Enjoy this life

I previously watch the Rockets’ games because of Yao Ming. I still like him, but I also like a lot Shane Battier. He seems to me a quiet type, but he always gets this key moment of a game, and he can grab it and turn the game around. He may not appear to be the glamorous one if you count the statistics, but he will always be there when you need him the most.

Battier has an endorsement deal with a Chinese sport shoe brand Peak. So he keeps a Chinese blog (http://blog.sina.com.cn/battier). It is kind of funny that his post is in English, and then there is a Chinese translation (his friend’s English is pretty impressive: the translation is very neat).

I enjoy reading his posts. I particularly like these thoughts he posted today:

“It is nights like those that make you realize that life is just not about your personal goals and performance. I believe that life is more about sharing and enjoying the journey of life with others that you respect and like to be around. You might have all the success in the world, but if you have no one to share it with, then the success you experience will not taste as sweet.

When times are tough and you might be struggling with different issues in life, it is the comfort and company of others that can help you through the difficult times and help you look forward to the better times. I am lucky I have people to share and enjoy the journey with on the Rockets.”
