Hey this topic actually reminds me of a tea party I’ve been to several weeks ago The theme of that party was about different living styles. so basically, everyone got to share their own special ways for living their own lives. At the beginning, we were divided into several groups and were asked to exchange our views. My partner is a young girl who is just at the same age like me. While chatting together, I found that her life was so amazing.

First she was actually self-employed. Half of her time was spent on running her little shop, selling loads of artefacts she collected from different cities and countries; the other half was spent on traveling. she told me every month, she would try to squeeze some time, perhaps only 3 or 5 days, to see other places.

While she was describing, you know, how wonderful it was when she bumped into exquisite handmade stuff from local shops, her face was filled with enchanting happiness at that moment. I felt so admired about her cos that’s one I’d like to have in the future. It’s just like the perfect life, you know, you get to support yourself and chase your dream at the same time. i was feeling so jealous about her.

Finally, it was like revealing the secret, she told me she actually got prepared for her life using 5 years. Before running her own shop, she worked so hard in a foreign company. So you see, it really pays off. That conversation truly left me a deep impression. Maybe I need to work even harder for my work, you know, no pains no gains.
