So it is very interesting for me to read a completely opposite perspective. Love the blog. | ||

this introduced me to quora, which is something i'd find myself liking a lot in this phase in my life. i wanted to ask a pretty broad question, how do you keep a deep and meaningful connection between what you would like to do in your career/interpersonal relationships, and what you know you need to be doing instead? just feeling it? experiencing, like most other people? do you just trust yourself? i ask this because i'm feeling pretty stuck with where i can be. lovesickness aside, i feel like i'd lose a lot of what i've built up and thought was ideal in living and understanding things as they are. is there some style of mental fortitude where i can remember and cherish things as they are now, while living a very different kind of life? | ||

Thanks, and that was exactly my thoughts too, in that, it was my intent to share, and when I do show off, it's definitely to impress a lady who holds the keys to signing a contract I need keke. | ||

I'm a simple man with simple pleasures and I don't much care for power or money or the stress and responsibility that comes with it, don't see the point in being admired, etc. So it is very interesting for me to read a completely opposite perspective. Love the blog. Cheers. Ironically, at the end of the day, I think a lot of us, want the same thing, but because of the urge of security, arrive at it at a much later date, everything exquisite and luxurious becomes old fast. The only thing that makes it a rational endeavor, in my view, is that both money and the power that comes with it (as limited as it is) can do further good, or put you in a position to react to what you may feel is a wrong. -conversely is it also the case where a lot of wrongs happen in our modern society- and it's not the only way, and it's not always a good way, but I think because of my pragmatism and my confrontational nature, it's something I personally need also to survive, I'm definitely not the Gandhi type. ^^ | ||

I wish you would post more about your business journey though, lots of insight for someone who does business in different countries too. Thanks, well, now that I've come full circle, for me, I don't think I could post anything really insightful - in that, the reason I did post was to both reflect on what I had done and share with the community, but as you can see, with the lack of regular posts, and I guess age as well, the reflection part takes a lot longer to happen,- I do feel like I climbed this massive mountain and then tumbled over down the other side, but it's where I need to be. As far as doing a lot of business in other countries, the only thing I've found is to be true, is that everyone is friends after a couple of bottles of my good friend johnny blue. ^^ | ||

Alignment. To be aligned. I don't think anyone can keep two opposing desires in check while doing one or the other thing. But in our society, we also seem to make it a choice- choose on or the other, and we can't, it's paralyzing, and it's not us. Growth. But we can grow, we can evolve and those things that make us now, end up creating a more complex and fuller person we are as we grow into the next phase of our lives, and all those things that you hold close, they are always with you, and you'll always look back on those things, but as you grow there will be other things that will mean so much more to you. My first love compares nothing to my wife, but she was someone who was a critical part of my life, which shaped part of my character and how I do love my wife. As with most of my ex-girlfriends. Or else, every job I've every had, has affected my outlook on every job since then. But it is a matter to see something ahead, that what is ahead - may not be better than what you have now, in what you judge to be good today, but as you grow, everything finds it's place. I think for those who do move on, but don't grow, everything looks better in the past, because you haven't sought out new experiences and all the challenges, joys and growth that comes with it. Like is full of unknowns and new beginnings, but if you're willing to grow with it, I don't think there will be anything to look back on, unless it's just a good memory of what brought you forward. | ||

The thing is... how much of it is believable / plausible? Or what are some good feeds to follow? Because I've been following a bunch of finance / business related feeds and all the answers I see are all downright advertising or similar... | ||

Because I've been following a bunch of finance / business related feeds and all the answers I see are all downright advertising or similar... To be frank, the number 1 posts I read are on history and star wars theories. BUT, I have seen some really awesome posts in the business sections, but I only read what is most upvoted and popular or commented on, otherwise, I don't. In terms of business knowledge, any Q&A will be very specific to a particular situation- so especially for business you need to be very picky about what advice you take etc, and that comes from reading the 'classics' first, which are nearly all outdated -because that is the nature of business- but it's a necessary background to see how good business theory/practice can be, to what everyone dribbles. I would say that maybe 1/20 books I see nowadays in the business section of a airport are crap, unless you're looking at an entry level/introductory book, then I'd say 1/10 books are ok. Go to the library first and read the last 5 years of Fortune/Bloomberg & Fobes magazines -cover to cover-, then go back to Quora and you'll be able to see the gems. ^^ | ||
