Overview
About Me
I'm curious about everything on earth, in the universe, and out of this universe.
I love language, music and poems.
Plants calm me down when I feel upset.
Animals cure me with their innocent eyes, for a thousand of times.
Reading, painting and writing bring me back to myself.
Sewing makes me concentrate.
Physics and mathematics are beautiful.
Cognitive psychology is my research interest, especially with language and consciousness. For the past few years I have been working on language acquisition of the deaf population.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is eternal, being yourself in this universe is just a smallest piece of it.
I don't know what I'll become in the future, nor do I care, because every breath I've taken is unique, and each single personal experience is priceless.
Misunderstanding is the first step to get to understand. We have to tolerate, and then appreciate.
I would try my best to become a simple and nice person, better if with more knowledge and being able to help more people.
My missions for life: pursuing knowledge in every aspect; creating and writing in order to share my knowledge with others
