An Act of Kindness in the Barber's

My late father in his autobiography mentioned that he told the hairdressers in the barber's that they were doing something good for people. Here is his philosophy: Everyone looks better and cleaner after leaving the barber's, feeling happy. Isn't making others happy an act of kindness?

"In your life, you've got to have a dream and always feel its realization.  Then one day your dream will come true."

Habit Is Second Nature

All creatures are the slaves of habits.

This Monday noon, when I got to the restaurant where some of my NHSH colleagues and I would have a gathering, I waited at the door for it to open automatically.

Benefits of Fruits

Recently, I've spent a lot of time visiting my father in hospital in Tainan.  Looking around at the sick people, I recalled words from a high school principal, Ms. Chou (周麗玉校長).  She once said that when we are young, we have to think about what kind of life we would like to lead in old age and live a lifestyle leading to it.
