Blessed

I am so blessed.
This reminds me of an entry I wrote a few years back during thanksgiving where I was missing my family and the festivities surrounding the holidays. Then i was reminded of what i do have. Again, I know that I can't complain about anything in life because I know I have so much. God has given me more than I can ask for.

Recently I've been feeling extremely blessed. Why? I'm just really happy. I've been so happy.
Depending on perspective, I know I might not have a high-paying job but I feel like I make so much--I enjoy the luxury of food whenever I feel hunger, I have an apartment with heat, electricity and water, I have a phone, laptop and much more. And to top it all off, I have life--life is exciting; sometimes its hard, sometimes it's exhilarating, and sometimes it's frustrating -- but we have it and through it we learn, experience, sense, so many things.

Thank you, God, for life

So Cool

Rather slow on my side, but I've finally discovered how to avoid using a ghetto proxy server to post entries. A million thanks to my good friend and biggest blog fan for the suggestion!

Now to test out my picture posting functionality:


This week I attended a TV sponsored event where CNBC awarded various business leaders in China. I saw executives from the likes of Ajisen's CEO, Spring Airline's CEO, and others that I don't clearly recall. It was a flashy event at a five star hotel with a decent buffet-style dinner. 

I could end here but I don't like to post entries that aren't meaningful and without some sort of inspiration. So, I guess if anything that I got from the event other than a full stomach was some inspiration from the one woman awardee, given the largest achievement of business leader of the year award. She mentioned being stubborn, but her example wasn't that of stubbornness, it was strength of character and ethics. With her good business sense she was firm enough to refuse business from companies offering generous kickbacks (aka bribes), when others were pleading with her to do otherwise. I commend her.
