Let's paint the horizon

Another week have passed. A hard week, in many ways.
Though I was used to working hard, the first 3 days of the week was more challenging than most, handling the presentation at one end and working with the upcoming events of next month, and the month after that, on the other hand.

Though, it turned out okay. Perhaps I still lack a bit of trust, enough to start working myself and keep pushing other quite roughly... but I don't regret doing so :) Somebody has to light the spark, and work hard to keep it burning for a while. :) It takes some toll on my health, but I can still handle it, I guess :)

And yet, the three days was rewarding. I was able to read, talk and write more than what I usually do, partly because of the team. I also saw that people do radiate their personality around them, be it friendly, composed or passionate. Got some real laugh also, the things I haven't found for a while back :D

On the other hand, felt something melting already (hope my guess was correct) :D Still striving to see that smile again and again, although I don't have the expense to spend time a lot :P

:) Still got the Nautilus shell to draw, and a handful of things for the weekends, but I 'll try my best :)

As opposed to my new "pinkish" friend, let's paint the world blue, and walk towards that horizon :)

The power of words

"Less is more" - That's one of the famous quote that those from design school taught me. And by the time I understand that, I also realized how powerful a single word can be...

For example, changing your speech from "I told you I 'll be busy." to "I 'll be busy, as I have told you before" would mean entirely different thing to the listener, with the former like an angry yell. On the other hand, saying "I will not be very free" also hint the same idea, but it actually suggest a possibility of being free, which is not bad.

Hence, I guess we will have to choose our world very carefully, as words, however small the can be, can be wings that lift one's spirit up, or knives that cut through them...

But occasionally, words alone can't express certain things. :)

Thật và giả

Đã có bao giờ bạn thử đếm xem mình cười bao nhiêu lần trong một ngày, và cười như thế nào?
Trong số đó, có bao nhiêu là lần bạn thật sự phá lên cười vì vui, vì sung sướng; bao nhiêu lần bạn cười một cách xã giao, để làm ra vẻ mình thân thiện và dễ gần; bao nhiêu lần bàn cười để quên đi một chuyện gì đó làm bạn bận lòng...

Và nụ cười cũng có nhiều sắc thái. Nhiều khi những nụ cười mỉm lại ẩn chứa nhiều ý nghĩa khác...
