The First Lady

I was very interested in the news about next Taiwanese president's family. I am particularly interested in his wife. Though Ma is the mayor of Taipei, she takes bus to work every day, doesn't apply make up nor wear expensive jewelries. She is herself, wearing convervative style of clothes, taking bus to work every day. She could be the last person in Taipei possessing no mobile phone. She said "I will be either home or office, if you cannot find me there, I will be in a meeting and cannot answer the phone, no need to have a mobile". She is not considering leaving her job to become the full time first lady.

I like her right away. This is a person with value and independent thinking. She doesn't need to use her special status to make money, show off, be popular in order to feel she is better than any one else.

There is an old Chinese saying, if you don't have desire, you are invincible. Material desire easily destroys and corrupts people.
