To me, reading is one of the most rewarding human activities. You take up a book and through the texts you immediately have access to how the author thinks and acts, regardless of time and space. However, working in a fast-paced tech environment has really slowed me down a lot for this important activity in the past few years. So I decided to approach it with more disciplines in 2018.

Meanwhile, I realized that my poor memory just can’t keep up with all the ideas and insights that I gained from my reading. So I decided to write them down. This really serves as a rereading process for me and help me internalize what I read and think. And it solves the poor memory issue for me.

Encouraged by Brian, one of my sources of inspiration and reinforced by Ray Dalio’s idea of triangulating one’s thoughts with other people’s feedback to limit thinking pitfalls, I decided to build a blog to document the evolution of my thoughts and actions and share them with the wider public.

And lastly, I would like to thank the Github Pages feature and the open source community. Without them, I won’t be able to build this blog with limited knowledge on all the web development languages and tools. And it is totally free.
