I Judge Others, I Judge Myself

Lately I am thinking about how I see myself approving of other peoples action. When its something that I'm judging others, it translates to how I judge myself. The more I care about how others live their life, the more harsher I judge myself. I realise that if I dislike something, it means that when that happens to me I would dislike myself even more. There are things that I could learn to let go. And in turn I can love myself even more and have peace within me.

I noticed that when trying to prove a point, an enlightened leader would be one who argues on the main intention. Many times when I am challenged I would get sucked into the argument for argument's sake and lose sight of what the argument or discussion was really about. This happens when emotions come in. A cool and calm head is required and its something to keep reminding myself of.

I became aware of how my momentum with work often times get interrupted by all the traveling I'm doing and I have to start from scratch when I return. Now I have to learn to either let the starting process be shorter or not let the traveling interrupt the momentum.

Beijing is a place with incredible architecture. It is a city that has really evolved. But unlike Shanghai, at least there are still buildings with traditions intact but more and more as they bring in foreign architects the essence of the culture is potentially lost.

The government has imposed a fine for jay walkers in this city just to educate its people. It shows where the people are at when it comes to road awareness.

Today my intention is to feel the bricks that made up of the great wall as I visit it later. To understand and look briefly into the past of this wonder of the world.
