#208 More meetings and discussions with colleagues from the A Fong Ting Group (31/05/2026)

I can't believe I've already written over 200 weekly journals. Sometimes time flies so fast that I have to admit I'm no longer the 20-something kid I was when I started. In less than six months, I'll be 29. You might say that's not old at all, still very young. But the point is, it won't be long until I'm saying "in a few more years, I'll be 39," and then in the blink of an eye, it'll be "in a few more years, I'll be 49." Life just goes by that quickly. This week, I met with colleagues from A-Fontane and discussed some matters. I can't go into details here, but it's all good news. In fact, I often feel, and have mentioned before, that people in the same industry shouldn't be too narrow-minded and think they can't be friends because they're competitors. Of course, there are some industry peers whose methods I truly don't agree with, but there are also times when I really admire how some peers do things. Every company has its strengths and weaknesses, and if we can leverage each other's strengths and compensate for weaknesses, everyone benefits, and ultimately, the consumer benefits the most.

The longer I do this, the more I realize I'm not a very successful or truly certain person. Regarding the path ahead, I often feel a bit lost and a bit certain, walking a middle ground. Sometimes, like in the past month or so, due to some changes at work, I feel a little lost and unsure of how to proceed. I think this is normal, though. No one knows exactly what the future holds. All we can do is try our best with what we have now, constantly improve, and strive to do things better. I hope I can do better.
