The current main reason for this website is that I need purpose and growth in life especially at my age now.

I am Vietnamese born in Canada and have met a lot of trouble trying to do stuff and grow along the way.

My parents are Vietnamese Boat People Refugees from the Vietnam War. They immigrated to Canada in 1979. I was born in 1984.

I am building resources and building software to fulfil my passions to become a thinker and doer in the West. As a Vietnamese born in Canada, this is my “Western goal” I want to achieve.

Also my mom said she born me as a ‘computer guy’ so I should continue to do it as I feel it feels good and a correct profession for me.

This is for my health and growth and personal development. Everyone needs a purpose.

After finishing school for a year and working and finally learning to socialize, there is nothing to do anymore here in Canada for me. It is just programming now I think. I did lots of stuff in my life and I came to this conclusion. I find it very fun. Funnest activity to do for me.

Below are solid points that changed me.

At my age of 40 now in 2024, I understand really now that you should really live your dreams here in Canada. When I was working at a large supermarket nights at 33 years old, I met a younger ‘Canadian’ who said to me all he wants to do is work as a cashier part-time while living at home with his parents and make computer/video games for himself and his close friends and family. That is what his dream was at that time. “Money and profits wasn’t the goal”. This made me think and churn. That is how rich, abundant, diverse, unique, cool, fun and smart life is here in Canada.

Roughly 20 years ago back in 2003-2005, I came back from university in Scarborough home to Ajax, Ontario. I decided to walk home from the train station for the exercise and to relax and to relieve stress. I walked through the industrial area of Ajax on my way home. I saw a middle-aged yellow Asian guy walking to the train station finished work from the industrial area. He was healthy and in good spirits. I was surprised, never have I seen a healthy happy spirited yellow Asian man here in Canada … I walked and say him a few times. Then one day I projected to him “What is life for an yellow looking Asian man?”. He projected back, it is to study hard and work hard to be proud. There was no secret. There wasn’t any misunderstanding. There was no racism. Human to human, man to man. Now I am middle-aged.

My parents yell and preach all the time to get your education while they are alive and well still here in Canada. When I go to work, I am met with the fact that work takes over every single thought and minute of my time. You can not think greater or outside of work to grow most of the time unless you have “The Thinking Jobs”. And those thinking jobs requires at least 20 years of real world working experience. 20 years either after university or when you started at 9 years old …

After programming for 4+ years since 2020, I came across this YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DevToolsMadeSimple . After programming for a while you learn from this channel. It explains broad and wide programming. It explains so far back, back 70 years. It gives you that knowledge and peace of mind to fixate you on the wide foundation to learn and speak from after you have been programming for awhile. This is programming life.

Finally after seeing Vietnamese people born in Canada in 2021, I realized they have Western dreams. As I watched them grow it showed me that life born here in Canada is to attain something that has meaning to you so you maintain your health and spirit. I watched them attain higher degrees and even get into the arts and that made me finally ‘feel’. They are really creative doing something that has so much meaning and value to them and is Western and fulfilling. Reaching those goals and more is very abundant and more and growing more. It could be everything a Vietnamese born in Canada needs?

Life outside and somewhat inside is quite negative. People project negativity all the time. It is normal. People feel kind of lost and drifting after school if they did not pursue their craft. I realized now after 1+ years finishing school and after work, you really have to keep working on yourself and your craft to grow you. Focusing on your craft will give you all the good growth and good feelings and structure. This is after I learned from my fellow Vietnamese from Vietnam. The Westernized Vietnamese I think will have to focus on their craft to maintain health and drive here in the West. Life can be really negative if you don’t do your craft. I don’t know of any other activity that will maintain your health in the West if you don’t focus on your craft. Money and professional high paying career really doesn’t solve it I think for me. You can not throw money for well-being and healthy spirit when you see the healthiest and happiest people on Earth focus on their craft in comparison. I think you ultimately want a healthy spirited life at the end to live long and happy.

Studying maths like doing programming was a way to “stop”. Stop the constant emotional impulses and moodiness of daily life. I think you can actually stop time and sit there and think. You can stop in your tracks and devise a plan to do things with programming. It is health. Not drawn from the constant moving and feelings of everyday interactions. You need to take care of your health. You have to and it naturally and timely gets to a point where you have control and health over your life.

Programmers like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs said everyone should try to do programming. Everyone should try and try. It gave me health and social control. The more you do it, the better health and control you have. You can talk back to people who don’t have this and don’t understand this. You can stand your ground. It gets more solid and solid as you build this coding skill. More structure and logical reasoning.

After school and work and some socializing individually for awhile (1+ years), I realized my path in life went well. It had to … To not get hurt from people outside no more is be yourself but also have to grow. Most people think simply (race and culture and living ‘blah’ and negative) but it does nothing for you if your people are seen in a bad light generally. Do something with your life and then be yourself with your accomplishments. Then you will have a good time at old age and have maturity. Have those accomplished goals done for old age so you aren’t a old person with nothing to show. What you pursue individually will be your light. Your uniqueness will show. Your uniqueness is all you have really to show. My life had to go well. The negative stereotypes was so bad LOL 😂! There was no other choice. Also I had to work with same frequency friends at the end or otherwise no growth or life. This is life. This is hard life. I did not know ‘all this’ but this is the way it went. The trick is to work in your field and work with people on your same frequency or just really old mature nice people. Also it does nothing right if you just are complacent and nothing is improved. You have to improve or it is not worth it. You don’t necessarily have to show the improvement outright but do it in the back of the mind and keep learning somehow. You have to keep growing and avoid all the negativity. Just do you. Again things have to improve.
