After endless rounds of financial spreadsheet modeling, and emotional debates of what 'enough' means to me for my life, here I am, with a crystal clear answer in my head. I will say goodbye to the corporate world and live next phase of my life knowing what I want. Travel and live a flexible, frugal, relationship rich life in this beaut...

Clear writing comes from clear thinking; think what you are trying to say first, then write what your idea in the most concise manner. Unless it's an opinion column, do not judge, write fact,. If data says A city has a higher birth rate than B city, say it; not include your understanding of why, unless that is widely accepted fact. I r...

This idea of catching the full pie budget strategy might be named as something else, but I fell in love with it after I personally adopted it for a while. Simply put, it’s a strategy to budget every single of your hard earned dollar, including pre-tax, pre-withhold gross income dollars. It makes perfect sense to me to budget gross inco...

It’s as easy as register an instagram account! Now time to start build the compound effect of my own business! I am very excited! Jing Climate change is real, Gender gap does exist, Everyone has one life :)

If you have similar challenges like I do: struggle to sit in front a computer from time to time and work. I have tried to analyze why It's because I setup some expectations for myself that I have to do X to be able to showcase of how good I am. That is fundamentally wrong. Eventually what I value the most is what impact I left for this...

From time to time, I will get involved in some sensitive but important topics. Like human rights, press freedom, diversity, or even war, it's so hard nowadays to live without any of those topics in your daily life. Are they important, yes they are. Shall I do sth about it? Hmmm, maybe. Depends on my value and how much energy I have. Th...

I have been working for 10 years non-stop. Recent years, I have been thinking about taking a break, spend time to entertain myself, not coworkers, family, friends, or this world. My body starts reminding me of that too, my back, neck constant hurt, long term work from home lead to low vitamin D, my bones are not as strong as before rec...

Last before I start my new job tmr in a new team. Over 10 years, I have changed many teams/jobs, this time I am not as excited as all previous times. Work for me is becoming a mandatory piece of my life to give me energy, and I really want myself to keep a little bit distance and observe what I am doing this time. The more I am expecti...

What will you do when you feel down? - Talk it out to friends, partner, colleagues? - Get guidance from mentors? - Exercise? - Clean the house? - Take a step back and write down your goals, give yourself some motivation? - Travel? - Game/TV, shut down your brain - Make new plans? - Search online on what would other people do? What do y...

I often hear this sentence, and years ago I read about this article says how people use it to sound smart. Unfortunately I was not able to grab and use it smoothly as many people do, because I feel weird to do sth I do not feel right... If I do not have a point to make, by taking that step back why I want to pretend I know? Until recen...

"I am busy" is often considered as "he is having a meaningful life", at least in their own mind this is the trick. People are used to say: I have so much to do, I need to finish this and that before I go home It's not a good state of mind. I would say, you should take a step back and think about if that busy is bringing you joy. I foun...

“公路自驾的第九天，停留的第四个城市加利福尼亚州Arcata，行驶里程1160英里” 我定义的成熟，是在努力尝试过做别人后，知道如何更好的做自己！ 工作至六点钟，出来放风，想到Misha昨天提到市中心广场，坐在车里看天慢慢暗下来 住在酒店真的和在西雅图的家里没什么分别，一整天都是泡在邮件和电话会议里，不踏出房门感觉世界小的可怜，踏出房门的那一刻又觉得无处安放自己。 我是孤独的，不去刻意应附别人的人生观 我是富有的，不再需要期待别人给予我什么 我是天真的，执着的相信这个世界有方圆亦无方圆 沧海一粒沙 策马江湖浪天涯 痴梦如归 红尘一度繁华 成熟的反义词不是幼稚 成熟的反义词是无知 生命的意义不是意义本身 生命的光来自行动 Jing Travel, Read, Think

早起醒来后，瘫在床上在想 突然脑海里冒出来这个想法，我想做的事是去帮助更多的女性去认识到自己有很多选择，可以去看这个世界，可以认识到生命的厚度是在于积累更多的经历，培养深入的兴趣爱好 可以是在柴米油盐老公婆婆孩子之间也可以找到更优秀个勇敢的自己 原本一直在想可以做社区咖啡，可以组织读书和旅行活动，可以做线下聚会，讲座，也创造一个空间给大家当空思考 如果从书店开始做起，其实有了支柱，它的灵魂是不仅通过和别人和自己交流，也可以跨越时间和空间和很多优秀的灵魂一起交流 可以组织电影活动，让很多优秀的电影可以接触到更多的身边人 书店可以有很多的书友撰写评语 做非常持久环保的书店社区 书也会主要集中在旅行，思考，自传，和平等，文化，历史，健康成长，集中在自我持续成长 做很棒的客...

最近尝试发现邮件沟通比即时通讯软件里的问候更有趣，欢迎你尝试写信给我jing@hey.com 比如我每个月和卢森堡的好友聊天，感觉每次都是在写论文。因为时差，每次都是各自洋洋洒洒好几百字，有引题综述论据，生活状态，最近感想，时事评论，偶尔加八卦…… 旧时候我们写信，因为篇幅有限，单向沟通，我们会花时间精力去考量用字，传达思想情感，如今沟通是表情包，动图或者语音，并不会考虑单条内容的深度，大不了多发几次就好。沟通软件的功能是即时，很容易被其他软件或事件转移注意力 自从我换了邮件服务到hey.com 完全远离了邮件广告，邮件追踪，邮箱成了我每天最期待的阅读渠道和沟通方式 喜欢静下心来读一封别人用心写的邮件或者博文 不用考虑马上回复，甚至可以不回 等到觉得我也有故事要分享...

I found this is a great exercise to do when you feel down, when you feel you are worthless, and you cannot establish your value in your community. When you are loosing your confidence Reach out to people you can trust, not need to be great friends, ask them what 3 words they will use to describe you. You will reconganize how people vie...

这个月是国家妇女历史月，还是有些感触分享几句 和男朋友观看女性题材的电影，探索一些女性创业产品，和他家里三代女性一起聊妇女节，了解俄罗斯美国和中国如何对待妇女节 简单的生活里，平等的爱别人和平等的被爱并没有那么简单，见到很多女性在社会关系和工作环境中普遍缺乏自信 我自己常常想 我不需要被特别关怀，不想被标签应该怎样，更不想因为我是女性而被特别对待以达指标，我只需要平等的被聆听，平等的被不挂性别标签的对待 当我收到一路激励我成长的女性从欧洲给我发来消息，希望我可以继续以我的方式激励她和别人 看到我Ins上面这几年认识的世界各地的女性在通过她们的方式来带动多一点的性别平等的认知 收到几位亚麻科技女性简单的“妇女节快乐，感谢一路陪伴走来”的问候 换做几年前 我会认为这些并...

I was so excited when I saw this new feature from Hey! It's 2021, when people want to write a blog, you need to decide which platform to pick, or build your own website to write. Before this, I was using write.as plus a paid domain to support my own website. Pain to maintain, and quite expensive. Honestly, I just want to have a simple ...
