“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
By Steve Jobs

Long time no update on my blog

It’s been a long time since the last time I updated my blog post. That is for some reasons, like the preparation of GRE and TOEFL and the application, my VPN was once expired and I didn’t renew it in time…

But the most important one is that, it seems that I have lost the desire of self expression, and I’m kind of, you know, totally disappointed in the society and country I live in. I have no more faith in it and I don’t believe that I can make a change. Though I can still make small changes in my own life and more or less give people around me some positive influences, I still feel that what I’m thinking and trying just make no sense, this society is too big and people’s minds are too hard to be changed or even influenced. And if I’m not careful enough, I may even become an enemy. In an environment that you’re either a friend or an enemy, discussion and different opinions are not tolerated and accepted, no need to mention “changes”.

But my time is limited, I still have a career to pursue, an American dream to realize……maybe that’s the case: I cannot change others life, no matter how much I care about them, but I do can change mine.

So, I’ve decided not to care about so many things any more. I only care about my self, my career and my future. The society forces me to be a selfish man and to some extent a “bad man”(at least I can conclude that from things I’ve been through), so that’s not my problem.

I do have a good heart, and I’m still gonna be a good man and do good things when the time and environment are right. But now, I only care about my future.

I’m not living to please anyone; I’m not a stupid man that will sacrifice  my benefits to feed you people’s endless appetite and desire; I’m not a prisoner of anything.

    I like this sentence.
