Love asks faith, and faith asks firmness.

爱情要求忠诚，而忠诚要求坚贞。

Love, as well as many other relations among people, asks faith and loyalty, and both of the latter demand firmness.

No doubt it is perfect if people have the character of firmness, however, the most powerful thing that can bring people together may be benefit.

If the relationship can be beneficial for both, then it is easier to build and maintain the relationship.

Remember, there is no everlasting friend, no everlasting enemy, there is only everlasting interest.

I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific.

我总是想成为大人物，但对此我应该更加具体些。

From Jane Wagner.

Everyone want to be somebody, one of importance, measured in wealth, power, position and so on.

However, the reality is that most of us would be nothing but mediocre ones, only a handful of people, who are talented, industrious, and fortunate can become social elites.

In fact, many of us also have the potential to be important, and we don't lack the necessary characteristics as I have listed above.

Well, now that everything seems ok, why most of us can't realize our aspirations? What went wrong?

Sometimes, we may feel throughly disappointed because the final outcomes didn't meet our expectations, we may feel strange because we couldn't figure out what was wrong and how we could improve the situation.

How about having a short break to think about if our perceptions or beliefs that were wrong or if our expectations were lack of solid upholder and specific operations?

Always take some time to review the expecations and the designed steps to promote them, thus once something goes wrong, it can be discovered in its early stage and we can have more time to correct it.
