2016, at 22 years, I just graduated and got my civil engineering degree. Little did I know, I would get super depressed over the next few months… I eventually got fired after 6 months. I ran low on cash and lived in my car for 4 weeks with no job. At this point in my …
“I’m not happy.” That’s what you tell me. Well, who said you always have to be happy when you haven’t worked for it? Happiness is at the top of the mountain somewhere. Why should you feel happy when you haven’t climbed it? It’s society that told you that you should be happy all the time …
Tonight, I caught up with a friend who I haven’t seen in over 6 months for dinner. We were talking about all the stuff that’s happened over the past few months. I also told him about a recent talk I gave 2 days ago to a crowd of over 200 people. At the start of …
The past 6 weeks were insane. I went to 17 countries in that time because my friends and I decided to drive from London to Mongolia in a shitty Fiat Panda – that’s around 15,000 miles (24,000 km). Long story short, I only got 50% along the way (pulling out in Turkmenistan) as I had …
Discipline is the secret to get whatever you want out of life. Develop a strong discipline not to seek short term gratification and not get distracted by what everyone else is doing around you. Long term gratification, that is compound interest, is what you should seek. Like Einstein said, “Compound interest is the eighth wonder …
If you asked my friends who I was three years ago (when I was 23), they would say something along the lines of: shy, awkward, unconfident, anxious, and not smart. Now, you ask people who I am now (26), they would say something along the lines of: confident, risk taker, does not give a fuck …
It’s 12:57 am on a Wednesday night. I’m lying on my bed in an Airbnb in Ho Chi Minh City. I’m telling myself: “WTF is the next step?” For the past few days and weeks, I’ve been repeating this over and over. Last week, I made $50K (that’s $75K NZD for my NZ friends) I’m …
Mental Fortitude I’ve had A LOT of people tell me that I think like someone 10 years ahead of my time. Thanks for the compliment. Not too brag or anything, but it’s because I have an iron mind. 90% of the people in the world have a WEAK MIND, and in turn, this leads to …
I’ve recently moved to Bangkok – it’s a crazy city. I’ve been traveling and living in a lot of different cities and countries in the past 8 years, ever since I left home for university: * Christchurch, New Zealand * Indianapolis, United States * Auckland, New Zealand * Chiang Mai, Thailand, * Ho Chi Minh …
So, I’m in New Zealand these days mainly because I got invited to my friend’s wedding. Two days before the wedding, I realized that I actually didn’t know where the location was or what time it was, so I sent him a message. “seen.” What? Why would you just give me a “seen”. Must be …
I’m back in New Zealand these days and being back really got me thinking about a lot of things. 1. Grandma dying 2. How my mindset has changed after living in Asia from the past 2.5 years 3. You’re where you are because you deserve to be 4. How your environment is so fucking important for …
Jeez, that was quick. Here’s me doing another annual review. It’s funny to see the progression I made from the previous years – 2016 and 2017 The theme for 2018 this year was more focused on financial growth, forgoing some of my lifestyle hobbies just so I can have the freedom to go anywhere in …
This post is for all the people who want to get laid. The people that want a bit of pussy, or the girls that want a bit of D.
Note: Perfection is the biggest productivity killer in stopping you from getting shit done. If you wanna start something, just jump in and do it. I wrote this post within 2 hours (I’m a slow writer) so it’s got a lot of holes. Heck, I didn’t even read over this so I don’t even know what …
What’s up guys, Quarter 4 of the year is coming up and what better way to prepare for this new quarter than to review my quarter 3 with my learnings and experiences. A lot of things happened in this period, and I mean a lot. I’ll try not to talk a lot about myself and …
One of the most asked questions (with no correct answer) is: “Whats the meaning of life?” Here’s my take on this question. Happiness. It’s simple. We’re here for a short time, and why not be happy while we’re here. I don’t get why people complicate this shit. First, what is it: “Happiness is a mental …
I have this thing called the “spotlight effect”. Here’s how I’m gonna beat it…
