So life was about locality.
Vietnamese born in Canada I finally get.
…
Vietnamese from Vietnam have this expansive world thinking, but at the end of the day familiarity and vulnerability mattters.
…
So after 50 years, the Vietnamese overseas have come full circle.
We learned from each other.
Then William and David tried something different in 2020.
Now things have settled.
…
The old dynamic of 2019 – 2021 works like a well oiled machine.
The team is still here.
Can not ask for more.
Can not really do more.
…
Honestly, I like behaving like a miserable person for the last 37 years.
The first generation of entrepreneurs are still the same person if you don’t change their mission and financials.
I rather be a miserable man than anything else.
…
You have to think ZEN and practically.
I am freaking from An Giang, Mương Trâu Bridge! I am NOT ALLOWED to have anything!!!
Been there for at least 300 years according to my mom or maybe 400 years !!! I am only allowed coffee, tea and shelter.
I am not allowed to be spoiled or it ruins my rhythm!!!
…
I am just lucky to be alive and have instant noodles. Boat People survived half a dozen sharks! With this mindset you are happy and well. Don’t spoil it!!! Don’t spoil you!!! Do you believe in balance with God and ones self?
…
So basically I went to Vietnam in 2015, 2018 and went to school with Vietnamese from Vietnam here in GTA.
Vietnamese from Vietnam forgot that my parents were Boat People … Do you know how weird that feels for a guy like me seeing people ignore that ??? I came from Boat People and I feel anxious and on my tiptoes all the time. The fight and flight mechanism is always on. I was passive because I was in flight mode for 3 decades. I did not want to rock the boat.
That is why I am basically alone since 2018.
