【AWS x TSS Startup Meetup: The Story Behind Failure and Success】
Last night, we hosted AWS for their first startup meetup event in Taiwan! We had Alex Cheng (AWS Startup Accelerator Manager and former GM of honestbee and Parktor), and Daren Kang (Founder and CEO of 1TM and Doers and Dreamers) to talk about their valuable experiences and insights in running and leading startups to success.
Here are a few takeaways from the event:
👉 Leadership and Integrity
Sometimes it is easy to get lost when you’re running a promising startup with the investors pouring in large amounts of money to support your business. For your company’s long term success, you want your employees to be ethical, and the leadership has the responsibility to set the example. The high standard of moral principles is priceless to you, your business, and any associated group.
👉 Passion and Enthusiasm
Entrepreneurship is a long and difficult journey where founders will discover about themselves in terms of what they love and what they are good at. Finding the right balance between passion and expertise could make the journey much more exciting and meaningful along the way.
👉 Persistence and Adaptability
Living in an economy where customer behaviors are changing rapidly, entrepreneurs need to be persistent and adaptable to realize their dreams. It is a perfect time for people to take advantage of the abundant digital tools that could help form businesses!

【桃花開在周杰倫】The Peach Blossom named Jay Chou(English writing below)
上星期的Youtube影片中,我談到周杰倫前世如何修到大桃花,以及桃花和個人財富的關係。
2019年9月11日2300H,久未發新歌的周杰倫推出新歌單曲《說好不哭》,兩天內就破一千萬的流量,刷下華語樂壇的新紀錄,而且在超過十個國家,包括美國、澳洲、韓國、德國、新馬港台等,都衝上了Youtube發燒影片第一名。
相比之下,蔡依林去年年尾推出睽違四年的新專輯,打破了傳統歌手唱情歌的套路,其中七首歌都有概念新穎、議論性極高的MV,但影片流量卻不敵這次「周五」的合作。
我不是蔡依林的歌迷,但她這次為專輯的付出真的讓我刮目相看 - 回顧蔡依林出道至今的「黑歷史」MV《怪美》,邀請吳君如一起拍向80、90年代香港電影致敬的MV《腦公》,邀小S拍的MV《紅衣女孩》,以及今年榮獲台灣金曲獎年度歌曲獎的《玫瑰少年》等等。
我個人很喜歡這首《玫瑰少年》。此歌以轟動一時的「葉永鋕事件」為背後故事:葉永鋕,台灣人,國中生,因不同的性別氣質而遭到同學霸凌,不敢在下課時間去上廁所。十五歲那年,葉永鋕在上課時,提前離開教室去上廁所,後來被發現傷重倒臥血泊中,送醫後不治死亡。(取之:维基百科)
而在今年五月,台灣成為第一個將同性婚姻合法化的亞洲國家,讓《玫瑰少年》更具有代表性。
再看看周杰倫這次的新歌《說好不哭》,如果你也覺得「周杰倫是我的青春」,這MV用的許多「情懷梗」,作詞人方文山,神秘來賓五月天阿信,必會讓你驚喜連連。
對我而言,這首歌延續著周氏情歌的曲風,MV拍法沒有突破,並沒有像蔡依林的專輯有那麽強大的創意和正面能量。
可是蔡依林這次別出心裁,影片流量和賺到的錢也不少,卻依然亞於周杰倫。
這一切的現象隱藏著過去世的因果。
據我根本上師聖尊蓮生活佛開示,周杰倫前世修密教的敬愛法,想必他持了天文數字的敬愛咒。他八字寫著,這一世的寫歌本領就是他修來的眾桃花投影。
這桃花非同凡響,改變了華語樂壇對流行歌的審美觀。這次《說好不哭》的MV流量、新歌銷量等,都名列前茅,新歌上線的24小時內,總銷量548.5萬張,售額1645.6萬元人民幣(S$3.2m)。
蔡依林全身都是重桃花相,但就算如此,她和幾個星期前出新歌《對的時間點》的林俊傑,也完全被周杰倫比下去。
一些聰明的Youtuber在《說好不哭》上線24小時內火速推出了自己的翻唱影片,鋼琴彈奏版,歌詞版等。這是很明智的作法,因為不用花錢就能夠沾個邊,借一借周杰倫的桃花來旺自己。如果周杰倫的八字及歌曲旺他們的八字,就會更有效。
網路搜索,加上娛樂新聞頻道的新聞報導,他們的頻道便會迅速增加訂閱和流量。
寫了這麼多,有三點要提醒大家:
1)有幸得到師尊灌頂的敬愛尊咕嚕咕咧佛母和愛染明王法的同門,請勤修此法。
有眾桃花,貴人顯著,做什麼事情真的會比較容易,賺錢也可以比別人快。我個人的修法領悟,如果抱著利益眾生的菩提心來修,效果會更不可思議。
2) 要賺錢,你速度要快。
錢如流水走很快不等人,你要懂得觀察局勢,學學那些Youtubers的掙錢速度及魄力。如果還是不會, 批八字看風水時,可請教你的師父如何迅速為自己增強桃花。
3)往對的方向,用對的方法努力,能改自己和別人的命
無論你八字中有沒有眾生緣,你要有錢,有敬愛的魅力,你都得努力地去結眾生緣,持續地去佈施,慢慢地去積累。因為再多的眾生緣,也會有用完的一天。
以上的歌手都是努力的典範,包括那些Youtubers。因為努力而產生的影響力,能引導他人改自己的運勢,你的功德可加倍。
不要一日一日地這樣荒廢青春,別把時間都給了家人,而吝於給他人。佈施要用心思,要不然,有一天福報見底時,你和你的家人就會出現資糧荒的現況了。
「聰明人將精力用於預防和積累,而蠢蛋則寄望於補救。」

In my Youtube video last week, I talked about how Jay Chou cultivated his great Peach Blossoms in his past life and the correlation between your personal wealth and your Peach Blossoms.
