Fate is responsible for shuffling, but the game of cards is our own!

命运负责洗牌，但是玩牌的是我们自己！

Today, I updated the opera browser. It sent me a note that it needs to be updated to the newest edition.

I hadn't carefully check what the details might be, just clicked 'Yes'.

After its update, I reopened the browser, and saw its welcome page, there were some new features, one is that it can change units on the website, more detailly, it can highlight text to convert values including speed, weight, temperature and more, the other, it can take snapshots inside the browser, that is, it provides a function which is similar to the clipboard.

Simple but useful functions.

You may doubt that whether these new features can be considered as innovation or not, because many others also have the similar functions, and much more earlier and much more stronger.

Absolutely, such combinations of existing thing are also innovations.

Don't think it is too difficult to create new things, sometimes that may be very simple, you just need to combine different features together and provide these functions in one set, that also can be creative and innovative.

How to integrate different features, actually, is also an advanced knowledge.

Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him, and then choose that way with all his strength.

每个人都应该仔细留心内心引领的哪一条路，然后尽全力选择那条路。

From Hasidic Saying.

Listen to your heart, sometimes it will tell you the way you should take.

And when you choose to follow your heart, don't forget to take your brains with you, in case that the way turns out to be not the one you want.

But no matter which way you choose, whether it is suitable or not, whether it is tough or smooth, always run with all your strength.

Recently, I met with many talented peers who have given me very deep impressions.

They are so smart, talkative, professional and most of them are very good at dealing with suppliers on technical details.

I always feel inferior when discussing with them. I know there are many things I should learn, at least I should know some basic concepts about the topics.

But it seems I never tried my best to improve my drawbacks.

Finally, I have been left far behind not only by my peers, but also by those successors.

What a pity. Can I live up to those expectations?
