Today has been very busy. I was trying to catch up on school. The shuttling between HKS and MIT has been time consuming, not to mention that I am taking six classes this semester.
I figured that my self-imposed break is more than half way through. The 2 years I plan to take off have only slightly less than 1 left. So I told myself that I am going to enjoy the remaining 8 months to the max. Because once I am done, I am probably done with formal education and I will be reentering the workforce. Life will then move at a pace determined by the routines of my career.
Anyway, enough of forward projection for now. I just read my buddy's blog, HH. One thing that caught my eyes was his entry on JK Rowling's speech. I completely missed that since I was in SF during that time hanging out with another buddy of mine, Ah Bao. Man ... that was June. Now is end of September. Summer ended about a week or two ago. Fall is here and the weather starts to get cranky.
Rowling's speech was a bit dry for me since I am very used to the American fast pace, humor laced kind of speech. But still, there are parts which I truly enjoy. And the every best is no doubt the quotes from Seneca:
As is a tale, so is life; not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
It gives me a very rustic, soft and touching feeling. I close my eyes and see myself standing in a middle of a grass field, with falling maple leaves of orange, red, brown, yellow and green colors - the kind of scene you will find in New England during the fall season. This makes me treasure every best moments of my life.
This fall, I am going to take some time and explore the region, catching up what I am been missing over the past year.
So I see, the past of me;
treasured moments, memorable times;
never forget what lies ahead;
in life we live, with no regrets
