Chapter 28 [Sorrow, joy, separation, and union]

This issue is a big topic, and it is very different from everyone's outlook on life, but we should all realize that we will only walk alone in the end of our lives, and the separation and reintegration in the middle are all learning processes. From kindergarten to elementary school to junior high school to high school to university, many of our good friends have been separated and have lost contact. We had such a good relationship at the time and could not be together because of the relationship between time and space.

[James: Origins and Today] Chapter 28 - Sadness, Joy, Separation, and Unity (04/25/2023)

This issue is a big topic, and it is very different from everyone's outlook on life, but we should all realize that we will only walk alone in the end of our lives, and the separation and reintegration in the middle are all learning processes.

From kindergarten to elementary school to junior high school to high school to university, many of our good friends have been separated and have lost contact. We had such a good relationship at the time and could not be together because of the relationship between time and space. Therefore, on the journey of life, meeting is accidental and separation is inevitable.

Although I take every relationship very seriously, I am mentally ready to separate. It is because I am too serious, so I must be prepared to separate. Otherwise, when the time comes, we may not be able to be together or get along with each other in the end (whether it is parents, brothers, sisters, lovers, spouses, friends). It’s the same with friends and classmates, and it’s the same with any relationship), it’s easy to get sad, so try to live every day well, make the best preparations, and plan for the worst. This is how I define myself as a ruthless person. It’s not that I am really ruthless, but because I am too ruthless (when my love becomes deep, it becomes thin), so I train myself to be ruthless.

A person's life is about learning sadness, joy, separation, and union. With this understanding, half of life's lessons are completed, and our life is free of burdens.

Chapter 18 [Why we only recommend investing in US index funds]

Chapter 18 [Why we only recommend investing in US index funds]

I remember when I was designing products at the Multimedia Laboratory in the United States, I knew very well that American innovation was number one in the world. When we were thinking about a product in the United States, we were definitely not thinking about how to copy other people's products, but starting from scratch based on human needs, starting from thinking about consumer needs, then entering into the design structure, and finally completing the product. Therefore, in the United States, most of the original technology was started from scratch, and the same innovative technology was transferred back to Taiwan. Taiwan's new technology products are a little bit different.

Chapter 8 [The days of growing up with my daughter]

The days when I returned to the United States to be with my daughter. When I first returned to the United States, I started helping my daughter prepare breakfast every day. I really didn’t know what my daughter would eat for breakfast, so I first prepared porridge, sandwiches, omelets, and various other breakfasts, like a buffet breakfast, to see which one she liked. My daughter didn't express any opinions at first. Later, I found that she ate very little in the morning, so I gradually changed it to sandwiches or simple cereal. Several years later, my daughter told me that I had just returned to the United States.
