IF

Priority as long as employed in govt - go back to Ottawa March while being referred to Vancouver jobs (or telework) OR quit govt (or telework).

I have a feeling it will be this one.

Ottawa + Vancouver: Return to Ottawa, email every dept n branch in the govt for telework possibilities while applying to priority vancouver jobs.  Pros: a yr of paid leave... can take a few years off while exploring options... have govt in the back...

Quit Govt: email every dept n branch in the govt for telework possibilities.. have to apply to jobs and recruiters in HK n Cali, leverage to invest to start real estate career..

Priority until placed indeterminate - stay in Vancouver OR work in private while being referred

Priority ends March 16 - Private immediately

Britney's Femme Fatale Album

There is a thick, defined line between trashy music promoting "trashy" women and music inspiring or celebrating independent women.  Then far from the two, there is the lethal, seductive villain (femme fatale).  You really see the evolution in Britney's albums - Sweet, seductive, independent, attitude, promicuous, trashy.  Unfortunately, that's what the post-90's kids like to hear.  Kids, independence certainly does not mean promiscuity, and promiscuity does not necessarily mean trashy either.  Unfortunately, the two are always directly linked throughout history.  Is the idea of having some class and self-respect passe again?  An album with no melody but moans and a woman rolling around begging for sex to Jack, Joe and Jill will certainly sell - mostly to young women too.

"If it is too loud, you are too old", eh?  To each its own.

When a person knows what he is living for, he can endure any kind of hardship.

一個人知道自己為甚麼而活﹐就可以忍受任何一種生活。

When a person knows what he is living for, he can endure any kind of hardship.

What if he is living for comfort?   What if he is living for happiness but he needs to endure frustrations and sadness and heartbreaks and failures when he is not even sure whether happiness can be pursued after all the sufferings?  What is worth 'any kind of hardship?'  It sounds altruistic. 

What do people endure hardship for besides providing for loved ones?

What kind of achievements?  What kind of hope?  What abstract dreams?  The greater good?

A Beautiful Heart

Beautiful Girl
Beautiful Heart
The two don't always go together
Neither, necessarily apart

A beautiful girl
You might come across every day
and you might feel an attraction
We're wired that way

But in time you know
what others eventually learn
It's a beautiful heart
that's better to earn

Because beauty only goes so far
and is skin deep
But a beautiful heart
is forever to keep

And long after beauty has faded
she'll likely remain jaded
Vanity in its place remains
seeking approval and gains

But a beautiful heart
grows in its grace
and gracefulness is its own beauty
and puts a smile on your face

When you see the eyes
and you look deep inside
you can see many things
that some may hide

A beautiful heart
is so hard to find
Treasure above priceless art
Inspire me to be kind

One special girl
will remind you of both
Beauty and a beautiful heart
and you'll gravitate to her from the start

She'll play on your soul
and she'll stay gentle on your mind
and you find yourself dreaming
'I wish somehow she was mine'

But of the two if you could so choose
a bet on which you can never lose
Choose the beautiful heart
Because that heart will melt away your blues

A beautiful heart will increase your joy
and increase your hope
and make you feel like a man
More than just a toy

If you find a girl with a beautiful heart
Give her love from the very start
Treat her kind and with dignity and care
and for you, she'll always be there

A person's disposition and personality are pre-determined genetically.  I remember a lot of preferences and thinking, I already have when I was 5 or 6.  That's why people say, parents know their children best.  The things that you can change a person after birth, is their thinking and what they are used to.  I look at people in Ottawa, they have been educated in a certain way that most people are nice and considerate, fair.. That is achieved by shaping their thinking, and their environment.  To me, thinking including core beliefs, are affected by external factors.
