#158 New bed sheet print series officially launched, business collaborations, about reading (15/06/2025)

Many customers have asked if we could add floral sheets to the solid colors and cartoon collaborations, giving them more options. Of course, no problem! That's exactly what I wanted to achieve – I wanted to make it convenient for different people to enjoy new sheets, and also to be able to use the sheets they want, or the collaboration series they like – allowing them to showcase their personal style and be modern while solving the problem of changing sheets. Because it's sometimes difficult to budget for these things, I've learned a lesson over the past few years: don't rush to give a date before it's really confirmed and finished, so I haven't mentioned it until this weekend. And this weekend, it can finally officially debut!

It's currently available in stores and online, so feel free to buy it. But this isn't a place for product descriptions or advertisements; it's a "weekly journal," a space I used to eagerly anticipate writing every week when I was in elementary school. It was a place to write down what happened that week or what I wanted to tell my teacher. So many years have passed, and I'm still the same person. I still want to write something every week because I think it will be very meaningful to look back on it years from now.

Business cooperation

I've been discussing some collaborations recently, which might happen in the future, but I can't write about them here because of confidentiality. These collaborations are quite significant and should be very helpful to both of us. However, it's not the right time to announce them now, but rest assured I will announce them at the appropriate time. I'm just an ordinary person; there are many things I don't know and try for the first time. I want to record and share the process as much as possible, hoping it can help other aspiring entrepreneurs in the future. The world shouldn't be like this. I believe there should be people who try to make truly good products, try to change this industry, and truly benefit users. Although I don't know if I will succeed, I want to try.

However, I've recently had a feeling that the world is ultimately fair; good can't always triumph over evil. If you do something meaningful with the best intentions, your efforts will always be seen, and opportunities will come your way. Conversely, if you have less than good intentions, your actions will reflect your true nature, and people will sense it. Some people might think I'm naive or that this is just something to fool a kid, or even that I believe such things. But I believe it's true. I've gradually come to feel this as I've started working and encountered more people and events.

About reading

Until three or four years ago, although I read quite a lot, I never really saw a connection between reading and work. That is, often after reading a book, I'd find the content very reasonable, but I couldn't seem to apply it in any way. Or rather, daily tasks were often quite practical and didn't require the theories/teachings from books. However, I believe reading is definitely useful for cultivating a personal mindset (because it subtly influences one's thinking, becoming a default setting), so I kept at it. In the last year or two, recently, the knowledge from books has started to be useful, and I've begun to apply it to my daily work. However, I also want to emphasize that the most important thing about reading is application. Sometimes I see people who really enjoy reading, finishing one book after another. But if there's no place or enough space to apply what they've learned, reading will only increase their knowledge without truly helping them change the trajectory of their lives. I used to think the more books I read, the better, but now I'm slowly realizing that execution is also very important. If you only read and learn, but have nowhere to apply it, it might not be the most efficient way to use your time.

I recently finished reading a book called *Same as Ever*, which is also the book pictured. A friend recommended it, and it's a pretty good book.
