Good Book (and it's good to be bilingual)

So I went to the library today and found lots of books, which I checked out and took home. I actually like Chinese. I like how simple but complex the language is. Simple because in just a few characters, you can express so much. Complex because the language itself is so intricately linked to the history. There is so much behind each character that you can spend a lifetime exploring every one of them. I am also proud of myself for having decent Chinese handwriting. This is "something" to me because I hadn't been writing Chinese for so long, and I've only been in Hong Kong for 3 months. Now, I have good handwriting, and I am proficient in Mandarin. This is awesome.

Anyway, so after I left the library, I decided to go to the bookstore a few blocks away ... yes, books again. I was only gonna look at books related to my project there, but then I found two books that just spoke to me: one is called "35X33: The 33 Things You Must Accomplish Before 35" (my translation from Chinese into English), and the other one is "Good Luck" (written by two Spanish guys). I haven't started the second one yet, but seriously, I would recommed that first book to anyone (if you know Chinese, or I can translate it to you)! There are so many things in there that everyone should know, especially when you're in your 20s ... things you should equip yourself with for life after 35. The title spoke to me because I have been having a tough time trying to figure out what my life is all about. There are "up days," but there are "down days," too. And the "down days" can be pretty pathetic ... because I'd have no idea how to make it better, mostly due to the fact that I am kinda lost in life to begin with. But this book is helping find a direction. I'm only part-way into it, but I know this is a book that will change my outlook in life like I needed to.

Today was a decent day well invested with profit. I'm fairly happy with it. :)
