This right here is probably the stupidest thing I’ve done in the last couple of years. I’ve been now almost ten months clean from social media and I can honestly say I regret every second I spent on social media ever. I regret every second I spent taking and posting pictures of my dog instead of having been playing with her. Why did I start? Because of the ego, because I thought I could make…
"The stupidest thing I’ve done"Author: bonggu
Realistically speaking there’s absolutely nothing that could prevent me to fly out of this country tonight and start a new life somewhere else tomorrow. The only constraints are of course those we make ourselves up. Excuses to keep feeling sorry for ourselves instead of taking action.
"The best advice I have ever received"
The following is a list of some of my near-death experiences, the ones I can remember. I have no idea what is anyone supposed to do with this information after reading it.
"Near-death experiences"2 years ago I decided I didn’t want to work anymore, and the last 18 months I’ve spent about 12 hours a day working hard every day creating ways to generate 10 different sources of passive income so that 2019 is the last year I need to work.
"Confessions"
A short essay about why I ditched veganism
"Why I ditched veganism"Besides being the name of best video game franchise ever, the persona, for Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, was the social face the individual presented to the world—”a kind of mask, designed on the one hand to make a definite impression upon others, and on the other to conceal the true nature of the individual.” This will be a very a very personal post, in the one I will attempt in the form of a list, to deconstruct my…
"Persona"
Thought number 1 and also my unpopular opinion is that it’s not fair that football players earn millions while there are people starving on the street right now. It’s something sad, not something to be celebrated. Is something to be angry about. I understand the government needs to distract people somehow so that they don’t complain about the fact that the society is being poorly managed and the resources poorly administrated, I also understand that…
"My 5 dark thoughts"
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…
"My personal road to entrepreneurship"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…
