It's the third day of the Mid Autumn Festival on September 12 in 2022. I invite several friends whom are my workmates to hold a party. Seeing my stomach like a ball in the restaurant, with smiling, my elder daughter said, dear my dad, would you like to decrease your weight? How wonderful you are if you change to be handsome. I'd suggest you do for it from now, won't you?
2022年9月12日，中秋节第三天，我邀请几个朋友开个节日Party。席间，大女儿看着我圆滚滚的肚皮，笑着说：“肖叔，您减肥吧？您要是把肚皮减下去了，那该多好啊！我建议您从明天开始，好吗？”

I don't think that she will dislike and avoid me. Conversely, she who is my daughter, she love me very much, she want me to be health till old enough. The  hidden and core reason is that she loves her mother. She don't prefer to left her mother alone when her mother is old. I see her advice as an encouraging for me. I get her suggestion. That is really a challenge for me. I think that I can do it. And I must do it. I can't make my families to be worried because of my health.
我并不认为她是嫌弃我。相反地，她是我的爱女，她很爱我，她希望我直到老都健康。有一个隐秘而又核心的原因是她很爱她的妈妈，她不希望妈妈老年的时候没有伴侣，孤独终老。我视她的建议为鼓励并接受了她的建议。那确实是一个挑战。我想我能而且必须那么做。我不能让家人因为我的健康而担忧。

I promise aloud, actually, I set a flag that I must decrease my weight at least ten killograms before the new year comes. My weight is 89.7 kg this morning. After the party, my weight changes to be 91.4 kg this night. My goal is to be less than 79.7 kg during these 110 days. Is it very difficult? Of course it is.
我大声承诺，事实上我立下了一个Flag: 在新年来临之前减肥至少10kg。今天早上空腹89.7公斤，今天晚上饱腹91.4公斤。我的目标就是在110天之内变成低于79.7公斤。难吗？当然。

As a promise, it's difficult to be fulfilled. Why? It's like a debt. The day I must fulfill my promise like a debt maturity. It will depress me seriously. People always don't welcome that day. Just because it is very hard, people always end up giving it up. We may look these people as a dishonest person. Who can trust him?
作为一个承诺，兑现承诺是困难的。为什么呢？因为“承诺”就像是一个债务。我必须兑现承诺的那一天就像一个债务到期日,压得我喘不过气来。人们总是不喜欢债务到期日。正因为很难，人们总是最终放弃兑现承诺。我们可能视这样的人为不守信用的人。谁信任这样的人呢？

As a flag, I can go toward to it everyday. I can next to it unlimited and even go through it. I hardworking to make a conclusion by my rules. I search for principles that suitable for me. I look for ways I must go. I keep going because there is a flag I must reach. During these 110 days, I have a goal must be reached, it's my short-term flag. I have the energy to persue my long-term flag. I can also have the ability to reach my short-term flag. I must be a reliable person. For me, for the others, too. My decision is not a Promise but a Flag.
作为一面旗帜，我可以每天向着它而行。我可以无限地接近它,甚至超过它。我努力总结我的规律，我搜寻适合我的原则，我寻找我必须走的路径。我持续奋斗,因为我有一个Flag。在这110天里，我有一个必须到达的目标,一个短期Flag。我有动力去追求我的长期Flag。我也有能力去达成我的短期Flag。我必须做一个靠谱的人 ----  一个对自己、对别人都靠谱的人。我选择：这不是一个承诺，而是一个Flag。
