Yesterday we saw a talk show about that if you have a time machine, you can go through the time machine to the future. Maybe it is 10 years later. You see the conclusion of that time, which is a bad conclusion or bad institution. So the question if you have time machine, you know the conclusion of 10 years later. Then you back to true life.

I choose optimism since I can see the institution in 10 years. Why I not using every minute of these 10 years? I believe that I will pursue what I love, which will be painting or handworking. I will cherish the relationship with our family, with our parents of grandparents. I will enjoy this 10 years life with Chen. So I have lots of things that I want to do. I don’t want to be positive to lose these 10 years.
