One man's fault is another man's lesson.

前车之覆，后车之鉴。

We make mistakes every day, large or small, failures or faux pas.

But failure and mistakes still don't feel like an awesome learing opportunity.

I know it is my shortcomings that make me unique and I should embrace the stumbles and screw ups.

But it is really a big challenge for me and for many of us.

We live and act in ways to prevent mistakes, not taking risks, expanding our comfort zones or jumping outside the boxes we hide in.

But our mistakes and failures can be considered as gifts, gems, guidepoints in our learing as well.

Try to learn and grow up through our failures and mistakes, they not only make us uniquely who we are, but also can teach us powerful lessons.

But how to? I always feel upset when things didn't go as I had expected, I know I can learn something from them, but those frustrating feelings really made me so disappointed with life.

I love you not for who you are, but for who I am with you.

我爱你不是因为你是谁，而是我在你面前可以是谁。

From Edward Scissorhands.

Edward Scissorhands is really one of the best movies I have ever watched.

The sad but beautiful love between Edward and Kim had given me quite strong impressions.

And in the reality, I also have witnessed many deep love that can transcend time, space, age, even race.

But for myself, I would be not extravagantly hoping to have such kind of love, it is enough for me to meet with my lover. 

In other's opinion, she is not beautiful, she is not charming, but in my eyes, she is the one who always makes me feel comfortable when staying with her.

Ok, I mean, she is the best one for me.

So, I must strive hard to give her a bright future, a happy and wealthy life.

I promise:

Now she will feel no rain for I will be the shelter to her;

Now she will feel no cold for I will be warmth to her;

And there is no more loneliness, because we will be companion to each other.

Though we are two bodies, there is only one life before us.

May our days be good and long upon the earth.
