Each book on every shelf has a story to tell. Should I listen to the dozens
\n of stories awaiting to be recounted? Or should I self off those books as quickly
\n as half.com<\/a> can snap them up?<\/p>\n

I can't seem to let go of A
\n Guide to Feynman Diagrams in the Many-Body Problem<\/a> or Mass
\n Customization: The New Frontier in Business Competition<\/a>. Some books (such
\n as a copy of The
\n Best American Essays 1996 (Serial)<\/a>) actually belong to friends with whom
\n I've more or less lost touch. And in the desire to master both Mandarin and
\n Cantonese Chinese (i.e., to Read
\n and Write Chinese<\/a>) in my copious free time, I purchased Concise
\n English-Chinese Chinese-English Dictionary<\/a> and Let's Talk Cantonese<\/i>.\n<\/p>\n

What
\n Should I Do with My Life?<\/a> My goal is still Creating
\n a Life Worth Living<\/a>. If only I could follow those simple formulae: Do
\n What You Are<\/a> and
\n Live the Life You Love<\/a> by Getting
\n What You Came for<\/a> . <\/p>\n

I'd like to have it all, I suppose. I want to experience The
\n Joy of Work<\/a> that emanate from The
\n Effective Executive<\/a> leaders all around me. Love would be wonderful too.
\n However, as one of those Singles
\n at the Crossroads<\/a>, struggling with Boundaries
\n in Dating<\/a>, I'm comforted that at least my would-be lovers are Caring
\n Enough to Confront<\/a> me by saying, \"I
\n Only Say This Because I Love You<\/a>.\" <\/p>\n

Maybe I don't need the love of a good woman. I just need to love humanity at
\n large. All I have to do is to start Making
\n Room<\/a> in my heart, eating enough Bread
\n for the Journey<\/a>. But as it ought to say in The
\n Activist's Handbook<\/a>, we must work Peer-to-Peer<\/a>
\n to spread what must be My
\n Only Comfort<\/a> (or is that Wishful
\n Thinking<\/a>?), that the Good
\n News About Injustice<\/a> is that there will always be work for us do-gooders,
\n regardless of attempts at any Bridge to Understanding<\/em>. <\/p>\n

In the end, Finding
\n Faith<\/a> in God and practicing our faith in the great God
\n in the Dark<\/a> will answer the cry of the heart, "Please
\n Understand Me<\/a>!" and that refrain, "Please
\n Understand Me II<\/a>!"<\/p>\n

Don't forget How
\n to Read Slowly<\/a>. For you'll see that what started as an attempt to poetry
\n ended up to be Something
\n Like an Autobiography<\/a>, full of Good
\n Taste, Bad Taste, and Christian Taste<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
