Seeing the big world is a lot.
You meet bigger people and then you question yourself.
But you can not worry about that as you need yourself first. You need to make yourself happy and fulfilled.
Therefore, zone out doing what you like. It is all doing what you like.
…
I never did what I liked when I was younger.
I had my parents pushing me to get a job and life of my own.
I even had certain groups questioning my motives.
Then out in the real world the other day, I realized it is just your health and what you like to do more. You can not worry about this or that too much as that will take away from your enjoyment and health.
Just enjoy yourself for your sake and growth.
That is the funny thing about people. People criticize you and your choices. They try to influence your way of life.
Therefore it is the Western open way of living to live life to the fullest and remove the cultural thinking really. You got to grow without the baggage as a man really. Or else it is impossible to live.
…
Then you realize it is culture and the passage of time to evolve.
But you still do you to enjoy life and have your own frame of mind.
…
It is not about the big breadth of life really as a Canadian. To really do something you must think with your other friends on the same frequency and not worry so much. The Western way of creating has helped me think positive and forward that I can actually do something.
…
You need to learn lots to feel good to have that smarts. But not just learn lots for the sake of it because the change is doing something unique to change things and have that smarts.
Having overall lots of smarts is good but what? People who have lived in the West for generations who understand life here will just accumulate smarts and a life but what is developed to show something different? You then zone out doing your own thing and see the reception.
Everyone is smart and have their own angle. Everyone is thinking and doing stuff. My angle is working so far. But I live in Canada so I can do this for the sake of health and fun and enjoyment and coffee … my life and space.
…
People make fun of me in the Western sense.
People are pitted against each other to make things go in the world … It is not exactly ‘one’ world.
So I do the things to address it?
…
The goal is to create something that needs a solution.
…
That is the cool thing about being Vietnamese …
Growing up the global stereotype of Vietnamese is pretty harsh if you look at the negative angle.
Therefore, if you can, you address it.
That baffles people when you actually do.
But that is life. Completely ignore people who use the negative stereotype against you. In the Vietnamese case, it is pretty bad and you have to completely cut people off.
I got old and it got easy to do stuff as I just got decades of experience. Not many Vietnamese people who are in their 40’s are still doing what my brother and I are doing I think.
Most people stop studying and improving when they get 35 years old and therefore hold onto old stereotypes about people and their culture. That is the sad reality. So continually growing is the trick to reverse stuff. But everyone kind of knows this. Everyone has that feeling if I keep going things will change. But most people give up and want to work at 17 years old, have a family and kids at 25 years and repeat the cycle.
The real trick is to be a researcher and developer for decades/all your life basically like Westerners to go against the grain. This required me to learns lots and take my time. That is the truth. It just took time. Being patient and going for it in the West. Fight against your impulsiveness and urges to have fun and ‘just work’ for the sake of working as you must learn patience and maths. Most importantly, find smarter mentors to teach you have to have a fulfilled life.
…
You have to have an open mind to live good. I did and can live better ignoring classifications and stereotypes.
If you live closed minded and racist, then you don’t grow and can not live good.
You have to live the most forward to have a good anything.
…
It is just life to be more growing and open. This is true especially in the West.
