Today is New Year's Day of 2018, so it shoud be a great chance to start a new post of this column.
In the past, I was somewhat pessimistic about the future and always doubted that whether my perservance can get me somewhere.
Now I know even there is no short-term rewards, in the long run, there must be something great happening in the future if I can do the right things in the right ways.
Ok, just keep moving forward, but be sure to make these exercises useful and meaningful.

January 01st, 2018 Week 01st Monday
Life's like a movie, write your own. Keep believing, keep pretending.
人生如同电影，书写自己的结局。持续相信，继续演出。
Sometimes a movie with a dreary opening may turn out to be quite creditable in its middle part and have a happy ending which will be very memorable.
Though I used to be very pessimistic about the future, of course I know that all resulted from the completely lack of confidence in myself and my own life, all resulted from my dissatisfication about my current state, if thinking in a different way, I mean, optimistic way, those dissatisfcation can serve as a good way to propel me into making continuous efforts to enhance my capabilities and improve my skills.
It is not too bad, is it?
Just keep believing that there must be some breakthroughs if we can work determinedly for our cause.
Just keep pretending, once we make it realied in the real life, it wouldn't be a daydream.
Every time you tear a leaf off a calendar, you present a new place for new ideas.
每撕下一页日历，你就又有了地方装新想法。
From Charles Kettering.
Whatever you had experienced in the past day, whatever you had written down on the leaf that is about to be torn off, they would be things of the past.
Don't be immersed in the past achievements, and don't be lost in the past mistakes.
Today is a good chance to start a new journey, and implement some new ideas.

January 02nd, 2018 Week 01st Tuesday
I dream my painting, and then I paint my dream.
我梦见我的画，然后我画我的梦。
It was a long time after I had a good dream the last time.
I dreamed I was the lucky one who won the lottery, a lot of money.
I dreamed I was capable of dealing with everything well.
That were my dreams and that are the very things I want now.
It seems I should earn what I want through my own dedications, don't figure on those things out of my control.
When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all.
玩耍请尽兴，工作勿儿戏。
From Theodore Roosevelt.
Today I tried to compile the ROS-Kinetic for Raspberry Pi 3b with Raspbian.
And I set a deadline for this job, that was today.
Following the instructions in the tutorials, the preparation for the compilation went quite smoothly, despite several trivial revisions to the tutorials according to the environment of my operating system.
And the biggest problem I encountered during the pre-compilation was to download the package of opencv3 from the address provided by the install-script.
Actually it may be not a problem if there was no firewall in my network.
However, during the compilation, I found it was very slow due to the hardwares in the platform.
The computing power and the memory were not enough to process such big program.
When the compiler built opencv3, it seemed the memory was exhausted.
So I had to disrupt the compilation and postpone the task to tomorrow.
The result was not satisfying, but I still got something that I had ignored before.

January 03rd, 2018 Week 01st Wednesday
My existence is not without reason. I know that I could be a quite a different person.
我的存在必定有意义，我知道我会成为一个与众不同的人。
When you are considered to be indispensable in your organization, that means you have become quite a different person.
Try to make yourself unique, both in knowledge and practical experiences.
If you find your skills can be easily replaced by others, please watch out, maybe you should start to learn some new skills to make sure you are irreplaceable.
You can't turn back the clock, but you can wind it up again.
你无法让时钟反转，但你能重新上紧发条。
From Bonnie Prudden.
Today I was asked a question by my team-leader, I'd like to present it here:
Do you have a clear conception about the skills-tree in your field?
At that very moment, I didn't give him a definitive answer, I can easily see the dissatisfying feeling when looking into his eyes.
And I was dissatisfied with my performance as well, obviously I haven't had a deep and clear understanding about my current business.
That was very depressed, it would make us feel lost in our routine works.
If we don't know what should we do or what should we do to improve skills, we would feel boring about our work, and we would be discarded by this era.
Uh, what is the skills-tree? I wish I can have a clear answer later and know how to consolidate those basic skills.
Maybe we should rework our bootstrap-program to improve the quality of code in our core libraries.

