It is late at night, i pick up the “Stray Birds” and started to read. Beautiful thoughts and words floats among the lines. When i see “the bird wishes it were a cloud,the cloud wish it was a bird”, i feel i should write something.
People say that the best thing comes when you least expect it.
We often do not know what will happen when we start someting. But so long as we have the never ending passion, or maybe blindly passion in what we are doing, we can infuence people as well as our body to work for us to achieve our goal.
I donot want to say i wish i were a cloud, i am what i am now, and my best action is to extend the Now state to its best level—
Love like I never love before, live like i can never live again.

These days I have been thinking about taking website design as something i can pursue in the future.
Last month I received four request asking me to build a website. One was an American software company, the manager himself can construct websites, but he does not have much time to go through the design and coding.
As the economic crisis takes affect, a lot of companies are under pressure. Outsourcing work would be essential, so the companies can focus on the their main products and service.
Talking about the economy, i subscribed to articles from The New York Times News, Google Alert and Glorbal Resources. A lot of them are about American politics, financial turmoil, how to spend less and how to keep a company running under depression,etc.
The media creates a lot of panic. As a student myself, i’ve saw so many students signed contract with companies without even a second thought. Teachers are telling us, donot expect much and try every way to get the company sign us.I even started to worry and feel depressed. I remember recently i went to the university hospital to check my eyes, even the doctors concern about my job hunting more than I do .
But do I really need to rush to find a job now? What really matters? To find a confortzone to stay or find something i really love to do? It is not like that i can find something fits me if I try. Of course it also depends on chance. But wouldnot i feel less regret if in the near future i can at least tell myself,”I TRIED”.
I’ve asked a few people how they are doing during these financial crisis, most of them told me that they are not affected or their business is actually growing up. Some say their product is very technology-related so the product will not disappear from the market but prosper. Some say their service is very competitive and they have loyal clients.
As Gary Vaynerchuk has put in his NYC Street Keynote Speech “Hustle, next 24 months are the biggest opportunity for social media”, I believe that is not only for social media, but for many other people who has something special to offer.
Special, means we have to be different to survive. Take special thinking, extra effort or additional skill… whatever that no one else can copy or cannot copy in time.
We can never be sure what we have now will last forever. The only thing that nobody can take away from us is our brain.

I was thinking about create some special showcase website,like a designer’s showcase for long , then today i came across Craig Shields’ website. I think it is teffific, exactly the same effect as i wanted, imaginative yet doesnot need much server side support. Those special effects can be achived by using Jquery or some other ajax framework.
Anyway, i am pretty happy with what i am learning everyday, not much, but i am keeping on moving forward. As Steven Snell has mentioned in his article 10 steps to improve your photoshop skills
,”Start with the Fundamentals”, so i’ll just keep on learn and practice.
