I have been trying to combine Spanish "alegría" (zest for life) with American belief in freedom, as well as Greek "eudaimonism", and Swiss efficiency. Hong Kong adds the beauty of a multicultural society. And in my heart, I have always been Chinese.
Perhaps happiness is always to be found in the journey uphill, and not in the fleeting sense of satisfaction awaiting at the next peak.
A little carefull kindness goes a long way.