January 04th, 2018 Week 01st Thursday
Just do what works for you, because there will always be someone who think differently.
就做你自己所能做的，因为天外有天，人外有人，总会有人想的不同。
Just now, I saw a quote from Jean-Jacques Rousseau:
People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little.
Stated plainly, I can't agree with this opinion.
Taking my own experience for example, I have met with many people in the past several months.
Some of them are really good talkers, I am always utterly dazzled by their profound erudition in the related fields.
Some of them are inarticulate and rather shy, but the outcomes of their work are quite impressive.
But what about my own performance? Not very satisfying, my progress was very slow.
The main reasons for that may be my bad habits, bad skills in time-management, or some persistence with subtle effects on my career.
Those bad habits, those meaningless persistence, kept me ticking over, stopped me being complacent.
And that may be the reality, that is the reality, and the only choice for us is to accept it.
Just do what works for us.
We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would lay in a stock of wine; but if we defer tasting them too long, we shall find that both are soured by age.
储藏快乐，如同储藏美酒，若是耽搁太久才去品尝，就会发现他们早就变了质。
From Charles Caleb Colton.
If you love life, please think about carpe diem, life is short, if you have some pleasures to enjoy, please enjoy them with all your length.
That is not to let you give up your ambitious dreams or stop your fightings to just rely on your past achievements, but to make you know that you must seize the day, seize every moment in your life.

January 05th, 2018 Week 01st Friday
You can't make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.
不要因为恐惧未知的可能而妄下决定。
Perhaps I should stop casting away my time on those things wiht little positive effects on my career development.
I always pray to God to endue me with wisdom and wealth that can guarantee a decent life.
But in the end, I found the results always turned out to be very disappointing.
Maybe I should accept the reality on the ground no matter how impolitic it may seem.
I am disappointed by those results but I am not downhearted.
I believe that those trivial persistence may agglomerate into a great accomplishment that will bring me the strength to tackle with all kinds of challenges.
The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you.
要说你该跟谁互不相欠的话，那只该是帮助过你的人。
From John E. Southard.
Since I graduated from my high school, my life has been going downwards from the top point.
Maybe the top point was just a lucky chance, and I had disappointed many people who have helped me.
Feeling very regretful, but I never lose the hope that one day I will regain some glorious achievements that will make them happy.
I sincerely hope those who have helped me and those who have taught me can find their happinesses and satisfications in their life and work that they deserve so richly.

January 06th, 2018 Week 01st Saturday
In life the most interesting things tend to happen when you are on your way to do something else.
生活中最有趣的事情往往在你正要做别的事情的时候出现。
Do you want to persuade me not to give up my current endeavors in learning oral-language and improving my writing skills?
I really feel that the time and energy I spend on these exercises are worthless, with little rewards paid back to me.
Maybe I have such feelings just because I hold a wrong attitude towards such exericises, I think I must complete one or two writings every day just to show that I have the characteristic of perseverance, to show that I didn't trifle away my time.
Actually I am wrong, at least my attitudes are not correct.
If I don't consider such things as something I have to complete every day, but take every time I do them as a chance to improve my skills, it would be easier to finish those goals as well.
Don't give up, and speed up, strive to do more things in the same period of time.
I believe something good will happen in the coming serveral days.
The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.
世界变得太快了，常常有人“做不成”还没说完，就有别人在做了。
From Elbert Hubbard.
Reviewing the history of autonomous vehicles, many technical problems that are pressing on me have been sovled successfully by those pioneers.
And recently I always have a question about that:
Why we have to do the same things that have been done by others?
Now I know even if we have the full set of data and program provided by others, we are certain to encounter with enourmous problems when making them work.
So, can you endue me with a little more wisdom and diligence?
I am so eager to be a pioneer in this edge-cutting fields and make some great commitments to the world.

January 07th, 2018 Week 01st Sunday
To remember is to disengage from the present.
铭记过去就是放弃当下。
To remember the past doesn't mean we would disengage from the present.
For most of us, the present is always the extension of the past, we can't easily make a clean break with our past.
The present is fresh, full of contradictions and conflicts, having strong links of the past, but also pointing to the future, in the state of constant changing.
We shouldn't just focus on the past and let it catch up with the present, if we live the present in that way, we will have no future.
The best way to remember is not to look back in sorrow, but to move ahead with determination.
For me, the past always failed to match with my original expectations, and I know the very reasons leading to that.
Hold on to the past mistakes or create a new era that belongs to us?
The answer is obvious. So, if we want to change, please act now, without a delay.
To make pleasures pleasant, shorten them.
要想真正享受快乐，就要懂得节制。
From Charles Buxton.
I think I am really a sluggard, I alway want to stay in the warm bed the whole day in the weekends, for it is terribly cold outside these days.
However, after struggling to get up, I feel very upset, why not get up a little earlier and spend those time in enjoying the life, like doing some reading or coding for my own project?
Achievements result from discipline and persistent practice.
I know, I know, but I seldom follow these simple dogmas in my life.

