Bu...Yun Yi, I think you are a very talented artist. But I understand, and agree, that art needs to be something you do for the pleasure of doing it, it can’t be forced. Yes, life is short and we should spend it happy. A cup of tea in one hand, and a book in another, sounds perfect to me! I’m reminded of the line in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, “To thine own self be true.” And that is exactly what you are JerseyLilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381518701383106141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3343295804928403795.post-60399439294989664532013-10-12T09:11:11.985-04:002013-10-12T09:11:11.985-04:00Sometimes other people will look at us or what we ...Sometimes other people will look at us or what we are doing as a career and decide to tell us what they think or believe we should be doing. As an encouragement, it's good because they may see potential that we've not recognised within ourselves and it may put us on a completely new path in life but when they begin to try and force you to do it their way, then you have to take a stance Rum-Punch Drunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13531893705181077869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3343295804928403795.post-76969978465261275872013-10-11T23:35:00.786-04:002013-10-11T23:35:00.786-04:00Yun, Hi :)

Sometimes one has to keep doing the same soulless job for the sake of one's life, or more than that, for the sake of one's family.
