Today, I realized something. My answer is like that because I have no clue what I'm going to do in life. I don't love money, I don't have a goal, I don't really have a career path as of now...
Almost 21 and I'm still clueless, this is not cool.
Alexander the Great was proclaimed King by the Macedonians at the age of 20. He pacified Greece and planned to enter Persia by the age of 21.
Sun Ce conquered most of Southeastern China and was enfeoffed as Marquis of Wu at the age of 20.
Date Masamune carried out his revenge against his father's murderers, killed his brother to take power, and conquered most of Oshu by the age of 22.
Do I not have ambitions?
I do, so I need to create a list of things I will like to accomplish within the next 60 years of my life:
-Bike around Taiwan island
-Trace my roots in Shantou and Fuzhou
-Spend a significant amount of time traveling around China
-Spend a significant amount of time traveling around Japan
-Spend a significant amount of time traveling around Europe
-Cross the United States from Pacific to Atlantic
-Make a legendary personal website
-Make an ass-kicking physical portfolio
-Write and publish a book
-Open an exhibition
-Paint something taller and wider than myself
-Be vegetarian for at least 1 year
-Read and understand all of the Four Books of Confucianism: 1)Great Learning, 2)Doctrine of the Mean, 3)Analects of Confucius, 4)Mencius
-Read the Four Great Classical Novels in Chinese: 1)Romance of the Three Kingdoms, 2)Water Margin, 3)Journey to the West, 4)Dream of the Red Chamber
-Attend a 1)concert, 2)opera, and 3)performance of immense cultural significance
-Buy a studio for my mother and I
-Do some intense charity work
-Teach and spread morals and ethics in some way
-Find the most beautiful woman and talk to her about love, life, and wisdom
Yea, I'll add to it when I feel like it.
Love life,
Kevin Han-Chia Chen

Whoooa-- getting a little sentimenty there aren't you? It's okay, you're not alone-- you'll find that perfect path sooner or later, there's no rush!
And a veggie-terian, I'd been THIS close to converting as well. But couldn't, since I'm so picky. But I believe that you can do it! Nike's slogan: JUST DO IT.
