"Listening and 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.
- Brother Zhu's girlfriend, Shan Shan, is going to Japan to pursue a Ph.D. She took the opportunity to bring back a One Piece figurine that I like. On the day I received it, the live-action adaptation of One Piece on Netflix was also released, so I was doubly happy~ The reception of this live-action adaptation in China has been mixed, but after watching the first few episodes, I found it much better than I expected.
- On Friday night, I had dinner with my former colleagues at an Indian restaurant. It was my first time trying Indian cuisine, and it was "clean and hygienic" beyond my imagination. However, our conversation revolved around gossip from our previous companies. I have always considered myself 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 many intimate conversations. Although I can see it from a different perspective as an opportunity to reconnect with my colleagues.
- On Saturday afternoon, K Teacher's friends came to my house to celebrate her birthday and play Texas Hold'em, which we have been playing for a long time. However, I had to work on some design projects over the weekend, so I didn't enjoy the game too much. After dinner, they continued playing until 8:30 p.m., while I stayed in my study and worked until 2-3 a.m.😬 Regarding the design projects, two of them were suddenly assigned to me this Monday. They were both requested by friends. One is a cute IP design with a five-figure budget, but since I'm not good at this style, I passed it on to a colleague who is good at it. The other one is the material design for an offline joint event, also with a five-figure budget, but it was more urgent and I initially declined it. However, they called me in the early hours of Friday to insist 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 feeling overwhelmed by the tasks I had to complete over the weekend, I saw a random quote in my Flomo notes: "Handle important matters with urgency, and you will succeed; handle urgent matters with patience, and you will make fewer mistakes." It instantly calmed me down. It was the perfect timing for such a reflective statement.
Listen More, Judge Less#
When someone is expressing themselves, they are the protagonist. Please give them the space to freely express themselves without interrupting or stealing the spotlight.
At the same time, 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#
He said, "I'll feel relieved once you see me."
He was afraid that I wasn't 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 will vary at different stages of life. If you are willing, you can try to open up a little bit and show yourself to the people who love you the most.
This is a very practical article, detailing what to eat and what to do each day, as well as related precautions. If I have the opportunity, I would also like to take my parents to visit Beijing (we were supposed to go 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 cannot 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.
