I think one of the things that kills great things so often is compromise — letting people talk you out of what your gut is telling you. Not that I don’t value people’s input, but you have to have the strength to ignore it sometimes, too. If you feel really strongly, there might be something to that, and if you see something that other people don’t see, it could be because it’s that powerful and different. If everyone agrees, it’s probably because you’re not doing anything original.

Categorifying Fundamental Physics

Posted on by

A fundamental fact about quantum theory is that these operators fail to commute: aa* – a*a = 1 in units where Planck’s constant is 1. Remarkably, this fact has a simple combinatorial interpretation: there is one more way to add an element to a finite set and then remove one, than to remove one and then add one.

Trigger an idea

Posted on by

.

That’s what triggered the idea. Sometimes ideas are born out of necessity: you solve a problem for yourself, and you hopefully solve it for a number of other people too.

Perseverance

Posted on by

.

Perseverance is important because, in a startup, nothing goes according to plan. Founders live day to day with a sense of uncertainty, isolation, and sometimes lack of progress. Plus, startups, by their nature, are doing new things — and when you do new things, people often reject you.

聖誕誡命

Posted on by

Sentence 1 is achieved by sentence 2.

— based on Mr Lee@philosophical analysis lecture@2002

.

.

The greatest commandment, Jesus:

1. One should love Yahweh with one’s entire heart, soul, mind, and strength.

你要全心全靈全意全力愛上主, 你的天主.

2. One should love one’s neighbour as one would love oneself.

愛你的近人, 猶如愛你自己.

— the Gospels of Mark[12:28–34] and of Matthew[22:34-40]

.

.

Not many people have realized that the two are actually the same sentence.

Sentence 2 is the ONLY method to achieve sentence 1.

First, organize 1,000

I think the ability to find and organize 1,000 people is a breakthrough opportunity. One thousand people coordinating their actions is enough to change your world (and make a living.)

You don’t find customers for your products. You find products for your customers.

Illusion 2

Posted on by

Dedicated to the memory of Mr Shields …

.

.

The first time I saw him, he asked me to help to print several pages of notes. The general office computer could not print his file. So I used my computer in the Staff Room 4 to print the pages. (I do not remember clearly. Maybe it was that my computer could not print it. We went to the general office to print it.)

He said he had been Hong Kong, teaching English for over a decade. I wanted to know which of the staff rooms would be his office. But I did not know how to say it in English,

“Where do you sit?”

He replied, “What do you mean?”

— Me@2009.12.23

* Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

–- Einstein
