I could reflect on 2011, but instead of talking about the past, I’ll talk about the future. 2011 was my transition BACK to China fulltime… doing consulting between Hong Kong, Dongguan, and Shenzhen…. going to the coworking space in mid-year and...
Here is a good break from your current stressful workflow. Reading this poem from John Lennon about the meaning of life…it does make me realize …when we are kids we are told anything is possible….yet….as we get older – more and more...
Think it’s the tough times that define us as people the most…..when you feel like everything is against you and the world is collapsing around you. I am sure I’m not the only one who has days like this. Dolly Pardon would say that in order to...
A big reason for this blog was to communicate back to home my travels and business adventures…to family and friends…and not to make long phone calls over and over to everyone repeating my crazy stories. Obviously that has grown as I get more readers...
Like my buddy @tropicalmba (Dan Andrews) says, blogging may be a waste of time if you use it to MOTIVATE YOUSELF, and publicly make promises to push yourself…then this post is going to be one of those.
Whats a podcast?
I know some of you guys reading this...
Happy Friday, about 6pm here and I’m off my morning coffees, but I thought it would be good to get it out for USA time zone Friday mornings, get some fresh eyes on this poem my Chinese friend sent me today.
Read below, I’ll add my perspective after:
Enjoy...
I’m still on email forwarding lists (ie Attila!) but every once in a while I get a great one (every 10 – 20 hehe). This one has caught my interest, a poem about a rich student who wants to play a joke on a poor farmer….only to realize the real...
Didn’t think I would come to blog about this, but its been a hot topic on my posts in facebook, twitter, and weibo….guess talking about bikes and personal life is more engaging to people then business posts! People wanna see more pics of it (folded),...
Fulfilled? Sure, there are a few things on my wish list…but for the most part, I am happy with my life and the way things are going at the moment.
I am getting warning signs from a few of my friends and advisors on this shenzhen coworking project taking too...
Committed my Sunday afternoon to finishing this book “Adapt, Why Success Always Starts with Failure” by Tim Harford, this excerpt really got my interest we are blinder than we think (page 17)….Humans cannot make the right decision every time,...
I have been behind on my blogging. A bit discouraged, in a transitional state of business and life. To top that off, overwhelmingly getting people and articles telling me to focus and that this blogging is sucking up too much time and not worth the effort.
But...
As I have said, its been a transitional time for me, maybe that is how we always grow? Learn. Challenge ourselves.
I wish I talked to my father more, but I did give him a call last night to catch up. Just the idea he supports me unconditionally has helped....
Not sure what crazy mood I’m in, but I’m sitting here thinking….I may die tomorrow….and what gets the most joy out of my life.
Its changing lives. I enjoy seeing someone learn and be able to create opportunity for themselves. While most...
Read today about a blogger, Derek Miller who planned his last blog before he died of cancer. How fragile life is, how short life is. He reflects on his life and states he is no longer afraid of death, he has accepted it.
Reading it cant help but make you think...
Spent last night making USA calls, to suppliers, clients, accountant(s) (yes, I work with 2…), trademark attorney, parents, and tried to catch some friends. Just this time difference (12 hours ahead here in Beijing timezone) makes it harder and harder to...
