Since the side job is just for fun, we don’t really need to excel at it, or to be more specific, to be good enough to live by it. The side hustle selection then comes down to two factors only: it has to be something that we have strong interests in; and it is a subject that we are slightly more skil...

It doesn’t feel right for me to judge the value of lives based on their genders, ages, contributions to the society, or simply the number of life involved. In the trolley problem, I’d probably leave the switch as it is because there is no perfect solution available that can prevent casualties. Since...

What do I usually do at leisure? Well, it is a bit tricky to please myself even when I am supposed to be just laid-back and have fun.

The idea of decentralization behind block-chains is expanding its application step by step, from cryptocurrency, de-Fi to de-App for instance.

I urged my better half to join Yoyo, but she said that what I do is high in value but low in productivity, which made me speechless. :cccry: Dear Rock, When your significant other said that, did she mean your attempt to persuade her into joining Yoyo or your regular participation in Yoyo meetings? ...

My introvert personality makes me less likely to announce personal goals, especially when it comes to major life goals. Even if I mention it to friends, I usually don’t reveal important details. For instance, when talking about career goals, I would simply say that I intend to climb the corporate la...

One interesting fact about management theory is that it’s always full of art of words. Depending on how we interpret them, theories that look very different on the surface could turn out to advocate the same idea. The hedgehog concept asks us to focus on one big vision only and pull out all the stop...
