I Keep a Gratitude Journal

I wish one day I could find and do the job I like. I wish I could manage my time better so that I don't work overtime. I wish I had better discipline to stop working when office hours end, without worrying not able to finish next day. I wish I had a clearer mind before I speak and work, so that I don't say and do nonsense wasting effort.

@novembermoon when I went to travel in end Oct in a less developed place in our continent, a friend asked, "have you ever thought about what you would become if you were born and grew up here?" Looking around, laid-back people sitting outside the shops, waiting for customers that may not come. I replied, "I cannot imagine living here, sitting for a whole day doing nothing every day." I realized I'd prefer living in my city.

It is challenging to live in our home city/country. There are not many choices in the side of the world where we live and things happen here are so extreme. But I m grateful that I m in the better part of it.

@Sssslm agree with you. Many countries in Southeast Asia are not as developed economically. I see that it has a lot to do with the culture of the people. The Chinese people are one of a kind. We work and work until we don't know when to stop. It's a strength and a weakness at the same time.
