The best way to travel is not going to plan to much at all.
I personally do not like to follow the group to travel the other country because the trip will become too commercialised. I am not a good consumer, shopping in the mall my hands still is empty; and the money packet is still pretty full.
When I traveled, I did not plan attentively, but I would choose a place where has less people. I want to go to somewhere where is very quiet existing serenity. I have been staying in the city too long, seeing too many people on the street. Even though I take my time off moving around the meadows, my phone still receive the working message on WhatsApp. Sometime, my productivity is actually of up, my thinking can become more clear going to somewhere where the nature is.
The best way to travel is not going to plan too much. However, sometime I have to travel with family that I need to pay attention on the elders and the young child. There is an age consideration for everyone to get the equitable traveling experience. I know it is troublesome. When I am long, I could just rent a car to go to somewhere where I am not familiar with.
I also prefer to stay in one particular place, booking a hotel to stay longer. Moving too much, is not taking a break. Everything suppose to be smooth and easy. The rushing travel experience would choke on my breath not being able to focus on the concept of Be here now.
In the end, I do not travel attentively; and prefer travel lazily.
Your networks are your net-worth. This is the statement my friend said to me before I left New York City in February.
It is a true statement; and a successful business requires a successful network connecting with the right person to do the right thing. I have met lots of unprofessional dilettantes and slimy people in work. It is difficult to trust a person since everyone has an interest in the will of the wealth.
I found out a lot of people would like to earn the instant of wealth by earning lots of money at once. They do not have patient focusing on how to cultivate a successful business partnership. I am not denying this is not a success way to make money. It is only lucky minority people could do that by luck. For example, how many short sellers actually can beat the money now in this day?
It is important to improve my human capital improving the value of myself. This will help me to speak the words indicating the thoughtful value that would help me to meet the person who has the same goal. The journey is not easy; and that I need to be along first. Why this can help? Because a successful entrepreneur would work with other successful entrepreneurs. This is the reason why successful companies would work with successful companies. There is no easy part to success which world takes time. Once, an individual can be able to speak thoughtful sentences; and this will show his or her competence having the patient to master to this level; also this is a reflection of credit for an individual showing success does not have short cut.
It is very shitty to meet with new people in the first time. Because you do not know whether the person is a good person or evil person trying to stab you on your back. I therefore think it is critical that we need to be strategically working on the networking. Not to be cordial at first, showing the professionalism to tell the people there is no bullshit. Then if the new acquiescence has an interest in working on a project. Start from small, and then gradually to build up. Indeed, you can tell if a person did not read enough by speaking to them in the beginning of the first couple sentence, as long as you have been reading all the time.
Once we start the project step by step; and then we will start to build up the trust. Then, the projects will more likely to reach the success.
The definition of success is more than just material; and also spiritual that even if business fail; and that the participants has reached spiritual success, and this will forge a new friendship to start next project.
A successful business is not about make money instant success, it is about how to build a community to help everyone to survive in society.
Seeing white people get along well with each other.
Seeing black people get along well with each other.
Seeing Asian people do not get along well each other.
I ask myself why Asian people do not like each other. I remember I was 21. I was at the in the band in the party house. Playing in the band, boosted my social networks. The Japanese students visited in our party house. Of course, it was awesome that the girls would cook some food for us while introducing their culture. Then, I was packing my electronic piano, seeing a Japanese student chatting very friendly with my bandmate. My bandmate said hi to me. And then suddenly, the weird thing happened, that Japanese student was becoming upset. Maybe, because my yellow skin could get along with the white guy then stirring up the jealousy. This is a very strange thing; and the memory of this is still live on my mind.
The second thing happened, regarding on the question of why Asian people do not like each other. There is a company that I used to serve for providing the service becoming a mediator; and more than just a mediator that I was developing the business project. The boss did not know how to speak English. I was engaging in the business project with the clients. The clients are Indonesians. We were chatting very well, getting the project to almost completion. But the boss was not happy, because I was getting along with the clients very well. I thought maybe my dark skin that transcends my identity to become part of south East Asian- Pan Asian movement. That I could connect with this part of the world very well.
