Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like…
Design is not just what it looks like and feels like.
Design is how it works.
—Steve Jobs, The New York Times, 2003
大多数人以为设计就是美感。
然而设计不仅是外观与感觉，
更在于它是如何解决问题的。

Dialogue 对话 🙊
When I first thought about communication, I equated it with talking.
If I could express my ideas, I believed I was communicating. Listening was not something I truly understood — let alone active listening.
Over time, I realized communication is much more than speaking.

When I was a student, I memorized Su Shi’s poem about Mount Lu. At that time, I only understood the surface: the mountain looks different depending on the angle.

I came across this traditional rhyme in a Uniqlo LifeWear magazine, and it instantly caught my eye. As someone from China, I had never heard it before. Out of curiosity, I searched for its background and discovered that it’s a Western wedding custom — a blessing for brides.

Why learn Chinese? / 为什么要学中文？
Honestly, we don’t have to. There are more than 7,000 languages in the world, and speaking just one is already enough for daily survival.
老实说，我们完全可以不学。世界上有7000多种语言，会其中一种，其实就足够生存了。
But here’s the deeper question: it’s not only about English, it’s about knowledge.

Yesterday, I went to the sports square for my usual run. Normally, I run 4K on weekdays and walk along the seaside on weekends — a routine that keeps both body and mind balanced. But yesterday was different. After the rain, the autumn air was fresh and cool, and I decided to push myself for 5K.

Multitasking Myth
Many people believe that productivity means doing many things at the same time. In reality, that’s the fastest road to burnout.

Everyone wants wealth because they think it’ll bring admiration. Truth is: people rarely admire—they just compare.
Real wealth = freedom, not attention.
Another gem from The Psychology of Money: the frugality mindset. Not just about money, but also time & energy.

Back in 2008, Apple introduced the unibody design on the MacBook — making it thinner, more durable, and super rigid. Now seeing the same unibody design applied to the iPhone feels amazing. Honestly, the first time I saw it, I was really impressed.

Apple never really tells you its design philosophy… but you can feel it in the products.
For me, the biggest one is: design is holistic.
It’s not just the look. It’s the whole system — hardware + software, form + function.

Sometimes the boss shares a big, complicated plan with middle managers. By the time it gets to us, it turns into a slogan like “just finish quickly.” All the details — risks, dependencies, background — vanish.

The Four Pillars of Lifelong Learning 🏛️
1️⃣ Learn from others
弟子不必不如师，师不必贤于弟子。 — 韩愈
A student is not always less capable than the teacher, and a teacher is not always wiser than the student. Everyone has their own strengths, and each learns in their own time.
