Meanwhile, be Chinese.

"They laughed. She said, ‘I was just thinking how transient life is, how violent, unexpected, how cruel. First John Chen and now Borge, Kathy . . .’ A little shiver went through her, ever petrified she would lose him. ‘Who’s next?’ ‘Any one of us. Meanwhile be Chinese. Remember under heaven all crows are black. Life is good. Gods make mistakes and go to sleep so we do the best we can and never trust a quai loh!’"

It's April. If you’re anything like me you’ve already experienced several ‘oh shit’ moments this year.

‘Oh shit’ my start-up isn’t where I want it to be…

‘Oh shit’ the feeling of calm and wellbeing, restored by downing tools at the end of the year, is becoming more and more distant…

‘Oh shit’ life is going back to some semblance of normality but friends and family are still getting sick from this stealthy mo fo virus that provides only questionable origins and outcomes…

Meanwhile, be Chinese.

The start-up bamboo must grow.

You can self-manage your wellbeing by scheduling bursts of downtime throughout the year, now.

A virus has no motive other than survival and if you catch it; the odds are you've just gotta Netflix & Chill.

Remember under heaven all crows are black. Life is good. Gods make mistakes and go to sleep the best we can and never trust a quai loh!

That last part is a bit unfair. I know plenty of trust worthy ‘quai loh’.
