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.

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? Most interactions I have had with potential clients always started with the fees, “How much does it cost?” The same is true when clients browse through the website, checking out testimonials, etc. “How much does it…

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…

I have been battling with my mind for a few years now. I tried talk therapy, CBT, medication, meditation, exercising, morning routines, dusk routines, pre-sleep shut down routines, mushroom elixir, you name it. What I have learned is some of these might work for some of the time. Hence it is important that I accept…

Choose Fear 😱
Accept this, and life will be easier. To be human is to go through you entire life getting used to living between these two opposing traits: The fear from uncertainty & The excitement from the unknown. Fear and uncertainties are prepotent. They exist to protect us from getting eaten by lions. But that’s the past.…
