Age is Just a Number: Your Life, Your Rules
Breaking Free from the Timetable and Embracing Your Own Path
There's no need to tie every life goal to a specific age. The real essence of life lies in experiences, perceptions, and growth. It's a misconception that certain things must be done at certain ages. In fact, your true life journey begins when you discover your passions.
As Mr. Yang Jiang wisely said, "The greatest motivation for hard work is the ability to choose your own life, rather than being chosen by it."
Your future is entirely shaped by the choices you make today. Make those choices repeatedly, without hesitation, to shield yourself from life's unpredictable storms.
Don't fear slow progress; fear stagnation. This reminder keeps me moving forward. Regret is a common part of life. When you encounter something you want to pursue, don't let fear of slow progress or late starts hold you back. The worst fear is inaction.
A single drop of water can't penetrate a stone, but persistent drops can wear it away over time.
Work diligently to let your light shine, and the right people will be drawn to it.
Thank you for reading!

Winter Up High
Upon the North, where winter holds its sway, The frigid nights descend with solemn grace, A silent, diamond dust along the way, And moonbeams carve the shadows of the place. The wind, a ghost that whispers through the pines, Doth chill the very breath that leaves the lip, The ground is bound by frosted, silver lines, And stars, like scattered jewels, their vigil keep. The long dark hours demand a sheltered rest, Where firelight dances on the hearth's warm stones, And weary souls are welcomed to the nest, To chase the biting cold from blood and bones. Yet in this chill, a stark, pure beauty lies, Reflected in the vast and endless skies.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.
