It doesn’t mean that I'd actually dig something out of the ground.

On the other hand, I’m fond of reading books, more of a bookworm where I managed myself in reading some pieces and to dig deep into Tibetan politics. Which doesn't mean that I want to become a politician but it's my sole responsibility to give my attention on Tibetan politics, where my country has been having a hard time under Chinese illegal occupation since 1959.  I always tried to contribute a bit but it never happened as I was expecting.

I’m grown up now, my learning appetite slowing down a bit and looking back; I don’t think I was ever a pioneer in anything I did. But I grew to realize that knowledge is a community, and my role would be to add a tiny grain of rice to the pile, which still keeps on exciting for me. Learning new things was the biggest passion of my life. Somehow, we should learn to accept that our passion isn't universal, but it's a matter of how we interpret our knowledge and feel the satisfaction at the end of our share might only benefit a few people.
