Updates (January 1, 2025)
Things I learned in 2024:
- You have to learn and do your thing regardless of whatever people say in society. I see this time and time again that people want you in boxes to put aside for them to walk past you … You don’t grow mature and wise and healthy if you allow that people to control you. It is not good for anything. You can just fit in the space that people allow but you must live open and neutral and offer alternatives to think and do. Old 70+ years old people see this really. That is why I don’t bother going outside and just go through drive thru for my Tim’s.
- You have to let people finally know “the system” and how you are improving yourself to get out and have your healthy life. Just playing below and to comply does nothing good. People middle-age and older understand. Young people perpetuate the system for their benefit because they are still growing and need a slice. I don’t go outside no more because of this LOL! Again drive thru Tim’s is fine. Meeting young people does nothing really … Young people with their superficial culture is out there. You have to manage it when you go out in public. Some people don’t want change and just be.
- It is the enabling change of working with nicer and more open minded people in life that create change and transformation. Working with Ben Cybulski and Dmitry Nefedov enabled lots of change in thinking and design.
- Maybe it is good to do a 4 year degree in computer science to have that? I am not sure 100% but any paper is fine and good …
- Living with deep meaning is good. Good for your self development but again there are people like Ben and Dmitry who are living cool lives that you want to be a part of. Really out there and in their heads. Peak stuff.
- When you really push and push and push what you want and feel, everything should be OK. I pushed and pushed and did some good stuff. I guess that is life after all. All the ruminating doesn’t do much.
- Life is much like the old independent farmer tending his crop. I have this deep in the back of my mind how to live and be independent and happy. Trying to be independent as possible and keep being independent.
…
Vietnamese things:
- Living the Vietnamese way is alright. But there is a problem. You really have to push to have that confidence and change to live well like the other Asians in the past who are now established in the West. Complying and living below will make you sick and unhappy because when you go out in society people actually treat each other based on their country of origin. Being older you realize you should have played your cards right to have that merit more. I did OK and I am unphased really.
…
Life:
- Parents and elderly that look at me … I am just living child. What I am doing is just another being trying his luck in life. Just another soul. Just a guy trying to do more? Just a guy trying to be healthy.
- Why aren’t I married yet? In the broadest sense what am I waiting for? I should have been married to a sensible woman who understand the economic struggles of living in the West a long time ago and who understands the system created. That is all it is here in the West. Understands the Economics and The System. A woman who really understand how things work in the West is all that really matters after compatibility and connection. It can not be just about economics and it has to be individual lively pursuit too in Canada. My lively pursuit is how to be more creative in my creations in my interests and I like helping.
