I was about to leave, but suddenly I found the insect on the wall. Without checking dictionary, can you name him? I forgot. I raised my cell and took a pic for him. (Plz see above.)

 A guy who was sitting on the bench asked me something, i was so focused on taking the pic, and I thought he wanted to enter the building, he said, “Oh, I work as a Chaplain here. I thought you have trouble in entering the building? I may open the door for you.” I said, “Oh no. I have my badge with me. I am taking the pic! What is its name? ”

He took a look, and said “praying ~~~~~~”. He reminded me. He also showed me his cell with the spelling of ~~~~~~ 

“You should have studied biology instead of people.” He was kidding. 

I said, “ I wanna study both:)” I always like to joke around for sure. 

“Hahaha”

 

I have new interns this month,  which means, I have to teach them a lot from the very basics.

 I was very tired today. However, after studying biology for 2 minutes, I was refreshed again.

We are deep in the rat-race, driven by nothing but fear.

Here's a quote from Taleb: Read nothing from the past one hundred years; eat no fruits from the past one thousand years; drink nothing from the past four thousand years (just wine and water); but talk to no ordinary man over forty. A man without a heroic bent starts dying at the age of thirty.

我不喜欢那样,我对周围充满了好奇:)我的毛病是兴趣来得快,去得也快,没有长性:)
