmful to the students' study. For one thing, download papers from the Internet will make the students form a habit of laziness, which may result in the loss of creativity to their further study. For another thing, this kind of behavior is bad for students to nurture healthy personality. From another perspective, it will do harm to the original authors' benefit,cheap nfl jerseys, which is unfair.
Thus, from the point of my view, download papers from the Internet are shameful and everyone should do assignments by themselves.

Are you more forgetful than a fish?

There is a saying "He has the brain of a goldfish. " to describe a person who is forgetful. Many people think that fish is simple and has poor memories. But in fact, they are more complex than we think. According to recent studies,wholesale jerseys,  goldfish has developed similar vision like human-being. Some illusions which can cheat your eyes also work on fish. A particular report also found that the length of attention span of fish is longer than of human!
As a result of the use of internet and devices, our attention span is down from 12 seconds in 2000 to 8 seconds today. But goldfish has 9 seconds attention span.When it comes to forgetfulness, a study showed that goldfish can distinguish shapes, colors as well as sounds and can remember things for at least 3 mouths. On the top of it, it can recognize its owner.
So it is wrong that goldfish only can remember things for 7seconds. After reading this,cheap mlb hats, what are you thinking?
Anyway, what distinguishes human and animal is the ability of learning. If you were sill addicted to internet and phone, you can't match a piece of fish. XP

Relationship

   Recently, there is too much argument between PM and MT department regarding a new project. As one member of MT, I also have so many complaints to PM's member, cheap jerseys,  because they assign us some tasks out of scope of work which we should take. On the contrary, PM concerns that we are missing or no voice on the global meeting. There is total different view from separate position, but, the key point is who will take more responsibility to communicate with global about the detailed rule, requirements and timing. On this case, cheap snapback hats,the most challenge is we need to align with other two plants from different countries at the same time, what's more, they require almost same the process, fixture design from a high level of intercompany. That mean everything need do comparison to find out the differences then to do analysis to merge this deviation. It is a huge work load to everyone who involves the multinational project.
      Once you involved this project, you will continue to attend all kinds of global meeting, as to spoken English,fake oakley sunglasses, there is also another challenge to someone including myself. At this side, the PM holds on absolute advantage and MT takes relative disadvantage. So, how to balance this situation will be a big deal to mangers of MT and PM.
