Today's Brew

This year 2005 is not a good year to me. I failed a lot of things which I had really hoped for so much. I failed two out of four subjects in semester 2 during the first year of my part time study at NTU. My biggest plan to study in the US was scrapped due to my visa application was denied.

Some people might think that I’m crazy about USA. But for me is that I have always wanted to try my best in everything. I strongly want to achieve success in life rather than failure. In here, I want to share the saying of Jack London that I always keep in my heart.

“I’d rather be ashes than dust. I’d rather have my spark burn out in a brilliant blaze than be stifled by dry rot. I’d rather be a superb meteor, every atom of mine in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and perseverant planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.”
