Trying to raise my fur baby right. Cats & Coffee are life essentials. I read & sometimes write about what I read.

If you’re Asian, you’ll probably understand the feeling of guilt when you have “fun.” Ingrained in us to view any activity that doesn’t improve our professional life as useless. This is one reason why we’re “high achievers.” Con? Sometimes. Don’t kill it. Tame it. Be aware of it.

@MikeTheSweeney @goodreads I might as well follow the same. Thanks for sharing.

@MikeTheSweeney @goodreads Well, this is my first time and the feeling of uncomfortableness is real. 🙈

Most top books are motivational. Motivational books are like sports shoes. The joy of buying them makes you feel you’ve solved all your problems. But neither is really used by most except for status.

Maybe wanting to conquer the world shows only that one has an insufficient sense of the world and an unrealistic sense of the relation between its size and one’s own. But wanting to conquer the self? Manageable, perhaps.

My first company @twitch sold for a billion dollars.

My second one lost $75 million in 36 months.

People love talking about success, but today I'm going to talk about failure.

It's time to be honest about Atrium:

When someone who has less than you congratulates you for something always take out the time to thank them back. They have chosen to appreciate over getting jealous. The world needs more of that.
