No. There's no white board

Another quip from kaiyi ...

We were watching the Olympic swimming event the other day.

"Kaiyi, is that how you swim in your swimming class?"

"No. See, there's no white board."

In her world view, everyone swims with a board.

Nothing is perfect

I remembered reading about in Japanese flower arranging, it is common to have one of the branches bent or broken. This is an attempt to present the arrangement is a "natural" state. It is this imperfection that makes it perfect.

It is always easy to see that we are not perfect. But we tend to be more critical on others' imperfection. At the workplace, it is not uncommon to find someone who sets such a high expectation on others, but expect so little from himself.
