Master a language

“读书破万卷,下笔如有神”
'Reading break rolls, getting a God' - Google Translate
The more you read, the better you write. 

From the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu, metaphors in order to write well, we should read more books. It mean to master a language you must read more books.

Using a pen to write in Chinese language is not possible, because as in Singapore, most people do not have the working environment to write Chinese language after they left secondary school. I am not able to write but able to type Chinese language using pinyin.

Self-awareness


Can negative force on you can push forward to work hard to achieve a good positive result? 

From scientific view, some human traits can be changed by human intervention and some cannot. Therefore don't waste your effort. 

Feeling negative when you are anxious and no self-confidence, be positive if you have a hobby and interest.

Handicapped does not mean the person would be a hopeless

All times, there are many good examples such as Liu Wei. They do not give up, believe on personal interest, determination and faith, the impossible becomes possible.


Important note : Please don't try to act like someone else. 

If you want to "born to win", meaning full of life, you are advised not to imitate like someone else. Be unique, be yourself, enjoy your food, enjoy your work, enjoy whatever you have, take care of things and people (individuals, families, communities and nations) around you , take care of the earth and the world, make it more perfect, though your strength is very meager.

唐代诗人李白曾经说过:"天生我才必有用。" 意思是说天生了我,必有他可用的地方。

But please, that person must have undergone liberal education, grew up in a right family.

Soya Banana Dragon Fruit Oats Porridge with Rye Flakes


Get up every morning, before breakfast, I first have a cup [1 teaspoon of black bean soaked apple cider vinegar + 1 tablespoon of wheat germ + 1 teaspoon of honey + 650 ml of water] to increase my appetite, and then spend about 45 minutes to prepare this breakfast dish.

Whenever durian season in Singapore, I will use durian instead of dragon fruit, add cardamom powder and fennel powder to bring me a unique taste.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and the type of foods that are eaten can affect mood and energy level for the entire day. Because of this, living in Singapore, l love to prepare myself for a no dairy breakfast with low temperature cooking. I seldom use to eat out for my breakfast, unless I travel abroad.

 1 Serving
    1. 800 ml tap water
    2. 2 chinese soup spoons of rolled oats
    3. 1 chinese soup spoon of rolled rye flakes

4) To prevent the soya milk powder become lumpy, affect the nutritional value of the soya milk powder, the pot quickly cools to about 50°C with round shallow bucket of tap water. Add one sachet 30 grams of no sugar high-calcium soya milk powder, use bamboo chopsticks to stir and mix well.

5) Add one ripe banana remove skin, three fresh honey dates remove seeds, red-fleshed dragon fruit cut half, then scoop out with a table spoon.

The benefits of oats stem from the soluble fiber which has been shown in studies to lower cholesterol levels thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Oats contain a unique antioxidant called avenanthramides. Avenanthramides help prevent free radicals from damaging the good (LDL) cholesterol.

In addition to the long term benefits of oat consumption, oats are a great source of complex carbohydrates which provide long lasting energy for active individuals. Oats also contain a high amount of the antioxidant selenium, viscous soluble high-quality fiber, can relieve constipation problems and reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. Whereas the intakes of rye flakes reduce your risk of diabetes.
