The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.

真正的高贵在于超越过去的自己。

Every night before I went to bed, I often prayed for a better tomorrow because I felt I hadn't done well in the daytime.

But I found that was nothing more than a dreadfullly vicious circle. 

Honestly speaking, I think the toughest barrier that hinder my self-improvement is my nearly morbid procrastination.

So, if I can't overcome this fatal weakness, then the gap between my anticipation and the reality would become more and more insurmountable.

My parents sometimes criticize me for my hesitation and procrastination, and they said if I could get rid of this two bad habits, I would go out of the shadow of past failures and I would be able to live a better life, at least let them worry about me less.

Uh, I am really a smart guy, but I need to be swift, if I want to be helpful to others.

 

The important thing was to love rather than to be loved.

重要的是去爱，而不是被爱。

From W.Somerset Maugham.

To love, and in most cases we can be loved in return.

I have been single for nearly three years, and I have met with several women who showed their love to me.

Dare I accept one of them?

I am so selfish, there are too many things I worried about, not necessarily.
