In the morning, it reported that an earthquake happened in Taiwan. And I was told there was slight quake at my city. Maybe I was in the deep sleep, I just did not have any sense of quake. Several people died when it happened at around 4 A.M in the morning when everyone was in the dream.
Before the new year, today, I enjoy my first day of spring festival holiday. While there are some places people can not smoothly get by it because of conflicts caused by wars and nature disasters. Then I feel many of our complaints are not hard to deal with. They are not unfixable. Actually we can just go over it with a little bit courage and patience. Usually we endure and bear people when it comes to work, while easily going to lose temper and yell at beloved ones who really care us. This care is often being ignored and taken it for granted. We even think it is the care supposed to be like what it should exist there. Nothing to be surprised.
Anything could be at the turning point as there is something to happen. In front of piles of work, and a never known plan which might occupy much of time from life and work, we probably then find the importance of cherishing. Because in face of such a moment, we realize we really got little time to accompany parents and beloved ones. Only the time of saying goodbye, does we wake up and understand it could have been better if time was no wasted on those meaningless things.
The caution of losing time, I think, it might be the motivation of successful people. They take the time as motto to remind and push them forward. Squeeze from spare time, we can actually make full of it and make it more efficient. We often conceive the thought about we can not. The reason of being unable to do something caused by the deficiency of experiencing. Only go through the toughness and hardship, can we get known well of those unforgettable years.
Be grateful to be alive, live at present. I often tell myself of this sentence.

- People say ''A year's plan starts in Spring''. Spring is here now and with the new year , most people would plan for the coming year.
PLANS: According to our past years experience, ''planning'' is one thing but ''realization'' of the plans is another thing. So, plan sensibly and stay within our limits.
WHAT DO WE WANT: We all hope to improve our lives and live better. Most of us would want more income, good health, harmonious family, marriage, happiness, better jobs or other material things.
WHY DO OUR PLANS FAIL YEAR AFTER YEAR: The reason why our plans don't work is mainly because we over plan or have unrealistic expectations.
INCOME & MORE MONEY: Everyone wants a higher income, high salary or good job. This is not an unreasonable expectation, but we have to look at the economy. The past few years, getting a good job was not too difficult and we should have settled on a good job which could withstand the present bad economy. Now is the time to conserve and be happy if you are holding on to a safe job. This is not the time to venture or change jobs. Those who are in business would be facing turbulence in business and a lot of businesses are slowly going down with an uncertain future. Most people believe that money can solve all problems, but most don't know that other troubles come with wealth. I have come across a lot of rich people in the course of my business, living in huge houses, luxuries and lots of money, but that money cannot help them much. Keeping wealth is more difficult than creating wealth. Wealth don't buy health. Perhaps, the advantage of wealth is that more people pretend to care about you and be nice to you for benefits. Rich, middle-class or poor have their own worries. Therefore, look before you leap and be happy where you are now if possible. Stay on safe grounds. Tomorrow is guaranteed to nobody.
RELATIONSHIPS: To have trustworthy relationships, we should devote our attention to our family and loved ones. A worthwhile and trusted relationship needs to be built, cultivated, assured and maintained. If you have loved ones beside you or if you have parents with you, that is your assurance and never neglect them.
MARRIAGES: The world has changed, men and women have equal rights and women are not reliant on men like they did before. In a traditional country like China, a man is supposed to be the provider and women should be the supporter. Quite often women earns more than men. Women can survive without men and men are reluctant to commit themselves to marriage, therefore, there are lots of singles around nowadays. However, nature is above everything. Marriage is a mission in life and sooner or later. People are torn between being single or marriage. There are lots of considerations for marriage. Couples have to think about buying a comfortable home, enough income to raise a family, live a respectable life and support a family. Most don't have these qualifications, so marriage is not easy. Hope parents think about what their offspring are facing and don't push them too hard. Marriage is not something which a person can wish for. When marriage happens, it happens. When it does not happen, it is not your fault. Fate is in control.

PLANS: ...
Beginning of the new year means everything is new with the traditional Chinese culture. The old has their own wishes on kids, hopes that they can have a family of their own. The young is looking forward to seeing if there is something they can try and also hope their parents and other members are getting well.
The plan is quite right as you mentioned above, that is to be set with the control of one's ability, do not go far away and over the limitation. Yes. We often think too much while act less, that is why we find it hard to realize drams. What is more, we do not fully get through what exactly we are really caring and needing. So, we usually make impulsive plans out of a sudden enthusiasm which soon fades away as time goes.
The money and job. Very well as the explanation of yours. Nowadays, it is not that easy to make money. The slowdown of economy now is facing its tough and cold winter. We do not know when it goes back to be normal. The weak performance of stock market, and the low level of bank interest, shutdown and unemployment from manufacture, etc., all together reveals the staggering economic growth. Meanwhile the high living cost burdens people a lot, especially those who live in metropolises. These things add to the anxiety on people and they feel kind of worrying of that.
Relationship. It is the very important connection we have to maintain. Here is one thing we have to be sure. That is what kind of relation we really need. It is easy to make friends, while hard to fine some good one who can help when we are in trouble and give advices when we lose direction. The definition of good friends, is those who really offer help, not just about giving money and something like that when we are in tough and difficult moment. More of the relation is they will truly do the help. What if there is none we can make good friends like that? It is also ok. BECAUSE as the saying, it is hard to find such one.
Marriage. Right, this is the topic we always talk. AS I talked above, the burden of marriage now becomes more than what we used to do. And the portion of female intellectuals has taken a larger part of the social workforce. Thus, they have earned more than those average men. Those women are easily to become the so called leftover women. Generally, a man with modest income does not feel that he has the ability of maintaining a stable family by marring such a woman. One thing he feels the deficiency of materials support, and another thing is from the deep influence of traditional culture that a man should be the cohesion of a family and his wife should be supportive of her husband's career. But it is changing. On the other side, those girls and women who are with high income and notable social status own open concept of marriage. They'd rather like to choose a good partner other than just randomly find one to live. This case does not fit for them anymore. Therefore, we have to be patient about what we have and meet.
