Are you watching the Chinese New Year Gala? The Robot Kungfu show is mind blowing!!!

They just executed a coordinated martial arts routine with spatial precision, rhythm control, and dynamic balance adjustments in real time.

Kung fu, one of China’s most iconic traditional art forms , performed by machines built with cutting-edge AI control systems, advanced actuators, and high-speed feedback loops. Ancient discipline meets algorithmic precision.

Last year, humanoid robots stepped onto the Spring Festival Gala stage for the first time. This year, they held synchronized kung fu stances with balance that would humble half of us after leg day.

And they did it live!!! On the most-watched television event on the planet.

The progress in just one year is magical.
That’s what we call China speed.

What makes it even sweeter is where this happened.

I love how the progress is integrated in culture. In celebration. In a Lunar New Year gala watched by hundreds of millions.

It’s music to my ears.

The robots didn’t look like they were “trying” anymore. They looked like they belonged.

Their joint articulation was smoother.
Their formation timing tighter.
Their balance recovery almost elegant.
Their choreography is expressive.

That’s what happens when AI models improve, control systems get smarter, hardware stabilizes, and iteration cycles compress.

One year in robotics today is not the same as one year ten years ago.

It’s compounding.

If this is what 12 months looks like,
imagine 36.

The Chinese New Year Robot Kungfu Gala is just futuristic.

It was quite the statement!

The future is getting better very, very fast.

It was so beautiful to watch. What do you think?

I asked a billionaire this week what he'd do differently if he could start again at 21... He didn't say "invest earlier" or "take more risks."...

He said: "I'd take half the salary to work for someone smarter than me. I chased money when I should have been chasing mentors."

I really felt that...

When I look back at my twenties, every major leap came from something I learned - not something I earned.

The cash from those years is long gone. The lessons built everything I have now.

I've interviewed hundreds of people for this podcast and the pattern is unmistakable.

The ones who optimised for learning in their twenties had tremendous career foundations

Your ego will try to convince you that the higher-paying job is the better job. It will whisper about status and titles and what you'll tell people at dinner parties.
Ignore it.

A job that pays you more but teaches you less is the most expensive decision you'll ever make. You just won't see the bill for another decade.

“When agencies overcompete and forget that we’re essentially children of the same mother, we end up tearing each other down. We’ve cheapened our product and, in the process, lost the respect and value once attached to what we do,”

Rest in peace, Patricia Routledge 🙏🏻

In memory of her, I encourage everyone to read these words of hers from February last year.

Whether young or old, you're bound to get something out of it.

*****

"I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often filled with worry — worry that I wasn’t quite good enough, that no one would cast me again, that I wouldn’t live up to my mother’s hopes. But these days begin in peace, and end in gratitude.

My life didn’t quite take shape until my forties. I had worked steadily — on provincial stages, in radio plays, in West End productions — but I often felt adrift, as though I was searching for a home within myself that I hadn’t quite found.

At 50, I accepted a television role that many would later associate me with — Hyacinth Bucket, of Keeping Up Appearances. I thought it would be a small part in a little series. I never imagined that it would take me into people’s living rooms and hearts around the world. And truthfully, that role taught me to accept my own quirks. It healed something in me.

At 60, I began learning Italian — not for work, but so I could sing opera in its native language. I also learned how to live alone without feeling lonely. I read poetry aloud each evening, not to perfect my diction, but to quiet my soul.

At 70, I returned to the Shakespearean stage — something I once believed I had aged out of. But this time, I had nothing to prove. I stood on those boards with stillness, and audiences felt that. I was no longer performing. I was simply being.

At 80, I took up watercolour painting. I painted flowers from my garden, old hats from my youth, and faces I remembered from the London Underground. Each painting was a quiet memory made visible.

Now, at 95, I write letters by hand. I’m learning to bake rye bread. I still breathe deeply every morning. I still adore laughter — though I no longer try to make anyone laugh. I love the quiet more than ever.

I’m writing this to tell you something simple:

Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter — if you let yourself bloom again.

Let these years ahead be your TREASURE YEARS.

You don’t need to be famous. You don’t need to be flawless.

You only need to show up — fully — for the life that is still yours.

With love and gentleness,

Patricia Routledge

Once more, rest in peace. 🤍
