Blue Thunder and Moon

He spent hours each day practicing and perfecting his skills, always dreaming of one day becoming a professional Monster Jam driver.

Before he knew it, he was hurtling through the atmosphere, leaving the Earth far behind.

Everyday is a vacation

I think a lot of people would love to live their life as if they are on a permanent vacation. Before I was married, I didn’t make a lot of money but felt like that everyday was a vacation. For me, vacation means: Eating out/not cooking Not cleaning Spending time outside Not working Ready to travel Eating out is cheaper than cooking, if you are not picky. I ate mostly fast food.

Time to plant

Yesterday, I ordered some tissue culture and planting supplies. Indoors plants market is huge. There is a lot to learn. There are new terms, new communities to join. But it is pretty exciting. The main reasons I decided to explore this space is because: It is slower paced. Cannot pull all-nighter to make plants grow faster. My kids should enjoy it. And I can get them involved. There are interesting methods to master like creating perfect environment for optimal growth, growing exotic plants, etc.

Follow up to my last post, the people I admire the most are usually startup founders or business people. And then creators of open source softwares. This weekend, I also met my engineer turned entrepreneur friend and saw Jobs movie. It seems I know what I should do. I want a business that gives a lot of freedom, especially freedom to be with my kids. If I can involve kids in the business, it would be even better.

“What should you do with your life”, this the question I almost ask myself daily. I am still not sure what should be my long-term goals. I have gone back and forth between pursuing my hobbies as a career, focusing on corporate career, and starting businesses. Recently, I learned a simple question that can provide you insights into your deeper aspirations. The question is: Who are your heros? Ask yourself who are your heros, who do you feel inspired by, who do you read about, and who were your heros when you were a child.

Why Midlife Crisis?

I am not sure if women experience midlife crisis but I know several men who have experienced or are still in middle of midlife crisis. I have a theory that every 20 years, men need a big change. Usually, there is a big change in 20s, people are moving out of their parents’ homes, going to college or starting their careers. And when people turn 60, they are getting ready to retire.
