I like old stuff, better than the new stuff. Got this worn out baby for EUR 20, throw in an additional EUR 30 to change the tyres.

A person is made by the environment you lived in and the people you influenced by. In many ways bringing up a daughter is like molding her into the pretty girl that I admired during the bachelor years.

Happy birthday princess, you are four year old today.

We are happier when we focus less on buying stuffs we don't need and more on the things that really matters.

I'm not a big fan of investors, I think they are just a bunch of greedy liars, they had mastered the art of making money from fancy words. The truth is there is no shortcut to any place worth going. I paid off the principle home mortgage first then travel the world. Once I return in 3-5 years I will decides whether I want to grow the property portfolio or living a semi-retired lifestyle at 40s.

Courage. Success in life is about managing risks, don't remove every obstacle from their path.

We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone.

'Luck' will turn into opportunity and will be within reach. The choice is ours to seize the day. Should I invest into Leica gears or more travel? My medium term goal say its the latter. I will take my Fujifilm X100S with me through this journey.

Travel open new perspectives. Connect and share stories with people you meet.

We don't buy things with money. We buy them with hours from our lives.

Success = market share. So what makes a startup idea successful? You tackle real world problems; creating future products and services that replace today, release it to the general population for free. Before email, there was snailmail.

And finally concentrate all users through a single channel.

I don't denied children growing up from computers, I believe it is the essential productivity tool moving forward. Smart phone is for notification, tablet is for entertainment and laptop are for creating products. Teach children to create rather than consume. Lived by the four principles of learn for yourself, teach to others, create product together and share product to everyone.

Death of celebrities often go viral on the Internet. The fact is everybody dies in the end. Birth, illness and death are certain in life.

I got plenty of grand ideas, like most people of my generation, I'm not patient enough to take it from concept into execution. Most of the roadblocks seemed to be tumbled on product which someone already had developed.

It's like looking into a mirror.

Life's adventure is about doing things you have passion for, rather than watching what others are doing or just doing it because it is popular.

French music and black cafe makes Paris memorable.

Goodbye 2015, hello 2016. 2015 was full of joy and memories. I have big plans in 2016 for travel, directorship and parenting. Time has a wonderful way to show us what really matters.
