Updates (May 2, 2025)
I went out to Toronto the other day to help a family member see a doctor specialist.
I was interacting with people but this time I had more of my skills and old experiences. This time it was different.
People noticed that I was old thinking now. Old people recognized that in me. People realized I can think and am open.
Once you get old you realize people are people who understand higher thinking and are quiet. They let people sit there and study.
…
When I went to Toronto, I met the diversity there. Yes, there is racism for the young crowd.
But in my case, some people like to see people below and not see them improve or change and evolve.
You want people to grow and do better and evolve. But some people are stuck in their ways and thought and want people to be just stuck. There are rigid viewpoints out there. Negative levels.
I am open and don’t mind seeing people change and evolve to be better. Also because I am a guy and have to think open and positive.
…
Certain people are just sitting there open to everything. Some people are so their way that it doesn’t open doors or open your mind really. They make you think negative thinking in the bad perspective. It depends on the person you are interacting with.
When you see people open neutral and rested who think higher than you then you grow and be pleasant. That is the trick to becoming more and better. People higher open the doors.
…
That is the thing about life. Some people are thinking negative and some people thing positive. I guess that depends on experience and age.
But at the end of the day, I just do my own thing and continue doing it.
…
The thing about how I function normally is that I work with several people who are well rested and open minded to think and not criticize harsh.
But sometimes you need other perspectives even if they are pretty harsh so you try to learn and open it up.
…
Some people think I think bad, some people say I think normal. Because I was born in Canada and grew up here I think mixed Canadian.
…
At the end of the day it is about experience and getting out there but also doing your own thing at home.
I live in Oshawa so most of my days are spent at home. I do my thing. It is not developing games but it is what I do for now. Just taking my time and seeing what is out there time to time.
…
The coolest thing about growing up is thinking smart and old. No longer you are a smart ass with the young crowd. You are just a old man with the bulging old group demographic in society.
That is what people don’t teach you. They can’t really teach you. When you are young you are prone to doing young things.
But when you get old and get over young thinking because you worked and socialized then you realize how nice old life is.
To get to old nice life was to do my projects so I had something to do and be proud of and look forward to. The key is doing your old thing.
…
Some people game a lot and socialize a lot. I did not have that opportunity yet to be good at doing more and being more.
But if I don’t do the things I like, I wouldn’t have me. I do the projects I am interested in. I started in 2020 so I only have 4-5 years of real thinking growth.
But also because I am born in Canada, I think kind of lazily. So things take their time.
…
It is better to think like a Canadian born so you don’t get stressed.
…
I lived my life out in the Canadian suburbs and never had issues with dealing with people daily.
What would my life be if I grew up in the cities?
…
Anyways the open laid back lifestyle of mixed Canadians in the suburbs is what I have in my brain.
I sit at home, on the computer, reading, doing my thing.
It could be better but it ain’t bad.
…
Seriously now, after yesterday’s interaction, I realize Linus Torvalds way of life is the best.
At my old age, I finally see it like other old mature Western people (past middle-age)
I finally made it! I understand the right way to live. I feel content and ecstatic now but in a mature way.
Life is to live stuck in your house, reading and drinking tea and coffee, dabbing away on a computer and socializing with your mature/middle-age+ friends. Going out sometimes to buy that bag of milk and to restock the fridge.
It seems sad and lonely but that is the only way to get something. It is nice and slow. Not everyone is out there doing this and that and not everyone is a genius. Slow and steady and somewhat a solitude way is the way for health and a sharp mind.
…
How I grew up beating the negative odds (negative Vietnamese stereotypes) was just doing my thing in solitude but is was growth because it was math based.
…
You have to grow and evolve. If no one lets you grow then walk away and ignore them.
…
Once you have that understanding among people in a social setting, then people get antsy and finally see it your way which is to grow and evolve. It does not become cultural or racial. You then see the faults in bias and cultural thinking as it doesn’t allow growth or other people to grow.
…
I work with Dmitry Nefedov (farag2/sanctuary) of Sophia Projects.
His way of life is good.
He is keeping up to date with Windows operating systems and always updating his projects.
It is forward and also routine at the same time.
That is mind bending.
It is hard to think that way.
…
When I was young I was upset why I couldn’t program.
I knew the Linus was living the good life.
But everywhere I looked, society taught me programming or his way of life was impossible or not cool.
Now that I am 41 years old (42 years old in Vietnamese years) I realize his life is the best. It is the way. And also it is the way for salvation.
…
When you talk about strict rules of binary race and culture and not forwardness everything fails.
…
In grade 4, I learned to be open and neutral and also positive from socializing in school. I learned to live like a Canadian.
That is all it is really for a life like mine. Take your time and learn and see what happens without expecting really anything.
…
We all think in a certain way to get recognized. That is all it is in life. We try to figure a way to have self-esteem.
We grow that overtime. But we do certain things to get self-esteem.
…
After socializing the other day, I learned to do more in my craft to have something different and my own way.
Do something my way.
…
That is the nice thing about growing up. Old people will challenge you to be smarter and better the positive way if they can.
…
People say too much growth is bad and greedy. That is one angle. But on the other hand if you don’t grow then you don’t grow your mind and consciousness for a life of abundance like other Westernized people. It depends on you.
…
I had trouble the other day, then I realize it was because of my lack of socialization skills.
At the end, you are suppose to be supportive and positive and open like the Canadians you grew up with really.
…
You need to be very busy and try to be knowledgeable. That is the trick to living a good life in the West.
…
Ways to look at my life:
- Western way – What I am doing is fine to be more and do more. You increase your viewpoints and consciousness by doing more. You look at a life full of abundance.
- Other way – I look selfish and greedy doing more. If I do this I have nothing at the end and won’t have a life. I got to do what I like.
So everyone must live the most forward way.
So all I can do is work with my friends because that is the only way for a good life in the current situation. That way I have something of unique value, feel good and do something. Grow and evolve.
That is why it is sometimes weird living in other people’s viewpoint.
So at the end of the day I stay in my zone.
So the most Western way is the right way. I have friend from Britain that helped me.
…
How do you live in Canada as a Vietnamese-Canadian?
Well I understand how the world is like here and abroad.
I guess you find a woman that understands this.
And accepts a life that has this and continue to do what you like for forwardness. If you don’t live forward then you have nothing really.