On 11 September 2019 2300H, Jay Chou released his much-awaited new song "Won't Cry". His MV crossed 10 millions views within 48 hours on Youtube, setting a new record for Chinese music entertainment scene, and was the #1 trending MV in over 10 countries, including USA, Australia, Korea, Germany, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan. His latest single also crashed Chinese music streaming site QQ music in less than a hour after its release.
In comparison, Jolin Tsai launched her new concept album end of last year, after a hiatus of 4 years. The album broke out of the conventional love ballads typical of Mandopop. 7 songs in this album were launched on Youtube with very creative and artsy music videos, which attracted much online discussion.
Yet the views on her MV cannot be compared with Jay Chou's latest MV.
While I am not a fan of Jolin Tsai, I applaud her effort for this album. The Ugly Beauty MV talks about the criticisms that Jolin Tsai had received since her debut. The Hubby MV was a salute to Hong Kong movies in the 80s & 90s, with Sandra Wu guest starring. Xiao S was also invited for her Lady in Red MV. The song Womxnly won the Song of the Year in this year's Golden Melody Awards, while this album won Album of the Year.
My personal favourite is the song Womxnly, which was inspired by the sensational story of Yeh Yung-chih, a secondary school Taiwanese student who had been long bullied for his perceived effeminate behaviour and thus, never dared to go to the school toilet at break times. One day, just five minutes before school ended, he was found dead in the school’s restroom in a pool of blood at the age of 15.
In May this year, Taiwan became the first Asian country to legalise same-sex marriage and Womxnly became even more symbolic.
Let's now take a look at Jay Chou's new single Won't Cry. If you also think that "Jay Chou is my youth", the many punchlines in this MV, the lyricist Vincent Fang and the mystery guest Ashin of Mayday will have you grinning in surprise.
To me, while this song is not bad and a continuation of Jay Chou's love ballad style, it does not carry as much creativity and positive energy as Jolin Tsai's Ugly Beauty album. Jay Chou's MV was also pretty similar to many of his past MVs. There was no breakthrough.
Yet, beneath all that we have seen till now, is the karma from many past lives.
My Root Guru, His Holiness Living Buddha expounded that in Jay Chou's past life, he practiced the Magnetization Sadhana of Varjayana, and had recited an astronomical number of the mantra of Love and Respect. As stated in his Bazi, his songwriting talent this lifetime is a reflection of his cultivated Peach Blossoms of Mass Appeal.
This is an extraordinary Peach Blossom, as it rewrote the judgment standard of Mandopop. The viewership of Jay Chou's Won't Cry MV and sales volume of the single are just as astounding. Within 24 hours of release, his new song sold 5.485 million copies online and raked in S$3.2million.
The entire physical appearance of Jolin Tsai spells of heavy Peach Blossom of mass appeal. However, with Jay Chou in the picture, both she and JJ Lin Junjie who released a new single The Right Time 3 weeks ago paled in comparison.
