After you blog for a while, what you blog about either ceases to be relevant or ceases to provide new and entertaining material. Or perhaps inspiration. In any case, Taiwan Tiger has, as of late, been lax in posting. New and busier times--a marriage, expanding workload, graduate school--have really made things difficult. There is also the material. I started this blog to keep my friends and family updated on my life in Taiwan, and as a way to describe the new and strange things I saw and situations I found myself in.
This was 5 and a half years ago. So much of what I have described here is no longer new to me. I have decided that it is time for a change.
One of my (numerous) character flaws is taking things too seriously. Without going into detail, let's just say: I get angry easily. No, I have no rage management issues, nothing like that. I just could be happier and enjoy life more by focusing on more positive things. I know one of the things I found necessary when I moved here was to develop a sense of Teflon. Everything just slides off. That little old lady at the bank with her elbow in my ribs as she pushes to the window for a stamp? Let it go, Tiger. That blue truck driving the wrong way during rush hour, forcing me to swerve or become a hood ornament? Serenity now, Tiger!
So that is what I propose. Recently, I have been working with my classes on humor and culture, so I have been reading funny things and looking at funny comics and pictures. Laughing, as we all know, feels good. This project I hereby embark upon is to attempt to write in a more humorous vein, focusing not on my own frustration but learning (or forcing myself) to recast situations in a lighter essence. I don't know how long it will take to retrain my self to see things differently, but life is too short not to smile more.
Sorry, no funny punchline ending. I got up at 6:30 Sunday morning to take a train to my E-commerce course. Nothing funny to see here, folks. Keep moving.
where r u taking the ecommerce course ?
