"走自己的路" vs "观察他人随机应变"，这两条看似矛盾的道理，其实都是对的。具体的选择取决于目标和context i.e. depends on the kind of game you are playing. 而且它们也不是非黑即白的关系。人生的纠结很多时候源于不明确自己的目标。如果一个人发自内心觉得“我是为了健康和快乐而跑步”，也不会因为八分配速发朋友圈被diss而觉得不爽吧——当然，追求social validation也是可以的。大大方方去做就行。最纠结、最不可取的就是那种以”走自己的路“为借口掩盖自己鸵鸟心态、暗戳戳又很想跟他人较劲的人了。
这些都是读大迫杰《跑过、烦恼过、才能发现的事》时的所思所想。再次感叹，教条和鸡汤都是half-truth，知其然、不知其所以然是多么危险。最近似乎流行“二手读书”的潮流 i.e. 不读书，而读别人的总结。这固然是一种筛选信息的方式，但是如果我没有亲自去读这本书（感觉像是抚摸一片树叶的纹理），恐怕是不会想到这些的。
不过话说回来，人不同的选择背后，其根源还是不同的objective function。沉浸读一本书、spending time with the author好比是抚摸一片树叶的纹理，但是也不是每一片树叶都值得我的时间。
毛姆Books and You提到两大原则：1) Read for fun or for profit (换言之，不要为了impress别人而读书） 2) 敢于止损，没有必要read a book from cover to cover. 今年这两条原则都贯彻得不错。

强风吹拂（三浦紫苑）
虽然它的主题是长跑，但这却是一本让我反思我自己跟数学、数据科学关系的一本书。
最持久的动力应该是热爱，而不是意志力、恐惧和虚荣心。高手在自己的领域里都给人一种随心所欲、游戏的感觉。外界看来是“刻苦”(a sense of obligation)，但是他们都知道自己是在享受(a sense of wonder)。2014年的我第一次去报研究生的research methodology，也不过是出于本心的热爱和好奇罢了。
The Mandai Loop trip as told to my co-workers did not happen (because I stupidly forgot to bring my helmet). What transpired instead was a ride to Singapore-Malaysia border...with many small parks in between.
Upper Seletar Resevoir.
Admiralty park. Wondering how many lizards were hidden in the deep.
At the border!
The trip would not have been possible without Singapore’s excellent park connector network, public infrastructure and preservation of nature. Like clean air and water, the merits of this city state are so easily taken for granted. All the Putins and Saakashvilis of the world, who aspire to be the next Lee Kuan Yew, should heed his teachings in taking care of his people. If you are going to be a dictator, at least use your power for good.
Also - I don’t think I will ever want to live in a car-dependent society again.

Nongsa was beautiful, yet the trip itself was decidedly a letdown. Much of the time was spent inside the (inadequately managed) resort itself. The weather was prohibitively hot, and the lack of public transportation, combined with reckless motorcyclists, made it unfeasible to access other beaches and sightseeing spots.
Practical lessons
Do not stay in all-inclusive resorts next time. You do not come here to explore the hotel; you come here to explore the island. Yet sometimes poor public infrastructure and lack of walkability made it prohibitively difficult to choose otherwise.
Plan better next time. There has to be another way.
Research on bike rentals.
Seriously consider getting a motorcycle license, and dress more conservatively for your own safety. You are a female solo traveller, after all.
It was a good idea to bring a water bottle.
Many questions, not enough answers
What does it mean to travel like an urban planner? The idea came to me while listening to a podcast interview of Jeff Speck, writer and advocate of walkable cities. Have been friends with a few urban planning/architecture majors, I have always wondered if they saw the world differently than us. Just like an art history student would catch details easily ignored by sloppy outsiders, urban planners, architects and even investment bankers (i.e. Jim Rogers) would surely have been more sophisticated and insightful travelers.
Cetaceans, especially the heart-breaking story of Tilikum.
The ethics of all-include resorts
It feels good to have a mission, a cause to fight for.
Individual action on climate change (link)
In general, higher consumption lifestyles have a greater environmental impact, with the richest 10% of people emitting about half the total lifestyle emissions...
Although having fewer children is arguably the individual action that most effectively reduces a person's climate impact, the issue is rarely raised, and it is arguably controversial due to its private nature.
...Purchasing well-made, durable clothing, and avoiding "fast fashion" is critical for reducing climate impact.
