Tired and tired
Life is hard now, for my trying to do two things at the same time, both are difficult tasks. My Benming Nian didn’t bring any luck to my work yet, no experiment works, I am almost out of patience, wola…there are many reasons, but lack of studies may be most important. I am also preparing the exam for step 1, for which I still spent little time on it. I’m not young enough to manage two things well at the same time, but I will not give up either, for no pain no gain.
Just talked to Dian Dian about the working life, sometimes it’s so difficult to overcome obstacles like climbing a mountains, thinking of giving up for the peaks….but I never gave up any peak I climbed before, why should I now? Be stronger, remember King Arthur’s story, in which he saw a spider repeat to weave its net for seven times after it was broken by the wind for seven times.
I feel better now for I am with you, and we encourage each other whenever we are weak or lost; we can overcome many obstacles. Though life is hard sometimes, it’s also entertainment, with happiness and good memories and dreams….
If we spend lots of time on work, there is little left for leisure, for literature, for poets, for movies….and only with you do I remember to pull myself out of the deep water to have a fresh breath, enjoy some culture and philosophy, most important to write some notes for little red flowers….how many?
Une rose seule, c’est toutes les roses
一朵玫瑰，就是所有的玫瑰
与她自身：不可替代的
完美，这甜蜜的词汇
被事物本身所包围。
没有她永不知如何说
我们的希望又为何物，
而那些温柔的间断，
在持续的出发程途。
何家炜译里尔克诗
Une rose seule, c’est toutes les roses
et celle-ci: l’irremplaçable,
le parfait, le souple vocable
encadré par le texte des choses.
Comment jamais dire sans elle
ce que furent nos espérances,
et les tendres intermittences,
dans la partance continuelle.
