能不能，轉身就遠行 by Cher
Start date: November 2, 2025 End date: November 5, 2025 30 開始明白夢想是什麼，就是找一種快樂又簡單的方式去生活…走在自己喜歡的路上 57 獨自旅行第一件事情，就是要學會跟自己做朋友 72 不要以為別人依賴著你，就非心不甘情不願付出不可，不要以為自己多厲害，非要改變別人的選擇不可，我們都是其他人路上的過客 76 我是一個人，卻也從未真正一個人，學著在陌生人群中歡笑，卻也明白那種笑容有種久違的陌生 94 流浪根本不需要學習，在路上自己就會為夢想找到出路 128 家也只是一個港口，不過是讓你可以停泊比較久的港口 130 在不同的港口間，找一個屬於自己的家 184 只要背起背包去認識陌生旅人，一樣可以從不同的旅人身上去了解世界 201 遇到不合適的旅伴就當是修行，好相處的旅伴就當作是天上掉下來的禮物

Fun money (update)
I decided to change the way to allocate fun money, from once a year to once a month. Problem of fun money with “leftover” from annual savings: With allocating in each income cycle, the purpose is to act as a reminder to refocus whatever the purchase is. There’s a goal to save towards to and…

Fill in your identity here
Yellow highlight from page 219, Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins. Filling in my identity after rejections on documentation management system implementation. Product Marketing: this would disrupt the workflow; IT: Sharepoint is USD$ 2,000 per terabyte, no budget. Okay. Time to get back to work.
