KingMaker Audibles: Bite Sized Philosophy

We grew up in school playing on a level playing field. Like so many things though, school rules don't apply in the real world. It takes more then being the best to get to the top. 

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 non traditional MBA/global degree 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.

Work, school, work, school. That was my college life. I got blown off by my professor as being nothing special because I wasn't. I was in a premature rat race where I put in 100% of my efforts towards meeting obligations and 0% towards going after dreams.

About ACC to TEFL: In this series, I recount my journey, logic and reasoning behind making the shift from accountancy in Reno, NV to TEFL in Bangkok, Thailand.

You're defining moments are often hidden away in mundane archives. So how can you instill change into the world without first examining yourself in the mirror?    

About Growing Up & Manning Up: 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.

When you're always right, the expectation is that you'll continue being right. And that need to be the smart guy (gal) who's always right blinds you.   

The smart ones have a fear of loss as no one wants to lose a good reputation. They become very risk adverse, always making the right decision, the smart pick, based on probability. They are unwilling to take leaps of faith because they want to keep what they've got. And by that logic, they spend their lives huddled in their own small corner of the world and don't achieve anything notable, at least not anything as notable as they could have if they were willing to take leaps of faith.

This is a new series, where I recount my journey, logic and reasoning behind making the shift from accountancy in Reno, NV to TEFL in Bangkok, Thailand.  

I loved history since early childhood, but during my freshman orientation at the University of Nevada, Reno, I decided to go practical and change my major from history to accounting. I told one of the other freshman it was nice and steady, which is why I picked it. I've learned since then that the practical choice ain't always the best choice.

Continuous hard work is the long hard grind after gaining initial proficiency, not the initial easy gains. Real hard work is a marathon, not a sprint. Real hard work is when you hit the wall and you aren't motivated to do anything. A persistent effort and a persistency is key.

Anger comes from a sense of helplessness. Someone or something has pinned you down. Just like how a child throws a tantrum when things don't go his way. So, what do you do instead?
