Length of Day: 10h 15m  

Tomorrow will be 1m 17s shorter

 Just a simple action, as I went online to check the weather, somehow my heart trembled when I see the line saying, “Tomorrow will be 1m 17s shorter.”

It served as a reminder for me, that time is a non-stop mechanism which awaits for no one, and that I should use it wisely.  Precious as gold yet cannot be purchased by gold.

 One minute seems to be insignificant, when we have hours and hours of daylight during the day, and few people care about it, or even acknowledge the degeneration of the sun shine. Similarly few people noticed how we continuously are getting older than one minute ago.

 The Earth orbits around the Sun and the days eventually get longer by the time summer arrive. Our life, however, is an irreversible process and there is only one way we are heading toward.

 Only few people think about how do they want to spend the remaining portion till they reach the end. Even fewer people question themselves, where is the destination?

I was nowhere

I am now,here

Passion is not something to be banked on. I am saying this because recently I've met so many people who are unhappy with their career. Please note I said "career" instead of "job".

As a very unstable employee I've worked for 9 companies in the past 10 years but my job title hasn't changed. For the next ten years or so I can still see myself working in a similar environment, dealing with similar problems. For those of you who may still remember, I had a rough relationship with my previous company. As a result I resigned after only working there for months, and went on a very long holiday around the country, happily burned all my hard earned money to glorify the closure. That was my special way to say good-bye.

Now that I am still working in the same field, happier than ever with my new job. I feel very sorry for those people who told me they are unhappy with their career. Changing a job is easy, but changing a career could be complicated, especially if you have already been working for years and all your experience is based on what you have done in that particular area, which sadly, is now making you unhappy.

There are painters who told me they draw without soul, dancers who told me they hop like monkeys in the circus, writers who told me they sell their articles by the amount, like potato or apples on the market. Lastly I met this very experienced photographer who said that every time he touches his camera he feels as if he is committing a sin.

“Why is that?” finally I asked the question.

“I lost my feelings for the most valuable thing in my life. My passion was for photography but now I am clicking the camera purely for the pay cheque.”

Most of the unhappy souls chose their career based on what they were interested in. However I think it is very important to protect your interest. In other words, don’t transform your passion into a tool that makes money for you. Because once your whole life depends on what you can produce at the end of the day, may it be a piece of drawing, a page of article, the value of that work has now been associated with a fixed price, and I believe that passion is priceless.

May all the sorrow faces redefine their passion and regain happiness.

近來總是莫名的惶惶，覺得地球瀕臨瓦解，人類所剩時間不多了。

於是很積極努力地安排時間禪修，淨化身心，在面對判決的那一刻，至少會比較坦然。

思想的改變，使得生活態度也起了變化，覺得世界上真正重要的就是身體健康，其他那些名利財富，都是可以做取捨的。

這是杞人憂天，還是未雨綢繆？
