I saw today the real estate office on San Mateo Downtown converted themselves as a coffee shop. The location they are in next to a popular bakery most of the time huge line up to in front of them.
So, these hards days, they had to adapt and find them new alternatives. I think the idea is while you are waiting at a huge line, get a coffee from them. Smart
Our lives are full of surprises. Small or big ones.
We like positive ones and scared of negative ones.
You are doing all calculations based on what do you know. Any estimation for future forecasting is going to be unknown until you know.
Rather than spending full estimation/projection, focus on execution.
Execute then iterate it. Then execute again. Don’t satisfy the first results
Why are we spending our most valuable item (time) without really thinking?
Like something we will never run out of it.
Why? Because we don’t even have a chance to think about it. We are all busy.
Screens are our new part of our bodies. I wish they can automatically lock itself and can not open till next time. (It should automatically calculate how much I need a phone, computer, or TV for work or social life)
I am sure you guys heard Carnegie Mellon University or Carnegie Hall. Those are started or initiated by Andrew Carnegie who was a businessman, philanthropist in the late 19th century and became one of the richest Americans in history.
He also started libraries all over the U.S, Europe, Australia, and many other places. Total libraries around 2509 between 1883 and 1929.
I didn’t know anything about Carnegie Libraries till today morning. We are visiting a small town (Healdsburg) in northern California. I checked what’s nearby places to visit then found Healdsburg Museum which was a Carnegie Library before.
All I did a couple of google map/ browser search. You will surprise when you are curious about what’s the background story of everyday items.
You are going through many places in your life. Some of them you have been a lot of times some of them only once. Do you know which place is calling you ? What is your go to places? Who is your soulmate to join your journey?
If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else. —YOGI BERRA
Whatever is important to you, just share it publicly. What you know doesn’t mean it everybody knows it. Your agenda should be their agenda. If you are not physically around them, at least they can access it easily.
More they know, more they can contribute it.
I feel everyone is these days talking about the Stock Market. What is going on outperforming Tech Stocks etc? Are we in another bubble or that is some sort of expected growth trajectory?
I believe in long-term plans. Long term relationship. Long term outcome.
Thinking about a short time it is all about short-term gains and losses. That is not sustainable and healthy.

Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), I never heard his name till today morning. What a shame.
I didn’t study architecture or design maybe that’s why. Even If I study I probably don’t remember unless I interested in it. What do you remember about what you studied in college anyway?
Anyway, I spent 20-30 minutes about him so far I learned he is the greatest architecture who lived in the 20th century in the USA. Some of his work already added the UNESCO Heritage list.
Check out his the most famous works in here. They are mind-blowing.
