Writing practice

 I started drinking beetroot juice and lemon water. Also, have a teaspoon of olive oil in the morning. I look at myself in the mirror and I look healthy as fuck. But yeah I've been having some discomfort around my left chest area. Perhaps I am reacting more sensitively to it because it's near my heart (or perhaps it's the heart) but I have been getting quite stressed about it. I should probably visit the doctor soon. Although, I will say that it has been getting better and better. I do think it will go away soon and I'll be feeling hundred percent again. It made me think of my mortality though, and reevaluate my why. Like would I still be working so hard if I knew that my time was limited before I can accomplish my greatest ambition? Would I rather enjoy fishing at a remote area, and live a humble life with a small happy family? I don't know. There's something so appealing to me about reaching my greatest potential. To achieve and conquer what most fail to do. T...

 I am downing the coffee juice and making the brain juice flow with writing this blog. Had a little argument with dad which pissed me off, but then realized that he was just projecting his insecurities and childhood traumas. I'm not saying it's alright because it has affected me my entire life, but at the same time, I have some empathy for him since it is in some ways out of his control. He's a product of his environment and maybe my grandparents were very strict with him or maybe he got bullied by boys in school, who knows? Either way, I should be glad that I didn't turn out the same way, and I can see the flaws. Not saying that I don't have my own flaws, but I can see the flaws which I don't have. So what are my flaws? Well, I can be lying to myself, or not keeping promises. I find a way to self-justify. I am in process of fixing that though. I can be quite negligent when it comes to taking care of my own body. I can be quite detached from things. Either way, ...

     Despite the one step back from the blunder of having to waste 2k usd down the drain, I still had another bullet, as I talked about in the previous blog. I spent the whole day walking around Sinchon and Hongdae looking for a new house. On top of it all, I also decided to do a version of Ramadan, where I can only drink water, coffee, and chew gum. At the end of the day, running around everywhere, I finally found the spot. I loved it, Sean loved it, my parents loved it, and even one of my girls loved it. I was a bit lacking in funds, and somehow I managed to ask Sean for the extra 700 usd (altho still 700 usd short, but that can come out of my pocket). Anyways, I did not miss my second bullet. so In theory, by May I should be making 6 million krw in profits. Things get a bit abstract as the size of the operation grows. But I will try my best to keep a tight grip on things. Let's say that on Mondays and Wednesdays, I will be doing the accounting. The most boring days, ho...

    Not everyday is sunny.  I have made a great error in my business. Probably the second biggest mistake since the issue I had with customs while I was importing goods. But I was able to make up for the losses with the partially imported goods that got through. In this case, I think the situation is more tricky. I straight up lost about $2k signing a contract, which at the moment, I knew was a problem. There was a big ass sign saying that Airbnb is illegal in that building, and there could be fines and imprisonment (a bluff but scary for guests nonetheless). I suppose the sunk cost fallacy played a part there because I put in $500 initially to seal the contract. Also at that moment, I didn't exactly know that I was straight up losing $2k. I thought I would figure out a way. I talked to Sean and Ayob about it, and they both said just go for it. There are 4 other people running it in that building no problem. I don't know if I don't have enough balls as an entrepreneur, or...

 The unexpected happened! Sean Lawrence actually invested $3000 into my business. It would be quite hard for me to invest my money like that, but then again he did see the level of efficiency with which I was operating here. In return, he gets about 330% return for his investment, which is really good indeed. For me, over the year, I will earn about an extra $7500 which I would not have made otherwise. The more money we can make for everyone, including myself, the happier we all are. So I will have to buckle down on managing my finances and make sure that there is no mistake in the bookkeeping. Unintentionally, I have received funding from both Sean Lawrence and my father, so I will have pretty much doubled my income in the coming months. I am going from 2 rental homes to 4 rental homes. As this one Instagram reel said, "you get paid for the amount of value you provide. So can you double or triple that value? 10x it? Of course you can". And indeed that's exactly what I am...

Today I am going to try something new and write in an interview form with chat gpt. hi, I want to interview you. Tell me a bit about yourself Hello! I'm ChatGPT, a language model developed by OpenAI. I'm designed to assist users in generating human-like responses to a wide range of topics and questions. I have been trained on a vast corpus of text data, including books, articles, and web pages, to understand the nuances of language and the context of various subjects. I am constantly learning and evolving to improve my ability to communicate effectively with humans. So, what questions do you have for me today? Let's start with a cliche question. Do you have a conscious? As an artificial intelligence language model, I do not have a conscious experience or feelings like humans do. I am a machine learning model that operates based on a set of algorithms and statistical patterns. While I can process and generate human-like responses to various inputs, I do not have subjective e...

     So I got Twitter blue the other day, which I think is pretty cool. Elon Musk is one of my role models so I like to support him whenever I can. On another note, I learned of this new concept called reality transurfing. Well, I guess they are concepts that I already am familiar with, but when put together introduce a new model of thinking which is quite fascinating. So the idea is that because time is just a concept, past, present, and future exist at the same time. We are just going through it with the light of consciousness. And then combined with the concept of a parallel universe, whenever I make a split decision, reality splits into another reality. So when you put these ideas together, you come to the conclusion that you coexist with infinite versions of yourself in the future, where you are a doctor, a famous or mediocre soccer player, and a multi-billionaire. The interesting part is that there is not just one version of me that's a multi-billionaire, but infini...

 If the business world is an f1 race, then I think that the hiatus at Ayob's house was a pit stop for me. I have been racing and racing, and my mind was at the point of burnout as a tire about to be worn out. In the big picture, it is a good thing that I took a break, and an implosion has been averted. It's a good thing to see things from a distance, and I think that I need a more solid foundation. I need to focus on my healthy diet and a solid workout routine. I need a strong mind and body to handle the stress of business and be consistent. So perhaps this is my number 1 priority. Number 2, perhaps I need to restructure my company. I do believe that there is a fundamental flaw in the structure. The core hire I have at the moment is perhaps not qualified for the job, albeit she is very reliable. It is a tricky choice to make, because if I don't pay then I might not get anyone who wants to work at all. But at least my current employee does want to work for free. I think havi...
