born during quarantine

interesting to note... taobao was born during quarantine. what a feat! interesting that times of difficulties brought about so many many advancements. advancements due to necessity. and so many technological advancements came about due to wars.

we are now at war vs a very very cunning virus. i wonder what happens in the coming months... what brilliant minds are at work right this minute. i wonder if signs of covid can be detected on wearables?

teach

those who can't, teach. is that true? i was told that i should consider teaching on a platform called Udemy - teach the world online. i am flattered. but what can i teach? how to talk c@#%? what am i good at?

sleeping?

thinking big?

projecting forward like a couple of decades?

surprisingly sensitive to non-verbal cues! (sometimes) so i guess that would be called luck and not skills

procrastinating (if that is a skill, i will knock it out of the park, big time...)

analyzing.... that must be it.... i found it. my skill. i can analyze anything to the minutest detail. 

hmm... maybe teaching is not a good idea.

just do it

hesitation. that is the problem. i need to listen to this daily.

trust yourself. just do it. 

hey! i think i have another blog with this title. deja vu. hey! did i also have a blog with that title!?

detox

mother earth is doing a detox. a major detox. 

this is a historical event, and i figure it would be a good time to start blogging again. it is an event that hit the whole world. tearing down borders. making us not different. it does not matter which country. what colour. how old. how rich. how smart. how pretty. we are all the same. all at risk. 

the weather seems better. making me wonder if that is how mother earth needed us to be. inside our homes. doing nothing. giving her a rest. slow everything down. 

but will we learn? will we realize the difference between needs and wants? will we just re-start and push harder than ever after having a taste of mortality and how transient everything is. how little time we actually have. how much time we spent doing the unnecessary. 

i guess we have to see if the whole world can flatten the curve. it seems if we do not do this together, at the same time, it will be futile. on second thought, perhaps it is forcing us to put up borders instead of tearing it down.....
