Beginning

I was stuck in some kind of relationship, feeling like standing in the mid of an enormous desert without water. In the end, I even do not know anymore whether I like him or not. But it is still painful. Pain is not love. 

Travel helps me to get out of the confusion, although it does not solve the puzzle itself. Physically, I travelled to Chile and Brazil, saw beautiful landscape and met friendly people. Mentally, I start my travel with learning new things and reading books. 

I decided to learn cello. I found out a teacher online. He recommended me a shop to rent a cello which is affordable. I am so lucky! 

I began to create a book list for me. No ambitious goal, only 9 books for 1Q 2025. 

1. Sapiens - A brief history of Human Kind 

2. Homo Deus - A brief history of Tomorrow 

3. The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers

4. Der Zauberberg 

5. History of Latin America - Captivating History

6. The Innovator's Dilemma  

7. The Thinking Machine

8. Guns, Germs and Steel

9. Blood and Honey - A Journey through the Balkans

I registered for three new classes as hobby.

1. A History of Philosophy

2. Politics and Current Situations about Latin America 

3. Tiffany Glass Workshop

I solved the 3x3 cubic. I did not know how to do it before the new year.

I want to improve my skills to play chess. It is not motivated by him. I know how to play chess, but I am not skillful. Years ago, one of my Managing Directors was very good at chess. He also studied chess along the way to business trip. At that time, I wanted to improve chess, then I was too busy to invest time in it.

I want to improve my skills to play tennis, billiard and bowling. It comes next.

I will move to the US. I want a dynamic environment to embrace new opportunities, challenges and growth.

Feeling stuck is terrible, no matter by love, career or anything else. The only thing can help accelerate the healing process is to learn new things. I feel trapped because I do not have enough knowledge, capability or perspective to get out of this. Therefore, learning is the only choice, for the new year.
