Vesta Cocoon Diary: Correction Return
Photo by Jose Antonio Gallego Vázquez on Unsplash August 19, 2021 Maybe it’s because more people are getting vaccinated, which has slowly brought the epidemic under control, or maybe time is still pushing people around the world forward, and we will eventually get back to the normal track of daily life...

"Vista Cocoon Diary": First-class people know how to make choices
Photo by Michelle McEwen on Unsplash August 18, 2021 There is a popular saying in recent years: "Children make choices, adults want everything!" In fact, this sentence comes from the very familiar Stephen Chow movie "The Official", a classic line from the world's best urban police hunter, the leopard-headed Thunder Leopard. This sentence sounds very domineering, but in fact we all know that in the world of adults, it is difficult to really want everything, and many times we have to make choices.

Vesta Cocoon Diary: The Power of Writing
Photo by Maxim Ilyahov on Unsplash August 13, 2021 Since the epidemic became severe, I have been working from home for more than three months! Staying at home has its pros and cons. For example, I have lost some weight recently because I eat normally; but also because I lack interaction with the outside world, I am even more indifferent to the passage of time. Just like the weekends that many office workers longed for in the past, they don't mean much to me. Although it is Friday, there is st...

Photo by SJ . on Unsplash August 9, 2021 Friends who often read my newsletter must know that as long as the weather conditions permit, I will always go out for exercise at 5:30 every morning.

Vesta Cocoon Diary: Father’s Day
Photo by Peter Dlhy on Unsplash August 8, 2021 Today is the annual Father’s Day. Every year on this day, I always miss my father especially. But to put it bluntly, Taiwan seems to be the only one in the world celebrating Father’s Day today.

Moreover, in terms of glyph, when the two characters "八八" are concatenated together, it looks like the character "father". Therefore, August 8 ...
