03/2021 (Temporarily Suspend)

a new year has come, and I am gonna take a new journey.（心无旁骛，向七而行）

02/2021 (always with ...)

During the day-off of new year holidays, I spent most of my time on reading a novel named < 凡人修仙传·仙界篇 > which gave me a lot of thoughts written in my diary then.

Life is short, be always with your family, friends, fellows.

01/2021 (return to routine)

In short, back to work. (仕事に戻る)

Support others and accomplish myself, win-win.

12/2020 (recharge before take charge of sth.)

After almost 2 months spent on the housing & decoration problem, it is the very time that I should do something beyond the peaceful life. Maybe I should consider being back to work.

While before that, it's necessary for me to recharge myself to take new challenges.

Charging myself with all the stuff about my job, which is mainly on:

• Software Engineering, ie: CMMI, MSF, Agile Development
• General Project Management, IT Project Management included, of course

11/2020 (down to earth, housing & neighbor)

I don't mean "Realistic". I mean get used to the flow of the local crowd.

Due to my coming back, my family reassigned a house and car to my own life.

And during this period, I have had some contacts with people of different classes. What I learn most deeply is that the citizens of this section are not saying the same language. I need to adjust the words according to their background.

For example, when I talked to a native-born and retired elder from the court about the second(二中) and sixth high(六中) schools, while I had to take the other words and talk about private schools instead of public schools anymore when I talked to a rich, old boss retired from the local city taxi company.

It can never be more astonishing compared with life living among young strugglers.

Elder from my family teach me that if u don't want make hard money, u need learn more about man and take huge risks.

Get used to it gradually quickly.

10/2020 (return 2 base, kick off)

2020 is a special year to me, like the startup year of BMW, Coca-Cola, IBM...

It takes me almost a month to reset or set up my home utilities, like docs, macs, cars, bills, (social)networks, relatives...

After all these work done, I find it Wuhan may not be as bad as I thought.

• 'cus in china, there is little discrimination of district by the form of account (地域-户口保护政策), I mean u could see many resources or welfares leaning to the locals(the lcoal citizen), which I met many times when I was in Shanghai(上漂)
• No judgement or Criticism or Comment on this, I just express what I have experienced

And since I am not very short of money and lack of time (I don't have rent to pay, family to feed), I need think where am I gonna start from, carefully:

• Freelancer of outsourcing
• Or Employee of local company
• Or Parents' business

Q1: which business

According to the report of gov.'s investment:

Except for the mining industry, IT & Software is still a good choice.

Q2: freelancer or employee

Since the standard of the average income is quite low than I surveyed before, I need rethink it.

One small Item&Project for a freelancer is 50$ ~ 300$ Consuming not more than 5 days at this very beginning, which is higher than the salary of Wuhan where I can get now.

But one of the another stuff that I need take into consideration is Social Insurance.

• There are typically two kinds of insurances for ordinary/normal citizen...
• If u are not at high income level, then freelancer would not be a good choice

I set myself a standard of choices:

• Beyond 50$ per hour (or 40,000 per month), freelancer or boss
• Other situation: be an employee, stay hungry, stay foolish

Q3: developer or manager?

It depends ? No.

Step confirmly towards manager position under no compromise like salary, interst and any other stuff.

• Dynamic adjust, but the path/destination is oriented to manager, not cio, ceo and other job

Many thks to 《Horse Sense ...》Al Ries, Jack Trout.

09/2020 (prepare for less)

Finally, I made my decision to go hometown(wuhan, just keep quiet and rest for a while) and live in my own house, to prepare my life and career for the extra time of life.

I send a lot of stuff home so that i can be more swift.

Imagine that there is a good team/group which invites you to enjoy them, what kindle of identity u gonna present urself ?

...

That's what I need prepare this month.

What does Less stand for ?

See my Blog: Running.

2020/08 (decision need)

stay or leave, that's a question

The first few days of this month I do not hesitate anymore, stay or leave, must be done at this month. After I think from top to bottom, from now to future and compare risk and return, I made myself a decision:

• Try my best to stay, but if it fails then leave quickly to adjust to new style life of my hometown.

Do u still remember the f**king reason why u are here? I do.(update at 2020/08/06)

07/2020 (parents require)

I start raising an orange cat which always eats too much as he is only 6 months old.

I start using english for my outputs(posts) including coding comments/annotations. And I was required to be a young boss of small tranditional business in a second level city(wuhan) with a trivial, idle living style:

• driving bmw x30i for a certain family conference which I dislike
• earn a work-life balanced life when i have more energy to consume
• associate with a woman who is not too talented in my mind

But the price is high, I am struggling to break through, carefully.

06/2020 (shutdown my server)

Attention: Text of this part is out of date.

和已经单干的前辈(家里关系)以及在国内知名大型互联网公司迷茫的后辈，在武汉结婚生子的同龄人交流，发现普遍还是迷茫:

• 在单位，开发的话语权不重，上升通道只是个形式 --- 凤毛菱角的头部班子没有代表性
• 单干的风险太大，收入也未知 (饱的饱死，饿的饿死)

(单干的朋友则更多的是大起大落，往外面撒一笔钱，再捞一笔，期间风雨坎坷)

(家里长辈的话)30年前我也没有想过今天的收入，只知道虚心多学，多向别人请教。

前怕狼后怕虎的，徒增焦虑。
