Happiness & Love Above All

  • Separate things can integrate

    Separate things can integrate

    Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Alone, they are 7 different individual colors. But separate things can integrate. Together, they become a rainbow. Continue reading

  • Don’t be aspiring

    Don’t be aspiring

    I used to label myself as an “aspiring magician, writer, and investor” But now it’s just “Jeff Wang, Magician, Writer, Investor” If I write “aspiring”, it means that I am not doing it. It means I haven’t been able to become what I want to do yet. “Aspiring Writer” gives me excuses to not put myself up… Continue reading

  • Being a game changer by coming 2nd

    Being a game changer by coming 2nd

    Just because you aren’t first, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. You can always review and improve on what currently exists. Facebook came after MySpace Warren Buffet (Student) came after Benjamin Graham (Mentor) Google came after Yahoo Netflix came after Blockbuster The thing is, people are afraid to enter an industry that is already established… But… Continue reading

  • Be self-taught

    Certificates are great, but we are now in the age of education and learning over certification. This means all of us can now be self-taught, and most of the time, we become much better than a piece of certification.     Continue reading

  • Shooting 3 pointers

    Shooting 3 pointers

    Shooting a 3 pointer gives you more points. Wouldn’t it be great if your team got 3 points every possession, and the opposing team only went for layups worth 2? But why, on a fast break, (when you are completely open and by yourself on the other side of the court) does every player except… Continue reading

  • Don’t do magic for hecklers

    Don’t do magic for hecklers

    There is a cardinal sin for magicians: Performing for “non-believers” and “hecklers” Yes, of course, there is a “trick” to the magic I perform, but that’s not the point. The point is to enjoy the illusion and be entertained. The people who don’t understand the purpose of magic don’t deserve to see the performance in… Continue reading

  • Unharnessed Creativity

    We are all creative people, but not all of us are creators. When you bottle up all that imagination and thoughts without having an outlet, you end up allowing yourself to be consumed by unharnessed creativity. Studies have shown that people who don’t consistently practice their creativity lead to more stress, lower concentration, and increased… Continue reading

  • Starting tomorrow

    People who do written commitments over simply verbal commitments are much more likely to pursue the product. Especially if you hold yourself accountable not only to yourself but to an audience. So here is my commitment: Starting tomorrow I will be working on my new podcast. It will be very much like my blog, where I… Continue reading

  • Subsidiaries

    Subsidiaries

    If you invest in Google (or now Alphabet), you probably primarily think of Google’s search engine. Or at least, that’s what you would have thought 10 years ago. Now, Google has so many subsidiaries, you could take away their search engine and still have a very strong business model. They also now control many advertising… Continue reading

  • Robots Become Human

    Robots Become Human

    There’s a new video game out called “Detroit Become Human” Set 20 years into the future, the video game takes place in Detroit where the unemployment rate has skyrocketed past 60%, and the community is increasingly frustrated with the way the world is progressing: A world dominated by artificially intelligent robots. Androids clean the streets,… Continue reading
