  • 安全了，又空虛了。

    昨日收到了新的護照。為期4個月的申請過程終於完結。我們一家總算有後路了。 真是既可喜又可悲。 可喜是老婆和我有幸有條件着草。真心感激我們父母。我們實在好不幸運。 可悲的，當然就是要走佬。作為香港人，我們從小就體會到，其實一切都是借回來的。而期望任何東西變得可靠、變得值得我們去依靠、去當作寄託，都是不實際的、不智的。 未來本來就是迷糊。而寄託，究竟是為面對未知的未來的錨，還是指南針？我想我心裡希望的是以寄託為錨，讓自己感覺穩定一點、安全一點。還是其實寄託更應像指南針，用來幫助自己有方向地飄流瀚海？ 還是我完全錯了？還是我對寄託的期望和理解徹底錯了？

  • The Journey of Learning Colemak Keyboard Layout

    In summary, it was a change driven by the ego (I am special- I type with the most efficient keyboard layout), and adopting this alternative keyboard layout has some benefits that don’t outweigh the real life inconveniences. I decided to switch to typing using the Colemak keyboard layout from the more common QWERTY keyboard. The…

  • How Much Do I Charge My Clients?

    ( Original Post: https://enlivenworks.com/fees/ ) I charge 2% of Your Monthly Salary. How? Why? Why Are You Sharing This?

  • Unified Theory of the 10% Me

    Some say, on the internet, people only get to see 10% of anyone. Hence, all we need to do, is to make sure this 10% of us is clear and interesting. The opposite of that is the confusion it brings when this “10% me” is a random mixed tape of the “100% me.” Grand Unified…

    Which leads to better communication? Hacking our listening or questioning skills? The latter. Wait, what? “Creativity is problem formulation.” Murray Gell-Mann. Let’s think about it. Useful questions come from clear listening, empathy, the alchemy of analysing and intuiting, self control, patience, curiosity … Practice asking questions is a ultimate compound exercise. It trains a bunch…

    The road in the end taking the path the sun had taken,into the western sea, and the moon rising behind youas you stood where ground turned to ocean: no wayto your future now but the way your shadow could take,walking before you across water, going where shadows go,no way to make sense of a world…
