2012 has so far been the MOST transforming year of my life...and it is ONLY THE BEGINNING.

First of all, I know I'll sound like "one of those parents"...but I don't care! My son Sammy is born, and he is the MOST ADORABLE (see photo above for proof :P) I'm a STUPID PROUD DAD!!!!!!!

Second, I've always felt that as a artist, I've long felt limited by my lack of knowledge with finance and business...since I am the youngest in a very traditional, affluent Chinese family, I was never expected to know much about money - except to work hard in school and find a good job.

But those advice alone hasn't served me well.

I realize that if I want to go to where I want to go...I MUST forget the past, and START EMBRACING some new things.

So I started learning.

Over these months, I've been blessed to come across some wonderful, rich (and nice) mentors, who's helped overcome my fears and greed - and helped me become a money-making investor- EVEN during bad times.

As I'm learning all these new things...I find myself changing.
Instead of editing down my dreams, because I feel like I could NEVER afford to...
I now see that even MY GREATEST DREAMS........ARE NOT ONLY "DREAMABLE"....THEY'RE "ABSOLUTELY ACHIEVABLE"!!!!!

In fact...If YOU learned what I'm learning...I KNOW for a fact that you will DREAM WAY BIGGER THAN YOU DO NOW TOO.

My adult life has NEVER been this happy - even though times are the TOUGHEST for me now.



Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Recently, a former art-teaching colleague of mine told me, rather mockingly, that my dream to become a Anime sci-fi artist while living in the US is simply bogus, and suggested that "You're in the wrong town."

I was hurt, surprised and angry. I highly respected this friend in the past.

Then something happened.

Few weeks later, I was privileged to a private studio visit and lunch with Syd Mead, who not only was the man behind Blade Runner and Alien, but is also considered an idol in Japan's sci-fi and anime community.

And Syd, by now my idol, liked my work.

Lesson learned?

YOUR SUCCESS IS THE PERFECT REVENGE.
