"Listening while watching" - Solo Travelogue
The live performance recommended by the third issue of Le Xia, if you haven't heard the original song, you would think they are singing their own song. The band 8 Immortals Restaurant keeps surprising me more and more.
- Zhu's girlfriend, Shan Shan, is going to Japan to pursue a Ph.D. and took the opportunity to bring back a One Piece figurine that I like. The day I received it happened to be the premiere of the live-action One Piece drama on Netflix, so I was doubly happy~ The drama has received mixed reviews in China, but after watching the first few episodes, I found it much better than I expected.
- On Friday night, I had dinner with former colleagues at an Indian restaurant. It was my first time eating Indian food, and it was "clean and hygienic" compared to what I had imagined. However, the conversation was still about some gossip from past companies. I have always thought of myself as someone who doesn't like to dwell on the past when I leave a place, so I wasn't very satisfied with this meal. In addition, it had been a long time since we last met, and we didn't have much chance to talk about personal matters. Although, from another perspective, it was an opportunity to reconnect with colleagues.
- On Saturday afternoon, K's friends came to my house for dinner to celebrate her birthday and play Texas Hold'em, which we have been playing for a long time. But because I had design work to do over the weekend, I didn't enjoy it too much. After dinner, they continued playing at 8:30 p.m., and I stayed in my study until two or three in the morning. Regarding the design work, two projects were suddenly pushed to me this Monday, both of which were inquiries from friends. One is a cute IP design with a five-figure fee, but because I'm not good at this style, I passed it on to a colleague who is good at it. The other is the material design for an offline joint event, which is also a five-figure fee, but it's more urgent and there wasn't enough time. I originally declined it, but on Friday night, they called and insisted that I do it. I'm not good at refusing... so I took it. When I finished the call with the client on Saturday morning and was overwhelmed by the things I had to do over the weekend, I saw a random quote in my flomo: "Handle urgent matters with a calm mind, and you will succeed; handle important matters with a calm mind, and you will make fewer mistakes." It instantly calmed me down, and it came at the right time with its reflective words.
Listen more, judge less#
When someone is expressing themselves, they are the protagonist. Please give them the stage to freely express themselves without interrupting or stealing the spotlight.
At the same time, please believe that the other person is capable of solving their own problems. Don't rush to take too much responsibility for them, but instead provide support and assistance.
Remember, everyone is equal. Don't judge or scrutinize, but fully understand the other person's way of life and perspective.
Believe this: when you treat others with sincerity, they can feel it, and what you receive is also their sincerity.
I understand the principles, and there are a few points in there that I often need to remind myself of.
I Took My Family to Beijing | Detailed Experience Post#
He said, "I'll feel relieved once you come to see me."
He's afraid that I'm not really doing well.
By showing your true life to your loved ones, they will feel that you are not as far away as they thought. The degree to which you wrap yourself up in different stages of life will vary. If you are willing, you can try to open up a little bit and show the world to the people who love you the most.
This is a very practical article, detailing what to eat and what to do every day, as well as relevant precautions. If I have the opportunity, I would also like to take my parents to Beijing (I was supposed to do it this year, but various reasons caused us to miss it).
Narrow Your Focus, Expand Your Influence#
Everyone's focus is always greater than their influence. If we put too much energy into things we can't control, we will greatly limit the scope of our influence and confine ourselves. On the other hand, if we focus our energy on things we can make a difference in, we will find that there are countless things we can "call the shots" on.
