Today is mayor, local officers, and representative election in Taiwan. The dominant party lost most of cities mayors, only kept 5. Worst result since its inception 36 years ago. People want peace instead of war, justice instead of favoritism, good lives (substance) instead of words. Power of people, salute to rightness!

行行出狀元 Master in All Walks of Life
I heard from a friend who had a technician to repair a dryer for her. He charged $210 and it’s considered a reasonable price. What’s more interesting is that it’s his 8th projects that day and 2 more to come to close the day. Imagine how much money the electrician is making (of course, lots …

I Can Do it
House drama after drama: tenant negotiations, permit application, closing extension, etc. It’s frustrating to see that people know what to do and reminded by others yet don’t do it till last minute. It amazed me, telling the truth and being collaborative (for some people) could be so difficult. It’s also sad to see highly educated, …
For Joe
I joined Sales & Marketing Toastmaster in Oct ’19. Immediately, I was impressed with Joe’s wit in the table topics and how he presented…full of energy yet relaxed, everything flew naturally and it felt so “easy”. Moreover, he got everybody laugh. Regardless of the topics, Joe was able to tell a story and put the …
Believe
I watched an interview of a para-athlete who ran on 2 prostheses after Boston Marathon. He came to Alaska from Africa with a running scholarship then lost his legs by frost yet he had a big smile on his face…he said “I’m the same person, strong…believe your mind, you can do anything…Thanks to the organizer …
Risk-Taking? Accountability
Aunt’s friends admire her ‘bravery’ to take risks膽子大. Aunt said she is not brave, neither gambling; actually she is conservative. What she does is to assess the risk and determine if she can manage the worst case scenario, if so, go for it. Once she made the decision, she’d stick to it to make it …
