A Little Bit About Me

I thought that my first post should tell you something more about myself. Why did I start this blog? What kind of a person am I? Am I one of those get-rich-quick guys building some fake blog to earn some quick bucks? Or just another frustrated kid rambling about how depressing life is? Let me tell you.

So.. who am I?
Hi! I’m Daniel, not Danielle. So I’m a guy. I just graduated from a local university and I live in Singapore. Some people don’t even know that this country existed. If you are one of them, you just learned something new! Go google it!

What do I do for a living?
A full-time software engineer and part-time tutor.

A bit about my family background?
A simple, mediocre family. We make just enough to get by. There’s always food in my stomach. For that, I’m grateful. But I’m not satisfied with what I’m bringing back home to the family each month. This dissatisfaction is what drives me to do more.

What kind of a person am I?
Sounds deep. You’ll find out as you read my blog. :)

What are my interests?
My number one love has got to be music. I like to sing and play on the guitar. In fact, I love it so much that I’ll be starting my music blog soon together with a friend.

I love art too. Drawing cartoons used to be something I do quite often in the past. In fact, the little illustrations that you see in this blog are all drawn by me using a Wacom tablet.

I love the sun, the sand and the sea too! I like to sweat it out, play some basketball or soccer, or just run. I’m a manga addict and I love watching animes. Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Defense Devil, Hajime no Ippo and so on, I read them all. Travelling is a passion but I don’t do that often. I like to see things work out too. Oh. And matchmaking is one of my interests. Got a girlfriend? Or boyfriend? Need some help? Haha.

Why did I start this blog? The REAL reason.
You were right. I’m some frustrated kid who’s gonna bitch about life… NOT! It all started when I took up a short internship at Infineon Technologies shortly after graduation. I was feeling lost and unsure of where I’m heading, until I met a cool boss who taught me well, forced me to pick up reading and got me all hyped up to succeed in life. Hence, through this blog, I hope to do the same, reach out to more people and inspire them to succeed in life.

Let’s walk the talk now…
So, that was a short introduction to myself. Right now, I’m at the starting point and I’m still learning how to go about doing this. If you are like me, yearning to achieve something in life but have not done so, I urge you to join me in this journey. We’ll grope around. We’ll listen to the experts. We’ll make mistakes. We’ll go through emotional ups and downs. But we won’t give up.

If you are someone who is already successful and have a story to share, feel free to do so. I’ll be doing up my contact form soon on this page. Right now, everything is still under construction. But it won’t stay this way for long.

Finally, I’ll like to end off this post with a quote from someone I respect a lot.

"Do not wait; the time will never be just right. Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along." – Napolean Hill

    I think that’s a honest and great start for people to find relation to their backgrounds and it works to know that we are all working from ground zero!

    Daniel, I’m not even sure how I found your site. I just had a flash of inspiration and thought to look up TheLostOne.com. Reading the first 2 post you have on here, I see that you are a man of great dreams and goals. I have read a book that might be of interest to you, “The Way of the Superior Man” by David Deida. It seems to reflect the way of thinking that you have presented here.

      Hi! Thanks for the comment. It really made my day! I couldn’t stop smiling. And thanks for the recommendation. I’ll definitely read the book. I’m quite surprised that you found the blog though since I’m still in the process of building it. Looking forward to your future support!
