Working thinking jobs is odd.

Working with Ben made me pretty smart.

No one likes smart people.

That is the problem but it isn’t.

What else is there?

…

You can not be happy all the time. You can not be in a good mood all the time.

I realize this after the long work.

You need to crash and sleep and do nothing.

Don’t expect a life of work all the time.

I realize this after I worked finally a thinking hard, hard job.

…

Work with Ben is great. Now what? It is probably very high level. One of the highest.

Now I understand I need to take my time to enjoy, crash and learn.

…

I can relax now and live normal because I did hard things. I understand how people think and how hard life can be.

Everyone needs that experience so they can understand and grow and live.

…

Even after the interactions, you still go home and do your thing.

That is the weird thing of race and thinking work.

You learn and get over it and try to evolve and improve.

…

In the West, probably the downfall of people is nothing to wish for. You need hope.

You have to be brewing as a person.

…

Over time working on yourself, things get blurred. There is little boundaries. People just do stuff and whatever happens.

…

If you are not brewing then you are complaining and expect help.

…

I learned after 4 years socializing with other Vietnamese born in Canada that we are all trying to manage living in Canada. No one is really comfortable or stable. That is just life.

That is life to grow and to aspire.

…

The reason I stick with Vietnamese born in Canada is because of the system. Vietnamese from abroad are not aware of the system until they are 10 years into living here.

You have to navigate that when you are living here.

But when you get older nothing bothers you. You understand the system and do what you want for health and growth.

…

I guess I understand working life for doing normal work in coding to web development.

Web development is reaching and always doing more. You are in your mind most of the day trying and doing stuff to make new things.

Normal programming like Wrapper development is just refactoring and adding stuff.

You can not do web development all day, but you can and it is stressful. Probably most stressful. And it is worth it to be growing and in your mind.

Wrapper development is a drag.

At the end, it is trying to grow and be happy which is doing new things.

…

The key to my development was first doing my thing, then work with Ben and then work with the team.

Did that for 4 years, then do web development. That is the steps for growth.

I guess that is what everyone can do and learn from.

…

I got something but that is like pretty good.

I develop software products and can advertise.

But to do more is web development. And that is better, giving and more.

…

I did web development and it was the most growing thing and most exciting.

Now I understand how life is kind of is a drag if you don’t keep doing it and how stressful it is.

But life is more worse if you don’t do something good as that.

That is the cycle. That is life.

My father just keeps busy reading books to not feel bad.

…

Now I know the cycle of good work and nothing.

So out in society you got to be working and doing something to feel good.

You can not idle around each day.

…

But once you got good work then nothing else matters or is more fun and great.

Once you can do web development and do it well that is exhilarating. You don’t want to do something else because it is sad and hurts.

…

After understanding pride and ego, I learned you still have to strive.

You can not stagnate.

…

At this point in life after working with Ben and the team you realize that working in web development and design is always evolving and unlimited???

Therefore you don’t complain of reaching the top and having nothing to do.

That is it. Possibly end of the road here in unlimited things to do.

Everyone needs to learn this and accept this and then understand and let go and relax and do.

The trick was to do it and do it well with the latest technologies.

After that you get humble and understand the road ahead.

You stop hating, stop being upset and stop doing bad, stop thinking bad when you are always learning.

…

Once you understand life in Canada, then you only want to be around people who understand it like you do.

Once you know, you know.

You realize you have to strive and do your thing forever.

You have to live your way and improve it and evolve it.

Also you got to do something significant and lead your way to have good feeling.

You can be there ‘neutral and idling’ but you got to do your thing as that is the only thing you have for the leadership good feeling in life. You got to look out for yourself.

I guess that means more of your ideas and thinking as everyone has an idea.

…

You should not let anyone define you.

That way you grow and do cool things.

You have your own way of thinking as everyone else does to pursue something great and growing. This is regardless of whatever anyone says as you are a growing individual changing and evolving to do good stuff.

However, letting other groups and cultures define you is always negative LOL. So you just got to do what you want for your own growth and health. That is just to live.

…

I went to the doctors today for a family member and realized some interesting things when socializing with the crowd:

• If I never worked hard like this before with Ben’s help, I wouldn’t be able to understand that you need to be pushing 200% forward in the back of your mind and be smart in life to have a life.
• You need to push and chase as a man.
• I realized if I did not push forward like Ben’s mindset, I wouldn’t have anything to think about and do in the West.
• You have to be smart and willing to think outside the box or else you stagnant and get sick and go away.

…

But all of this is too much to do daily.

I can have a life in Canada doing something.

But also have a life doing what I like (my own software) which is basically the most I can do without constant stress.

…

I realized life is to really go further into your projects after working and dealing with society.

I am not Western enough to do whatever. I still need to grow and push and develop my mind further.

That is the point of being a man in the West. It is really to do your thing but with supports and extra work to get you well rounded and more.
