Excelsior

Guess who’s back after 4 days?

Not until I closed my blog have I realized that my mind is endlessly blogging. My brain is forming sentences every single second to describe my observations and feelings. Once I heard a great quote, I can’t help to mark it down immediately. Anyways guys, I gave up. I don’t care how sensitive the blog content is nor how it may jeopardize my career or so on. f!0n1 is back!

微微細雨下，年僅29歲的Dropbox創辦人Drew Houston畢業7年後重踏校園，成為近年大學最年輕的畢業演講者。Dropbox 用戶數量全球以超過1億人，Houston於2012年更成為了《福布斯》的封面人物，估計資產超逾4億美元。他的人生經驗未必及歷屆的講者豐富，但正如他所說, 他崎嶇的創業生涯卻有如歷險記一樣interesting。 他的life cheatsheet有三項看似無關的items：(1) tennis ball，(2) circle (3) 30,000.

Tennis Ball: 做事應有小狗追球般的狂熱追求，不但只是“love”，要”obsessed“。你人生的tennis ball是什麼？我呢，其實寫作就是我的tennis ball，唯一讓我甘心為它廢寢忘餐的事。
“I was going to say work on what you love, but that’s not really it. It’s so easy to convince yourself that you love what you’re doing — who wants to admit that they don’t? When I think about it, the happiest and most successful people I know don’t just love what they do, they’re obsessed with solving an important problem, something that matters to them”

You’re the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with：Self-explanatory。要嚴選你的社交圈子，不要讓自己退步。所以within my clique的朋友仔都是我非常欣賞的人。
“One thing I’ve learned is surrounding yourself with inspiring people is now just as important as being talented or working hard.”

30,000：人生只有30,000天，365 *24 = 8,760 days already ticked away..

Excelsior: 意即不斷向上，精益求精。記得在training時我value的是 Endeavor & Patience。不能退步，或者婚禮應在The Excelsior擺 XD

Love is essential, Gregariousness is optional : 沒有blog的日子，睡覺前都在看書，終於看完Quiet。這本書讓所有內向人士自我感覺良好，但總不能expect所有人都有同理心empathy on us。愛是必然，交際可選。
