【琐事】

　　一只鼬鼠要与一只狮子决战，狮子果断地拒绝了。鼬鼠说：“你害怕了吗？”狮子说：“如果答应你，你就可以得到曾与狮子比武的殊荣；而我呢，以后所有的动物都会耻笑我竟和鼬鼠打架。”

　　-—不要被不重要的人和事过多打搅，因为成功的秘诀就是抓住目标不放，而不是把时间浪费在无谓的琐事上。

I glad that I choose my own inner peace than to continue to struggle over my lost of wealth. I have not lost the valuable inner peace and courage within me, instead I gained clarity.

The most absurd "solution" which a friend gives is to go to the FBI to handle the situation, since that guy is from UK. I know he is trying to help. But deep in my heart,"You think we are shooting drama, is it? All I want is to put my mind back to peaceful state."

This is what I replied to him: "It's alright. If this is a fraud case, he will be caught. If his case is genuine, he will be fine one day. There's no reason for malaysian police to keep him as he already serve his notice.

As for my money, it will come back to me in another form, so I already let go this incident.

Between money and peace, I choose peace of mind. Thanks for your kind offer, I don't need it anymore."

I thought through carefully what I needed to do for me to move on in these 2 days. Instead of still harping on the lost money, which I can't do much about it, I redirect my focus and energy into my projects and people that I care about. I am thankful that the most people around gave me good advice and let me see the whole picture better.

You know what, I slept well after I decided to let go of the lost money. My existing and new clients come to ask me to help them with the design projects.
