I was driving home 10:30 tonight after finishing up with a project in Fremont, tired and starved. All of the sudden I felt a bit of sadness. For the past year, Vivian and I have been working very hard, trying to build a nest for our growing family. We might have a so called Small Business, but there is really nothing “small” about it, sales & marketing, customer service, QA, payroll, cash flow, tax, insurances, bookkeeping, sourcing & procurement, inventories, employee management… we need to be involved in every aspect of the business, and it is exhausting!
For that brief moment on the way home, I was overwhelmed with mixed emotions, why are we doing what we are doing? We had nice corporate jobs, although they were also tiring and stressful (in a different way), but the corp life had a sense of “security”, I knew when I was going get paid, and at how much, and at the end of the day, I didn’t have to worry about all the overhead cost and payroll.
We threw all that away, in order to be on our own, and now I am driving home 10:30 at night, tired and starved…

There’s really no such thing as job security these days…. : ) With you and Vivian’s business even thou it is not any easier than holding a crop job (10 times harder if anything..) having the ability, the resources and the freedom to mark your personal signature in every piece of your work and being able to allow your creativity to run wild, it’s establishing your individualism at its best. Good work and hard work.. cheers to the crazy life! : )

you still look fine in your picture and pass 30 already that means…there’s still plenty of room to keep pushin and torturing your body in working bloody hard. BTW, you used to stay up late all the time back then, now whats up with the whining of driving back home only @ 10:30? lol
