Organic Life

Life is so bumpy? Each day is so painful? Heart is so big but arms are so weak? Being driven by the inertia of life and hard to take a turn? Each day I am thinking, thinking about how I can be a better man tomorrow, but never even spend a minute appreciating the things that I have done today. I used to think that I achieve as many as I want because ambition is limitless, but I did not realize that if I take too much out of my life, I am also taking away happiness. Life is just like an area made up of soil, if you do not make effort to irrigate it, it will only be covered by wild weed, but if you take too much out of it, it becomes arid. Therefore, I am thinking about how to live a life in an “organic” way. Not by indulgence, not by strict discipline, not by asceticism. It is rather a life of vigor and vitality, where the water of joy is flowing.

The Way of Life

There are many ways of life. One can live eagerly, passionately, willingly, humbly, or restrictively. Each way of life is preferably good for one or several walks of life—maybe good for art, good for science, or good for technology. But there is one way of life that is the ultimate among all of them. This approach of life is peaceful but thrilling, aimless but willful, empty but desirable, simple but sophisticated. There is no other way of life than this way of life.

A kickoff for entrepreneurship

Ever since I was in middle school, I have had a dream to own a start-up by myself. By doing so, I am not occupying any jobs but creating jobs for people. The truth is I was not that noble at that time, I just simply thought that I would become rich by being an entrepreneur. By now, I am not that money-orientated, but I still hold the dream that I will be an entrepreneur in the future. Very fortunately, the U.S. is such a fertile soil for entrepreneurs. Intellectual property is well protected by laws; entrepreneurship flourishes; best of all, if you really have a good idea, venture capitals are there to examine it.

So why not try to put it into practice, since I always have ideas about doing business. Alright, the first step I am going to take is to start a student organization. A student organization is the best place to examine leadership, networking and other business skills. And I believe, I will have a lot of fun in doing this.
