Early Bird 手快有,手慢晤

In English legend, only early bird will catch worm. A Japanese artist made this picture. When I first saw it, immediately loved it. This bird is struggling for survival on the withered tree, maybe early or late. It may be myths of my life, as I do everything for myself is late. For example, when I realised my life had to go on, I was 33 after 8 years depression from my husband death. When I realised I had to get a master, I was 38 when most people said to me not to quit my career for learn overseas; When I realised I need to plan for savings, I was 40 and unemployed; When I realised I need a stable my own space, I was not enough money to afford it. When I realised I need a medical insurance for my elderly life, but nowhere to get one in HK. When I face this late situation, I seem as same as this bird. So, I give myself an another name, the late bird. Whatever early or late, the spirit for making life excellent can’t be ignored. Learning from own realisation is never too late.
