The best things in life?

Well, instead of the fact that I’m freaking busy, my mind is still able to reserve a part of it (a big one) for you. Hmm, I think I have to write something down here before I can get back to what I was doing. You are addictive, you know? *sigh* Okie, let’s write a list of good things in life. They are good but as I haven’t died yet, I can’t know if they are the best! Oops, talking and thinking negatively too much these days, I have to stop this habit soon!

Being free with someone you love. It’s not necessary that we have to do anything. We don’t have to go to the cinema and watch a blockbuster. We don’t have to go to a cafeteria and order some cool drinks. We don’t even have to think where we should go. Staying at home, moving the couch, sitting comfortably, having home-made-but-supermarket-bought popcorn and watching a famous 90s movie aren’t great? Drinking self-served water, having instant noodle with wasabi-ed beef and washing dishes in the morning aren’t great? And what’s about taking a bus straight to hometown or just visiting aunt and cousins? They are more than great. Being free, being cared, being you. It does not matter where you go or what you do, the crucial point is whom you are with.

Family gathering. Most of the time, I didn’t realize this but I do now. Family is always the place where you can find love and coziness. The big family or your little one, they both work the same way.

Doing things with passions. It’s obvious, isn’t it? No matter the thing is good or bad, doing it with passion will be a good feeling. I suddenly think about the robbers, they steal things from others, take things which are not theirs but some of them are so great. Remember the series Ocean (11, 12 and 13)? Those robbers make plans and execute them brilliantly, the police want to catch them but they also pay lots of respects to the robbers. On the other hands, take Apple as an example, Apple’s employees believe in their works  so much that they kept using strong words like “incredible”, “amazing” and “awesome” to describe their products (hmm, maybe it’s a presentation strategy but my favorite tech blog – TechCrunch – has an interesting post about it titled “The Importance Of Enthusiasm In Any Product”). Personally, I feel like I’m more productive when I do stuffs that I’m interested in. Maybe that’s the reason Google’s employees have their famous “20 percent time” projects (which encourages people to use 20% of their working hours to develop their own ideas, of course, the result product will be owned by Google. There are some great products become live from those products, my favorite Gmail is an example)

Going to sleep when you feel sleepy. Hmm, sleeping is a self-recovery process but sometimes we just can’t do it properly. Well, I’m staying up late right now for example. There were times when I thought that being able/having opportunities to stay up late is some kind of… honors! *sigh* No, definitely not. It’s doing things without plan or in short: doing things stupidly! End of discussion.

Err, I’m thinking about the next good thing and nothing else jumps out except her. Bet that I won’t be able to find any other thing today! Gotta move on. Cya soon *hug*
