Regardless how awesome you are, share the joy with other about who you are and what you do! You never know that by sharing those, you may inspire someone. For your inspiration this weekend, I’d like to share a TED video by a National Geographic war photographer, James Nachtwey.

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”.

PS: this game made me addicted to keep playing it despite after few meters I have slipped into a pit […]
