“Change is not merely necessary to life - it is life.”― Alvin Toffler
Hi, I'm Ruoxiang Chau
There is no greater gift you can give to yourself or the world than really, truly being yourself.
“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. ”― Alvin Toffler
"If I can say, “I love you,” I say, “I love in you all of humanity, all that is alive; I love in you also myself.” Self-love, in this sense, is the opposite of selfishness. The latter is actually a greedy concern with oneself which springs from and compensates for the lack of genuine love for oneself. Love, paradoxically, makes me more independent because it makes me stronger and happier — yet it makes me one with the loved person to the extent that individuality seems to be extinguished for the moment. In loving I experience “I am you,” you — the loved person, you — the stranger, you — everything alive. In the experience of love lies the only answer to being human, lies sanity."-Erich Fromm, The Sane Society.
"By sharing their stories with the audience, storytellers aren't just creating meaning for themselves - they're helping others to do so, too. "And that's why storytelling is so important," continued Crabb. "I think some people think it's all about talking about you, you, you. But what it really is is reaching out into the void and connecting with people and letting them know they're not alone.""- Emily Esfahani Smith on Storytelling, The Power of Meaning
- Emily Esfahani Smith"Not all of us will find our calling. But that doesn't mean we can't find purpose. (...) No matter what occupies our days, when we reframe our tasks as opportunities to help others, our lives and our work feel more significant. Each of us has a circle of people - in our families, in our communities, and at work - whose lives we can improve. That's a legacy everyone can leave behind."
"Being a Parisian is not about being born in Paris, it is about being reborn there."- Sacha Guitry
