Sometimes being with old people makes you whole again.

Your greatest enemy isn’t other people, bad luck, or the state of the world. Those forces exist, but they don’t decide your direction. What truly shapes your life is the meaning you attach to what happens and the thoughts you let take root.
Circumstances can pressure you, but they only gain power when your inner dialogue turns against you. Doubt, fear, and unchecked beliefs quietly influence your decisions long before any external obstacle does.
Your mindset is not a soft skill; it’s your survival system. Guard it deliberately, strengthen it daily, and remove what poisons it. What grows in your mind eventually becomes the life you live.

I intentionally obscure the reminder messages on my phone to force myself to think more deeply. This time, it took me a moment to understand the connection. When it finally clicked, it caught me off guard—but thankfully, I got it. The message was simple: my car needed to be submitted for maintenance.

That small delay reminded me of something bigger—how we manage not just things, but people, time, and attention. Attention doesn’t fail because the mind is weak; it fails because too many things demand to be held at once.

There’s a quiet discipline in choosing.
One task before the next.
One thought before the next.
One priority before the noise returns.

When the day feels heavy, it isn’t always a lack of motivation.
Sometimes, it’s simply a case of too much.

I called it a day late in the evening. When I have time, I sometimes drive past my mom’s house, even pulling into the driveway just to catch a glimpse of her face. I usually wave, and that small moment is enough for me.

For this night, I almost forgot that I had promised my niece and nephew a boat ride. They were already there, waiting for me. We went out on my car and cruised around the city until they grew sleepy, just like they always do.

Moments like that make me realize how much I want a big family of my own. I dream of having a dozen kids—little buddies to play ball with, laugh with, and share all kinds of games and adventures.

I’m sleepy. Good night.

The mornings have been slow lately—unhurried, almost weightless. There’s nothing pressing to worry about; I’ve delegated the responsibilities well, and the team leaders are handling things capably. Compared to this time last year, these past few weeks feel noticeably quieter, like a pause between louder chapters.

This time, I chose to stay in an apartment. Not out of convenience, but intention. I wanted to keep an eye on a business opportunity forming in the background—something subtle, not ready to announce itself yet, but present enough to demand attention.

Old friends and acquaintances have been resurfacing unexpectedly, inviting me to lunches and dinners without any particular occasion. Even a children’s party I hadn’t known about until the invitation arrived. These casual gatherings, unplanned and ordinary, feel strangely grounding—as if life is reminding me that connection doesn’t always need a reason.

I’ve also had another bloodletting. I donated blood to someone I’ll never meet, someone whose name I’ll never know. Just a few packets, nothing dramatic—but it slowed me down. I felt deeply tired afterward. No fever, no illness—just an exhaustion that settles into the bones and asks you to be still.

One observation keeps returning to me: the more acquaintances you allow into your life, the more connections multiply—and with them, opportunities. Networks don’t grow in isolation; they grow in shared meals, passing conversations, and moments that seem insignificant at the time.

That’s why I don’t like traveling alone in my car. I prefer a bus full of people. I want to eat and dine among ordinary human beings, to feel the quiet hum of shared existence. Because it gets very quiet at the top—too quiet sometimes. And in that silence, you begin to understand the value of being surrounded by others, even if only for a moment.

Work was mostly suspended because of the storm, so I rushed to my mom’s place to check on her and make sure she wasn’t alone. The little ones were there too, offering warmth and constant cuddles against the cold weather.

After that, I went around our community extension program centers, including the underwater scuba diving facilities, to check their readiness in case an emergency response was needed. I also went through my bug-out bag and restocked supplies—turns out I had a lot more expired items than I expected.

Later, I helped the local fishing community with our coral propagation program. I had to dive with the team to inspect the coral stacks and make sure they were properly secured. If they weren’t, the current could snap them loose and push them inland, where they could cause damage.

By afternoon, the rain became constant. Still, it was a gentle, steady rainfall—almost calming. I found myself quietly praying that we’d all be alright.

On washout.

My comrades invited me out for a heavy meal last night. Whenever we gather like that, we expect something big to happen—but we are always ready. Ready to face whatever challenge decides to show itself.

The rain fell all night. Not as violent as the storms we’ve known before, but heavy and relentless. It flooded specific areas, turning once-familiar streets into useless paths, swallowed by water and uncertainty.

