Life is too short not to go for your dreams

Posted on May 30, 2013 by Tuan

3 Things I am happy about:

  • Having a great family that comes visit me
  • Going to the beach with my friends
  • Knowing that there is more to life than work

I am going to keep this simple tonight…It’s important to keep going regardless of whatever happens in your life. You must have grit. Grit to push through life challenges.

I have been M.I.A. due to school and regular work. But I have recognized my true calling now.

Everyone, we all need to think about what our life purpose is if you wake up too many days not knowing what to do with it…

Spring 2013

Posted on April 13, 2013 by Tuan

3 Things I am happy about:

  • Dodgeball Trampoline
  • Movies
  • Internet

Spring has finally arrived in Nashville. Every Spring reminds me of Spring outings,  outdoor activities, and trips.

Not a lot to write today, but found this quote:

The beauty of life is, while we can’t undo what is done, we can see it, understand it, learn from it and CHANGE! =)

Thought this post was interesting too….

Having problems keeping your 2013 Resolutions?

Posted on January 2, 2013 by Tuan

3 Things I am happy about:

  • Amazon – I get to buy gifts and send them directly and track it for presents
  • Friends to celebrate the New Years with =)
  • Heating inside my house; AC during summer time of course!

A lot of people including myself have challenges with keeping their NYE resolutions. We have the best intent, but are horrible at the execution. The easy answer is try harder, but the truth is we must convince ourselves that our goals are doable and let ourselves fail in order to get back up. I know my readers out there needs some steps….

Here is an article that I found and will use…

Best of Luck to Everyone for 2013 and their resolutions!

Heading to 2013 New Years after Xmas!

Posted on December 29, 2012 by Tuan

3 Things I am happy about:

  • Watching Xmas movies with Family
  • Warm Weather
  • Dinner with Family & Friends

Every year I go visit my family and friends for the holidays in South Florida. I have notice every year that the focus tends to be more on gifts than recognizing why we celebrate Christmas.  Of course, I had to look up the history of Christmas (Xmas for short).

Here is some info on Xmas:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas

Regardless of what you believe in, the holidays are the best time to catch up with family and friends over dinner or activities.  For example, I will be taking my sister go-kart racing. It’s always a blast to speed on a race track.

On my last note for this entry. Check out this TED video on having less stuff that will make you happier.

As always, it is the people you meet, the books you read, and resources you spend your time on that will tell you where you are heading in life.

Fiscal Cliff and Giving during the Holidays

Posted on December 6, 2012 by Tuan

3 Things I am happy about:

  • The ability to setup e-commerce in minutes not days
  • Giving Gift bags to the homeless
  • Inspiring others to help others

There is a lot of talk and anger about the “Fiscal Cliff” that could happen very soon. I would encourage you not to keep your faith in people. People have been in this predicament before and will again. The important priorities should be your family and friends and not other distractions.

Challenge for today: Watch the video and then ask yourself what have you done this is meaningful this week?

Thanksgiving Approaching

Posted on November 19, 2012 by Tuan

3 Things I am happy about:

  • TED Talks
  • Musicals
  • People with Passion

I have been blown away these past few days. I have gone to several cultural events ranging from symphonies to indie rock to musicals. Each event simulated my different sense. But the most important is to have friends around you and make time to go these events. Treat every moment as if it might be your last, but be there once you are at the event.

Thanksgiving is coming in a few days. We all have to remember that we need to spend time with family and not shop~!

Here is a petition to boycott shopping on Thanksgiving Day:

Season Greetings

Posted on November 14, 2012 by Tuan

3 Things I am happy about:

  • Parents coming to visit
  • Going to the Symphony
  • Learning new skills

Today I am challenge to learn how to evaluate a small business where I  might take a partnership in it. The business is interesting that it is unique and a niche market. I am not sure how much stake I will eventually purchase, but I realized I have a lot of 1st World problems. I know by the end of the year I will have an e-commerce store, equity stake, and have at least a few new skills…

Worry & Future

Posted on November 13, 2012 by Tuan

3 Things I am happy about:

  • Opportunity to meet Warren Buffet
  • Ability to sleep in an amazing bed
  • Thanksgiving dinner

I do not know why, but I feel next year will be a great year of change. I will be graduating and I am not completely sure what will happen in the next six months, but it’s going to be great. I found my passion. My passion is to solve problem and help people. It’s very broad and understand it does not fit the typical answer. I realize I have to focus and lay down a plan of action. At the same time, I need to have the faith that God will provide and guide me to his path for me. I am perplex as to why all these wonderful things are happen at one time. All I can say is that I truly appreciate God’s Will for my life.

I went to church this week. Pastor Pete from Crosspoint discussed about worrying. We only worry when we don’t trust God’s will for us. But how can we not worry? I am very content, but I know I can lose everything at any given instance. I am especially reminded of that when I see people in NYC and Jersey.

Focus on making Dreams into Reality

Posted on November 1, 2012 by Tuan

3 Things I am happy about:

  • Ability to design and solve problems
  • Coursea that enables me to learn
  • TED b/c it inspires me all the time
I believe I am reaching a cross roads with my life. There are plenty of opportunities out there. The hardest part about the opportunities is making choices.  I think it is through the good and bad times that we must rely on our Faith to get us pass our own doubts. I have been thinking about a deep thought that has shock my inner core. What is your purpose in life? I believe once you can answer that question all other things will fall into place. 
Watch the video and pray for the trapped 27 Million People
