....."我常常覺得人年紀大了不知道還有什麼用。
覺得長壽是一種多餘。
但是在老爹身上，我看到長壽者可以做什麼。
他們可以作夢。重新建構他們的一生。重新活一遍，
用他們所喜歡的方式。"

The above Chinese version is the last paragraph in famous
script-writer, Miss Yuan's blog. I have been free-zed my mind
in front of the monitor.

The phrase ....."人年紀大了不知道還有什麼用?"
sounds scaring. I have already cross the threashold and now
on the stage of that "Senior".

Am I useful and still contributing something to the society?

The answer is affirmative.

So far I have lived an active life not only for my self but
for my family. I have been in this business for almost 17 years.
Started as an green hand, I gradually accumulated knowledge
of small thing like doing janitor receptionist
plum-er electrician sewing machine operator house keeper
like the most above-mentioned jobs do not require profound
knowledge. In order to keep my brain working actively,
I started designing my own website 5 years ago and keep
renewing it from time to time. In 2003 the DHS
(Department of Health Service) started giving me headache
about my water system, I decided to prepare my
self to fight the system, if necessary, all the way to the
court. I watched every single step I have been moving and
recorded in e-mail and some time tape
recorded the necessary conversation with CA DHS official.
I am a law abiding citizen and will do every thing possible
within my capacity to follow the law.I am prepared,
if they make any mistakes which have been recorded
(in fact they do make mistakes) a legal action will be
taken to protect my interests. Rumor is that in this
county there is someone out there to get me and push me
out of business. All Their efforts has been in vein.
What they did not expect is I am too tough to be defeated.

Anyway the above expression is too far from the topic.
At this time I just do not have time to think about whether
I am useful or not. I have got full of life ahead of me.

Like my friend Daniel said:" I have got millions things
to do and I just feel that 24 hours a day is not enough to
finish my work. That is his spirit and so was mine.

As for "他們可以作夢。重新建構他們的一生。
重新活一遍，用他們所喜歡的方式。"
Both of my friend would not think of dreaming which
can not be accomplished.We have life target. After we
accomplish and reach the target we start to set
another one. 3 years ago, I told my wife that I was
going to buy the second house in Japan which had been
long time dream of her to spend the rest of life in Japan.
We did. from now on she will spend half year in Japan
and half year here. Frankly I am not ready yet. Junior
knows me and he is kind of agreeable with his
old-man by keeping my brain and body busy until
I give it up. I already set up my next target.
You may call it a dream but I call it "goal."

This is how I feel after reading your article.
