2021 New Year‘s Resolution

前言：按 Frank 留下的传统，每年都应该用英文写一篇 New Year’s Resolution。很巧的是，我似乎知道去年必定会因各种糟事而一事无成，所以去年没有写；当然实际上是因为懒。值此特殊年份，又恰逢去年没写，所以今年这个传统我一定要延续。惭愧的是，本人英语水平已经并且还将继续经历断崖式下降，故敬请谅解其中语言的不顺；当然中文水平也好不到哪里去，也请不要在意这前言写得如何如何了。

Be a warrior, not a soldier

--- 2021 New Year's Resolution

  When referring to a soldier, besides his sacredness, we consider more the disciplines and his dedication. General Napoleon said, “a soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier”. How many folks could be a general though? So I’d say that a soldier who wants to be a warrior may be a good soldier.

  What do I mean by a warrior? The first glimpse of a warrior may be about bravery and capability that distinguish himself from a soldier at least. More crucial, a warrior lives on his capability of being decisive — slightly deflected from disciplines, and of shouldering the aftermaths. For this aspect, a warrior is not a general maybe, but a general is a warrior, however, a partial one…

  I’m always regrading that one is expected to finish his target even if he did it kneeling down, from which the importance of being a warrior emerges. Since we have made through to today’s stage, only can we go on, without unnecessary retrospects if possible.

  Different from that in 2019 (if my memory severs me well), in this resolution there won’t be things about the future, because of the amount of uncertainty. The only thing I’d like to tip myself is that we need to just be up-to-date, or we are abandoned finally.

  Less words don’t mean less information, taste the bittersweet on your own, warrior! Time to conclude the solution yourself.

  And it’s a chance to catch my flow, me in the future.
