Small Break from Pressure

Lately I saw the news about employees’ suicide of FOXCONN. People discussed the serial events a lot these days. I felt sorry about those who chose suicide to end their lives. But I couldn't figure out what serious difficulties caused such situations? Those people were so young. They should have good life if they took a different choice. Here I won’t judge if they chose a wrong way to solve their problems. But I ever approached some people who really thought the suicide is a better way to end their suffering. I think how to dispel their negative thoughts is a very important step and lead them to look more bright sides of their life. The FOXCONN management had taken some actions to stop such suicide happening again, and the local government stoped all the relative news published. I sincerely hope the sad things stopped there.

So far I have been traveling in China more than three weeks and completed three projects at my first station, Jiangyin, Jiangsu. (The city is located at the south side of the Yangtze River). Though the continuous field works made me exhausted, I felt fulfilled at works during this period. I made efforts on developing new methods to do analysis. I shared my skills with some colleagues. And my team had good communication with those whom were interviewed. Through these projects I saw the growth of my team. It was a truly good experience on teamwork.
This Wednesday I moved to my second station, Changshu, and stayed here for two nights. Soon I am going for the next city two hours later. The tight schedule of this travel made me a bit. Fortunately I may have a small break this weekend and meet with another project team. I plan to have a city tour and visit a friend couple dwelling there.

Life likes tides, sometimes up and sometimes down. I saw the Chairman of FOXCONN, Mr. Kao bowed his head for sorry. The thing taught me no one will always stands at the top. There are always a serial tests along our life way. We have duties and rights for our own life. And we also have many options when we need to make a choice. No matter good things or bad things, they will pass by and become a part of our memory eventually. So, I'm asking myself: I may not change the things ahead of me, but I have the power to control my mindset in a positive status.

Balance In Life

I have been traveling in China since May 5. It's not easy to access my blog and face book here. These days made me feel suffocated and stressed. The internet resources are seen as natural and citizens' rights in most countries, but not in China.

There were some personnel adjustments in our company during middle April, including mine. Much responsibility added. I had a great worry about that and felt pressured these days. Some nights sleeped not well. Though I knew it's no use to worry so much. Thanks for this travel to set me free from those bothersome stuff. I wish I may make good adjustment after this period.

Today is Mother's Day in my country. I remember I haven't given my time to my Mom for years due to my works. As aging I feel more and more sorry to her but can't speak it out. It seems normal people keep words unspoken especially in front of those close ones.

How to make balance in family, work and social relatioship? What to take more or to give up? When to do or not to do? Well...for me, it really needs a huge wisdom.