As part of our community extension program, we stepped in where we were needed most—handling communication and logistics, especially when the government had to reach places that were nearly impossible to access. There was no water. Electricity was limited. Yet we moved anyway.

Our priority was simple: make sure those who needed help had choices. The chance to leave while there was still time. The chance to be safe before chaos could tighten its grip.

In moments like these, survival isn’t just about strength—it’s about preparation, unity, and answered prayers quietly working in our favor.

This storm looked very strong. Are you alright? And your family?

[Phoenix]

Yes we are alright, thank you very much for the concern.

My parents’ home is on higher ground, but everything around it was flooded. The city is still struggling to clear the mud and bring essential services back to the affected areas.

A long time ago when dad was still around, we had this terrible tropical storm Washi - a thousand died that time.

I am still actively helping communities affected by the recent storm. From past experience, I’ve learned that the longer recovery takes, the deeper inequality grows. Delays don’t just slow rebuilding—they widen the gap between those who can recover quickly and those who cannot.

I led and coordinated the repair of damaged water pipelines, making sure densely populated areas were prioritized. Water quickly became the most critical challenge, as flood surges easily severed supply lines. While I listened closely to city officials and other stakeholders, I also made it a point to always have alternative plans in place so objectives could still be achieved despite changing conditions.

To address the immediate water shortage, I volunteered my trucks, loading them with water tanks and deploying them to the hardest-hit areas. Other volunteers stepped in without hesitation, using the trucks to pack and distribute essential supplies for affected families. The response showed how quickly action multiplies when people are given the means and the trust to help.

Beyond physical recovery, emotional healing mattered too. Our company’s training team joined the effort by organizing activities for children, giving them a safe space to process fear, stress, and loss caused by the calamity. In moments like these, rebuilding communities means caring for both infrastructure and people.

This experience reinforced a simple truth: when people choose to work together, good things happen—faster recovery, stronger communities, and hope where it’s needed most.

I have automated my listening schedule, but I recognize that I can still miss a session occasionally. From personal experience, I’ve noticed that breakthroughs tend to happen when I’m not overly attached to strictly following the listening plan.

I want to intentionally schedule a normal rest period — one full week each month — even if the month has fewer than 30 days. During my regular routine, I listen for the full 15 minutes, followed by proper exercise and some sun exposure.

There are times when I rush to a meeting and fall short of the 15 minutes or miss one of the two titles. When that happens, I feel discomfort or pressure in my head, and I realize I need to stop. However, whenever I exercise — even just taking a walk in the park — I start to feel fine again.

I’ve observed that many good things and even breakthroughs tend to happen the next day when I’ve had a good night’s sleep, maintained a balanced diet, and kept a relaxed attitude. It seems that rest, balance, and flexibility are just as important as consistency.

The city is still recovering after the storm, and in this quiet period of rebuilding, I feel it is the right time to reflect on my goals.

One of my long-standing goals is to achieve ISO certification for my company. I used to admire my uncle’s company for being ISO-certified. Although certification is not mandatory, it represents something meaningful — international credibility, operational discipline, and a commitment to quality, safety, and efficiency.

ISO certification brings many benefits: improved customer satisfaction, stronger operational systems, reduced risks, better employee morale, increased revenue potential, and broader market access. More importantly, it signals seriousness and responsibility. It tells our clients that we stand behind what we do.

Looking back, I cannot clearly remember what held me back before. But I do know one thing: I have never chosen employees based solely on their titles. What matters to me is whether they truly deliver and align with the company’s vision. If they do, they belong on the team.

Now, we are just a few steps away from completion.

ISO means a lot to me. International Standards give consumers confidence that products and services are safe, reliable, and of good quality. From road safety to toy safety to secure medical packaging, ISO standards help make the world safer and more trustworthy.

Regulators and governments also rely on ISO standards to develop sound regulations, knowing they are built on the expertise of globally recognized professionals.

For our company, achieving ISO certification is not just about compliance. It is about commitment — to quality, to discipline, to trust, and to long-term growth.

I own a private jet.

The original plan was simple: Once my brothers joined our family’s corporate warehousing business., I would fund my travels using income from my other investments. But life didn’t unfold that way. Instead of vacationing more, I became even more focused on work. I still travel — just not as often as I imagined.

