old guy, new friend

I recently met a guy who graduated from Chung Gun University, majoring in engineering. Since he graduated, he had been an agent in the tech company, which demands high capability of English. Therefore, he had sharpened his English there. But at last, he realized that the degree of mere bachelor of a private school is not efficient to be used as an important employee. Then he went back to studies, preparing for the master's degree.

Interesting as it was, we met each other in the Hot Music Club Office, and started our conversation from the common point that we are both from Taichung, and graduated from the I-Chung senior high. We chatted about how our school has been changed, how the vendors in the vicinity of I-Chung has shifted, and.... We talked a lot. But at last we did not leave each other's profiles before saying good-bye. There was little regret for that people that I encounter I take them just as a flow in my daily life river.

But yesterday, as I was surfing on the BBS in C.G.U., I found a topic named, "Finding the rookies." From the article, I deduced immediately that he was the senior that I met there. But at that moment, the main impression he gave me was that he is a great drummer and bassist. However, it changed soon after I have a long chat with him on MSN. Because I had done a silly thing and caused a big problem in the Hot Music Club Office, I was "famous" for the event. He regconized my ID right away after I joined him as my best friend in MSN. And he started to cheer me, hoping that I was not frustrated by that event. He then talked a lot of philosophy from how to handle the relationship to how to become a moderate leader. Those points really inspired me a lot and what he said happened to be correspont to waht I had been desired to say, but unable to say them in sentences. We chatted for more than a hour, which is really different from the hour of the past I chatted with others.(The topics when I am with my classmates are always gossipy.)At last, he encouraged me to be a person who does not stays up and make use of the morning to study, which reminded me again.

From yesterday's talk, I gradually realized the idiom in Chinese, " friends of ignoring age." For the reason that we can get the experience from the old, and not to be tripped by the same mistake they had done, or we can set the old as a model to follow. After I know him, I see my future goals more clearly, and therefore I wrote on my MSN condition, " Gradually, I find the "pick"(the gimmick for guitarist, which is really important.) of my life"