The third thing happened regarding on Asian people do not like each other. I was working on the project steady, reporting to my family for what I have been working on. Even though my results are not good, I could provide the strong statements connecting with the executive. My relatives were upset my behaviors. One of the relatives who I used to think I can be close with that he obtained a prestigious US degree. I thought, as long as I can provide a great intellectual insight then we can achieve a better successful consequence. In turn out, he would cut me off for every single opportunity. I have been doubting, why Asian family relative needs to hurt each other, in order to display the Asian culture of depressive ancient tale drama, that ancient princes need to kill each other in order to claim the Emperor seat.
Above these phenomenon I can think of , in theory, the Asian people do not like each other because…
The Asian society always has strong discipline for children that they need to be competitive, achieving materialistic success. The soul immerse more on materialism; and that the segregation of the oneself, more likely happy. Because collective human interaction is the part of human nature of instinct. Survival comes from the will of the community bonding on each other.
The past of colonial culture always imposed on the Asian people. British colonial imperialist culture had established the concept of indirect rule, establishing the voice of the minority who is more like them, ruling their community. This position became incasing competitive during the British empire. This culture gradually evolve to become western academic institutional admission. Asian children need to competitive to go to Harvard and Oxford, determining who is smart enough to go there. This culture is increasing toxic for children coming from Asian family, even though the strong discipline of the education can build a good foundation, it would erode the children human nature the right to be oneself. The constant pressure on the competition will eventually result in jealousy for the future generation, which more likely leading to an individual to commit radical act and bad mental health.
I advocate letting the kid to be oneself, is the right to be self-determination.
I made a decision to relinquish a business project that I can potentially make lots of money. The business project is almost complete 75%; and the problem is that the project is not legal that I found out two weeks ago.
I did not decide to give up the project instantly when I found out the business is illegal. I decided to make sure the client’s engineer is happy with the product design; and then I was arranging the right time to give up the project. It was a good decision; and that I have left a good legacy for the clients.
There are a variety of reasons why I give up the project.
The project top executive is not an honest man. He did not profess sincerity from his words. At the same time, it took my time to doubt about what his sentences really meant, to which is pain my ass. If the project does not have a honest person, that the project is not going for long; and the productivity is extremely low. I do not work for the people who I do not respect.
The project is supply the product for the clients. However, the product does not met the local legal requirements. There are lots of employees do not aware the lawfulness. This would put lots of employees to potentially risk being arrested to which is not a good legal consequence.
The company does not commit long term obligations. I spoke to one of the owners in the company. She did not respond back with attentive answers regarding on the future of company. I do not know what they really want for the future company position.
4. Since the project is become a burden, then I have to focus on the project that would serve the long term purpose. I will work on something that will improve the better quality of outcomes.
Albeit the rain was fallen, the sun was still there.
I had a delightful dinner with some entrepreneurs in China, discussing lots of subjects, while drinking fragrant Chinese rice wine. According to the discussions, It is challenging to become an entrepreneur in China. China is not a free market regime; and there is a heavy color of political economic which means the gov’s power has been overwhelmingly intervened on private corporations. Albeit there are state owned corporations, there are useless on account of bureaucracy. The workers are not concern on the quality of the works instead they would invest their labors on relationships.
We are all emotional animal; and yes it is important to forge good relationships with others creating a good community. However, if this culture is painted in the community too heavily, this will hinder the corporation goal that would serve the market. State owned enterprises, can become useless.
There are other issues, are very concerning in the status quo in turn of Chinese economic. The judiciary system is not as mature as comparing to the US and the UK. Even though Trump has promoted protectionism, cursing the neoliberal agenda. The US is still recognized as the leader of free market leader, the constitution is maintained the structure of the system for the fairness. However, the system is favor the affluent community because they have money to purchase the best service from the best lawyers to protect their interests.
Unlike China, power is greater than money. As long as the private corporations have more capital being able to influence the public sector, the gov would become alert with the corporate development ; Gov will gradually increase policing on the sector. Then, the private corporations need to ally with the influential individual who has power in order to continue the development. This is existing uncertainty for private corporations; they need to concern more than just economic climate; also need to concern political climate.
