In order to open your mouth, you have to open your heart first.

I am not good at writing, especially with my distinct view on things. Chinese students have learnt to accept things very well, but they do not nurture a critical mind in them. Sadly, i am one of them. For a very long time, I do not even have a voice, I have remain silent to whatever phemomemon. I cannot say I am happy about that.

then i ask myself, " what can i do to make myself heard?"

My answer to the question is this: one has to open his heart first, then he will feel things in a unique way, and then he can form an opinion of his own. So the essential thing is you have to be yourself first, and your thoughts collide with that of authors of whose books you read, eventually, you will develop something yours.

This is what happened when I read MOMENT IN PEKING. When I read along, i couldn't help follow the author's idear, and i applaud Taosism adopted by Mulan. I immediately thought I should adopt Taosism, and then my life will be much happier and easier.  I have received all the message the writer want to convey and then what? and then nothing. I accept completely like i accept ideas from parents and teachers. I never question. this happened when I read other books.

Because i am determined to have a voice of my own and I was encouraged to write something often, i write this as a start and to remind me to write along. I am going to tune my mindset to a right channel to recieve from the inner heart and to utter my feeling, step by step, though.