At first, it bothered me. The plane wasn’t “working” for me. Owning an aircraft is like owning real estate — constant costs, maintenance, crew, fuel. Like most luxury assets, it can easily become more of a liability than an asset.

But during this storm recovery period, everything shifted. I began offering my plane to transport goods and supplies to hard-hit areas for free. It wasn’t a strategy — just the right thing to do.

And as I’ve learned time and again, kindness has a way of returning — often unexpectedly.

Recently, my office received a message from a stranger asking if the plane was available for charter. In our country, many of the best beaches don’t have large commercial airports — and maybe that’s a blessing. It preserves their natural beauty. Smaller aircraft like mine suddenly make sense. Now, my pilot is busy.

I’ve always chosen to stay in hotels or apartments rather than owning a personal residence. In those spaces, I meet people. Conversations turn into ideas; ideas turn into opportunities. A house can become another fixed liability. I prefer mobility and connection.

It’s the same principle with the plane — and with everything I own.

I want assets to work for me.
I don’t want to work endlessly just to pay for assets.

That’s the shift.

Every Storm is a Sunshine

There was a time when I felt like I was barely breathing — a time I call Dragons Reborn and Emperor. It was a period of inner battle and transformation. Back then, I complained. I blamed myself. I blamed others. Old emotions resurfaced — unresolved pain, disappointment, regret. It felt like I was reliving parts of my past that I thought I had already left behind.

It was the darkest and loneliest chapter of my life.

But instead of drowning in it, I made a choice. I chose not to dwell on who I had been. I shifted my focus toward who I wanted to become. That decision changed everything.

Entering the “eye of the storm” is not what people think it is. It is not a place of victory or visible progress. It is not about gaining. It feels more like losing — losing old identities, old attachments, old illusions. It feels like a reset. A pause. A silence where nothing seems to move.

And that is why many people stop there.

Because in the eye of the storm, you are not building — you are stripping away. You are confronted with the residual emotions of your past. If you still carry them, they pull at you. They whisper doubts. They try to drag you backward into the familiar.

The time it takes to step into the life you truly want depends on the decisions you make in that stillness. The present choice determines the future self.

When I finally decided to move — truly move — I stepped out of the eye and back into the storm. It wasn’t comfortable. Growth never is. But that was the moment I learned something powerful: instead of fighting the storm, I could learn to ride it.

Healing is not a one-time event. It is a process. Even after growth, we still encounter pain, disappointment, and difficult emotions. The difference is that we are no longer shattered by them. What once felt unbearable becomes manageable. What once stopped us becomes something we walk through — almost like a storm we know how to navigate.

Emotions work the same way. When we are unhappy or disconnected from ourselves, we complain. We blame. We stumble. We fall behind. We react to life instead of responding to it.

But when we learn to love ourselves — and that is the first and most important step — everything shifts. We stop chasing validation. We stop fighting every wave. Instead, we ride the storm. We move with life rather than against it.

That is when contentment begins. Not because the world has changed — but because we have.

While I was remotely managing my other business, which thankfully was not affected by the calamity, I felt a strong responsibility to help our city recover. Even from a distance, I was coordinating operations for my company, but my heart was focused on what was happening on the ground—families displaced, homes damaged, and communities struggling to rebuild.

One day, I received a call from my mother asking if I could help deliver small, home-cooked meals to the affected areas. At first, I hesitated. I told her that there were already many volunteers and organizations providing assistance. However, when I arrived home, I was deeply moved to see that she had gathered several helping hands in our kitchen. They were busy preparing meals with care and compassion, determined to contribute in their own simple way.

That moment changed my perspective. I truly salute those who give, even in small ways. No one can fully measure how much a simple meal or a small act of kindness can mean to someone who has lost so much. In times of crisis, even the smallest gesture can restore hope and dignity.

Another reason I committed myself to this work is the belief that meeting people’s basic needs prevents further suffering. When people go hungry and feel abandoned, frustration can grow, and that can lead to unrest and more problems. Providing food and support is not just charity—it is also a way of preserving peace and stability within the community.

