My love of Chinese philosophy in high school

Continuous improvement ·

2022/01/20

I spent a lot of time in high school thinking about life and developing my character. I became interested in the art stream as a science student since I could study them without taking the exams. Chinese literature influenced me a lot because the poetry and essays had persisted for thousands of years and contained a great deal of wisdom. I recall one of the legends about Su Qin, a powerful political strategist in ancient China's Warring States period. He returned home in poverty and frustration

My memory in secondary school

2022/01/19

In high school, I spent the majority of my time dating girls. I wished I had spent more time and effort studying, but hormones damage a boy's brain during puberty. Unfortunately, there was no course at school that taught me about love and how to love. My family would not discuss this matter openly at home, so I learned the hard way through trial and error, which was unfortunate. I was too shy as an introvert to tell the girl I liked her. I was attracted to a gorgeous girl, and that was my first

A brief history of my childhood

2022/01/18

It's natural to begin my life tale with my mother. I would not live in this world or write this book if it weren't for her. Before I was born, I had no idea what had happened in the world. According to an interview with my mother, I was an accident rather than a plan. It's probably true because I'm an only child, and none of my aunts had any children. My mother could have chosen to abort me, but she decided against it since life is a miracle. I was born on July 31st, and I was fortunate enough to

Thank you for taking the time to listen to my podcast and go through my life journey. You most likely have your own set of problems to solve and hurdles to overcome in your life. That's why you wanted to listen to my podcast to find out how I dealt with them. You want to understand why you're stuck in life, and I've shared my personal experience with you:I failed twelve times in my first twelve love relationships. It's not that I wasn't attractive in between those relationships. After failing six

The lost message

Continuous improvement ·

2022/01/16

A WhatsApp message popped up on the screen and woke me up one night while sleeping in bed. I thought it was an emergency, but it's simply a girl who wants to say hi, "How's life, Victor?" Joanne, who was my girlfriend in Hong Kong, sent me the message. "Did you get my message?" she inquired. “Why didn't you respond?" "I changed my phone number when I relocated from Hong Kong to Singapore," I explained. My thoughts of her came into my mind as I began to wonder what had happened to the lost

The importance of public speaking

Continuous improvement ·

2021/07/24

What is your greatest fear? Some people are afraid of dogs, some people are afraid of spiders, but for most people, we are afraid of public speaking. We are constantly worried about being judged by others and being laughed at. However, I am taking a class to learn public speaking because I understand the benefit of it. It is an important skill to master, and it has an impact on three levels: personal, professional and societal. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other

How do you tell your colleague he smells

Leadership styles

Continuous improvement ·

2021/07/04

Let me ask you a question, what is the reason, for you, to quit your job? And let me guess, it is because you don’t like your boss. This is the common reason for people to resign. I got interested in research on the topic of leadership style, because I had a really bad boss. This is a public episode.

What money cannot buy

Continuous improvement ·

2021/05/09

When I was a kid, my mum always said to me, "Money is not everything, but everything needs money." This is the financial education I got from my mum. How true is this statement? I was too young to understand it at that time, but when I have grown up, I found the wisdom of the statement. This is a public episode.

Effective leadership in a technical role

Continuous improvement ·

2021/05/02

At some point in your career in a technical role, you would be promoted to a leadership role. Then you realise, having technical skills in your domain of expertise alone, is not enough to survive in the tech industry, but also, you would be facing a lot of challenges to deal with, and different crises to handle every day. So, here’s the bad news and good news. The bad news is that you don’t naturally equip yourself with the skills to manage your team from your technical experience. The good news is

The importance of communication

I want to communicate with you on the importance of communication as a software developer. It may sound obvious, but it would impact significantly on your career. If you ignore what I said in this podcast, maybe you would not get the high paying job that you want in the interview process, maybe you would not get the promotion that you want as you were perceived as an incapable leader, maybe you won’t get the support that you want from your team members. You would not want to put yourself in such a

I have 3 degrees from the university in Hong Kong: a bachelor of chemistry in faculty of science, a master degree in computer science at engineering school and an MBA, master of business administration.
