You have to grow all the time and build.

You grow and grow until you figure out how to make it.

Living in the Western world can be confusing. But at the end of 35 years old you are just hanging and then comes the time where you seek more and grow.

Grow until a point where it is more than you. It is having skills to help your cousins and then feel good and then work on building stuff to make money hopefully.

It was family all along to acknowledge your pursuit and existence in the world and in the family.

I am trying to find other Vietnamese who are old as me experiencing life like mine???

This is what I am understanding now.

As an older man now, I realize life is to really grow.

…

Grow but how? Growth for me was just doing what I like for the best life. On all facets it helps to work hard doing what you like and deem right for your sake. What I am doing is good I think. It is all growth??? If there is no growth then it is illness and feeling bad???

For sure if you have your own children one day, life is to grow.

How bad is it really in this Western world?

• When you are young, people are openly 1-dimensionally racist. You walk away from these people… You walk away until everyone is older and mature.
• Then when you are old and are skilled with experience and with unique accomplishments, people take the time to understand you. Mostly because you are old looking and they are too. They usually are much older than you and see you through. This is when you are in your 40s and they are around your age or they are really old and basically retired.
• Then there are some people who take the time to see how you behave in this world outside and into your heart. They look at your from all angles and see the reason why you do the things you do and don’t criticize. You might be a result of bad society. These people are very human.
• There is also the Western angle too. When you are in your 40’s, you are trying something different and because you look like an old man and life has pushed you to doing something good and different. People don’t criticize and want to see you push forward and see what good comes from it. That is the extreme.
• Then there are people who have that laidback lifestyle … Nothing. I think I should do this now …

I live a really positive forward life as a Vietnamese person.

When I am not doing my thing, how do I act in this world?

Well after 40 years you realize everything was racist.

As a Vietnamese person born in Canada, I realized life is similar to elementary school, not high school. Life doesn’t stop and the world is greedy.

I had to work hard BUT also do something unique to save my soul as a Vietnamese person.

If I never did anything unique for myself as a Vietnamese person, I would be a subject to belittling for the rest of my life here in Canada and never amount to much.

I was belittled the other day at the hospital by other groups who have been established for hundreds of years in the Americas.

I had to try hard to have any unique value.

Some people can’t let that go … So you avoid them but treat them good.

But life happens in the most forward sense when living in the West. You can not stop it.

You can not think small really. Especially when you are done school and need things to keep you happy to grow and grow the soul.

I can not grow? But old senior people let me try to see what good happens.

I guess it is all about how you feel and how old people are.
