2007

2007年過去了，又是一年。回憶的時候總覺得時間好快，一年一年就這樣過去了。

2007應該是之後回憶中關鍵的一年吧，上半年還是個在職場中打滾的員工，下半年又回到了校園當個學生，還是跟台灣距離了八個時區的英國。

在書店工作將近四年，從92/10到96/6。當初進書店工作是個美麗的意外，不過沒想到竟然待了快四年，並不算短啊。相較於其他的工作，在書店工作的薪水還真不多，不過書店的工作滿有趣，可以接觸到很多的人事物，也不枉走這一遭。

出國念書，其實並不是倉促的決定，早在大學的時候就有這樣的念頭。當初還對未來要走的路搖擺不定，就連國內的研究所都不想考，更不要說出國了。在沒下定決心的時候，繼續唸下去也只是浪費時間，所以就去當兵跟就業。

工作了這幾年，也知道自己的想要走的路，依舊不是大學念的資訊，而是跟在書店這幾年工作比較相關的。文化創意產業，聽起來就是很搞不清楚在幹啥，總而言之，就是將創意及文化轉化為商品或服務，可以產生獲利並可永續經營，同時兼顧營利與提升生活品質的領域。陳義甚高且虛無飄渺，不過我認為這是台灣未來該走的路，也就給他走下去了。

為了充實相關知識，也就包袱款款給他跑到英國來了，在這會待個兩年，等學成歸國也是2009後半年了。

As the years went on, time has gone by amazingly fast when you recollect that. 2007 was over and just a year again.

2007 will be a milestone in my life. I was a worker in the bookstore in the first half of 2007. However, I went back to school in UK where is faraway from Taiwan about 8 time zone in the last half of 2007.

I got a job in bookstore was a beautiful accident. From Oct. 2003 to Jun. 2007, I worked in bookstore almost 4 years that was not a shot period. Compared with other job, the wages in bookstore is not satisfied. Otherwise, working in bookstore is fascinating. I contacted with many interesting events and people that is a glorious experience.

Studying abroad was not a hasty decision that was first in my mind when I was a university student. In the reason I didn't make sure what I want to do at that moment. I did not go to the graduate school in Taiwan, much less study abroad. Studying further was waste of time when I did not make a decision. Therefore, I finished my compulsory military service and got a job first.

After the experience in bookstore, I found the way I want to go. That is still not about IT that is my major in university, in other hand, is about the experience in bookstore. Creative industry is a indistinct phrase. In brief, that is about transforming creativity or culture into product or service to make profit and sustainability. That is a sector about not only making profit but also improving the living quality. It seems too fuzzy and empty, but I think that is the next step in Taiwan.

In order to learn about creative industry, I packed my baggage and went to UK. I will spend two years studying in UK, after that will be the time at Sep. 2009.
