On the best political speech by Tsai Ing Wen

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

Again, this is another one that I truly like. Best political defeat speech by Tsai Ing Wen. Like said on my previous post, I viewed this message as motivational rather than political.

The message speaks to me. The agony of defeat. I have had faced many times in my journey of life. There is nothing more painful than to admit to yourself that you have failed and worst of all…to admit it in front of so many people.

Ms. Tsai said, they almost reached the top of the mountain but they fall short on the final mile. Same as for me, every time when I thought I had a grasped on my trading method, but its seems I have many miles to go. Like Ms. Tsai said, we can cry to let out our frustration but we should not give up. We should move forward. We can do better and one day; we will complete that final mile.

Very motivational for me….

On Taiwan election advertisement

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012


This is one of the best election advertisement at least from my opinion. Its speak to me…somehow. I see this message in another context. Not political but motivational. I understand being too slow or too fast in making life or business choices.

Too fast in making a decision, you are too ahead of your time. Too slow will result in being out of favor in the marketplace. Every single day, I am seeking the right time and place to make that right decision.

On Barcamp Hong Kong 2011

Monday, November 21st, 2011

PB121868-Editar-Editar
Barcamp Hong Kong 2011 – The 5th year. Same time as I have been in Hong Kong. This year I really did not stay for the talks. I went to take some photos at the introduction and left at around 11.45am.

PB121871-Editar
Usually I have my drawing class on Saturday. This year…I did not do much at Barcamp.

PB121877-Editar
From the Barcamp introductions and the board schedule, I get a feeling the startup scene was much stronger as compared to the previously.

PB121881-Editar
A lot of apps developers. This year…apps dominate the Barcamp scene. Old dawg like me…just don’t fit anymore.
