This framework, why do I think it's important?

If somebody would see this podcast like right now and looks at me.

So I do assume there is a lot of projection, okay?

He's Asian dressed.

He has a shaved head.

Yeah, he talks about all this spirituality and about knowing yourself.

So apparently he has never worked outside in the world with the normal problems that we all have.

That's why he can be somewhere at his temple or hide inside the mountains or in the forest in order to reflect upon life.

Well, first of all, that is a projection.

It is not what I am.

And therefore, jumping back a little bit, my journey started like the journey of many other people as well, meaning I had parents that came as refugees from Vietnam to Europe.

Because in Vietnam they were running away from the regime and of the consequences of war at that time.

With the idea of finding safety and stability in a foreign country.

So now already it's like important to acknowledge.

So you have two human beings, my father and my mother, running away from their home country.

in order to look for safety in a foreign country.

So this idea of safety was very, very deep embedded into the mindset of my parents.

Therefore, their focus in educating me and my brother was based upon no matter what you do, first of all, the important part is

Do your education, go to school, qualify yourself, get a proper job, earn some proper money, and this financial wealth is going to give you some stability.

So that was the idea of my parents.
