Working Birthday
Happy Birthday to my 45th year on the planet; the busy personal trival issues keep me from writing my blog for a few days, I shall re-connected from last weekend.That's a quite Sat. last week, after my birthday lunch at a newly open Tenpenyaki restaurant, I had an appointment with Wu - who just resign from Tsu Shu hight school, this is where Fruit studies, The main reason for sending Fruit to the school is because of Wu, who we trusted so much and wish to correct the behavior of Fruit, if we may. unfortunately, due to the campus political issue, he resigned on last week.
I invited him over for Steak dinner. went home and share some finding with wife, we've thinking to tranfer Fruit somewhere instead of this school, especially when receivng SMS from the execuive of Student Parent Committe, the message is horrible, you can't image how bad they tried to seduce committe memeber with the prilivige they capture from school. domation mean nothing, but they manupilate the situation so bad, both me and my wife hate it so bad.
Oda's concert is another inspiration to me, the 2 and half hours music and passion keep me thinking, for a very long time, why a person reach his 60 can distribute and spread such a strong engergy to the audience who's average age is 30, his song is so positive and he himself is the spoke person for the term " Passion ", as Churchill said on his last speech : Never, never, never, never give up ; I degist Oda's performace for a long time and the music and inspiration he brought to me is greater then a concert.
Heading for a Middle Taiwan journey as part of my Birthday Week, when seeing Sound off by 8 in the morning on Monday, we follow the route of the Map - How interesing the map works, this is the first time we follow what the map direct and we didn't get lost for the entire trip, the first time. it's like a Temple worship without incent, we been to The Lion Head moutain, the Hakka town Nan Chung, some aboriginal villiage near Mai li, and enjoy the hop spring at Tai An - The Tiger Mountain Hot Spring Hotel, one of the great view you can imagine -- it stand on a small hill where connected with the mainland with a suspension bridge, great view and great place. I must return it again.
Staying overnight at Taichung and visit 3 night market at night, follwoing day, we enjoy courment local delicacy at Chang Hwa and Lu Kang- I love the local food so much. our last stop is Tachia, where we pay our visit to one of the most popular temple in Taiwan, Chang Nan Kung, where the 7 days nonstop pilgram take place every year, and it become the Festival now.
This is one of the best birthday trip I had in life, wife drive, I read the map, what a combination and complimentary role we play in life.
Yesterday, busy in my thing, had an early meeting with the Sales trainer, R. Hun, nice guy, internalization and habitual are 2 important concept I took from him. Lunch with Chariman Chen of PTS, I subtally inform him my decison of not joining the PTS group , he denised but aware my situation. how funny I use the ' Next Magazine " scandle , and it seems he is a little bit hesitate then.
Tea with Lu, who is in the middle of join CHT or not, good person. I reflect to her what I am doing and what's the future ahead, she told me a few things which is value to my next move. No PTS, reserve CHT, keep friendship with ACTON, good for travelling....
Match making for Chariman Hochen and Minister Cheng, in regard to the Internaional Youth Travelling corporation, it seems works, Hochen give his credit to me, I am flattered and I owe him again., how to compensate, this is anothe question.
Choose to work on Birthday this year, a very rare case, I developed the habit of not working on birthday for many years, although this is not the rule, but I keep it my own for so long, this year, it happen to conflict with the closing, the potential event to raise emotion, thanks to the Lion Head Mountain worship, there's one wall carve with Mater Shang Yang's wit : Don't get Angry, Angry it to punish oursleves with others' fought, great wisdom, similar with what Ben Carson mentioned on his interview : Don't invest your time and energy in negetive direction.
Working birthday, Happy birthday.
