Vision

Vision, it could be physically watching with eyes, as well as sensing the outer world with the inner mind.

I've stopped blogging for couple days, it helped me to calm down and meditate. I've been busy traveling around the globe. It's a pleasure to sense an inner touching of my heart today. I told myself that I will write it down on the blog when I went home, and share it with everyone of you who is reading this article...

There is always sometime that we need to make a choice when we encounter an intersection of our career. During this time, we look forward into the fascinating future. At the same time, we anxiously hesitate, while emotionally being so complicated. Especially, when it is very hard to find an everlasting friend around. One need to give up something, in order to enlighten oneself possibly, and thus, to acquire more maturity.

A lot of time, we do not need to talk that much, as long as other people understand what we mean. Speaking too much, it is just wasting our life and killing time. That is why Chinese people says, "More talking, more losing." It's better not to do so. However, while not talking too much, we need to express ourselves clearly. This helps to reduce misunderstandings. Moreover, if we hold back and do not address the key point totally, it is every easy to accumulate emotional stress mentally, and that is no good to the health afterwards. In conclusion, the philosophy of speaking¹ less or more might only be understandable, but couldn't be told. After we experienced and learned an unfavorable lesson from something, if we confront a similar situation again, the human nature will tell us how to handle!

I've already on my thirty something years. Though I walk on the path of my life following the flow, I'm still floating on my luck. A stranger can only tell my appearance, while a closed friend recognizes what I have been doing. It's so true that a confidant is not easy to meet in our life. Tonight, I had a wonderful conversation with my friend. He asked me a critical question, which touched deeply inside my heart. He helped me to really SEE something that I have never thought about, while indeed I realized something, a desired future hidden behind the inmost subconscious...

A man can die for a confidant. Noble men support each other. It may just like Mr. Yasuyoshi Tokuma to the popular Japanese animation director Mr. Hayao Miyazaki in the modern history².

Thank you, dear my friend, Mr. D.T.¶

1. This article might a little bit none sense in English. I feel that the native English speaker would ask why "vision" can relate to the "philosophy of speaking" in any sense. In the original Chinese, it is a kind of "emotional expressing" essay. In this kind of essay, the writer just write down how he feels about something. If you read this article a couple times carefully, you might be able to figure out the relation in between. I mentioned at the end that my friend is able to point out something which I did not aware. If we can not communicate to each other, my friend would not be able to point out that critical point. That is why I said, "we do not need to talk that much, as long as other people understand what we mean."

2. In the original Chinese text, the example I used are people in the Chinese history. If you are not a Chinese, it must be hard for you to imagine what is addressed here. Therefore, in the English translation, I found the story between Mr. Yasuyoshi Tokuma and Mr. Hayao Miyazaki. Because Tokuma's help, Miyazaki is possible to have his film glow around the world, such as the latest "Howl's Moving Castle" or the earlier "Princess Mononoke."
