The art of repeating

Repetition can be boring. Doing the same thing over and over again. Or can be scary too when you need to deal with some unpleasant experience again and again over short period of time. For example, cockroaches in your house keep showing up. =_=! (Ugh..) But one thing I realize too is depending on the gap between one and another, it can be a good thing. Because it’s like a training, like it or not, just get used to it. […]

Are you working on your goals or your cause?

Every new year, I plan my yearly goals, like what are the activities I’d like to do, what are the new things I’d like to learn and so on. Some are completed and became my new favorite past time. But some just became bucket list activities, been there done that, ticked and hardly do it again because of new activities or just pushed down naturally.

Thoughts on automation and AI

Today is one of the memorable one. A lesson from a friend If you like public attention and to be under the limelight, then leadership is not your thing. You should consider to become celebrity instead. A leader leads and does many things behind the scene, so that […]

The art of taking a break

My friend often told me that I tend to arrange things back to back. And as a result, quite often I was rushing from one place. I feel accomplished when I finished all my errands. And I think it’s somehow addictive to me. Until recently, I easily fell sick due to pack activities. Or rather, my mind was quite tense maintaining all the details for the errands. And when you fell sick, your physical strength drops so, it will make […]