Some clever Youtubers quickly uploaded their own covers, in less than 24 hours of Jay Chou's new song release. There were cover songs, piano versions, and lyric version. This is a very smart way of leveraging on Jay Chou's Peach Blossom luck for FREE. Works best if the song and Jay Chou’s Bazi are compatible with their Bazi.
Through online searches and online entertainment channels who report about the covers, the Youtubers get to boost their subscriber volumes and viewership at a much faster rate.
These are the 3 points I wish to highlight to everyone after writing so much:
1) To my fellow Dharma brothers and sisters who are fortunate enough to receive our Root Guru's Dharma empowerment of Kurukullā and Rāgarāja, please cultivate this Sadhana diligently.
When you have Peach Blossom of Mass Appeal, your benefactors are prominent and everything that you do in life gets easily done, even earning money is faster for you. My personal experience is that if you practice this Sadhana with the Bodhicitta heart to benefit sentient beings, the effects will be incredible.
2) If you make money, you must be speedy.
Money waits for no man. You have to know how to observe the situations and learn the money-making speed and drive of those Youtubers. If you do not know how, seek the advise of your Chinese Metaphysics practitioner, when getting your Bazi analysed or Feng Shui audit done.
3)Move in the right direction with the right method, and you can change your life and others' too.
Regardless your Bazi has mass appeal affinity or not, to have money, to have charisma of Love and Respect, you must be diligent in forming mass positive affinities. Learn to give and accumulate your way through. For no matter how many mass affinities you have, they get expedited over time.
The celebrities and Youtubers I mentioned above are examples of diligence.
When your hard work brings you the ability to influence, you will be able to guide others to improve their luck, be it you are conscious of it or not. And that doubles up your merits.
Don't squander your youth by living aimlessly. Don't blindly give all your time to your family and be miserly in giving your time to others.
Constant giving requires thought, otherwise when your good fortune hits rock bottom, you and your family will face a dire drought of life resources.
"The smart one spends his effort in prevention and accumulation, while the fool puts his hope in salvaging. "

【前港督彭定康錄影發言 促香港政府撤回修訂逃犯條例】
「我希望即使在這個最後階段,政府仍然可以退讓,撤回方案,不要再添亂。這修例不需要通過,亦不應該通過,香港應該繼續是一個有法治、有自由的社會,而不應該面對這些令人憂心的引渡修例。」
發言英文紀錄及中文翻譯:
Former Hong Kong Governor Lord Chris Patten video message Transcript
I know that this week in Hong Kong, thousands of people will be making their views clear, demonstrating against the proposals on extradition, which the government has put forward, extradition to China. It’s a proposal, or a set of proposals, which strike a terrible blow - I think - and so, I think to most people in Hong Kong and so does the international community, against the rule of law, against Hong Kong’s stability and security, against Hong Kong’s position as a great international trading hub. And the surprise is that the government in Hong Kong doesn’t seem to understand that. It does make you wonder sometimes who actually runs Hong Kong these days: is it the Hong Kong government or is it the joint liaison office acting on behalf of the communist regime in Beijing?
Why is this important? Well it’s the latest in a number of things that have happened in recent years which have tightened Beijing’s grip on Hong Kong, and which have profoundly worried people. I think for ten or a dozen years after 1997, things in Hong Kong went pretty well. Of course they could have gone better, I’m sorry that Beijing throttled the development of democracy, much against the promises that have been made earlier. But by and large, I think, Hong Kong remained a very free and successful society.
But ever since the regime in Beijing started to roll back Deng Xiaoping’s reforms and the developments that have taken place under Jiang Zemin and Zhu Rongji and Hu Jintao, and Wen Jiabao; ever since then, with the Party taking control over everything, cracking down on dissidents, cracking down on human rights, locking people up, incarcerating them in Xinjiang and so on. Ever since then, we know that Beijing has also been tightening its grip, or trying to, in Hong Kong. And I think that the latest proposals on extradition are an example of that.
Now a lot of very spurious arguments are put forward, it said that the present situation is a “loophole” which needs to be filled up - that’s absolute nonsense. People have known exactly why there shouldn’t be an extradition agreement with China for years, and many of the arguments put for the government’s proposals don’t actually pass the laugh-off-your-seat test. The argument that, well, it’s better to have an extradition treaty than to abduct people illegally from Hong Kong - are people really supposed to believe that?
