Imagine you’re standing in front of a mirror.
Look into that mirror, see a reflection of yourself.
Think of all the things you have done right.
Think of all the things you need to improve on.
A last look at things you need to let go.
Learn what you can from yourself.
Then before you leave the mirror behind, motivate yourself.
I can do it! Thank you, I’m sorry, Please forgive me, I love you.
And you’ll soon realise that you are a better person than before.
As the tree turns yellow to red, it signifies the arrival of autumn, and winter is coming up next.
The bright yellow of fresh flower against the glorious red of withering flower is beautiful, yet rare enough to be appreciated by passers-by where one can only see it once a year.
The most interesting part of life is where you have to work with people. While it’s quite true that some people may find it hard to work with others, when you team up, you’ll be able to work faster and achieve more.
Somehow, you need to be at the same pace with your other team members, or at least get to know what everyone is working on. If you missed out any of the discussion, follow up.
The most important virtue I realized is Patience and Tolerance. Everyone has a say in their decision and you may not agree with it. But you can always try to achieve a consensus with the other party. Working in group means working together to achieve something, not fighting or backstabbing each other to show who is a better leader. If you’re doing that, you’re not a good leader and you’re being plain annoying. A great leader would lead with much willingness to listen to other’s opinions and to guide whenever necessary only. They are the ones who motivate you to do better and achieve more.
You can still see some dictators in this modern society where everything he says is right. Well, I guess we’ll just have to find a way to work with them.
Sometimes, don’t do something just because someone asks you to. You have to do something because you wanted to, or it’s something that you love to do. Just like in the movie ‘3 Idiots’, when you pursue excellence in what you love, others would just follow along.
So whenever you spend time doing something you love, especially when it involves serving others, you’ll find joy indescribable with words. It’s called selfless giving.
Do something to help others today!
When you are stuck with your own old thinking, or you are just merely following others, it’s time to break free.
There are so much to learn in this world. There is no right or wrong, no true and false. It is just one’s perception.
If you want to live free, you need to break free from your own limitations, yet knowing what you are doing is the most appropriate for you and the people around you.
The camp for the freshmen was well organized, and I managed to meet people all across Taiwan, as well as those international students. End of the orientation week and here comes tomorrow: the start of a new semester.
A beautiful temple to visit. Although it is quite costly to pay Siem Reap a visit, Angkor Wat is definitely a must see place if you’re up for the walks and climbs.
Some of the temples are still under restoration, and this will take some time. Most of the restoration projects are funded by a join collaboration between countries like Germany, Switzerland, Japan and others. As you can see in the following photograph, the green tents set up in front of the Angkor Wat temple while waiting for the restoration project to resume.
The number of visitors dropping by is astounding. The crowd here was waiting for the picturesque sunrise, but too bad the sky was cloudy due to rain on previous night.
You can purchase your entry pass after 5.30pm (+7 GMT) and you can hike up to this Phnom Bakheng Temple, where you get to enjoy a nice sunset. However, it was drizzling that day I was up there.
Many of the Buddha statue was maimed and damaged. A handbook which you can buy easily when you’re in the temples will explain why this happened.
It will take about 1 day to see Angkor Wat and some of the temples around it. The best is if you have 3 days to spare, then you’ll be able to visit most of the places, including the ones some distance away like Banteay Srei temple and Roluos Group. Entry tickets are priced at USD 20 for 1-day, USD 40 for 3 days.
If you have some spare time, you may consider taking bus trip to Phnom Penh and return the same day. I guess I was quite lucky to visit this place early Aug. It may be the monsoon season, but it was quite windy. Sunscreen is a must, do remember to reapply them when you’re out there.
