Today marks 100 days until my retirement. I will retire on 30 June. Therefore, I will be writing about my daily life every day from today. I thought that the episode pushed me forward.

"It doesn't matter how many times you download Steven Ji's Stanford commencement address, you still look at it and decide not to do it," Smith told the TED audience. "You're afraid to pursue your passion. You're afraid to look ridiculous. You're afraid to try. You're afraid you may fail." - (Larry Smith -  University of Waterloo economics professor) Gallo, C.