During one of the trips to deliver goods, I brought my brother’s daughter with me, with her parents’ permission. She proudly calls herself her grandmother’s “reporter,” always eager to share stories about what she sees and experiences. I wanted her to witness firsthand the importance of compassion, service, and community spirit.

The city still has a long way to go in its recovery. There is debris to clear, and the roads remain covered in thick mud. We all have to wear masks because of the dust in the air. After each trip through the affected areas, my car would be so covered in mud that I could barely recognize it anymore.

Despite the exhaustion and the challenges, I am grateful to be part of the recovery efforts. In times like these, we are reminded that resilience is built not only by grand actions, but also by ordinary people choosing to care, to give, and to show up for one another.

There are times when I join team-building activities with my employees, and during one evaluation exercise, someone described me as: “Dangerous — gravely dead when provoked.”

I remember reading that and feeling surprised. I couldn’t imagine why someone would see me that way.

Looking back, I realized that in the past, many people would almost tiptoe when standing in front of me. Perhaps my focus, intensity, or high standards created an image of someone unapproachable. Leadership can sometimes be misunderstood when firmness is mistaken for hostility.

But what people may not always see is how I truly lead behind the scenes.

I have an employee named Derick who has ADHD. To me, that was never a disability. I don’t see limitations first—I see potential. Where others might see difficulty, I see opportunity. Our HR team would sometimes describe his condition like a “fever.” The higher the pressure or stress, the more jittery he would become, and the more his performance would suffer.

But instead of labeling him or sidelining him, I chose to understand him.

I don’t remove people just because they struggle in one area. If someone becomes complacent or misplaced, I move them to roles where I believe they can thrive. I work beside them. I guide them. I empower them.

Sometimes I ask questions like,
“If you were the manager, what decision would you make?”
“How would you make this work?”

I want them to think, to own their decisions, to grow into leadership themselves.

And when mistakes happen, I don’t isolate them in blame. I don’t make them feel alone. I carry the responsibility with them. That way, they feel supported—as if they have a guardian walking with them, not abandoning them at the first sign of failure.

Today, Derick is one of my managers.

The leadership style I modeled for him, he now practices with his own team. Yes, he still has ADHD. But you wouldn’t notice it as a weakness. He has learned how to manage it, and more importantly, he has gained confidence. His condition no longer defines him—his capability does.

What I’ve learned is this: when we truly empower people, they rise. Regardless of their condition, background, or challenges, people perform when they feel trusted, supported, and valued.

Maybe I am “dangerous” in a way—but not in destruction. I am dangerous to limitations, to labels, to ceilings placed on people.

Because when you give someone belief, structure, and responsibility, they will always find a way to get the job done.

Once a year, we come together to celebrate Chinese New Year — one of the most special occasions in our family. We are fortunate to have many holidays throughout the year, an extended Christmas season, and more breaks than most, but this celebration feels different. It carries something deeper — tradition, culture, and home. Kung Hei Fat Choi!

It has always been part of our culture that, with or without formal invitations, people simply return home for this day. It’s understood. It’s expected. It’s felt.

Every year, I make sure to visit Mom. One of the reasons — honestly — is because I love eating whatever she prepares for the occasion. There’s something about her cooking that no restaurant can ever replace. My brothers and their families come, relatives drop by, neighbors show up, and suddenly the house transforms into a living, breathing celebration. An instant party comes alive.

It reminds me so much of our childhood. Back then, we had a small modular pool for the kids and a simple playground set up outside. Everyone contributed food; it was never about who brought what, but about sharing. Today, I didn’t bring anything — I just wanted to show up, mingle with old neighbors, and spend time with my brothers.

This year’s celebration felt unique. There were more kids than adults, yet somehow they didn’t have the same wild energy we once had. When we were young, we played from morning until evening. We only paused to eat, take a quick nap, then eat again — and return to playing. The party only ended when we finally admitted we were too tired to go on.

Mom, as always, had her own special way of navigating conversations. She never entertains politics — the moment it comes up, expect her to quietly disappear. But mention marriage, food, or vacations, and she’s fully present and happily engaged. Those are her favorite topics.

The celebration started at 10 in the morning. By a little past 2 p.m., most guests had gone home. What remained was the best part — just me, my brothers, and Mom. We spent hours going through old photos, sharing stories, laughing, teasing each other, and cracking jokes. Those quiet moments after the crowd leaves are the ones that stay with you.

