You still have to learn and do stuff.
…
The culture of Vietnamese in Toronto …
When you have children then what is it?
Tony Tie works with Asians. He is basically born in Canada.
I guess to have a life with a girlfriend/wife, I actually do have to work with Asians.
The goal is to grow and develop the Asian-Western experience and it is ongoing.
I am out here in Oshawa living alone???
…
You got to develop 3 facets I think. All facets need to be developed to live a good life in the West.
- Canadian one
- Vietnamese one
- Other groups.
Mixing them all up and grow forward.
Otherwise if feels weird.
…
Working and living among Canadians is OK. But you don’t ‘think’ for yourself really.
I am out here in Oshawa working and don’t feel anything LOL.
I am learning and growing but I don’t have a ‘me thought’.
I guess I have to work with Vietnamese in Canada now …
…
If I lived in Vietnam what would happen?
The longing for the hustle and bustle of the West?
That is why aunties from the Vietnam wet markets wanted me to keep going in the West because life in Vietnam is ‘different’.
People in Vietnam eye for the technical and lifestyle of the West. When the aunties are 40+, they know how boring life can be in Vietnam saving every last dollar to one day have a life that is better for themselves and their kids.
But the thing is life in Vietnam in retrospect is also livable.
Sometimes you hear stories of professionals living a simple life back in the hometown after venturing it out in the big cities.
But they are still very busy …
…
Is anyone really happy in Vietnam?
It is developing and growing fast.
It is projected in 2045 Vietnam will be very developed.
But I am seeing some East Asians still come to Canada.
Even if Vietnam is developed, the longing for the broad mindset and collaborative thinking in the West still tops the list for things to do and want.
Once you visited Vietnam in your 30s, you realize you need open minded, thinking people to help fill your mind from stagnation and boredom.
But can that be done by YouTubing and working remotely? Good question.
Can I work in Vietnam and still remote to my friends all over the world? I think yes too.
…
What does a Southern Vietnamese man like me want? Want now?
…
You are supposed to have a relationship where you make each other better and better overall. You are supposed to support each other and grow each other.
…
What I am doing is pretty nice. It can go better and better if I focus.
Before, what I was doing and learning, was it good? What other focus do I need?
…
After doing what I like and getting recognized, life is chill. I made something and am relaxing now. I got the dream I wanted subconsciously and maybe consciously. Like I kept going and going and made something. I did the Western dream. You don’t know until you tried it for many years/decades.
What is next?
…
I am realizing it now. A partner is supposed to like your life.
