Dear Taichung Happiers:

Let us thank John for having done an efficient job: hosting 2/2 gathering and writing the Minutes sooner than expected.

Greeting our beloved-but-not-so- often-met relatives and answering to their questions during Chinese New Year Holiday are in part self-discovery and in part self-creation. Harris brought the top ten “annoying” questions we may encounter during Chinese New Year Holiday. Those questions about our salaries, marriage, etc. are sometimes embarrassing because the expression of the concerns and unconscious comparison can create confusion. After all, the challenge of self-discovery and self-creation is a positive way to connect ourselves with a new year, isn’t it?

We promise to make our 2013, the Snake Year, better than 2012, and we’ll make good on the promise. Every time we smile, we make ourselves a little piece of luck, and since we are Happiers, we smile all the time. However our 9 days will sound, however our 9 days will smell, please remember to save some time for ourselves.

If you miss English too much during the holiday, here is the cure: http://fora.tv/2010/10/26/Lera_Boroditsky_How_Language_Shapes_Thought .