There are companies reach out to me, wanting to discuss the possibility of AI syncing children toy. From the market standpoint of view, is not that difficult. As long as business executive would invest time on marketing analysis and finding the right people.
However, there are philosophical debates debate regarding on the AI development for future generation, that AI toys could become the intellectual threshold to understand this.
The main questions regarding on the AI and toy development, is how much autonomy that AI can have to shape children’s mind, relationship and environment. This is the core of the question that human race needs to constantly to doubt about.
It is great that the LLM program, has been enriching the human race to transcend the civilization to see the new perspective in our digital realm. The human culture gnaws time’s edges, revealing the neon-lit creases of the innovation. That is, the AI toy can be educational for the children to have the first exposure to a variety of intellectual conversations showing from the LLM. However, the scientists does not have enough of sufficient studies of LLM program, not knowing what are the potential harms on the human race. The AI could not be trusted for faithfulness. This is because the AI is not good at providing evidence in the status quo. Indeed, we are living in the Information Age; and the misinformation contents are everywhere. For instance, it is great that children and teenagers can easily to understand more informations through internet; however, they are not good at questioning the legitimacy of the sources, in which this is misinformation. It could potentially mislead to an individual to have false assumptions in life decisions.
April 22 ,2025, is a strange day for me. I could not feel energetic, not working on any projects, feeling that I was cheating on capitalism. I only got one business, applying international license. I could not sleep well in the super early morning. I went to bed at 3 am. I supposed to go to sleep at 12 am, but I invested too much time on tablet reading books and watching some PMV porn.
I woke up at 10 am. My mind was dizzy. Nonetheless, I fetched up myself to the transportation centre.
The gear of Hong Kong’s MTR gnaw time’s edges, waving a subterranean galaxy through neon-lit creases of the city– ding dong- next stop : Tai Wai station’s whispered breath, lingering warmth of cha chaan Teng milk tea cafe, and mid levels escalators humming with Cantonese love stories left unfinished in mid-air.
I deliberately not to choose MTR transportation, but bus. The two levels British red bus, displaying iconic Cantonese advertise words that would attract my eyeballs could not resist, the height of bus could almost touch the top ceiling tunnel. The dedicate bus driver decorated with mask and sun glasses, showing the mysteriousness, unintentionally inspiring me to write other kind of sort harry potterish stories. Seeing the second floor, there were a variety of different individuals, their heats restored unique stories, waiting someone to discover.
I then sat on the bus, absorbing outside view through the window, doubting whether time could be slower, planning what to write next in turn of fiction, thinking what to read next. The freshness of air condition’s cool air gently laid on my brown dark skin, while my glasses could not stop working that constantly deflecting the lights to depict on my eye balls, letting my brain to process information. Even though my brain felt sleepy, I was dreaming about something random. The reality displayed in front of me, was not seem real.
Walking on the street the blazing sun burned on my body. I then realised “Summer is here.” My brown dark skin made me to be a different sort of person. I decided to eat Malaysian food for dinner.
Someone told me, I looked like an South East Asian .
I have found that, is difficult to say no. Especially, it is difficult for me to deny the people who I fond of.
For instance, the partner would ask me whether I have an interest in going to art exhibition, seeing Picasso’s artworks. Yes, it is desirable to see Picasso; however, I do not have a time. I can make up the time, skipping the things that I suppose to do. If I keep delaying the purpose; and then I might not be able to accomplish my goal. Furthermore, I agree with that relationship is built base on trust, at the same time, both parties need to have boundary. He or she shall not force the people to reveal all the personal privacy. Sometime, the partner would force me to reveal the my privacy, in order to check whether my mentality is not with her on the same page. I have to say no, because there are things suppose to be personal.
I want to get over it; therefore, I give it up. But, the act of crossing my personal boundary, is reducing my impression and affection to the partner. This is not a healthy relationship. Indeed, I do not feel the desire wanting to have sex.
