He is a talented architect, famous for his afraid-so-daying rigidity and principles. He is not only good at designing houses, he has also designed his whole life. He believes that everything must be built on the foundation of the constant principles, especially on time.

His biological clock is more accurate than the Swiss nuclear clock: 7:00 am is a fixed breakfast, 8:00 am must be present. If he missed the traffic jam and arrived late at 8:01 a.m., his whole day would be considered a " system error" ( Error 404). He hated all sudden changes, considering them a malware that destroyed his perfection.

But when a project is delayed due to... fire prevention and fighting, it is necessary to repair the entire escape route in the 89th minute; or when a partner changes his mind at the last minute just because the boss reads a online article saying " gray is the color of depression"...

Immediately, a passion of anger flared up in his heart, he was so tense that the wrinkles on his forehead were deep, and his fingers unconsciously pressed the Ctrl+Z key continuously into the air, trying to cancel reality.

Meanwhile, her colleague designed the interior of the side table with full energy, changing the plan like changing clothes. One fateful Friday afternoon, the shopping mall project changed all the frontages. He shouted, questioning her while sipping milk tea, editing the drawing lightly: "Why are you so calm? This is a disaster!.

She shrunk: "Can I change the reality when I'm angry? I learned to live like a lyua tree along a lake, not struggling to resist the wind and storms but bending, following the wind to survive. And I look at things more positively, the plan changes, not a disaster, but a creative challenge. I release pressure through adaptation".

He went silent, realizing that the desire for an unchanging life was the source of dissatisfaction and chronic migraines. He was so busy implementing his rigid principles that he forgot how to survive and enjoy.

Since then, he has quietly update the software. Every time an incident occurs, instead of getting angry, he breathes deeply, finds an alternative without being impatient, and when he is patient, the solution comes immediately. And he began to see small joys pouring in, from traveling on the road, accidentally discovering a delicious porridge shop that was according to plan or taking an impromptu idea to save the project, like the top freestyle design.

He is still a talented architect, but now, he builds a life plan not only on solid concrete blocks, but also on sudden winds, with smiles, because life is an unfinished painting, waiting for the unexpected breakdown to perfect the aesthetics.
