Up to this day, the biggest regret I have from my younger days is: I didn't know myself, and I didn't even try to. I assumed that once I hit a certain age, I will understand about life, I will know all the things that I need to know to have a life full of … Continue reading Know thy self

Mother
“Mothers have martyred themselves in their children’s names since the beginning of time. We have lived as if she who disappears the most, loves the most. We have been conditioned to prove our love by slowly ceasing to exist. What a terrible burden for children to bear—to know that they are the reason their mother … Continue reading Mother
Indecisive
A few years ago, I started to leave the concept of right decision or wrong decision; from that point, I believe that every decision I made brings me to a new place with a whole new set of chance and challenge.

When I do my treadmill, the only thing I listen is my pop-rock-playlist. My mind is continuously thinking: when will this tiring session ended. 😅 I start to like my … Continue reading Pop-Rock

So today, I completed the James Clear's book, Atomic Habits, I would say it's a light volume of self help books, just around 200 pages read. I read it in two sittings. There are some interesting ideas and there are some pages that feels quite 'off' for me. Some interesting pages in the atomic habits … Continue reading Linked

The surprising success of equal-weighting schemes has an important practical implication: it is possible to develop useful algorithm without any prior statistical research. Simple equally weighted formulas based on existing statistics or on common sense are often very good predictor of significant outcome.