January 08th, 2018 Week 02nd Monday
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
在一个不断想改变你的世界里坚持做自己，就是最伟大的成就。
From Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Sometimes it may be good to be a man who can hold on his bottom-line and can withstand any temptation.
If he was considered to be a man with no moral bottom-line and always sits on the fence and falls on the side of the stronger, then it would become very difficult for him to win the trust of others.
But sometimes it would be better to be a man who can adjust himself swiftly according to the changes around him.
Particularly, in this fast-moving world, it is a matter of cardinal significance to be able to change with the times, otherwise we would be forsaken by the era.
It is said that the art of life lies in a constant readjustment to our surroundings, but obviously I don't understand such art of living.
Back to my own problem, actually I think I am a determined person with very firm will and I am also a model in personal morality, at least I think so.
A determined person always tries to finish his job, no matter how hard it is, I know I can, but I should be aware of the effectiveness, or else people will be not as patient as I think to wait for me completing my work.
Totally rubbish, isn't it?
How about spending more time on some useful things?

January 09th, 2018 Week 02nd Tuesday
Use the smile to change the world. Don't let the world change your smile.
用你的笑容去改变这个世界，别人这个世界改变了你的笑容。
Always keep a smiling face toward the world, maybe it can return you a warm smile sometimes, especially in such cold days.
Work and struggle and never accept an evil that you can change.
努力奋斗，坏事若是有改变的可能，就绝对不要认命。
From Andre Gide.
If you think you are beaten, you are; if you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but you think you can't, it is almost a cinch, you won't.
If you think you will lose, you are lost.
For out in this world, we find success begins with a fellow's will.
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are.
You have got to think high to rise, you have got to be sure of yourself before you can ever win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man, but sooner or later the man who wins is the one who thinks he can.
So, please struggle to acquire an unshakeable belief in yourself.
Everyone will know how to compile a program perfectly if there are some tutorials to follow.
If there is no such tutorial, or there is no precedent for what we are doing now, I think it is a rare chance for us to demonstrate our capabilities and to improve oursleves.

January 10th, 2018 Week 02nd Wednesday
No need to have a reason to love you. Anything can be a reason not to love you.
喜欢你，不需要什么理由；不喜欢你，什么都可以成为理由。
I love you because I feel very comfortable when staying with you.
I love you because you always consider me as one of the most important person in your life.
Darling, I will love you in the same ways you love me, and I will love you more.
Say not, when I have leisure I will study; you may not have leisure.
可别说你有空了就去学习，你可能根本不会有空。
From The Mishnah.
Time is very limited, especially for those salaried employees, like me, but we still can spare some time to read some books and learn some new skills.
Maybe we all have some perfect plans about self-improving, but things always go against our expectations.
After a hard day, we would feel very tired and have no more energy to read or to learn.
So it would be a better choice to make the best use of the time when we are working and dealing with our daily businesses.
Don't take our work as borsome routine works, try to find out the essence of our work and refine something important things that can improve the efficiency, then we would have extra time to pursue some new knowledges that are helpful to our carrers.
Every day, we can achieve somethings, with every moment, every action, every word, every gesture, thought and feeling, we exert some influence on our world.
Try to be better.
What is happened can be a perfect reason to keep going.
Keep going, and create the life we are eager to live.

January 11th, 2018 Week 02nd Thursday
Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don't be sorry.
精彩地活着，不停地前行，大胆冒险，心怀感激，不留遗憾。
Everything we do is a kind of achievement. The question is, where are those achievements taking us?
Are these constant achievements bringing us closer to the life we ulitmately desire to live, or are they holding us back?
Are these achievements satisfying and fulfilling, or are they are just getting us through the day and passing the time?
With our own attitudes, our own focus and our own actions, we can choose our achievements.
And by choosing our achievements, we are choosing the kind of life that we will experience.
So, please live every moment meaningfully, try to make some positive and beneficial achievements that can help promote ourselves.
Hide not your talents, they for use were made. What's a sun-dial in the shade?
不要掩盖才华，才华本该施展。日晷若置于阴影之中，便百无一用。
From Benjamin Franklin.
I am not willing to hide my talents, if there are any.
I always try to show off my knowledges, even though I just know a little about the topics I am talking about.
But when it goes into details, people will know I just have superficial knowlede on the topics.
How to build up my own system of knowledge, I know that would be very helpful when using them and try to learn something new based on them.
Feeling so anxious, could you give me some suggestions?

