Abstracted from an email to my Elegant Piscean Friend, who mentioned I may not believe in luck but wish me good luck......(isn't that a bit contractive? ) Here is my reply:- "I am not sure if I believe in luck, but I know I am a lucky person cuz I am lucky to have a good family, good friends and I could usually do what I want if I pay effort and work hard. Maybe some people only consider they are lucky if they could get what they want without paying any effort. But for me, it means lucky already when you could get what you want by paying effort. More than that, I know what I have and I treasure them...isn't it the most lucky? (think I am going to post this paragraph in xanga...isn't it meaningful or inspiring? Haha...I am so 自戀...I know that...all the time...)" Yes, I know what I have and I treasure them...such as:- - The good coffee machine in the office - My mobile job nature...Munich is only where my home office is...I have to work all over Germany...wish it'd be my turn to work in the Netherlands and Austria...I don't mind always staying in hotel most of the time still...though my colleagues told me I'd only want to go "home" every weekend after my first assignment! - Living in luxury hotel and traveling by business class is a norm - Handsome senior managers (like Bred Pitt...) with their open-top BMW and Mercedes, but also a ring on their special fingers...ar... - The usual 2-week break fooling around in the office in between projects and you can leave the office anytime after lunch?/SPAN> - Lunch cash coupons provided by the company - The casual atmosphere to have lunch with the whole department - No charge code for photo-copying! - So far, over 99% of the local people I met are very helpful and friendly - My nice 3-room apartment till 1st of May!
