  • 💻 My Favorite Subject in School

    What was your favorite subject in school?

    It feels like a long time ago — those student days when life was simpler, yet full of discovery.

    Among all the subjects, programming was the one that truly made me feel alive.

    There was a friendly competition between the Information Systems and Computer Engineering departments.

    I still remember the quiet tension, the long hours in front of the screen,

    and that little spark of pride when my code finally ran — perfectly.

    When they announced I’d won first place, I smiled, but inside, I was glowing.

    That moment changed something in me.

    It wasn’t just about writing code; it was about creating logic from chaos,

    turning a blank screen into something that moves, thinks, and responds.

    Even now, years later, that same feeling returns every time I build something new —

    that quiet joy of watching an idea come to life, line by line.

  • Distance from Time

    Distance from Time

    “The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.”

    — Michael Altshuler

    Honestly, there’s no real trick.

    I just remind myself —

    don’t scroll through short videos.

    That “just one more” feeling

    is the quickest way for time to disappear.

    It’s not about setting limits,

    it’s about staying aware.

    Time always flies,

    and all we can do

    is keep our hands on the wheel.

  • Do you need time?

    When I rest, it never feels enough.

    When I work, there’s always something unfinished.

    When I play, time slips away too fast.

    And then, suddenly — ten years are gone.

    We keep saying we need more time,

    always chasing what we think we lack.

    But maybe that’s the point —

    to keep remembering

    that every moment we do have

    is already time worth holding on to.

  • What will your life be like in three years?

    Three years from now, I don’t ask for much —

    just peace, stability, and enough abundance to live with ease.

    A calm morning, a warm heart, and steady hands for the work I love.

    That’s all I wish for — everything peaceful, everything full.

  • For the Truth

    Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.

    Once a year.

    Turn off every sound.

    No meetings, no phones, no noise.

    Just sit quietly,

    and listen to your own heart.

    Think about the path you’ve walked this year—

    Where did your money go?

    And where did your government’s money go?

    What was truly necessary,

    and what was only desire?

    Then look beyond yourself.

    How is the planet we live on?

    Are we building a future worth inheriting,

    or quietly consuming it away?

    No anger, no excuses—

    just reflection.

    In stillness, there is prayer.

    In reflection, there is awareness.

    And through awareness,

    we move closer to the truth.

  • Favorite Websites

    What are your favorite websites?

    If ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google count, then of course these three come first, haha.

    But strictly speaking, they’re more like web services.

    When it comes to actual websites, it’s really hard to pick a fixed one these days — information sources are too diverse, and everything changes so fast.

    I used to have a few bookmarks I’d check daily, but now… it’s all about search, recommendation feeds, and the occasional rabbit hole that starts with a single click.

    Maybe that’s the charm of the modern web — it’s not about where we visit anymore, but how we connect.

  • When Everything Felt Possible

    Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live?

    Back in my student days, I spent my time juggling science fairs, schoolwork, and personal hobbies. It was exhausting, yet fulfilling — every project felt like a small adventure, every late night a step toward something unknown. Looking back, that balance between curiosity and discipline was the purest form of growth.

  • We’ve Been Here Before

    What historical event fascinates you the most?

    Growing up in Taiwan, I learned about papermaking, the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, World War II, and the Cold War through textbooks.

    But what truly fascinates me are the financial crises that have shaped the modern world.

    From the Great Depression of 1929, the Oil Crisis of 1973, the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997, and the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, to the recent pandemic shock and inflation wave — each has redefined how societies operate and how people place their trust.

    History always repeats itself, and every time, we believe this time is different.

  • Be kind, do your best

    What’s something you believe everyone should know.

    Don’t chase perfection—just stay true to your heart.

    Kindness may not change the world,

    but it changes how we see it.

    Doing your best isn’t about perfection;

    it’s about living with honesty and sincerity.
