Funders and Founders

My apology for did not making any updates for weeks.

I came across a very interesting web site this morning, Funders and Founders.

This web site demonstrates on start-up and geek related articles, including start-up attentions, successful people history, and lots of how to's. Or if you are interested to know how Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates' history from born till today.

They are all explained in one single image, and then follow by article. It's creative and I like it.

The Power of Sharing

What a tough start for 2016!

Recently I dig into YouTube and noticed China has a program called, Lecture (开讲啦). Unfortunately, it is only in mandarin. 

This program specially inviting the successful person, such as celebrity, entrepreneur, superstar, etc to a podium and share their story from the beginning till success, advice to the young people who are sitting in the audience seats. 

It is quite interesting to watch the celebrities and businessmen to share their story, both success and failure, giving good advice and motivate the young people to make decision and go for their dreams, which we normally don't see it on screen and news. More importantly, I managed to watch and learn some real life experience sharing from these wonderful people.

You can pick your favorite person and watch it here.

Do You Wake up on Time?

Just wondering how many of you are able to wake up on time every morning?

Some people wake up automatically. Some people are very discipline. Some people are force to do so. Some people are lazy. Some people off the alarm, and sleep back. Some people are having good imagination that they are waking up in their dream. Some just don't care about the alarm and continue sleeping. So which type of person are you?

For those belong to category 1 and 2, congratulations. You are my idol in this area. No doubt, I'm the type where I sleep back after turn off the alarm. It's simple, I would like to continue to sleep and I guess I don't have enough sleep. I also don't want to think about what is going to happen next in the new day.

I usually sleep around 11.30pm to 12am. And set the alarm to ring around 7.15am. That's about 7 to 7.5 hours sleep. But that only last me till 6pm then I'll drop on my table to take a short nap.

After I read a book named The Sell by Fedrik Eklund early this month. I realized the reason and I can actually overcome it. I have been consistently wake up on time over the past 3 weeks. What is his advice?

Nothing new. Get enough sleep. Human needs 7 to 8 hours sleep a day. Apart from that, we need a goal to wake up on time. For him, getting more deals and paychecks are the main motivation to get him up on time at 5.30am, and sleep at 10am. By following his advice, I started to sleep around 11 to 11.15am. I also think about what motivates me to go work, and how I can increase my income. Then here I go.

I'm not sure how long can it lasts, but at least it temporary resolves my overslept issue. Have a great new Monday ahead!
