穷则独善其身，达则兼济天下。

In other worlds: if I remain in a small position, I will do little things to help the planet, by recycling and not consuming much, etc; if I become financially independent or reach an important position, I can do bigger philanthropic things.

never lose my cool

Untitled 12 months ago

Barak Obama should be my role model who is ambitious, passionate and yet never loses his cool.

Always believe that “this one too shall pass.”

Never lose my cool in front of my kids. When they are fussy, just look into their eyes calmly.

Never lose my cool when the stock market and my investment plummet.

Never lose my cool when there is personal misunderstanding.
