Updates (January 12, 2025)

I socialized out in the world as a Vietnamese person born in the West (Canada). I saw many things beyond work and school.

• If you don’t improve yourself in terms of education, skills and experience you might think awful. Negative maybe.
• You have to go where you are supported and appreciated. You can not go where it stagnates growth.

You also have to know your limit so you do enjoy the good things in life. That is family and your own children. You must make the call to have a family or don’t. That may mean to have a normal life. That is all it is. If you work so hard achieving milestone after milestone that is great but you probably won’t have the time for children unless you have a stable job.

…

I used to complain to my father and mother why they weren’t educated and skilled like others then I realize that is the best they can do really. It is up to me of have my own life I see now after everything. I have to learn everything on my own at the end of the day as that builds character and strength.

…

A stable job is like in healthcare or teaching. Teach anywhere. There are only a few people as successful as the big tech CEOs. Is it worth it? I need to be like my father and enjoy family, life and coffee and food to live a long life.

…

Other people have issues. I have issues. That is life. No one understands anyone in the West. Everyone has separate issues that no one can really address except ourselves.

…

I have a friend named Dmitry Demin who did IT admin work and had a family. But later in life became a programmer. He works on SophiApp: https://github.com/Sophia-Community/SophiApp. I will choose that route now. But not IT work.

I think when your kids get into their teens then you can go back doing your dreams. That is a good way to live and teach your children.

…

Doing the programming and math I have become zombie-like. I need a life of my own now LOL! I need to enjoy fast food and a movie.

…

It is satisfying reaching. But with this experience and understanding work in web development and programming, I can do other things.

Teaching “the life” can either go abstraction or normal. The key is to have your own family and compromise “OR” have done your goals then have a family after.

Having your own children is probably the most satisfying thing.

…

After realizing the above that I have accomplished my goals in life then I can move on really.

Going and reaching more is enough.

I guess I am done.
