There are many people in this world, are trying to live in their own way.
I like a Taiwanese cartoonist, Jimmy; I like him not only because of his drawing but also because of his character.
Jimmy in the early years was in the advertising industry, but he never thought of his life will be connected to drawing. Until 1995, leukemia, let him have a redefinition of life.
After recover from the disease, Jimmy began to think about how to spend the rest of his time?
He did not know where his life would go and how long does he has left, but he knew that he needed to leave something for his life. So he began to draw comics.
He read all the best-selling books on the market and to write the dialogue that matched the illustrations; he began to read poetry related books.
Jimmy said, before the illness, he always thought that the world is so big, after the illness, only to find that the most beautiful in life, is constantly changing, constantly finding something different.
Jimmy said the happiest thing is after sending his daughter to school every morning, sitting alone in front of the windowsill, began to unrestrained drawing.
I forgot that I am a patient, I like a dreamer, wandering in my own world.
I don't want to leave any regrets for life, and the drawing book is my dream.
I just spent my whole life chasing it.

Yesterday, I saw my friend, John, posted on Facebook: Time passed really fast, a lot of things around have changed, of course, there are always some things that need to hold on, still holding on.
John is a motivation in my heart.
John always said: “I want to go outside to see the world, not only for the certificate but also want to make my world richer.”
It took him two years to graduate. I used to go to school to visit him.
He rented a room around the school, stayed for two years, with no air-conditioning. When the winter comes, he will stay in the library, come back after the library is closed. During summer, he will stay in the room, blowing fans, ready for the exam.
A small guitar has become his best partner for two years. When he was graduating, he gave me a call. Through the phone call, I can feel his happiness.
Now, he is still in school learning new knowledge, playing guitar, writing songs.
Perhaps, some people will feel this kind of life, very insipid, not vigorous, but, this is his life, a boy pursuing his dreams, trying to live in his own way.
We have a lifetime, many times we are pursuing our dreams, but also want to become the person we want to become.
Some people succeed, but in life, more people are attributed to the daily necessities of life, attributed to insipid trivial.
They are still struggling for their lives, never stopping.

I watched a video called "You after one year of college graduation."
In the video, the emcee interviewed a few young people who graduated a year ago, who are working hard in the city.
They said: "This year, I’m 24 years old, graduated one year ago, the day nowadays cannot be call life, can only be called survival.”
"Countless overtime night, received the client's phone call at midnight, wake up and modify the project. Always thought that this project passed too easy, but I know, there will be next.”
"The most difficult time, every day, with roommate drinking white porridge, with a stack of olive dishes." When I was ill, I found that I had no money to see a doctor. ”
"When someone scolds you, you realize that you are not a student, but as a social person, no one cares whether you are tired, they will only look at the results, take responsibility for themselves."
Some people, to pursuit dream, although will have some distant, but always adhere to the faith. Moving forward on the road of chasing dreams;
Some people, to foothold in this city, to change their destiny, they study hard, work hard, doing things they don’t like, just for a better life;
Some people, carrying the burden of the family, forget themselves, each step of footprints are carrying a heavy responsibility, they can not turn back because this is the only way to make their family better;
Some people, to become a better self, weep alone and face life with a laugh.

We are all independent individuals living in the society, from children in swaddling, to the students in the ivory tower, to become an independent social people.
Sometimes, there is no shelter, no parental shelter. When you can can rely on yourself, you want to be independence, but hobbled, you want to give up, and also want to flee.
You are thinking, why do you have to fight so hard?
Because, you know, before you become who you want to be, what you need to do is not to go back, and grit your teeth and move on. There is nothing to do without the ability to make a better man.
The more you grow up, the more you find, more and more involuntarily, more and more insincere.
We are the children who run hard, the rain in front, the thorn road, but still cannot stop the people who want to move forward, no matter how painful or difficult, we will need to keep moving.
But when you run, don't forget to look back at the road you've walked and the people you've met, and the scenery along the way.
Those who inject the goodness of life are the driving force that accompanies us to live and move forward. Because with them, we do not feel that we are walking alone, but with a pilgrimage of a group of people.
Looking back and found that work hard to survive is so cool.
