Forrest Gump & Box of Chocolates
When i titled my blog “happiness in pursuit” i had the movie Forrest Gump behind it as well. Watched it countless times, and again just this past Sunday evening. Sure, its an old movie, and maybe there are tons of reviews existing, but this is my interpretation and critique of the movie. Follow destiny – Sure, he may not be …

white guys are scary barbarians
Trying to change my perspective, and noting what others have said, i would have to discuss the fact that in asia, white guys have been flagged as scary, or even barbarians. Well, if you back to “white” people, it goes to europe – an area that was in countless wars between its own countries and invading other lands. “americans” today …
why cant we be the next donald trump?
I remember being a little boy, looking upwards at adults, wow, so tall, so smart, so experienced. My problem, is in some ways i treat myself still like that little boy looking up at the big boys, why?

Trusting People And Scaling a Business
I have to admit, it has always been difficult for me to fully trust a person…..which, is the opposite many people think of me.

Crazy Guangzhou City – America is so far away!

For example, today i traveled back to shenzhen city from guangzhou city…..took the long, …
did google destroy the service world?
Bet that headline caught your attention, right? well, in some way, i would have to say google…..or more appropriately the internet itself, may have destroyed the service based industry…. Why would i say something crazy like this, and secondly, is what i say really all that bad? But if you think about things before there was internet….i remember as a …
Why I use twitter, and why you should too!
When i first signed up for twitter, it was around summer 2008, i cant remember how i heard about it, i remember it was during a spyble all night development day. I signed up and it then said “what are you doing now?” i said, doing finances. Logged off, and never looked at it for a few months…. Kept hearing …

Update in Business Life
My last post i talked mainly about where i have physically been, i think now i want to discuss what i have been focusing on with business. Loadpipe – this has been in my head for over 2 years….now i have to stop having people nickname it as a “pipe dream” (all talk, never making it) and now i have …
