The Moment Where A Single Child Changed My View on Passion
Three days before New Year’s Eve, I was outside buying food, thinking about my future. Uncertainty, demotivation, and deliberate inaction were mountains I shouldered on a daily basis, and I have no idea what’s going on. I also don’t have any plans to do anything about it too. Over the months, I felt that my … Continue reading The Moment Where A Single Child Changed My View on Passion
Building A Business
Recently, I’ve been hit with a realization about my career. It started off with simple daydreaming, but the more I think about it, the more it scares me.

I Did An Experiment And It Was Successful
I tried experimenting with six scheduled post today. I had mixed results, but I had one post that did extremely well. I think the reason why it worked so well because of the hook.

The College Friend I Respect The Most
I was having a lot of trouble recently. I've been barely keeping up with our thesis, and our group is on its way to finishing it without me. I felt bad, really bad.

I’ll Forever Remember This Moment
I’ll always remember this moment in time when I'm relatively poor.
