Updates (July 6, 2025)

After writing out everything I feel in this blog … I feel good.

…

After feeling relieved, I realize I have to live like my father now and have a balanced life. Only Vietnamese that are similar to my dad understand how to navigate life in the West like my father.

He is smart but not too smart. He is not trying to be too smart, smart to avoid problems … That is all it is.

It is balanced to live in the middle for ‘Zen’ like approach to life with people in society.

Not indulging in seeking to be rich, powerful or too smart for your own good.

That is all it is.

Also because he is South Vietnamese and from the area that practices Phật Giáo Hòa Hảo and from the Mekong River area where it grows everything he is naturally balanced.

I heard one day, sons turn into their father.

As I accomplished quite a bit and see the vices of having too much, I now understand my father.

Like you still learn and do stuff but don’t go so forward in it that it is what you seek as a priority. Just live Zen.

You can actually live Zen in Canada.

That is what I feel and see.

But in reality, I had to go so far out learning for 41 years to see how things are.

That is the dilemma.

But really you have to keep learning somehow and understand the psyche.

But my father has his own life and focuses on himself and his things he loves. That is also the key in life.

If you have a passion and individual goal, just work on that on your time.

Like working for a company and trying to deliver a product is so hard and stressful like trying to develop a custom website for a client under ‘X’ number of days.

So that is why I just did passion projects.

Basically I am living Zen too.

Basically I am living balanced like a South Vietnamese from the Mekong River.
