Today’s beginner

Today’s beginner is tomorrow’s master. Yes, everything takes time. In the beginning, all the things are unclear, chaotic, and complex. But, things are eventually will get easier and you will be very confident what you are doing.

What are you doing at night ?

What do people do at night?

Everyone has different routines or lifestyles. Single people are different than the ones who have small kids. Also, the families who have small kids are much different than the others who are living their families and expecting a baby.

I prefer to listening Jazz and read a book. Occasionally go to dinner or host ones. What are you doing at night?

The whole world accepts

He understands that the universe is forever out of control, and that trying to dominate events goes against the current of the Tao. Because he believes in himself, he doesn’t try to convince others. Because he is content with himself, he doesn’t need others’ approval. Because he accepts himself, the whole world accepts him.-Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu

Accept yourself and wait for the results.

Exciting projects

Exciting is a very subjective phrase. Whatever exciting is for you might not be interesting to me. In my case, I like to -add value, -see the tractions in the early days and -try to address the market. If these three criteria are obvious to me, I get excited about any projects.

In-person meetup in SF

Today, I did my very first in-person meetup in SF downtown since Covid with a bunch of people. The group was small, around ten people, and they are all friends of my virtual friend from states who lived all over Asia and most recently lived in Mexico City. He invited his other friends who live in the city. Most of them either went to Stanford with him or his work friends.

I wouldn’t say I like too crowded groups of people, and also, I feel socially awkward if I don’t know the rest of the group. But somehow, today I liked the group. Either I was in the mood, or I craved such a long time to meet likeminded people. Who knows?

It’s good to be back some sort of normal. And for sure I know “ I’m a people person.”

Future of Future

I was talking to a friend of mine today, and he told me: –Bro, what you are talking about is the future of the future.

I was not aware of what I was saying that far from. Because I might be living in the future.

So lucky

I saw a car that crashed into someone’s house during my today morning walk. That side of the road I always walk by. But today, I was lucky. Others too. It was minor damage to the house’s fence.

Do we have a guarantee we will be okay tomorrow or next year? – Not at all. So, why do we wait to say every night before going to sleep, – You know what, you are so lucky ! You made it “living” from morning to night…

I’m not comfortable

Being comfortable is a very personal feeling. You feel either comfortable or not. Nothing really changes your feelings. If you don’t feel it, then you are not comfortable then. So, everyone’s comfort level is different too.

Why do we try to convince others? Just tell them, “ I’m not comfortable in this situation, so don’t force it!

%99 percent

99% of our problems are solved by good health & financial freedom.

Here are my tactics for both.

Health:

  • Start small changes in your diet & be more active.

    Ex1Take stairs instead of elevators.

    Ex2: Don’t put milk/sugar on your coffee

  • Change your food order

    Ex: Let’s say you order a dish at a restaurant. It comes with protein, salad, and carb(potato or bread); start eating salad, then protein, and if you still want to eat carbs at last.

Finance:

  • Start saving as little as possible, then gradually find a sweet spot for monthly savings.

    Ex1: I automated every time I charge my Tesla on I automatically buy $50 Tesla Stocks. (Money I saved from Gas every full tank pretty much)

  • Don’t compete/compare your living standards with others. You don’t know where they started or what’s their actual net worth just watching their IG stories.

    Ex1: You are an average of five-person is around you. The same principle applies to who you follow on social media too. Don’t follow people who give you anxiety or make you depressed. Either mute their stories/posts or just follow people, inspire and motivate you.


    Both financial freedom and healthy life are long games. So stay positive and remind yourself this is your GAME!
