Why I Stopped Using Blinkist To Read
Source: https://agileleanlife.com/blinkist-review/ Thanks to Nassim Taleb. The promise of Blinkist is enticing: Finish a book in 15 minutes -> Finish many many books -> Be like Bill/Nytimes/Naval/Yuval/#TheEnlightened 🧘🏻♂️ Furthermore, supposedly, it would help you find what you want to dive deeper into so one would buy books to read instead of just for adding the…

A cockroach, Oumuamua, and squirrels.
A cockroach, Oumuamua, and squirrels. I suffer from mindlessness. When coupled with other cognitive distortions and natural selection, I am the optimal lab rat for any socialists psychologists and Buddhism monks. It was 4:30am. I woke up naturally. I wondered, if I were famous, would this fact earn me an entry into one of Business…

Becoming a Billionaire
Becoming a Billionaire This is a goal of many, including, me at various points of my life. Strangely, I was convinced by some cheesy quotes to look at this differently. Specifically, a philosophical brain twist by Jason Silva … Yea I know, that Jason Silva. Hey, I said this was cheesy. He said, “Positively affect 1…

港式Customer Service
今日2019年第一日返工，為了開個好年，一早用菠蘿包煎雙蛋齋啡款待自己，提早享受每週cheat day。 這家60多年老的茶餐廳，每年都會加價。去年一月一日早餐統一加1蚊，今年一月一日所有包都加一蚊。 皆因當時較早，大部份都是常客熟客。食住個包，我慢慢欣賞店員同客人的對答，做了個盤點： 10個客有： 5個沒說話。 4個說類似：「加價了。辛苦啦。」 只有1個說類似：「哇！加咁多？！」「又加啦？」（跟住比店員以港式CS態度還牙：「你黎做啊」「貴唔好買啊」「咁買唔買啊？下位！！」） 40蚊的早餐加一蚊，感覺還可以。但6蚊嘅包變7蚊，幅度其實很大。理論上，應該更多人會有意見。 這令我回想起一個經歷。。。 2017年底，喺同一間茶餐廳食完，長期帶AirPod寸寸貢嘅爛仔侍應，臨走時同我吹水： 「31號晚點過？」 「blah blah」 「咁下年見啦。」 「嗯，下年見。」 「過年後加價啦。」 「啊，係啊？好啦。」 「講定先，等你過年前鬧咗先。」 「哈哈。有客會鬧？」 「X，我都會X啦。變L個鍾意加價啊。所以講定先，好過新一年第一日就猛被人X。」 「所有野都加啦，可以理解嘅。。。」 「X，日日被人X唔代表今次被人X會好受啲。X就係X。」 。。。 「好啦，下年見啦。」 「嗯。」 這就是歷練60年、港式Customer Service之涅槃也。

How do I want to feel in 2019?
“Making 2018 Meaningful”: Part 3: Stepping into 2019 Last year, I wanted to focus on three things: (1) Feeling more “in the middle”(2) Feeling “the kind of happiness from looking at anything Nintendo in Japanese brings me.”(3) Feeling more “useful more consistently” With mixed results, perhaps indicators of progress, I nudged forward, gingerly. The quest…
