Writing exercise - 1

My dear boss kept complaining about my technical writing skills. So here I am, back to this blog again. Perhaps I will take a couple of hours a day to write something again. It is another way of meditation, where I have to concentrate, produce cohesive thoughts, and then use proper language to express them.

Time, always time, it seems that there is plenty, but when I think of the tremendous task list I have, the time I have for developing other skills always seems so scarce. However, I can not really ignore the other developments because of this task list. There is a Chinese saying: "Read ten million books, and walk ten million miles," which is a requirement for the ancient intellectuals. I wish, in my limited life time, I can do something similar to it. Walk the miles, read the books, opening my eyes, and maybe finally opening the mind.

Can't write much now. I have been reading Russell lately (In Praise of Idleness), can not say I am completely agree with him, but he was such a good man.
