2014 Year in Review 博客分类： Miscellanies

  The passed 2014 is a really tough and struggling year for me.

  During the course of previous 12 months, I wrote a dozens of tec blogs, read a handful books, practiced listening and speaking English, broke up with my beloved ex-girlfriend and then fall in love with the girl who loves me so much. I've been searching for a new position and pushing me so hard that I barely have time to stop and think. It turned out that I'm still where I was and feeling frustrated. I struggled in the narrow space between the reality and dream, experienced illness, being pessimistic, feeling hopeless, getting annoyed, meditating on the meaning of life, questioning the reason of living and being anxicious about the future.
