I am not religious but they say when God closes on I am not religious but they say when God closes one door, he opens another. 

Of course we human beings are hard wired to seek meaning and patterns even when there’s none. But hey I’d rather believe a biblicalised version of my life. 

As my contract with the venture capital Liminal was about to end, I got a message from the owner of a tutoring centre in Coventry. Just as the reader of my blog and my friend Sonny Vu reached out to offer me a job, I was once again invited to take on another job by Rio from Smart Kidz Tutoring. 

We had a brief conversation on WhatsApp and subsequently for a short interview the next day. 

Originally I was going to do two hours of trial lessons before I would get paid. And on Saturday I was tasked to teach vectors to a group of GCSEs kids. After the first hour, Rio asked to speak with the kids individually, each for around 30 seconds. 

I am an extremely observant person, and I could eavesdrop on them. Rio was asking the students about my performance and whether they find my teaching helpful and comfortable. Well it shouldn’t come as a surprise that my feedback was overwhelmingly positive and brilliant. After all, that’s what I do on @medium as KoMG to over 60k readers. 

Because of that I actually got paid for my second hour. It is only £25 for now but I know I deserve better. I know for a fact that I teach better than the majority of so-called ‘qualified teachers’ or ‘examiners’.

You know why? Because I was taught in a boarding school in Somerset and I could see first hand the actual teaching prowess of teachers in private schools. Suffice it to say, it’d be much worse in low-performing state schools in this country, not least because even a law graduate is allowed to teach maths. 

Rio told me they actually fired a maths teacher from King Henry - a private school located in the heart of Coventry, for me. 

So there you go. I will soon be on my way making £100/hour teaching maths. 

It’s second nature for me to explain these mathematical concepts at the high school level. I didn’t really have to do much preparation because I am just that gifted, I guess. 

And it was the first time I was called ‘sir’ by some kids.

In my original post on @medium, there is a section In my original post on @medium, there is a section on @openai’s report verbatim. I didn’t include that here for obvious reasons. 

But then again, there are probably only single digit number of people who will have read this post from start to finish. 

If you are one of them, thank you. And there’s a good chance that you are pretty intelligent ;)

1. Family is one of the greatest gifts from above. 1. Family is one of the greatest gifts from above. Don’t take it for granted.

2. They are the people who will never leave you. They will support you all the way.

3. Whenever life hits you, you know they have your back. Keeping them close will definitely help you grow.

4. Sometimes we have different goals, different ideologies. These may lead to disagreement.

5. In order to keep a healthy relationship we should at least compromise so we can fix the problem.

6. It may not be fixed easily but at least we took a chance on fixing it.

7. There should be a give and take on both sides.

Sometimes loving you makes me hurt myself more. W Sometimes loving you makes me hurt myself more.

We all want happy ending in our lives, but how
can we create a happy ending?
Maybe its time to ask ourselves what we really
want in this life.
What makes you happy?
What makes your heart flutter?

Start doing the things that make you happy.
Something that will caught your interest.

This might fill the emptiness you’re feeling right now.

Try to go out with your friends, watch your favorite movie.

Soul searching is a way of freeing your mind,
your heart, your body and your soul from all
the things that aren’t working for you right now.

Enough time will help you decide what you should do.

Talk to your friend, seek a company that will make you feel home.

Friends will help you ease the pain but at the end of the day you have all the control of your life.

Hello There! How are you feeling today? How’s you Hello There!

How are you feeling today?
How’s your travel to work?
Does the heavy traffic make you angry?
Did you eat your breakfast?

Let’s start the day right, even if sometimes it doesn’t go as we expected.

Let’s try to do something that we’ve never done before. Sounds fun right? ^_^

Or we can go somewhere nice and quiet.
Not a cemetery! haha
Yes, it’s not what you think it is.
Where there’s no wifi to access social media.
Away from stress and heavy traffic in the city.
Somewhere like a paradise where you can just sit under the trees, hearing the chirping of birds, the relaxing sound of the ocean that keeps you calm.
Watching the sky to see the sunset.
Gazing at night looking for the stars in the sky.

Would you come with me?
Together let’s enjoy nature.
Appreciate the things that cannot be bought and cannot be owned.

Lateral thinking is sideways thinking, slick think Lateral thinking is sideways thinking, slick thinking, smart thinking, often leading to short solutions to difficult problems in mathematics and elsewhere. 

What if one applies lateral thinking to modern day living?
THE DAY THE TOWER FELL In early August 2023, a si THE DAY THE TOWER FELL

In early August 2023, a single event would change the course of history. Although it fell against the bloody backdrop of the Fourth Corporate War, the global media still fed on the story for weeks. And could you blame them? A group of terrorists detonated a nuclear bomb, blowing Arasaka Tower to pieces. The terrorists' warning came too late – not all of the Tower's employees could be evacuated. The blast itself killed and wounded thousands, while countless others died from radiation sickness. How did the biggest terrorist attack in the 21st century happen? Who was behind this catastrophe? To find the answers, we'll need to first understand the context of that era.

The early 2020's was a period of unrest for Night City and anti-corporate sentiment was at an all-time high. In the epicenter of the city's lawlessness stood the Atlantis club. It was seen as an island of resistance against the powers that be, primarily megacorporations like Militech or Biotechnica – though a special place in hell was reserved for Arasaka, the Japanese arms-manufacturing zaibatsu that held the most influence over Night City. The kinds of people who frequented the Atlantis felt that corporations had hijacked the future and turned people into consumer-slaves and ironically, deprived of the two things capitalism loved most – freedom and choice. These people called themselves Edgerunners. They positioned themselves against the corporate world order – they declared their own freedom and opposition to the status quo. But deprived of any peaceful way to meaningfully change what they called "the System," they reached for more radical methods of self-expression. And these people were no strangers to violence.

I'd rather live like an Edgerunner than work a 9-5 job. In a way, I already am living like one.
