So being the bottom rung in society is good and bad but mostly ‘good’???

So what did I do while being on the bottom rung in society as a full South Vietnamese?

I help develop solid tools and ways of thought and life for Vietnamese on the bottom rung.

…

So you got to think and think but who cares a bit as we live in Canada.

…

The reaction to Vietnamese is bad, but think around it and do something worthwhile and think whatever as Canada has all this wheat, corn and beef.

…

I only got this far in life as a bottom feeder because I have Tammy Nguyen. She suffers the same as me and she is female.

Whatever people do and say, we understand and walk around it. That is just our lives here and in this world.

Just accept but whatever it as that is how complicated it is.

It is hard to maintain but after you built up your brain working with other Vietnamese who share this problem then you can grow and muster.

…

The important thing is Vietnamese friends and community who see the big picture. Racism exists but it is superficial.

Once you do something good like get a degree or make a product, you think I done something as a Vietnamese that is so unique making me like any other person in the world.

That is the trick. Work on yourself with other Vietnamese that support you and then you got some solution that everyone benefits from. After awhile that helps make you think the extra layer that you are more than your country and your are just another breathing person.

But you got to get old really fast.

So old that the minute things don’t bother you.

But now you are secure knowing you can only ask for one thing in life.

…

I choose to think and do, now I am secure and walk around doing more stuffs with a coffee.

…

So the things I did to overcome racism as a 2nd generation Vietnamese born in Canada

1. Understand racism fully. It is ingrained here even before 1491. First Peoples had it too with the Europeans.
2. Do your hobbies in safe Canada. The established Canadians can not do anything really, they need the ‘mojo’ of the fresh immigrants to work and pay taxes. Look at Canadians closely and you can see this is true.
3. Get your degree and diploma done. I benefited from both degree and diploma (university and college). Understand academia. It is an option.
4. Work a ton of manual service jobs to understand all walks of life in Canada. Do a few thinking jobs too like medicine. Once you do medicine you are golden in understanding life and economy of the Western world.
   • Work until you learned people need people
     • People need people to do:
       • This and that
       • To run the economy
       • Need new innovative ideas
       • Run their ethnic cities too
5. It is good to explore life and travel to the world. But when you are 29 without an advanced Masters or PhD, you feel stupid and worthless compared to top people in society so do your thing to get something.
6. But eventually you hit 35 years old with a midlife crisis and ‘hit the wall’. So you quickly have to choose to be smart only. This way you must work, learn, study, research and grow indefinitely for life so one day you have a family and some pension/money to live on when you are 55 years old ready for retirement.
7. If you played your cards right at 35, you choose intelligence and in a few years develop something beyond your country of origin.
8. Now you are more than your skin colour. And Canadians notice including fresh immigrants.
9. Life was more than your skin especially if you are Vietnamese.

So things were about skin colour in Canada mainly.

But when you go live in Whitby and Oshawa it is just work to save up.

So that means to know how to work and build skills in thinking and development and research, it may be wise to move to Whitby and Oshawa and further East.

…

So to overcome all the drama and racism as a coloured person, you just move to Oshawa and work till you hit a home run and then enjoy your life doing your hobbies with some coffee at least?

But because you are in the Oshawa frequency you will work till your gone so you never enjoy anything.

…

I guess that is life.

But as a mature man, you got to weight the positives and negatives.

The positives outweigh the negatives??? Yes if you can see both negatives and positives at once.

People usually just want to see positives and that makes them sick.

…

In the past, the negatives were seen positive. Working hard is seen positive.

But kids these days want to be on Instagram and TikTok just to dance and show off their body. Then people that used to work hard see that and are confused and now you got old people dancing.

So in life, life is to work hard all the time and that is seen positive.

That is all it is.

…

The last 2 generations and somewhat millennials thought living easy is right. That is completely wrong.

Do all the hard work.

Eventually you do or else you are out and sick.

…

I did the work and got something. Was it hard. Yes as no one was doing it as they were complaining that updating scripts and registry keys was just too much to handle for a person.

So I did the hard work eventually …

…

So what do you learn? Do the hard work and get old not bothering with immature young people who compare and say your contribution is bad because they think 2 dimensional.

And move to an area like Oshawa to work most of the day to avoid coloured thinking. That is what my family had to do as a full South Vietnamese and we are OK now.

Retiring at 37 years old is great … So now you understand what I mean … Tons of instant coffee and inexpensive tea and dollar store cookies.

Basically you build the brain and mind and experiences to handle the negative as positive.

When you can rework and reroute negative thinking of yourself and others into positive you made it.
