I’m passionate about jogging and doing Pilates. I have accomplished 6 half marathons and taken Pilates class once a week since I was a high school student. Jogging is a kind of exercise that requires one to do alone. It trains one’s persistence and the ability to get alone with oneself. While jogging, I can temporarily get away from daily worries and even come up with some good ideas or solutions to the problem happening in my life. On the other hand, Pilates brings me serenity and energy. Its flows build up core muscles and the tempo train a more stable breath. To sum up, jogging trains my patience and persistence. Pilates, respectively, trains my core muscles. Both exercises bring huge positive effects to my mindset, allowing me to be calm and optimistic when tackling with problems. People don't know I'm good at I am quite good at taking care of dogs. I have kept a puppy for almost 12 years. The puppy grew from 3 months to 12 years old. We have developed companionship and strong emotional bond. Unfortunately, it was diagnosed with skin disease when it was 9 years old, causing it to feel itchy every moment. It scratches hard and sometimes even starts to bleed. The vet told us that the disease could not be cured but relieved. Since then, I spent even much time accompanying it and observe its needs carefully. The experience of keeping a puppy has cultivated my caring and love for animals especially dogs. Now I’m a volunteer at a dog shelter. I dedicated my time and efforts to the dogs living in shelter every weekend. I hope that one day there will be no stray dogs and cats on the streets, and people consider carefully when they are going to keep pets because keeping pets is also keeping promise to oneself.

What I care about most is helping people discover the things in themselves they cannot yet see — what I think of as their "unknown unknowns," the parts of ourselves we don't even know we're missing. (When I attended TED NEXT in 2025, this was the very topic I put on my badge as something I wanted to talk about.) I care about it because of my own life. I've found that my real growth, and my deepest sense of happiness, almost always came after a period of being stuck — when no new understanding could get in. Over time I realized why: it was my own mind that had closed the door. When we are tense or on guard, the mind quietly shields us from the very things we most need to see. What looks like the world blocking us is often us blocking ourselves. That is why this matters so much to me.

Literature (both reading and writing it), specially Fantasy and Sci-Fi; photography, my camera is just an extension of my body; social networks, I really love the way everyone can spread ideas and learn about others!
