Hi, I have the same experience like, and I left our country justly for 4 years too. I'm roamingthe the word from China to Paris, and than to Montreal. I have the same feeling like you. Cheers, lonely.
In life, one needs to dream first -- inspiring courage derives from one's beautiful and splendid dreams. Once you have envisioned where you really belong, you can work on it - Thousands Miles Start From Step One (Even Stephen Covey quoted our ancient philosephy).
What is it -- that you have always wanted to do but have not done yet for various reasons?
"Work On It" doesn't translate into your dream profession and/or date overnight. It merely builds up the solid foundation where you can stand tall and high - to see further. Opportunity coupled with or without luck can be grasped by those with a vision.
Back a few years ago, I.T. profession was insanely hot -- A friend of mine strongly recommended me to do a degree in that field however my background is quite different. I hestiated...many people told me that I could be very successful with the computers since I knew the basics very well. Someone my 6th convinced me that I would hate that profession...I was right - now I am very happy with what I chose back then. On the other hand, many computer experts are out of work ( I am not here to debate which profession is better). I am just saying that one should do something he will be happy on the long term though we all did something that we hate to pay the bills.
I like BlueAngel's "down-to-earth" concept - perfection does exist in the world of artists, muscians and some writers. Back to reality, we have to deal with lots of imperfections - different elements make the colors: Foliage is splendid is becuase of the blue sky, crispy breeze and open-field...
Hi, hiaeamontreal
Can I borrow your book? 我现在正好有时间,也有心情, 只想读书,我觉得我失去了生活的目标和向上的动力,好像‘我看不到天地的边,不知道该往何处去’,是我真的老了,还是加拿大使人变的安于现状?好久没有读过书了,很需要补充些营养,如果可以的话,请回电话813-7720,先谢过。
