Recently, I was delighted to have the opportunity to be interviewed by a writer. We chatted for almost an hour via Facebook Messenger, and the topic revolved around my own career development in my twenties and thirties. Many friends know that I come from the media and have worked as a reporter, editor and director, but few people know that my first job in life was actually an electronic engineer who was busy assembling, welding electronic components and designing circuit diagrams?

I read "Winning Mindset: A New Psychology of Success": To pursue excellence, please build in a growth mindset
The weather was not good yesterday evening, with a few drops of rain floating in the sky from time to time. Sitting in a convenience store, sipping coffee and looking at the hurried people outside the window, it feels like you are outside the action and has a different feeling. This is a scenery that can often be seen in the city, but you have a different understanding every time you look at it. In this busy and utilitarian society, everyone wants to become a super individual, but they don’t ...
[Podcast] Personal brand management practice: What is a personal brand?

In addition to writing reports and cover stories one after another, I also secretly wrote in my mind the uniqueness of these professionals. You must know that the success of these professionals is ...
"Focus on the 20% high-density work force: learn to "pick work to do" and get the maximum results in the least time" Recommended Preface: Say goodbye to perfectionism and become a high-density worker
Because I have worked in the Internet industry and media circles in the past, I have become accustomed to the fast pace of work, and I have unconsciously developed a high dependence on speed and efficiency. When I was young, I always thought that being able to successfully complete various tasks assigned by the boss was a sign of "taking responsibility". But after things changed and I learned to self-examine, I discovered that if I was too obsessed with the results of doing things well, I wou...
"Apple vs. Google Fight of the Century" Recommended Preface: They changed the world, including you and me
Once upon a time, our lives were filled with all kinds of information technology products, and there is no going back. Whether it’s the MacBook Air used to type this recommendation, the iPhone lying quietly in a corner of the table, or the Google Chrome browser that I have opened more than a dozen windows, and the Google search engine that I can’t live without for a day.
"Digital Complications: Is Google Making Us Dumb?" 》Recommendation: Are you a bowhead?
"Are you a bowhead?" One night when I returned home and was about to walk back to my room after dinner, my mother, who was sitting in a corner of the living room, stared at the TV screen and suddenly asked for no reason. I held the tea cup and turned to my mother with a knowing smile. Hey, of course I know what my mother means by "head-down people", but what's more surprising is how did she know this new term? You probably saw it from TV news or newspapers, right? To me, the phenomenon of "he...
"Global Thinking, Local Marketing" Recommended Preface: Unique Segmentation and Local Marketing
In early August 2016, the Pokémon Go craze started in Taiwan. Adults and children were busy hunting monsters in the park, and it became a new social phenomenon. Some people believe that the success of this game is due to augmented reality (AR); others say that this is because Nintendo attaches great importance to intellectual property (IP), and only long-term operations can bear fruit. But I think there is another key element, which is that they have added localized elements.

I read "Letter to Young Journalists": Engaging in "God's Profession" Demonstrates Human Value
It seems that not long ago, I was a reporter who went around interviewing entrepreneurs and celebrities with a notebook. Before the monthly deadline, I would write entrepreneurial stories and success stories one after another (of course there were also regrettable and sighing failure cases). I also tried to analyze today's technology trends for readers, or introduce the business models behind the companies.
I read "Warren Buffett's Investment Principles": Value Investing in Stock Theology
In this era of rising prices, many people want to earn more money. However, when main incomes such as salaries are mostly limited, if everyone just saves money without seeking some investment channels, I am afraid that inflation alone will eat up our future. It is said that "if you don't manage money, money will not care about you." Investment and financial management are obviously life issues that we cannot escape.
