About
Kin is 25 years old who obtained his master from Stanford in Computer Science, and his bachelor is in CS and Japanese from Michigan State University. He currently resides in California Bay Area. He is not quite the typical 25-year-old Asian male engineer that you will ever come across, if not for other things, it is for writing this blog on the topic of personal development and personal finance.
Have I annoyed you enough by talking in third person? Okay, I guess I will be nice and stop.
Why Piggy’s Blog? Because I’m born on the year of Pig. Pigs are smart animals, even scientifically proven. Let alone the smartness, they live a life-style where they eat, chill, sleep, and then they repeat the pattern. What enjoyable life-style. Hence my affinity with the animal. Lastly, piggy sounds cute.
I am done with school for now. However, it doesn’t mean I can stop learning. I believe in being a life-long student where I keep an open mind, maintain awareness, and do my best to learn and practice. Conventional schools prepare us only in the field of knowledge, and not so much wisdom. Stuff like how to deal with human relationship? personal finance? the mystery of life? Not quite. We must find out on our own, and knowing why is what distinguish people from people.
I am no expert/guru/master/life-coach… My goal here is to learn and share with all of you out there. Also because my goal is to promote real learning and real change, I will not write in a populist tone just to gain more readership.
I place sharing and teaching and helping others a very high priority. It’s my way to contribute to this world. I will share thoughts, personal experience, and some on-going activities in my life with the hope that my writings may provide insight and new directions for others and also for myself.
Here is a small tale on what makes me the me today.
What I believe to be our most important thing in life - happiness.
Here is how I think about money and how money can “buy” us happiness.
In 2 posts, I talk about Journey to Success and Greatness.
I am also into health and fitness because without health, we will not have the body to let us enjoy life and all the money we so eagerly earn and save.
If you are interested in Zen, I wrote a post on Awareness and Zen. Zen, which is just a way to experience life, has changed a lot on the way I see and act in life. It is very important for us to learn to live in the moment.
On the topic of love, I wrote one of the more popular posts on this blog, Love - The Ability.
My biggest hobbies/passions are learning/playing the piano, with lessons for around 2+ years now and singing. I may not be very good now, but I am continuing to improve everyday. I hope you like them.
In doing many of the things above, I learn many things that eventually contribute to the way I am, the way I think, and the way I want to live. But enough BS, to learn more about me, I encourage you to read through of my blog. And with the picture, I leave you no room for fantasy in your mind…
