Day 1

Today, I realised that:

I can't change the world (plan/optimise)

so I'll let the world to change me (do/work).

What I wish I'd known when I was 20

  The following are some examples of things I wish I'd known or done when I was 20 in year 2013 (This advice is suitable for people who were born in year 2003 and beyond) - Be careful of popular things like law, medicine, accounting (translating into 2023 it might be something like web 3.0, crypto, data science). They are not necessarily bad, but think twice because you are gonna be sucked into the prestige magnet - Always aim for the super long term. Want to have a girlfriend/boyfriend? Ask yourselves if you could still live with such a person 10 years later? Want to choose a career? Ask yourselves could you stand doing that thing consistently for 10 years. If the answer is not a solid yes then they are not your right partner or your right career. - Dare to give harsh criticisms to friends and family. Being too nice to them in the short term by sugar coating is actually harming them in the long run. By being truthfully harsh to people around you, they also tell you the truth in r...

Deploy your silicon bit-editors

Do you guys know why are text editing (investing time on difficult-to-use text editors, learn macros and bindings of text editors, learn text editing utility like sed, diff, patch, grep, awk, regex) and version control (the most famous one being Git, investing time to learn confusing things like tree structure, merging, fetching, committing) these 2 things peculiar to only the world of digital bits and the world of computer software dudes? Computer codes and softwares can't be the only things on Earth that fiddle with texts. Other fields that deal with texts a lot: writers, journalists, lawyers, academicians, teachers, professors or even finance, accounting and medicine dudes, they should have equal passion in version control and text editors'[1] techniques and hacks no? But you don't see an attorney or a journalist shouting "Use xxx version control apps" or "Use xxx text editor" because "They make you a better and a more productive lawyer/prof...

一个被荒废遗弃的小天地，本来没打算在这里着笔，但看了一位朋友的回顾 2012 篇，也觉得我该给自己来个小小的总结。 一月，人生中第一个大学考试，如果把它拍成一部电影，简直就是一场几乎窒息和死去活来的惊悚片。 主角最后幸存，可是也得个遍体鳞伤。 最难忘的还是那三天两夜的北上之旅，怀念的是当初的那段情谊，仿佛像李安的孟加拉虎传说，根本不可能再炮制回同样的作品。 三月， “ 鬼门关 ” 走一回，也忘了自己是怎么熬过来的。 全辨， AIESEC, PKB 才发现自己原来也有神乎其技的三头六臂。 终究是那句，有心，天上的月亮都可以被你摘下来。 但其中也留下了不少遗憾，一些人，一些事，只能说对不起。 心中，一定要有梦。 七月，正式上任一个期盼已久的职位。 心中非常清楚那只是一个头衔，信誓旦旦要做出一张漂亮的成绩单，绝不沽名钓誉。 但就连童话故事也要经历巫婆下毒，掉玻璃鞋等戏马，现实更加不可能一帆风顺。 每个星期的心惊胆跳，每一次失败的内心谴责。 还有半年，给自己的承诺，一定一定要全力以赴。 饥饿三十，从去年的营员，到今年的筹委。 同样的形式，同样的意念。 不同的感受，不同的感触。 这肯定不会是最后一次。 大众书局书展， 12 天的奇幻旅程。 遇见的奇妙经历，心中的感动，大大地抵消了过程的艰苦。 最后一天，最后一刻，庆幸地说：我没来错。 新学期，活动少了，但忙碌始终是相随结伴的好朋友。 与一年前相比，改变不多。 只是生活上多了一些新人，以及一些感情升华的旧人。 20 岁生日，蛋糕，面粉，鸡蛋，水，卡，礼物，还有满满的祝福。 我是世界上最幸福的人了吧，感恩。 还有很多很多，没办法一一阐述。 总结这一年，少了以往内心的澎湃激动，多了一份成熟和感动。 对多与少变得更从容，对得与失不再那么计较。   但心中那把炽热的火还燃烧着。 路还是要继续走，而且要走得潇洒，走得无悔。 2013 ，我会更努力地活下去 。
