Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.

生命是首美丽的曲子，虽然歌词有些纠结。

Now that we get to something about music, ha-ha, I would like to recommend a song with brisk melody, One Step At A Time, from Jordin Sparks.

The song, as well as other songs in my playlist, make me feel better when I was disappointed or frustrated in my life.

As its lyric goes, hurry up and wait, so close, but so far away, everything that you have always dreamed of, close enough that you can taste but you can't just touch, you wonder when and where and how you can succeed, you know you can succeed if you get the chance...

But the door keeps slamming in your face, you are getting all impatient...

Don't worry, don't give up, just one step at a time, you will finally reach it and make your dreams true.

The beautiful things are gonna to happen and are supposed to happen.

Very uplifting words, it really makes me feel better.

Though my life sometimes seems to be messed up, I still have the expectation that one day I can put all things in order and let them work in their best condition.

 

Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.

教育的目的是使空洞的大脑变得开放宽广。

From Malcolm Forbes.

Just seeing the name of this man, Malcolm Forbes, you may guess that he might be relevant to the well-known magazine, Forbes.

Quite right, he was the publisher of Forbes, a financial magazine which takes cosmopolitan reputation.

The Forbes, with the other two, Fortune and Business Week, are considered as the most influential and authoritative ones of their category.

They are famous for their global focus and perspective, as well as practical and innovative information and solutions, which can help those decision-makers.

Here what I want to highlight is that those things provided by these magazines are just information, solution, fundamental thinking method and some others, that is the same with education.

Education can't make us become wealthy or smart directly, it just offer us some basic information and ways of thinking, then we can utilize these skills to become wealthy and smart, and the most important part of education is to practise with the knowledge we got from education.

Without education, we can't live in this fast-moving society; without practice, education can't produce the effects that it deserves.
