Passionate friends

Is it still easy to maintain your passion these days? For myself, interest shifts so rapidly that I no longer consider myself reliable for any long-term investment. I know I told you I'm learning Arabic - now I'm not; I'm learning drums - now I gave up; I'm learning sign language along with French - might pause until I actually plan my Paris trip; where is the tattoo I've been nagging you about? - still lying in some remote design book, not on my body yet, sorry. Yet I did meet a number of people who remain strongly interested in their original choices.

R.K., the lady that somehow persuaded me to attend EB conference 2 years ago, is still actively working on her nutrition topics. 

C.M.,a friend from Boston, is happy with his own catering business, his Qi-gong practice, and is also quite absorbed in nutrition science. From as far as I know, he is now self-learning antioxidants. He also participates in weekly nutrition seminar in Boston. 

R.F.K.and M.N.,two of the people I admire the most who's of our age. Currently working in Bangladesh on their projects. Positiveness, persistence, and smartness.

D.T, works on interesting nutrition topics. Good luck with her proposal regarding nutrition and school performance involving schools in China.

JH.R. and K.K., my dear bosses, I should've listen to your suggestions. Yet I don't regret my current choice - it's one (unnecessary?) step of struggle. But I do believe every step in life means something. Hope you're well in India/Switzerland.

HL.Z., K.P.W., J.G., Y.W....Hmmm the profs who greatly inspired me. I know Y.W always caution me against my scattered interest - 'have a big picture!' he would say. Sad but true, every inevitable turning event in life is yet another valid support of his theory. I've been resilient, thinking I know what I want. But I do NOT.

Only mentioned the people in my field. Lex bro, is the one I need to always contact and seek opinions from. I've been doing self-introspection this week, following his advises. This post is nothing but rambling. Yet I think I'm good to go from here. Talking to L.C. this Friday will clarify my mind, hopefully. He is working extensively on clinical side of nutrition. Interesting projects. I do not intend to drift too far away. NOOOOOO.

The Blue Ladies, by Ben Mosley, a sport artist from London. Wish him all the best in his career. These blue cheer leaders definitely caught my heart.
