'……They vanish from a world where they were of no consequence; where they achieved nothing; where they were a mistake and a failure and a foolishness; where they have left no sign that they had existed —— a world which will lament them a day and for get them forever.'
Samuel Longhorne Clemens

This is definite a pessimistic quotation, and definitely untrue to him proved by the time and fact. Yet, it causes me again to think about the value of my existence.

Observing into the world of my age, it's pessimistic into the personal life in the age, some how I hope it optimistic, the premise is to sit down and plan. I want to be a man of importance, not of fame. I pursuer so far an aim of a master of the two languages of Chinese and English. And than, start there, and go further.
Sometimes, by corresponding with friends, I also have a puzzle that what's education for, where can a person find his position in the world, what a person can be beyond him? Living in a metropolitan, yet a person find that the remoteness between two hearts, and loneliness of personal struggle. It is an extreme case of me. I take care of myself, and I am taken care of by myself, I learn myself, I struggle myself, I enjoy the happiness myself and I suffered bitterness myself. There was one, there is not any.
Gee! What is this about?
