<h1>Do I really love my research direction?</h1>
When I was young, I harbored dreams of becoming a pilot or aircraft designer, but my high myopia made this path unattainable. However, this setback led me to find a different kind of ‘cloud’ to contribute to - cloud computing. Emotionally, I see parallels between cloud computing and airplanes: both serve as carriers, transporting passengers or network packets from sources to destinations. My curiosity extends beyond the technicalities of the human element - how these journeys impact people’s lives and emotions. I recall a poignant moment on a flight where a passenger behind me wept over a relative’s health issue. It was then that I wished I could have the ability to build faster networked systems, capable of conveying human sentiments and concerns more swiftly. This experience fueled my aspiration for cloud computing to evolve beyond a mere technological marvel. I envision it as a medium that not only enhances efficiency but also connects and empathizes with human emotions.
