That's Fuxing

Starting a Business?

At this stage of my life, I am still considering whether to drive into an early-stage startup or start another business. There are several advantages in an early-stage startup; you get the thrill of a startup, but none of the attached stress (fundraising, hiring, lack of a life). If I were to start a business, Productivity Apps is something that I have been eyeing for a few years; I see a possible vacuum of innovation in this space.

What keeps me ticking?

If I were to summarise my philosophy to life and work, these ideas or quotes does best at describing it.

• If a normal life is not worth observing. Was the normal life worth experiencing?
• Your best work is an hour away, and your worst work was a month ago.
• What you are saying and planning to do are just simply words coming out of your mouth. Results can only be seen after you do it, and some results will only materialize years later.
