先悦人再悦己

August 24, 2025, 1:22 AM

In the middle of the night, a question suddenly popped up. Writing and publishing daily on this public account is tough, especially at the start when you have to overcome laziness, keep producing every day, and ensure quality. More importantly, the initial persistence gets no attention, not even a single viewer! You need to push through this low period to see any results. But I don’t have this hurdle. Why do I say that? Because others start pleasing themselves only after getting feedback from pleasing others. I’m different—I focus on pleasing myself first, and whether it pleases others, I’ll deal with that later.


Importance of Sweet Words

甜言蜜语的重要性

August 24, 2025, 1:38 AM

I was watching a video online and saw a donkey flirting with a dragon, using sweet talk to charm the fire-breathing dragon that was about to eat him, giving full-on emotional value with lavish praise. Then, he won over the dragon and even produced a fire-breathing donkey offspring—I was shocked! As a born-and-bred Northwest man, I’m always clumsy with words, just terrible at it. I need to reflect on this and rein in all my emotions. From now on, I’ll make sure to give full emotional value to the three beauties at home, aiming to max it out! Not only do I need to learn, but I also need to practice—practice every day and do it well.


You Are the Feng Shui of Your Home

自己就是家里的风水

August 24, 2025, 11:00 AM

Yesterday, I was talking about giving full emotional value to my family, but today, facing these naughty kids, I’m really struggling to keep it together! Thinking about it carefully, they’re actually great testing grounds. If I can handle them, provide enough emotional value, and still not lose it myself, then there probably isn’t a client I can’t win over.


Far Ahead

遥遥领先

August 24, 2025, 12:13 PM

Today, I came across a domestic Bluetooth earphone I hadn’t used in a while and got curious to try connecting it to see if it still works. The result blew my mind. To connect a single earphone, I had to log into an app. Fine, I used my email, but after logging in, it demanded my phone number. Without the phone number, I couldn’t proceed, and without proceeding, I couldn’t use it. Am I from the Stone Age or what? Is domestic tech so far ahead now? Logging in and registering is one thing, but then it asked for a ton of permissions—contacts, location, floating window permissions, stuff I’ve never seen an app demand! After half an hour of intense effort, I still couldn’t connect. If I’d bought this with yen, I’d have made it spin and jump by now. I really want to support domestic brands, but my ability is limited. How do people usually show their patriotism? As an offshore patriot, I need to improve and aim to be far ahead.


Hong Kong Strange Address

香港蜜汁定位

August 24, 2025, 2:20 PM

Today, I took the kids to class and ran into a bizarre issue. The address couldn’t be found on Google Maps, and to make it weirder, it was a UB02. I searched for ages, asked people, but no one could explain it clearly. Let me put it this way: no matter how good your sense of direction is, you’ll be lost in Hong Kong. The so-called “first floor” here is actually the second floor; what they call the first floor is the G floor. Next time you come to Hong Kong and someone tells you it’s on the first floor, they mean the second floor. For smaller places, always Google the address in advance, or you’ll be completely lost.
