People who changed my life

1984 My mummy and daddy, they gave me birth.

1997 Miss Laura Hou, she called me "Richard"

2000 Miss Qiu, she helped me through my senior high school

2003 Miss Heather Bowden, her smiles encouraged me

2004 Ho's family, they are my family in Singapore.

2010 Prof C H Ling, he point out the direction of my career

And in 2010 it is a heart who changed my life forever. I received a lot from this heart. However, I didn't give too much. The shortest distance is the distance between two hearts. The longest distance is the distance between two brains. The strangest distance is the distance between a heart and a brain. The heart and the brain are so close, but they are at different height. The brain is trying his best to fly high to reach the heart. The brain didn't realised that only heart can fly.

8 years

Feel happy just now when I heard "Your mum's calligraphy is still hanged in my study room"

两天前给Heather打了电话，她刚从南京回来，现在她彻底退休了，她的儿子也快结婚了，她家要从墨尔本郊区搬到市里。喜欢听她的声音，她的声音里充满了鼓励。八年了，我八年没见到她了。说来真是奇怪，在上中学时见过不少外籍教师，像她这样又有教学能力又每天充满了笑容的只有她一个人。现在想起以前高中的生活太压抑了，作为学生的唯一目的就是把分数考高，没此都要听班主任和其他任课老师说形势多么多么的严峻，天天生活在这种压抑的环境下。唯独在她的课上，我能感受到鼓励，我记得她说过她给学生的Grade是"Good", "Great", 和"Excellent"，她从来没说过指责的话。后来我请她到我家吃过两次饭，第一次是炒菜，第二次是饺子，她第一次来的时候很喜欢我妈妈的书法，第二次她来的时候我妈妈就送给了她一幅裱好的书法，她高兴的像个孩子一样。后来我来了这边我每年都给她打电话，后来有一阵她去南京教书了，我们只有用E-mail来联络。有一次，我发给她我的照片，她回复说:"Richard, if you are not thinner, you must be taller now."我看了她的回复后在那边大笑。现在她已经退休了，真想有一天去墨尔本看看她，她在教我的时候头发已有些发白了，想必我再见到她时她应该已是银发满头了。8年了，时间过得好慢，时间过得好快。

实话实说 Tell it like it is

觉得应该写一篇中文的记录了，以前在我上中学的时候每个星期天早上七点二十我都要打开电视机收看崔永元主持的谈话节目《实话实说》。其中给我印象最深刻的一位嘉宾是前日本八佰伴的老板，他是一个60多岁的老人，他叫和田一夫。当时在他鼎盛时期，他办公室的落地窗是一片高几米长几十米的玻璃，不是好几块玻璃拼成的，当时为了装这块玻璃，他专门雇人用直升机把窗户装好的。后来在金融危机时他的集团倒闭了，他从以前的千万富翁变成了普通人。崔永元把他请到了实话实说的栏目现场，他当时在现场说他很欣赏邓小平，邓小平东山再起的时候已经74岁，他比邓小平还年轻，所以他不服输，为了把他失败的经验传授给下一代，他又在朋友的帮助下创办了一间咨询公司。

现在我对那一期实话实说的感想更深了，最近在网上找那期节目的视频，还没有找到。真的很想再回顾一遍。

I am confident I will not never become them

No more "to be continued"

A even more lazy way of writing blog is to post some Youtube video. I am really lazy recently. Understand the society a bit more. I thought Jerry's TV program is not true. Now I realized that it is quite close to reality. It is just that in Singapore, the TV shows are not that straight forward.

Confident

I realized that confidence is not something I have to chase for. I just have to be confident myself.
