What makes us setback is not falling down, but never daring to stand back up and run forward.

Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has been serious, and so, the government has implemented the Movement Control Order.

最近疫情严重，政府实施行动管制令。

Working from home gives me more time for self-improvement.

在家办公，让我有较多的时间自我提升。

After I read Xu Zhu’s book, I have been thinking about life.

看完了这本书，我一直都在思考人生。

Once, I was also a little girl with countless dreams and determined to be a newscaster/ host.

曾经，我也是那个有着无数梦想，立志当一名新闻主播/主持人的小女孩。

Today, I am a small executive in a listed company.

如今，我却是某上市企业公司里的小文职。

I’ve been thinking, if my career is related to my profession (PR/Journalism), what would my life be like today?

我一直都在思考，如果我的职业是与我的专业（公关/新闻）有关的，那我今天的生活会是怎样的呢？

My work makes me confused. I don’t know what my profession was. I forget the design skills and software I learn last time.

如今的文职工作，让我迷茫，不晓得自己的专业是什么，忘了自己所会的设计软件/技巧。

I only know that my daily working routine is documentation, meeting minutes, document translation, etc. (At least translation is still my profession).

只知道自己每天做的，都是文件归类、会议记录、文件翻译等等。（至少文件翻译还属于我的专业）。

However, how can I move forward without the motivation and enthusiasm for this career?

但，失去了对这份工作的热忱，怎么前进？

There are more people have the same situation as me in this world.

无可否认，世界上像我一样的人，多的是。

Plain life makes our passion for certain things and interests sink.

平淡的生活，让我们对某些事情、兴趣的热情沉沦。

When we look back, we might find that our lives are the same as others, it’s just we can’t be ourselves.

回过头看，才发现一路走来的生活和别人一样，可却做不了自己。

“You don’t need to make up your mind if you want to live a life that is unwilling to be ordinary. You just need a small action and more courage to change.”

“想要不甘平淡的人生，不需要下定决心，只要一个微小的行动，多些勇气，就足以改变。”

It’s Xu Zhu’s words that remind me, it is the time to start running forward and pursue the people and things we want.

就是徐竹的这番话，提醒了自己，是时候开始向前奔跑，追求自己想要的人、事、物。

After thinking, if you want to have a new start, it can’t be only thinking or verbal.

思考归思考，想要求新职，那可不能是脑袋想，嘴巴说的。

It’s time to work hard and ACTION!

这必须得靠努力，行动！

So, I continue to write articles, post on my WIX blog, after 2 years.

于是，我开始继续写文章，发布到部落格（WIX）。

I started to build and manage my Linkedin account, build more connections with professional and wonderful people around the world.

开始好好建立自己的领英平台（LinkedIn），连接更多专业人士。

I learn a new skill daily (Photoshop, Illustrator, Thai language, Japanese, Bullet Journal, etc.)

每天都让自己学习一些新知识（PS与AI设计、泰语、日语、手账等）。

Sometimes, I do share my little knowledge on WIX.

有时候还分享到部落格里。

“Only through the sadness and setbacks, your suffering, your tears and your efforts will bring you a bright future.”

“历经挫折的锤炼，你受的苦，流的泪，淌的汗，才能照亮未来的路。”

I hope that the quote of Xu Zhu will encourage you.

Remember: What makes you setback is not falling, but never daring to run forward!

希望能够引用徐竹的这番话，鼓励大家，令人挫折的不是跌倒，而是从来不敢向前奔跑。

Thank you. 谢谢。Terima Kasih. Gracias. ขอบคุณค่ะ 감사합니다 ありがとうございました
