I remember how I would be driving to work and someone would cut me off in traffic and as a result my mood changed all the way till work. I would arrive at work in a bad mood and for what? Something so stupid and irrelevant. That is when I realised I had to develop a higher level of thinking. I can't go through life letting such things have an effect on me.

These days I am inconvenienced a lot, such is life in China but my mantra is "it is what it is". I am rarely fazed by the inconveniences now and am rather grateful to be living a life with so many options that less fortunate don't have.
