Or maybe just work enough to buy coffee?

I ask chatgpt but he probably didn't want to answer directly. That is interesting!!

Today I finished work early and stopped by a coffee shop. Wow everything was beautiful, the atmosphere was really nice and cozy with melodious music. It is a good place to chill/work. I love that. The story behind why I know this coffee shop is fun too. There are some bookstores here. What caught my eyes are all romance novels: Little by little, this world is about you, We find each other in loneliness, Because of love, etc. Look like for what I am looking. From I start to think about writing a poem/novel story/books. I pay more attention to poetic and polished words, readability and rhythm. They are good ones.

Both the dynamic of coffee shop and books, it is inspiring that make me have that passing thought. Or maybe just work enough to buy coffee. In this place, feel like there is another world far from our current reality. The world focuses on creativity, joy and freedom. What a day!

To be similar my type so far probably, somethings serious must be included. 

How do you define success?

Success , when I were a little, is about having wealth, social status and to be extraordinary in a specific area. Having wealth can provide everything wanted: clothes, houses, healthcare etc, and status and to be extraordinary can offer influence and recognition for abilities or contributions.

When I grow older and accumulate experiences, the definition of success is not too specific like that but somehow still relevant. It is broader aspects of life. Can tell it more needs or greedy? 

Success, now for me, is about having many choices. That is about freedom, flexibility, and the ability to shape my own path. It is a way to ensure that no matter what come to my life, I am not limited by circumstances and external forces. 

Having many choices is a result of

Being financial independence. It can provide me a sense of security, stability and allowing me a resource to make decisions without relying heavily on others. I can work anytime, travel anywhere, help anyone.

An important and high position in workplace. It reflects of personal achievement, recognition, the ability to impact. Not only it is hard to be replaceable, but many opportunities for career. 

That is well-rounded life I can imagine now. Will the definition be changed when I get older and older?

By the way, it is totally opposite the title LOL. Sometimes enjoy charming simple moments are also fresh and unforgettable.

How is success involved more members husband, kids? It is interesting and I am also curious.

Let's find out. 

Till next time.

Make a poem to you

Journey to us Do  not know how long it will take But I believe that one day, I will see you I will no longer passively wait as I used to Not only because I am getting older  But because I am also wiser And will not settle down until I found you You  are all that I long for -  An understanding, a connection, a long-lasting I stand here with an effort, a hope and a resilience You deserve all of my dedication  And you are worth the wait To  enter my heart, simple but secret In short, you should work harder than me Invest more and strive beyond me Only then I will see you standing where I am Finding  you is not different principle as all thing in my life Everything worthwhile must be learned and earned Valuable things take time with consistent striving But I will not leave myself eventually My happiness and well-being come first Do not tell me I am selfish It is your choice and my decision For I strongly believe this is how love works I   carry a pure...

A girl likes winter. It reveals herself

I like winter. Is that so strange and weird to you? I like winter when I was just a little kid. I had no idea at that time but I did know I like the atmosphere during winter. I love we all family members gathered in the warm stove. I like how we tried to make us hot. I like to wear thick jackets, wool hat, scarf and socks. I love Christmas and Lunar New year coming soon in the winter. Having said that, I give a truly special feeling for winter season. Liking winter still exist wherever I go. I studied Bachelor in HoChiMinh City far from my hometown and there is no winter in this place. I felt there must be something missing here and it was true. I miss my hometown and miss the cool air in the winter. It's rare for me to see someone claim that their favorite season in the year is winter. I can tell winter is my favorite. I like the air, the atmosphere. I like to see all people put on their jacket and scarf in the street. Everything seems closer together than ever. A book mention abo...

Million years ago

>>>>>Lyrics<<<<<<< I only wanted to have fun Learning to fly, learning to run I let my heart decide the way When I was young Deep down, I must have always known That this would be inevitable To earn my stripes, I'd have to pay And bare my soul I know I'm not the only one Who regrets the things they've done Sometimes I just feel it's only me Who can't stand the reflection that they see I wish I could live a little more Look up to the sky, not just the floor I feel like my life is flashing by And all I can do is watch and cry I miss the air, I miss my friends I miss my mother, I miss it when Life was a party to be thrown But that was a million years ago When I walk around all of the streets Where I grew up and found my feet They can't look me in the eye It's like they're scared of me I try to think of things to say Like a joke or a memory But they don't recognize me now In the light of day I ...
