Life is about exploring

    记得自己的硕士论文里就探讨过生活的多种可能性及其美好。探索和思索各种可能性,虽让人痛苦,却也是生活的意义之所在。

I once talked about the possibilities of life as well as the beauty of possibilities in my master's thesis. Though it is painful during the process of exploring and pondering about possibilities, it's where the life's meaning lies.

    不同的人、不同的思想与生活,构成了多彩的世界,如何成为一抹独特的色彩?

Different people, thoughts and living modes constitute the colorful world. Then how can one become a special colour in it?

    还是要多走、多听、多看、多交流。这样,才能开阔眼界,认识到世界的广阔以及自己作为独立个体的人类共通性,进而完善对人和事的看法。

The only way is through more travelling and communication. And only in this way can one man broaden his horizon and realize the vastness of the world and the similarity of individuality, and then perfect his thinking about people and things.

    在美国呆了一周,除了想念中国的食物,其它尚好。治安没有之前担心的那么混乱,而且老美都礼貌守序,也懂得享受生活,不似国人这般有压力。

Last week I stayed in America and adapted everything except its food. In my opinion, public order in USA is not so chaotic as I thought before, and most people there are polite and lawful. Besides, they know how to enjoy life while most Chinese people burden heavier pressure especially in big cities. 

    与一位美国朋友交流下来:美国作为一个机遇之地,让个人变坏和变好的可能性都都达到极致。公平的环境,通过个人努力,很容易实现财富的积累。但是,宽松的环境加上缺乏自控力,也很容易导致个人的败落。这就要求人们的行为背后有一种强有力理念和信仰的支撑,大部分理念和信仰来自家庭,而老美的家庭观念却在日益淡化,他们对此也很担忧。

I exchanged ideas with one American friend: USA is a land full of opportunities, so the possibility for individual to get better or worse goes to the extreme. Fair environment plus personal efforts, it's easier for one to accumulate wealth. While on the other hand, loose atmosphere plus lack of self-control, it's easier for one to decline,too. Consequently, there must be a powerful support in the idea or belief to prop up people's life and usually the support comes from family. But the reality is that family concept in USA is gradually weakening today, which also arouses my friend's worries. 

    在美国的一周,从佛罗里达州的西海岸到东海岸,一直在路上,行程安排的满满。萨拉索塔的白沙滩、海上赏日落、皮划艇、奥兰多的冒险岛之旅、以及圣奥古斯汀—这座美国最古老的城市之旅,在这里见识到了灯塔文化、西班牙殖民地时海上防卫城堡、古老的博馆物和藏品以及老城中心的小店铺等,也碰到了很多热情友好的当地居民。果然,古老的城市都散发着独特的韵味,魅力十足。

Last week I had a tight travelling schedule from Florida western to eastern coast and I was always on the road. Sarasota's white sand beach, sunset on the sea, kayaking, Island of Adventure in Orlando, as well as St. Augustine, the oldest city of the nation. In St. Augustine I got to know the light tower culture, defense castle on the sea in Spanish colonial period, ancient museum and its collections, as well as downtown shops. During the traveling I also met many nice and enthusiatic local people. Just as one expected, ancient city always gives off its unique charm.

    这趟短暂的美国之旅不虚此行,激发了我更多探索的欲望。有些事情确实要亲自经历,才能体验得到。

This was indeed a rewarding American trip since it motivated my exploring lust. And indeed, for many things one must experience them in person to get the essence.

    生活就是不断的探索,我将继续前行。

Life is about incessant exploring and I will keep moving forward on the road.