We also have a family habit: before going to bed, we make sure the oldest in the family has the best place to rest, complete with blankets and comfort. During special occasions, we don’t like sleeping in separate rooms. We prefer to sleep together in one room, close and packed in — just like when we were kids. There’s comfort in that closeness.

And for the first time, my brothers got to see me cook — not just for them, but for their families too. It felt like a small milestone, a new chapter woven into an old tradition.

Chinese New Year isn’t just a holiday for us. It’s memory, family, laughter, food, and love — all gathered under one roof, even if only for a day.

I want to share how I motivate and develop my employees.

I lead a diverse workforce—people from different cultures, backgrounds, and belief systems. I make it a point not to discriminate or favor one group over another. Diversity, to me, is not just a demographic fact; it is a strength that, when managed well, enriches the company’s perspective and performance.

To manage effectively, I organize employees into groups. While some may assume grouping people by background or belief creates division, my intention is the opposite. The goal is not segregation—it is gradual integration. I want employees to feel the company culture naturally, not have it imposed abruptly. By allowing them to adjust at their own pace, they internalize the values more authentically and sustainably.

Each group has a leader who is responsible for submitting regular reports. These reports are separated into two parts: what has actually happened on the ground, and what the company expects them to accomplish. This distinction helps me see both reality and direction—where we are and where we are headed.

One principle I strongly uphold is discouraging the use of artificial intelligence tools when writing these reports. My reasoning is simple: I want my people to think like humans, not function like robots. I’ve observed that many who rely heavily on AI tools sometimes struggle to explain or defend what they’ve written. When asked deeper questions, they appear disconnected from their own reports.

I do not care if their writing is imperfect. I do not mind grammatical errors. They can type it, or even write it by hand. What matters to me is authenticity. I want them to express themselves naturally—to make mistakes, to reflect honestly, and to grow through the process. Leadership, in my view, is about helping people develop their thinking, not outsourcing it.

Technology is useful, and I am not against it. But I believe there must be balance. Over-attachment to AI tools can sometimes distance people from their own reasoning. I’ve noticed that individuals who depend too much on these tools often struggle when asked spontaneous questions about their own work.

It has been rewarding to see my team learn and develop at their own pace. Growth looks different for everyone. My role is not to rush it, but to create an environment where people can think independently, take ownership of their ideas, and become stronger professionals—and more grounded individuals in the process.

At the end of the day, I want a company filled with human beings who think, reflect, and take responsibility—not just employees who produce polished documents.

A few precious hours with my girlfriend in the highlands felt like a world away from the noise of the city. Low-lying clouds rolled in and settled over the mountains, spilling thick white mist across our campsite by the lake. The water and the surrounding peaks — part of a picturesque mountain town in the northern region — disappeared and reappeared like a living painting, shifting with every breath of wind.

We were part of a convoy of eight rigs from the car brand I proudly represent as an ambassador. By the time we arrived, we were bone-weary from an almost eight-hour drive out of town. Many in the group had brought their wives or girlfriends — several of them professionals in investment and real estate — yet on this trip, titles didn’t matter. At heart, everyone was a hard-core overlander. Their vehicles were more than machines; they were self-contained homes built for long, extended stays off the grid.

This marked our first camping trip in over a year. Life in the capital had kept us tethered to deadlines and responsibilities. But when the chance came to spend a long Valentine’s weekend in the mountains with fellow grease monkeys and truck enthusiasts, we didn’t hesitate.

I pulled out my old tent and camp gear — slightly moldy and clearly past their prime — and packed them anyway. The journey upward was no casual drive. As we approached the mountain’s fringes, the terrain became technical and unforgiving. Manual low gear was a must unless you wanted to burn out your brakes. The higher we climbed, the narrower the road became. The final stretch was a worn strip of earth overlooking the lake, demanding slow, careful descent. Then, suddenly, the view opened beneath us — a canvas straight out of a master’s painting.

We arrived in a light drizzle, and as if on cue, a rainbow arched over the campsite. It framed the tents and vehicles in a riot of muted colors pushing through the mist. Many of the others had rooftop tents and expansive awnings that unfolded effortlessly. I couldn’t help but imagine how comfortable it must have been, sleeping elevated above the damp ground, cocooned in warmth.

