the world is not fair

I always expect that life will get worse. I have had a fantastic life. I learnt hypothesis testing at 8, people management at 13, transcendental idealism at 14, and academic politics at 20. Then I retired and did stupid stuff like commerce and technology. I just learnt to sew, and to speak politics in the language of my birth at 43. I had delineated completely the quanta of my conscience experience by 21, and got to see AI implemented almost exactly a lifetime after that. I always wonder if I will get bored enough to need to make a ton of money, but being happy with little, I have not yet been too distracted from priorities. I still haven't learnt credit markets properly. Right now I am brushing up on physical conditioning. I have loved and been loved by far more people than I deserve. I remain curious. 

Apa itu Malaysia? Apa yang diajar?

Pengajian KBSM 1990an kurang membincangkan peranan Malaysia dalam dunia, dan lebih menitikberatkan bagaimanakah Malaysia dimangsakan dunia. Oleh sebab itu, sejak kecil, saya tidak pernah mengambarkan Malaysia sebagai institusi yang menarik di pentas dunia.

Itu pendirian saya sahaja yang terhad 😎

time done in commerce

I often reflect on the beginning of my adult career, from 2005 to 2023, where I observed commercial culture from bottom to top. I viewed my study of commerce as a focus on avoiding predictable outcomes, and targeting unpredictable systems for examination. 

When I began that project, I had already developed for several years the notion, and I still hold, that none of the following are particularly hard to understand.

- Managing people.

- Managing P&L.

- Managing technology.

But you will see that I spent many years in organisations that were not good at the sum of these things.

To be honest, I don't know if the time spent resulted in much learning. But I always had in mind that the least I would get from years observing other people, would be the track record of having done the time.
