After my previous recollection, I want to spend more time emphasizing the importance of people because I was mostly focusing on myself last time. Many previous posts mentioned that my life had significant changes since the day I went to Singapore, and how it had to be that way due to many policies. Please hear it one more time and even more in the future because my past and future are always together…
I was mostly alone in Singapore for two and a half years, but was that true? Maybe, only after June 2014. Even so, was that true at all? I always thought I was a lonely being ever since my Singapore era. Sadly, it wasn’t. Maybe, it was, but it was on me.
The first day, I landed in Sydney, and I was helped by a random person. I never met that person again and couldn’t remember his outlook anymore. However, that kindness never faded away. My roommate at the time also helped me a lot, and this was only the first day.
I was also blinded by the darkness, but the world is never full of darkness. Unfortunately, the light never reached me. If I try to remember more, I was always taken care of by my guardian family back in Singapore, and there were many great friends there.
When I started developing my WoWs Info app, I had never imagined that one day I could meet my users in real life. My app was quite successful because of me? No, it was part of the reason. My users loved it, and people used it. That’s why it reached many. It was successful because of people, not me.
In this modern AI era, I don’t want people to ignore that AI is only possible because of people, just like how I was as a developer. I was a solo warrior and didn’t need any help from others even though many had offered me. That’s why I realised that I was never alone, and I selected it. I rejected many kindnesses, but they never rejected me as narrow-minded as I am.
With people, with teams, with groups, with organisations, with communities, with regions, with nations, then humanity will leap forward.
It seems that I have written some more garbage, but sometimes, I just want to write something down. I don’t want to let this moment go. After working for a few years, I understand more and more how important and powerful a team can be, and how ignorant I was. What humanity can achieve if we work together? Darkness is everywhere, but it doesn’t mean we should give up hope. When there are lights, there are shadows. Good and bad must coexist, but finding the dynamic balance is the key.