We found a patch of soggy earth and pitched our tent within minutes. Only then did I realize I had forgotten a few essentials. Thankfully, the locals were selling homegrown produce and basic supplies. I even abandoned the portable espresso machine I had proudly packed and opted instead for a thermos filled with locally brewed Sagada arabica coffee — a choice that felt far more fitting for the place.

Dinner was simple, and we turned in early. That first night tested us. Rain drummed steadily against the tent, and by dawn the temperature had dropped to few degrees Celsius lower. The cold crept in quietly, settling into our bones. But I suppose that’s part of the bargain when you choose the mountains over comfort.

Morning arrived with crisp sunshine that warmed both body and spirit. With coffee in hand, we sat on our weathered camp chairs and simply stared at the lake. Its glassy surface shimmered under the light, rippling gently with the rhythm of the breeze. In that stillness, wrapped in mist and mountain air, the long drive, the cold night, and the forgotten supplies all felt insignificant.

Sometimes, the simplest escapes bring the richest rewards.

I believe my recent experience with R.I.C.H. has been quite transformative. In the past, I mentioned how it sometimes kept me awake at night, overthinking business ideas. This time, however, the effect has been the opposite—I’ve enjoyed deeper, more restful sleep and even more vivid, colorful dreams, reminiscent of my childhood.

One area I want to highlight is the listening schedule and how to make it more productive. I agree that the gradual listening approach—starting with 5, 10, 15, 20 seconds, and so on—is highly effective. It allows the mind to integrate subliminal messages gently, with less resistance. Yet, I’ve also realized that awareness of what’s happening around us is equally important, because it amplifies the changes we’re trying to bring into our lives.

To make the process more meaningful, I’ve started writing down even the smallest accomplishments and appreciating those little achievements or unique changes I notice along the way. Mistakes, too, have become valuable—they teach lessons and make me smarter. Instead of obsessing over perfect timing in my listening schedule, I focus on remembering what I’ve accomplished. By looping those happy moments and expecting more wins, I find myself receiving more than I initially asked for.

I’ve also become more mindful of my dominant emotions, observing how I respond and act in different situations. Every thought I make has the power to reshape my reality. That’s why I pay close attention to the triggers—both the ones that lead to good actions and those that tempt me toward bad ones. By recognizing them, I can consciously redirect my choices toward growth and betterment.

I don’t think this is the time to get mad — not when so many helpless people are depending on us.

Yesterday, we hauled the first batch of modular homes for assembly. It was supposed to be a hopeful milestone. Instead, we were met with one challenge after another. An accident damaged the main water supply valve. One of the trucks transporting modular home components skidded and became nonoperational. Then heavy rain poured through the night, compounding every difficulty we were already facing.

Government personnel did come to volunteer, and I appreciate the intention. But the procedures they insisted on following only delayed critical work and drained more time and money. They wanted us to stop and wait until the next day — to fix the water valve through formal channels and to assess what could be salvaged from the broken truck.

I refused.

There are people waiting — counting on us to deliver what was promised. Waiting is not neutral. Waiting means families remain without shelter for another night.

So instead, I gathered my own team. We divided into focused units:

• One team handled the disabled truck.
• Another repaired the water supply.
• A third coordinated directly with the builders to continue assembling the modular home system.

Progress may not have been perfect, but it moved forward.

I was also disappointed with the developer I contracted. In moments like this, accountability matters. When urgency is real, commitment must be real too.

Our country allocates billions for calamities. Funds are released when disaster strikes. Yet it often feels like we are better at reacting to tragedy than preventing it. Why do we mobilize so efficiently for relief, but invest so inconsistently in preparation?

Too often, aid becomes a spectacle. Faces appear on tarpaulins. Relief goods are distributed while cameras roll. Officials present themselves as rescuers of crises that better planning might have reduced. Meanwhile, the deeper question goes unanswered: where were the long-term protections? Where were the safeguards that could have minimized the damage in the first place?

Disaster response should not be performance. It should be responsibility.

The sun is up now. I have a small window to rest before the next push. There is still work to do — and people still waiting.

And that is why this is not the time for anger.
It is the time for action.
