the knowledge and skills i have learned can not only play a role in office buildings, but also go deep into other corners of the world to help people there. whether you fly to the cloud or go deep into the earth, you and i are doing our best to make ourselves, our family, our motherland and the world better. there is no difference between the two ways, nor does it matter which one is more valuable. i'm glad that sufe taught me to look up, while geneva taught me to look down for the people who need help. i always believe that: people should bear multiple responsibilities as far as their abilities are concerned.
