A silent working day for me

To read, to write, think, to talk.

What I should do differently

To prepare for a new venture, I know that I have to do something differently this time.

Don’t expect a company to be a family, work professionally.

My weakness is emotion-control. I am like a tomato, if my inside is green my outside is green and if my inside is red my outside is red as well. I can’t hide my emotion and I don’t want to hide anything from any person, especially to the one in a conversation with me. So to not have anything to hide, it’s better to not generate any emotion in a workplace. I try to see them as objects with names and only focus on their properties then use my mind to calculate the best outcomes to consider to pick one to execute. I recall one lesson that I learned from HLE is that at first put the response into a black box to calm down any negative emotion and then reply with a functioned output. To apply into my case, my black box will remove all human-related of that person(biases, personal history issues, emotions) so that my mind only needs to see the facts and things as a pure math problem to solve it. So I will say it is my “work mode” in the workplace and I hope it will work in company meetings that I am very terrible in emotion control. Of course, in team-building time, I will be back to the normal mode to enjoy myself with people.

Don’t expect family to be a company, be thankful and accept any imperfection.

In a different context, when I am at home with my family, to be honest, it’s not an easy time. My mistake is I usually use my work mode with my family and it becomes a disaster. To think back, I think that to be a good son, a good husband, a good father in any way is good enough. It doesn’t have to prove anything to anyone to get the worst outcomes anyway.

That’s it. Good night. To be continued.