Being able to get the thing I want. I need to say no to the things that are not useful for me. When the people try to ask me out for a dinner, I have to say no because I need to read. I always feel I do not have enough of time for reading and writing. When the people try to ask me to participate some businesses, I have to say no because I do not know what is my position and whether the project would remain as a good business for the next 20 years. A good business can always serve the demand very well, even though the economic would eventually go to the downturn. When the people ask me to join the easy money project, I have to say no because there is no such a thing is easy.
It is important to say no, as a means of getting the thing I want. Being able to say no, is not a selfish act, is an act of protecting my time. Time is a treasure.
I asked this to my friend who is CFO for one of the successful media companies.
“I don’t know how to reply this,” he replied. Basically, he was saying the practice of business is bullshit around the nonsense; and then the business project will create the trust between two parties. Strip club is the perfect ideal place to get the thing done.
Is it worthy to get MBA now in this day? Yes or no, this has to do with the question of degree whether is worthy. Degree is a letter of credit in business world. At first, the people you do not have any affiliation with. their degrees are the reference to understand that they have mastered the foundation in higher education. This would show, the areas of their qualification and the basic mannerism such as not late for the appointment because they have attended classes on time. Degree also could help us to see the quality of networks; and this has to do with where the degree comes from.
It is not cheap to get higher education degree in the US and UK. Being able to pay expensive ass of tuition fees, is shown how much money the student’s family has. Albeit the students won’t be able to get A, they still have resources that the family has accumulated for them after graduating from colleges.
Higher education degree also gives the unique insight for an individual. This is because the discourse is not accessible for vast majority; not everyone has an exposure to self-actualize the power of wisdom that would change an individual’s reality, the emancipation comes from the phenomenon of imagination. Because of this, I agree with higher education would train an individual to become an avid reader. This will encourage an individual’s brain independently to create his or her imagination, to which is independent thinking. Watching TV is not the equivalent of the reading books. The media contents also cultivate the image for the viewers; and they do not need to have self- imagination. Basically, TV can tell people what to do. In contrast, Books tell the readers what the meaning of sentences; and that the readers need to think independently.
However, staying in higher education too long might have negative consequence.
The higher education is an echo chamber. Even though there are lots of smart people, these are the minority. A successful scholar is a pragmatic scholar, studying the thing that is useful, not sitting on the toilet while thinking about philosophy. Currently, there are lots of PhD students actually come from affluence background. The real world is not decided the will of affluence minority. I feel skeptical about the thesis cultivated from the minority discourse. A successful scholar might investigate on the mass public culture, understanding how people would put their will on their government, in other words we need to understand how people vote.
Being a pragmatic scholar, also needs to see the reality of system, adapting the survival methods. It is amazing to see there are scholars could write amazing papers. However, we are not sure whether these ideas could become reality in the real world. Capitalism is not dead yet. It is important to see how the consumers would consume. The act of consume means the people would agree the product or service that would meet their needs in order to survive. That is, the higher thinking could improve the products or the services, gradually integrating into the market force. This would become the pragmatic innovation. Only concerning the solidarity philosophical thinking, serving for an individual interest; and this is the act of social suicide.
It is ambivalent to decide whether degree is the first good reference. It is yes or no.
Having lots of money, is a very nice condition that an individual to have in a capitalistic society. There are people who get an instant wealth immediately on account of opportunistic-ism, the material success did not come from professionalism.
What is professionalism?
An individual has committed a long term development for the project, not taking the short-cut for the achievement. This also requires the amount of human capital, as a means of building a strong foundation for the project. That the consistency to make it happen, is also committed the curiosity on learning. Never stop the will of improving the worldly wisdom.
I have seem people used to be wealthy; and then they lost their wealth. Why this happen?
One of the contributing factors, is the individual does not have humanity, causing the habits could not follow the time to change. Time would change everything. The sensible executive would follow the pattern while discovering the right timing to do the right thing. Being wealthy also means an individual’s mind is rich. The countless mind of imagination, would realise the purpose of living is more than just stick with consumerism.
It is important to stick with the people who are smarter than me. This how I will learn more about the new things everyday.
