No No

Often someone would ask me, “Being a short lady, how can you be so energetic?” I usually answer cockily that I am a little sun myself. However, to me, I really mean what I say because it’s my wish to extend my sincere heart, for as long as I live, to friends who don’t know me or friends who I don’t know in the hope that everyone is able to find the radiance and enthusiasm of his/her life from my energy.

Of course, you don’t need to pay for the energy, but please remember to replicate another “little sun” to pass on this energy once you’ve got it.
