| A Thought Inspired | You Choose What to Eat—So Why Not Choose Your Life?

2016-12-22

“Give it a try!” is something people say all the time in English. Just try it! Isn’t that how our choices in life work too? How can you know whether you like something if you’ve never tried it? Even if it turns out to be a dud, at least you’ll know to order something different next time. You might even realize that the vibe of the whole place simply doesn’t agree with you—in which case, thanks, but let’s not keep in touch. Besides choosing a main course, we can also take a tiny bite to sample the flavor. The risk is small, but our palate expands. All we lose is a little time and money, while gaining invaluable experience. Hey—you get to choose what you eat, so why can’t you choose your life?

| Reflections | “When Did You Start Learning English?”

2016-07-17

When I first set off on a working holiday in Australia, I figured that after ten years of English classes through junior high, high school, and university, my English couldn’t be that bad. But reality quickly shut the door in my face. “It doesn’t have to be great—just good enough to get me into the university I want.” Back then, English was merely a tool for earning a degree. It wasn’t until I became curious about the world and eager to connect with the people in it that I truly began learning English.

| A Moment of Reflection | The One Thing to Hold On To Is Never Giving Up on Doing What’s Right.

2016-05-03

There will always be someone in this world who shows you just how precious you are—and someone else who makes you realize how far you still have to go. The process may be heartbreaking, will undoubtedly be painful, and may even make you question your worth a thousand times over. But as long as you keep adapting and finding ways to respond, it will all become valuable experience. And the one thing to hold on to is never giving up on doing what’s right.

2016-01-14

Whenever I hear someone say, “I’m so jealous you get to travel to _____,” I always have mixed feelings—because if there’s something about me that you envy, there must also be something about you that I envy.

2015-11-22

When all you can think is, “I don’t have the money, so there’s no way I can achieve my dream,” you give up the chance to ask yourself: How can I make my dream come true without money?

| Reflections | Day 36 Since Leaving the Office

2015-11-05

Whenever I travel, friends inevitably ask, “Isn’t it time you gave up the easy life and faced the challenges of work?” But last month, as my final day at the office drew closer, I realized that work had somehow become my comfort zone.

| A Thought Inspired by Experience | Learning Isn’t Just About Skills—It Also Teaches Us to See Life Differently

2015-09-21

The fascinating thing about learning is that it’s not just about acquiring skills. By understanding how something works and stepping into a different role, we also begin to see our seemingly familiar surroundings from a whole new perspective.

| A Thought Inspired | If Every Sound Were a Dream, Would You Have the Courage to Chase It?

2015-09-09

When we were little, we never overthought anything. Even in front of a crowd, we simply did whatever we felt like doing. But as we grow older, we think too much. The older we get, the more we worry about what others think, hanging back and feeling too timid to try. “Let’s see how everyone else does it before deciding!” And perhaps, without even realizing it, we miss out on so many things we love and want to experience. Only when we are older still, and no longer willing to miss out on anything, do we finally summon the courage to try again—and find joy in the little things.

Darling, money and men/women shouldn’t be how we judge a trip. “The stories that come from those experiences are what make it truly priceless.”

When traveling on a budget, what matters shouldn’t be how much money I’ve saved, but this: money shouldn’t be the reason I let my dreams pass me by.

If labeling people is merely an excuse to avoid putting in the effort to improve, while refusing to acknowledge the work they’ve put in, then those labels are nothing more than boundaries we impose on ourselves.
