    This is Part 1 of my 3 part series on retirement and how we're going to break all the rules in 2020 and get started on living a fulfilling and happy life! Don't let money be the reason why you don't have enough to do everything you love! We've always thought that life happened in a linear fashion: (1) go to school → (2) get a job → (3) retire. What people don't talk about is all the work that comes in between and the chances for things to go wrong! There's always a recession or a bitcoin burst around the corner, so let's get ahead and prevent it! Please don't forget to stick around for Part 2 and 3!

    Social life is tough, especially for an 8 year old. As a child, we don't think before we speak, or we just don't think our words hurt. But they actually do. And children are very emotional and impressionable at this age. So much so that it hurt me when someone made fun of me for the Disney shirts I wore to school. Don't be a bully.

    The hardest part about applying for graduate school is putting together a "strong" application. But what does that even mean? In this episode, I talk about 5 things that you'll need to keep in mind as you embark your journey to Optometry! (1) Your OAT Score, (2) Joining a Pre-Optometry Organization, (3) Shadowing an Optometrist or working as an Optometric Assistant, (4) your Personal Statement, and (5) letters of recommendation.

    Common dual degrees for physicians, whether you're going for an MD or a DO, include MBA, MS, MA, and the most common, PhD. But what about MD/JD or DO/JD? Most people think that these two fields are unrelated or are too hard to go through. Other's believe that it's financially more taxing. It doesn't help how there aren't many people in the world who have done and there aren't many discussions integrating both the medical and law worlds. In this episode, check out how adding a JD to your medical degree isn't so different than a PhD. Physician Lawyers exist.

    Part 1 in our Confidence and Motivation Series. As a first generation Asian American, I saw firsthand how my parents and grandparents felt like their voices weren't heard. They believed that they didn't have the right to advocate for themselves. A lot of this has to do with our society and being in a new country. But some of it has to do with how people discourage the idea of entitlement. And no, I don't mean the snobby, pompous, prick kind of entitlement. I'm talking about the kind of entitlement that lets you speak up, ask questions, and voice your concerns when you're at the doctors - or in this case when you're getting your glasses. This episode is dedicated to our Ong Ngaoi, our maternal grandfather who was there with us since Day 1.
