Life is like a glass bottle

Life is like a glass bottle. Our task is to fill it up with rocks, sands and water.
Rocks are big things that take up most of our time.
Sands are tons of trifles require moderate time.
Water are the rest of time that flies by quickly.

Keep in mind, Life is short and precious. We want to absorb as much as possible in our limited time span. Some people may start off with the sands and later on find out the rocks no longer fit in anymore. Some people just choose water but feel their bottle much lighter than others.

So, here is how we should do it:

Put in the big rocks first, then pour in the sands,shake it and lastly let the water flow in to fill up the space.

It is called prioritization in order to maximize value/time ratio or in another word to make the most out of our life. 

This is a story my kindly mother try to tell me last night. Thank you Mom. =)

Ganbatte!

I always hate myself being so weak. So embarrassed by my cowardice.
I have to admit that I am not as strong as I wish would be.
It is time to give up my pride because I no longer have the reason for that.
Like our management professor said, people viewing challenges as opportunities can exert more efforts, persist longer and ultimately perform at a higher level.
I should really look into my heart and face my weakness. Change is hard but no change is pathetic.

First Time Camper

So, here I am, sitting in my room thinking: am I really going to camp tomorrow? I always loved the mother Nature. I still remember climbing the mountains over the weekends with my family back in China. However, I have never camped before, not even facilitating a camp. I know...this is not a real camp where you live in a small tent you build for yourself. We get to live in a cabin and there will be electricity (too bad I don't have a sleeping bag but I should be fine with a blanket). But my fully-developed nerves are killing me and I have to do one of the most boring thing in the world - packing.

Enough of the complaints. I still look forward to facilitating the last Camp Carey of this semester. And finger-crossed for our group!

p.s. Congrats for ASU football! 

Love,

Angela

New Start, New Life

I happened to view my dear friend Jocelyn's blog and read some of her posts about her colorful life which I really enjoyed. I realize that there are so many amazing things going on in my life everyday and I am forgetting them as time goes by. So I decided to open my blog and record every important moment in my life here in America. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. =)

Love,

Angela
