      <description><![CDATA[Today my son got his final exam results for this semester.    English: 97    Math: 87    Chinese: 69    To many parents, these might just look like average grades.  To me, they mean everything.  Honestly, I'm so happy that I almost cried.  My son is 10 years old. He has been diagnosed with ADHD and ...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[For many people, the afternoon is the most challenging time of the day. After a busy morning, our energy levels naturally start to drop, and we often look for ways to recharge. Some people choose a quick nap, while others reach for a cup of coffee. But which one is better for our body and mind?  Pe ...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Today I want to share something that happened at work.  We recently started a new project — a smart trash can from a Japanese customer. It’s a really interesting and exciting product. The trash can has a sensor, so when you put your hand above it, the lid opens automatically. After you throw the  ...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Last night I went out with my boss, a customer, and one of our forwarders. After work, we went downstairs for barbecue. At first it seemed like a normal, casual night, but it quickly turned into something that was just off.  There were five people of the forward company: one guy and four women. We  ...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I’ve been working on this pretty interesting project lately — it’s a  smart rolling bed system . Basically, it’s a multifunctional design that can transform between a bed and a table.    When you need it, you just extend it out and it becomes a bed you can sleep on. When you don’t, you fold it ...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Some days, work just gets under your skin.  I've been holding this in for a while, and I need to get it off my chest.  We're working on a smart barbecue project for a customer. At first, everyone was excited.

      <description><![CDATA[My son is 10 years old, and I strongly suspect that some of his behavior is related to his ADHD, although I'm not sure if that's the whole story.  One thing that worries me a lot is that he seems extremely selfish for his age. He has a very hard time sharing—whether it's toys, food, or snacks. It' ...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I honestly feel exhausted and overwhelmed.  My son is 10 years old and has ADHD. This semester alone, it feels like there's been a new problem every single week.  He's been talked into stealing snacks from a local store. He was encouraged by other kids to bully a younger student. At one point, he e ...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This morning, my engineer, my boss, and I held a meeting to discuss the design of a hand dryer. It should have been a fairly normal technical discussion. The designer proposed a square-shaped component. My boss felt it looked ugly and wanted a curved design instead. My engineer, on the other hand,  ...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Recently, we ran into a serious issue on one of our ongoing projects, and I think it’s worth sharing as a reminder of how critical attention to detail is in our work.    From day one, there was a mistake in the BOM sent to the PCBA supplier—the RGB LED specified was incorrect. Based on that BOM,  ...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Today my son started winter break, and we also got his math results back. He scored a D — 40 out of 100. I’ll be honest, I’m really disappointed, though not completely surprised.    Math has always been hard for him. He struggles to understand concepts, doesn’t really think things through on hi ...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I’ve been investing in real estate for the past several years, trying to flip houses and make money.

      <description><![CDATA[I finally realized why my mom said those really harsh and hurtful things to me, and honestly, it just made everything heavier.       The first reason is simple in her mind: she thinks upgrading the house is a waste of money because the current one is “good enough.” Maybe for her it is. But for me ...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This morning was honestly pretty dangerous.    Yesterday I had two coffees and my brain felt super sharp and alert. But last night I barely slept. My sleep was very light, not deep at all. I knew I wasn’t fully rested, but I didn’t realize how bad it would be.    This morning my brain felt slow,  ...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[As an update to my last post: my wife and I are moving forward with buying the 4-bedroom house.      Our plan is to sell our current place and take out a loan of about 1.54 million RMB. Financially, we’ll be okay even without any outside help. This isn’t a “we can’t afford it” situation.      ...]]></description>
