Speechless

Itโ€™s been a long time since Iโ€™ve written anything. Perhaps writing solely in English is an obstacle.

So much has happened in the past two months.

First, the company I work for failed in its Series D financing.

Our CTO had to lay off more than a third of our apartment design programmers and consolidate three applications into one.

Almost half of the programmers left, and it seemed like everything went back to the happy times during Series B.

But some things can never be brought back.

My project was cut off at version 1.6.

So, I no longer have coding work.

Although soon after, I went to San Francisco to attend WWDC16.

Second, do things I love.

When I first started working, I subscribed to many tech blogs, but they no longer caught my attention.

At the same time, I lost interest in everything and didnโ€™t want to meet anyone.

Perhaps itโ€™s because I donโ€™t have any real hobbies. Programming used to be my only interest.

But two years ago, after going to Beijing, the most suffocating metropolis in the world, I finally had some luxurious time to relax my body and mind.

Third, after returning from SFO, I did indeed reassess the importance of exercise.

In developed countries, almost every elite individual exercises.

When I saw the blue sky everywhere, the vast Pacific, the green leaves in the sunlight, and the houses on the mountains covered in fog,

I knew there was still a beautiful world out there.

Itโ€™s essential to keep our passion alive; everything else is secondary.
