🙋♂️: Why did you suddenly decide to learn massage? 💯: 1️⃣: In May this year, I attended a ten-day retreat on Lantau Island and realized the importance of taking care of my body, mind, and spirit. During those ten days, I learned to find inner peace through breathing, but I asked myself: how can I make my body feel comfortable too? I thought of massage and yoga, and ultimately chose the former. 2️⃣: Over the past two years, many of my friends have wanted to leave Hong Kong, and I’ve often had the same thought. So, I wanted to learn a practical skill that would allow me to survive anywhere in the world. I believe that besides Apple phones and Coca-Cola, massage is another universal language in this world. 3️⃣: This is the most important reason. I read a book about philosophy, and the author mentioned that everyone pursues happiness differently, but it generally falls into three categories: power, achievement, and affiliation. I am absolutely certain that my happiness comes from relationships with others. After learning massage and returning to Hong Kong, the first thing I did was massage my family and close friends. The person who needed it the most was my best friend, whom I’ve known since I was 15 and who is now my tennis coach. Due to his work, he exercises almost every day, so his legs are often very tired. That night, after having hot pot, I helped him relax his leg muscles, and suddenly, all the hard work and sweat from learning in Thailand felt completely worth it. Next time, I’ll share the fun story of massaging my mom after I returned from my training.
