some dreams live on in time forever
those dreams,you want with all your heart
and i will do whatever it takes
follow through with the promise i made
put it all on the line
what i hoped for at last would be mine
if i could reach,higher
just for one moment touch the sky
from that one moment in my life
i am gonna be stronger
know that i have tried my very best
i would put my spirit to the test
if i could reach
some days are meant to be remembered
those days we rise above the stars
so i will go the distance this time
seeing more the higher i climb
that the more i believe
all the more that this dream would be mine

Seldom,very seldom does complete truth belong to any human disclosure; seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised,or a little mistaken.

Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself.

Just sent off my history reaction paper to my professor. I feel liberated already haha.
Two nights of non-stop mugging, caffeine really does wonders for me.
Also finished watching this Korean show Sweet18, my sole entertainment these days. In the show, there was a phrase that is often reiterated. “做得好不好没有关系。只要诚心诚意去做就可以了。”
As much as I found it meaningful, I can’t help questioning how we are to know when our performance is sufficiently 诚心诚意. There doesn’t seem to be any yardstick to measure it, so is it something that is really all in your heart? So to me, I perceive it as putting your heart, 100% no less, into the things you do. I believe if it is something done with true effort and sincere intentions, the other person would be able to see or feel it.
Going through the stages of writing a report – from conceptualizing to structuring to getting down and writing it, so much time and effort invested. That’s why I like to call all of my works my ‘杰作’ haha. I’m not a perfectionist though I admit I can be very fussy. Every time I write a report, I have to insist on writing it such that it relates to the reader the way I want it to mean. So half the time, my finger is on the backspace or delete keys because the words coming out from my head just don’t sound right! Frustrating to say the least. Worse, it makes me really slow in writing papers so it’s surprising I can manage to get it done in the end. >.<"
