My personal road to entrepreneurship

In the last post, I talked about the details of how I got my books published, in this one I will talk about the road that took me there. My first “business venture” was in Berlin in the year 2007. It was really difficult to get a job there without speaking perfect German, so a friend and I set to collect empty bottles from the parks and what not, it was something like 20 cents…

About my books

First Book:    Second Book:     About Ria: She’s who I wish I were.   About Gwen: She’s who I really am.   About Bruno and Bong Gu: It all really happened.     About death: There’s this recurrent, almost lingering theme that death is around us all, always. That’s how I always feel. Existence is scary. Even though I still manage to wake up every morning and pull myself together, being alive is…

This letter is just for you. Bruno from 2011. That’s when you first decided to start writing right? Well, there are some things you wish you had known back then, but you didn’t and no one told them to you, so I might as well say them now before it’s too late: You love writing in short sentences and listing items, so let’s do it that way.

No waifu no laifu

Are you still into that anarchist thing? Which one? You know, that one with a weird german name. Zeitgeist? That one. Well, many things have changed since we used to go to the zeitgeist meetings from our Australian chapter. I have I given up on the hopes of being part of a system based on the efficient use of resources and sustainable development instead of a money-based economic system. The answer would be no, I…

You can write here again?   I’m not sure actually… What do you mean? Well, blogger is still blocked in China, same as google, gmail, facebook, youtube, etc, but when I went to HK I set up the posting preferences from this blog so I can post by email now, so came back to China, opened a Chinese email account and now maybe I can post again by sending an email to a specific blogger…

The one hour training program

The one-hour maintenance program consists of 4 parts of 15 minutes each. 15 minutes cardio, run or whatever to warm up and keep your heart healthy. 15 min strength work, pull ups, push ups, squats, etc. 15 min stretching, holding every stretch for at least 20 seconds. And finally, 15 minutes meditation to calm down. Why not try it for a few days and see how it works for you?

Sitting is death

All recent scientific research shows that sitting in a chair daily for long periods of time is the single worse thing you could do to yourself. Maybe even worse than smoking. That’s why during the last 2 years I decided to spend as little time sitting as possible. My only excuse for sitting is recovery time, when too tired after strenuous exercise. First problem I faced was the internet, as most of you I spend…
