What is good for health? It is to focus on something outside yourself. Like helping others, building and keeping busy.

That is what people say to be healthy.

But in turn it helps yourself and builds yourself and makes you a lot better. Helping is the secret to growth and bettering yourself.

That is just the way life is to maintain your health. That is the duality of doing things. Helping others, helps yourself.

…

I see the most healthy and smart and disciplined people help others by building frameworks like a new Javascript framework and give it away for free by open source.

Or like Linus Torvalds building Linux and Git. That is a true mastery of life. Building systems for use by billions open source.

I realized after programming since 2014, 2017, 2020 till now, I have received some recognition doing the things I am doing.

I can help market and advertise stuff.

I can help my cousins and family advertise their businesses. I have and the return is nice. I finally did something worthwhile.

All thanks to first going to Vietnam in 2006 and realizing that people there have to make money to live. You have to work and study to live in Vietnam which transformed into me learning all this and helping my cousins now.

I can steadily do the things I am doing and things will grow and get better. The world turns and that means work and study has to be done and money has to be made.

If I don’t somehow work with my cousins over in Vietnam, there is like no point to anything. Vietnam is a developing country and people have to work. I have to “work”. And I am doing all this to work this way.

How to work in Canada? It is just web development which is sooooooooo subjective that it hurts.

…

What is life in Canada? Being born in Canada?

Most of my classmates growing up did service work and did not bother with more to life out here in the suburbs. They understood that life was already abundant here in Canada and they should just kind of work hard and enjoy it and get along.

There was no soul searching and specializing.

Now I am 41 and doing this type of work. Really different. I guess I needed to be different? Maybe because my home country is underdeveloped? Maybe the everyday social interactions did was not fun because everything is kind of racist.

Anyways you do the things you do to develop and overcome the bad feelings. That is just life.

Old people understand that. They have experienced it all and expect things like this to occur to make things better for themselves. They have no problems of you improving yourself and getting up there. They have done it themselves. That is how things work in the West. You educate and do until you are up there. That makes the world run. The underdog trying makes things go in this world.

But also, I am doing what I like. So whatever that happens outside in public doesn’t matter. The racist stuff really doesn’t make sense when you really look at it. You don’t want to think in levels.

The real good thing at the end is working with my family and cousins. I was able to develop and do something to make things go, move business and money back home. I helped Vietnam develop.

Instead of just helping myself, helping my cousins is probably the most rewarding thing.
