Growing up, we listened to our grandparents and parents tell us stories and share their experiences. Some of the stories were funny, while others we scoffed at, but all their shared experiences gave us insight and even some knowledge. As I've gotten older, I realized I have unique experiences I can share. Those experiences range from feeling disappointed being a college dropout to feeling pride when my parents and kids saw me graduate, living abroad as an Asian-American, becoming a professor, coaching youth basketball, and watching my kids grow. I'd also like to invite guests to share their unique experiences and perspectives with us so we can all gain more knowledge and insight through observational learning. Some join me as we discuss various topics in my experience.

11 JUL 2024 · Academically, I was a late bloomer; therefore, I was able to experience being a student recently. As a parent, I noticed that we often revert back to the way we were taught because that's the only way we know. One main reason is because many of us finished our educations long before having children. But knowledge, technology, and accessibility has changed drastically over the past decade, forget the past two to three decades. Which means we need to adjust the way we teach. Requirements are no longer the same, and more importantly, future demands will definitely be different. Therefore, we should remind ourselves, don't teach the way we were taught.
1 JUL 2024 · The concept is simple enough, but you'd be surprised how many people don't have hobbies. Many people have interests and activities that can keep them preoccupied for a couple hours a few times a week, but the ability to keep yourself busy for 12+ hours a day, seven days a week is difficult. For most people, their work defines them; therefore, if you remove the work then they don't know what to do with all the extra time. While you still have the opportunity, discover more hobbies that can capture your interest, stimulate your mind, and occupy your time.
28 JUN 2024 · Growing up our parents and community taught us and instilled their culture in us. However, as we get older, interact with other people, and start thinking for ourselves, we develop our own unique culture. We may retain certain aspects of our parents' culture we like and find beneficial, but we forge our own path. This is only natural; however, often we don't want to admit it. Therefore, don't be surprised when you start seeing things differently than your parents or values change.
26 JUN 2024 · A former sales manager told me that there are no dumb questions. In theory, that makes sense because if you don't know something then you should ask. But in reality with the resources available to us there are dumb questions. The saying there are no dumb questions allows people to not think, consider, or research the question or problem. For example, if you ask someone a question in which they've already answered but you weren't paying attention, then that is a dumb question. This does not mean you should not ask questions if you have doubts or you need clarification; however, it is important to listen, think, and consider before asking questions.
22 JUN 2024 · The statement nothing lasts forever sounds very cliche because it is, but that does not mean we don't need to remind ourselves. When things are going well at home and at work, enjoy it but don't forget that this high won't last forever. At the same time, if you're having a difficult time connecting with your children or can't close a deal, it won't last forever. This will teach us to enjoy and cherish the positive moments but keep us grounded, and to not let the negative moments pull us under.
16 JUN 2024 · We're cautious of what we say because we're worried what other people think of us. Do we sound stupid? Did we get our facts wrong? We don't ask questions because we don't want people to perceive us a certain way. Many of us would rather pretend we understand than ask someone to repeat or explain. Well, people don't really care. Most people are more concerned about their own self perception, just like you, to worry about what they think about your actions or questions.
30 MAY 2024 · We need to research, analyze, and plan, but sometimes we just need to take the first step. But what if the first step is wrong? You won't know it's wrong unless you take it. Also, even if your goal is climbing Everett, you'll still need that first step. Too often, we get paralysis by analysis, especially in our overly analytical society. Therefore, sometimes we need to take that first step to recognize and realize whether or not a second or third steps are necessary.
21 MAY 2024 · We've all heard the phrase practice makes perfect or the updated version, perfect practice makes perfect. Unfortunately, perfection is unrealistic and unachievable because we are humans. Therefore, instead of practicing for perfection, we should practice for mistakes. This means, practice to identify the potential mistakes you can make and learn how to adjust or correct them.
17 MAY 2024 · "If you want to master something, teach it." - Richard Feynman
"To teach is to learn twice over." - Joseph Joubert
If you want to test whether or not you know a subject, or if you want to reinforce what you've learned, then teach it. Teaching a subject or skills will test your knowledge and understanding. Your knowledge will need to be comprehensive and refined in order to explain it to others. Even as a student, you should fine opportunities to tutor classmates or younger students because it'll help you become a stronger learner.
13 MAY 2024 · There are enough stressors in our lives that we don't need to stress ourselves out. By taking ourselves less seriously, we care less about what others say or think. We feel less pressure to always be perfect and accept that we can make mistakes. Plus, my taking ourselves less seriously, we our more open to ideas, suggestions, and criticisms.
