To be honest with ourselves

I remember clearly that on one fine day, while I was working on my website project, one of my flatmate entered my room and asked me, “How can you build a website?” Looking at her while my hands were typing some HTML code, and replied “Why not?” Let me share you my story.

Remember why you are here

Recently I listened to a design talk, one of the speaker begins her presentation with a slide titled, “Remember why you are here”. And following that title, there is a sentence, “I started this field because I’m passionate about [blanks]” This brought my memory back to a book I read in the past, a self help book on to find joy about your work.

Some of the tips like ask a guest blogger, dig out your past draft post or revisit some old topics then link it with the new post maybe write it with perspective. Truth to be told, I tried those, yet the inspiration […]
