Hi,Dear Friends
 How are you? Have you had a good week? Are you enjoying your weekend now? I do hope you have and you are.
Today is a special day.
-- It was the birthday of my deceased first American Art teacher who led me re-go on the art learning and study road. Instead of painting a new picture for him as I usually did, I wrote a letter to him to report what I have done in the past year even though he has not been able to read it already. But I am sure there is something special in the universe, he would be certainly happy and smile for me in the heaven.
-- It was the day that my paintings have reached 800 since the same day, 2003, except the several hundred paintings from the nature. It is my 10th anniversary that I restarted to paint.
-- I have completed my last article for my publication and sent the Foreword and Appendix to more than 50 of my professors, tutors, teachers, bosses and friends whom have email addresses, and whom I would like to thank for their good help, direction and support on my cross-culture and comprehensive art dream-seeking road. Pleased them to check what I have written about them and to correct anything wrong or unsuitable.
-- During my daily reading and after my writing work, I have adjusted the idea that I wrote in last letter to you. Instead of preparing to be the second best, I should do my best and become the best. After all, if I set a target 120, I could reach 100; if I set it 100, I could reach 80. So, I must set a target best, instead of the second best.
-- Even though I have been a dreamer and " idealist " since my childhood and now, even though I work very hard, I should not forget my family members and friends, compare with my dream or possible new career in the future. Family members and friends are important much more. Therefore, I am going to visit my friends and see my family members as soon as I finish the jobs in my hands.
-- As a person who works with sicknesses together, I must looked after my own health much more carefully, otherwise, all of the dreams will be nothing. This week, I have started to do Chinese Qigong every day and I am sill keeping walk each night.
I am sure, the road is winding, the future is bright. With so much help of so many good people and organizations, I will become the best in my field some day.
How do you think of my idea? Am I making a daydream?
Do you have anything special to share?
