[Remember dear, happy or not happy, it just a matter of how you behave yourself in life. Don't be too ignorant. Always think and act positively and everything will be fine. Don't judge people based on your intuition. If you wanna help them, showing them a concern is the only way to find the love. - 5 Jun 2005]
记住,快不快乐,都在於你如何应付自己。不能单靠直觉,行动最实际,但要谨慎。如果想给予帮助,关怀才是最好的良方。
