  • Show Them Your Claws (Kingston's Short Stories #6 [Age 14])

    Humans at their core are ruled by their survival mechanism. If they think there's a chance they can get hurt and lower their chances of survival most will have second thoughts.


    About Kingston's Short Stories: In this series, I'll be sharing one story from every year of my life starting at age 9. I try to pull a meaningful lesson from each story that oftentimes may seem mundane.

  • Premortem: Preventing Regret (Kingmaker Audiobites #30)
    While differentiating between regret and hindsight bias requires the use of empathy in looking back retrospectively, preventing regret is forward looking using a concept called premortem.
    Life Update: I did my first podcast interview last week talking about my experience as an EFL teacher in Thailand. I found that I'm still slightly autistic in the manner that I'm not the most socially aware person. I was telling a story about my yellow food coloring laden water guns and how I used them in class. By the interviewer's body language when he started covering his mouth I knew he didn't like the story. I only recognized this in hindsight when I was watching the recording.
    What I find humorous others may not especially since many of the things I did would not be allowed in an American school. A valuable lesson to take away.
    I'm used to watching myself on camera, I cringed when watching the podcast interview though as it was not just a monologue which I normally do but a conversation with another person. Reminds me of when I recorded my lectures last November, I tolerate watching those videos now after watching it so many times. I'll do the same with this interview recording.

    About Kingston's Journey Series: Kingston's Journey is one "inspiration video/motivational video" of a lifelong series. This is the travel journal I take with me. Whether you have questions such as how to change my life or how to travel the world, I think you'll find value in the life lessons I've experienced and documented in this travel notebook. They may serve as travel inspiration for you. In Chinese, there is a saying, "讀萬卷書,不如行千里路."
    This means, instead of reading ten thousand books, why don't you walk a thousand miles. This is my inspiration to travel every nation (or as many as possible) in my pursuit of my global MBA by learning as much as possible and recording these life lessons learned only by travel. In the end, I think the achievement of dreams, personal growth & aspirations out there through travel and adventure will lead to a more fulfilling life. Living and experiencing the "now" is how I'll make my life a great memory in the future.

  • Regret vs. Hindsight Bias (Kingmaker Audiobites #29)

    Regret is easily confused with it's close cousin, hindsight bias. They both have to do with painful recounts of the past, so what is the difference between the two.

    If you are pursuing something and begin to think, "this ain't me" on the other side of your shoulder there'll be a voice whispering, "but you've already put so much time into this." That's sunk cost fallacy.

  • Why Continue When So Few Care Focus on the Macro (Kingmaker Audiobites #28)

    It's not that no one cares, its a matter of working through the process of being discovered.  I need to be like the North Vietnamese (all politics aside). Because I believe I'm building something special here, I really do. And when I "make it" that's when everyone will watch the content I've created. You just got to keep it macro, a marathon in other words.