January 12th, 2018 Week 02nd Friday
Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.
我的身后空空荡荡，整个世界都在前方，这就是在路上。
That is the very feeling I feel now, and I know that is the life for the pioneers.
There is no precedent, at least in my team, for what I am doing now, so maybe it can't be considered to be some kind of boasts, it is the truth.
Sometimes I always expect there would be some experts who can give me some helps or guidelines to my research, make my work easier and get me out of the seemingly limitless questions.
But it appears there are few people who know how to handle those questions.
Even if there are, they may be not wiling to offer some accurate answers, because those answers often are kept as confidential.
So, I have to mainly rely on myself, I should put forward some feasible solutions for those problems and build up the developing environment for my team.
That is exactly what a pioneer should do.
There may be no existing way, but we are the ones who will pave the way.
Let's witness the miracles created by us.
Love should give a sense of freedom, not of prison.
爱情应该给人自由感，而非囚禁感。
From D.H.Lawrence.
Make sure to let her feel the best wiht you, that is, to give her a feeling of security, a feeling of freedom.
But how to provide her with such feelings, I think, I should make sure I have the capabilities needed to support a family and to maintain the relationship.
Come on, let the relationship become more stable and more prosperous.

January 13th, 2018 Week 02nd Saturday
Anyone who has no spiritual aspirations is an idiot.
任何没有精神追求的人都是愚昧无知的人。
Today I went to a bookshop with my girlfirend.
I was surprised that there were so many people, not only students, but also many adults, who enjoyed reading there.
Maybe we all have some kind of spiritual aspirations, so please don't think others as idiots, they may not be willing to show their dreams to you.
Sometimes we don't have to show our pursues to others, and we'd better to show off them after we have achieved them.
Success is waking up in the morning, so excited about what you have to do.
成功就是清晨醒来，对自己的人生充满期待。
From Fame.
The movie Fame was produced in 2009, and its Chinese name is '名扬四海'.
Though there were innumerable moments I felt so frustrated with the results, I always remind me of being optimistic about life, because I know there are always some hopes as long as I am still breathing.
I am skilled at programing, and there are some great opportunities available right now.
I should allow myself to dream, and I know my abilities and talents can enable me to reach those dreams if I choose.
Actually we are constantly achieving, so point those achievements in a meaningful direction, use them to make my life the very best as it can be.

January 14th, 2018 Week 02nd Sunday
Embrace your life, for we only live once.
拥抱你的生活，因为我们只能活一次。
We just live once, so I would rather live my life in an active and positive way than live in negative and pessimistic ways.
And I would rather enjoy every moments of my life than complain and curse the unfairness of life.
Try to be patient and keep calm when things don't happen in the way we had expected.
There are always gaps between dreams and reality, but they are not insurmountable.
Do not, for one repulse, forego the purpose that you resolved to effect.
不要因为一次挫折就放弃了曾立志为之奋斗的目标。
From William Shakespeare.
Sometimes or most often, life would let we down, but it dosen't mean we must let ourself down.
Always try to pick ourself up, quickly to take a positive step, because we know that we are closer to reaching our goals than we have ever been before if we can do in such ways.
We have already been through some of the hard part and experienced some of the difficulities that we have to go through.
So keep going, and make those bitter experience count.
If things don't work, change the approach that is what is called for.
Learn from where we have been, adapt and adjust our efforts to be even more effective.
Every day, every encounter and every outcome is a new opportunity to move forward.
Keep focusing on the goals we have chosen, and keep moving in the best way we know.
Disappointments are just as much a part of the process as victories.
Be truly thankful for them all, and in our gratitude we will find a way to put them all to positive use.
Whatever has happened is a perfect reason to keep going.
Keep going, and create the life we have chosen to live.
