Trophy love.

Posted on December 19, 2019November 20, 2021 by chefswifediary

A letter was handed to her that morning. Expecting nothing less, she frazzled the envelope and started running through the content, line by line. Reflecting the rocky roads over the past two years, it was a big piece of work. Maybe everyone had similar results, moderate ratings and average feedback. Still, she believed she delivered…

Say Hi!

Posted on December 9, 2019 by chefswifediary

It’s the last month of 2019. A remarkable journey, landed at 100th post a few days ago. What’s more, writing is no longer a burden but a part of life.

The best motivator.

Posted on December 8, 2019 by chefswifediary

Posted on November 19, 2019November 20, 2021 by chefswifediary

Breath of wild green fields, linearly meet the bright blue sky. In the horizon future is calling, courageous soldiers it hopes to charm.   A journey that may take decades, not one tad they look afraid. As bold as brass they march forward, despite occasional rough paths onward. Experience surroundings, appreciate livings, embrace moments with…

How much better we can be?

Posted on November 8, 2019July 10, 2024 by chefswifediary

Often we are caught in the paradox of how good we are to what we can possibly achieved. Convincing ourselves on how good we are and yet not downplaying competition are complex balances to manage. Self-generated positive belief is necessary in generating courage to face challenges. It is not that we are over-confident. Instead, it’s…
