Tech Monkey

• Read two books; started a 3rd
• Did some interesting analysis around Demand Media (I still don’t think it’s a short for now and I thin they are representing a new business model in content creation)
• Argued with my boss again on tech stocks – I am sorry but I do think he’s really wrong on how he thinks about tech and that’s probably why he’s losing so much money

Good thing is that I learned a lot from his pricey mistakes and I am not to make those in my life. Also I am reading a lot more. I feel enlightened, enriched. It sucks that I don’t learn anything at work any more, but I get it back somewhere else.

Last time I wrote anything on this log was early 2009, when I was in similar mental distress as I am now. I wrote blogs to express a depressed personality under corporate cover. I hated investment banking. 2 years later, I grew out of that phase, into a job that I used to love in full passion. Yet a year into it, I am not happy any more. I am in consistent disagreement with my boss about investment ideas and I am extremely frustrated as my fruitless struggle failed over and and over again. One day I realize I need to get out of this dire and re-invent happiness in my life – be it a new job, a new hobby or new boy. I have to learn how to let things out of my control go, and how impact how I live my life and perceive myself. I know I am good and hopefully one day I will have the opportunity to prove to the world that I am good.

I read more, cook more, work out more. It’s therapeutic.

I want to keep a blog here to vent my frustration since my friends must be so tired of my complaints by now.

It’s a new beginning.
