Reading is doomed to be a long and lonely journey. I shall cherish my energy. Only through reading can one acquire the knowledge and the ways of thinking that one needs to produce a good essay. Otherwise your brain is nothing but a no man's land. With an active brain and an active body can one achieve a lot more things than one could imagine. Mental and physical activities are the essentials of a decent life. I feel extremely lucky that I am in possession of both. However, they won't come to me automatically. I have to work for them, that is to read and exercise. There is no way things will happen themselves. The Daoism concept of Wuwei has had an influence on my. But I'm sure that I didn't comprehend it in the right way. It says, 无为而无不为. It discusses the principle of the universe and the influence it had on human beings. If its point was to tell people not to do anything, human society would stop operating and turn into a chaos. So, before I figure out what its real meaning and philosophy is, I should not apply my understanding of Wuwei to my everyday life.

Read, to be a better man. Tonight, I'm finishing this book. Read like the house is on fire. Tomorrow the time to make this happen will pass.

I like this place, this 简书。It's simple, and it works. I will use it as my own spot, my own world. In here I'm speaking to myself, without pressure, yet in a fairly presentable way. Compared to writing in Word, here is more cozy and relaxing. The interface, the color, the font, everything is just so cozy and there is absolutely nothing unnecessary. Here I can feel the flow of my thoughts wondering freely, without constriction. I know what I write is nothing close perfection, but that's exactly the point. I don't have to start typing and expect a long, perfect, sophisticated essay come out on the screen the next minute. Because, admit it, that's precisely what you have expected. For now, I've done analyzing my thoughts. It's time to get down to the real deal. Let's cut up the book and eat it up!