Except for, but of course, Western democracies in Europe have extradition agreements with China, but they’re in a very different position to the position that Hong Kong is in. The reason why international chambers of commerce, why lawyers, why business around the world, why governments have raised their objections is very simple: because what these proposals do is to remove the firewall between Hong Kong’s rule of law and the idea of law - which prevails in Communist China - an idea of law where there aren’t any independent courts, where the courts and the security services and the party’s rules - which are, sometimes, pretty obscure - are rolled altogether. That’s why we’ve seen recently Canadian citizens that are locked up are taken as if it were hostage against things happening in Canada itself under the rule of law there. So it’s not surprising that people are so worried about what is happening.
I know that when people talk about the particular problem in relation to Taiwan, the leaders of the Hong Kong Bar Association over the last few years, I think a dozen of them, have put forward proposals which show how you could deal with that issue building on the existing common law.
So these proposals are bad for Hong Kong, they - I think - raise all sorts of questions which the government hasn’t even thought through, not least about Hong Kong’s economic importance and economic stability. We know very well that Hong Kong needs to be treated separately in economic and commercial matters from the rest of China. When I was governor a long time ago, I used to travel to Washington fairly regularly to argue the case for treating Hong Kong differently from, say, Shenzhen and Shanghai. But if you appear to be regarding Hong Kong from Beijing as though it was just another China city, then sooner or later, economic governments around the world, businesses around the world, when they’re looking even at things like the Belt and Road Initiative, they’re going to regard Hong Kong as just another part of China, and that would be really bad for the standard of living, for the quality of life in Hong Kong!
Above all, of course, if we go ahead, if the government goes ahead with this extradition agreement, it will cause unnecessary worries and anxieties in Hong Kong. That’s a really bad thing. I hope that even at this late stage, the government will back off and leave well alone. It doesn’t have to happen, it shouldn’t happen, and Hong Kong should carry on as a free society, under the rule of law, without having to worry about this extradition.
前港督彭定康錄影講話翻譯
我知道這星期在香港,成千上萬的人將會到街上遊行表達自己的意見,反對政府所提出將會容許引渡到中國的引渡修例建議。這是一項,或者應該說是一系列我及國際社會認為將會對香港的法治、香港的穩定和社會安全造成很大打擊的建議,它將會嚴重傷害香港作為一個國際貿易中心的地位。令人驚訝的是,香港政府似乎並不理解這一點。這確實令人懷疑這些日子究竟是誰在管治香港:是香港政府還是代表北京共產黨政權的中聯辦?
為甚麼這修例是這麼重要?這是近年來發生的一系列容許北京強行控制香港的事件之一,而這一直以來都讓人深感憂慮。我覺得在1997年之後的十年至十幾年,香港的情況進展尚算順利。當然,是本來可以更好,我很遺憾北京扼殺了香港民主的發展,違背了之前所作出的承諾。但總的來說,香港在那個時候仍然是一個非常自由和成功的社會。
但是,自北京政權開始推翻鄧小平的改革以及在江澤民、朱熔基、胡錦濤和溫家寶時期所推行的發展以後,共產黨控制着一切,打擊持不同政見的人,打擊人權,在新疆把人民關押等等。從那時起,我們就知道北京一直在試圖加緊控制香港。我認為最新的引渡建議就是一個例子。
現在香港政府提出了許多非常虛假的論點,它說目前的情況是展現了一個需要填補的「洞」,這絕對是胡說八道。大家多年來都確切地清楚知道不應該與中國達成引渡協議的原因。而政府提出的許多論點實際上也沒有一個不令你拍案大笑。政府認為制定引渡條約比從香港非法綁架人民更好,你認真覺得人們應該相信這個說法嗎?
當然他們又會說歐洲的西方民主國家與中國已經簽訂了引渡協議,但它們與香港根本處於完全不同的地位。國際商會、律師、商人及各國政府之所以提出反對意見的原因非常簡單:因為這些修例將會摧毀香港法治與中國共產黨的法治概念之間的防火牆。中國的法律觀念不包括任何獨立的法院,並把法院、國安部門以及黨的規則 (黨規則亦有時相當模糊)完全混在一起。這就是為甚麼我們最近看到被關起來的加拿大公民被用為人質,反對加拿大本身在她自己國家的法治下所發生的事情。因此,人們如此擔心這修例所帶來的影響並不奇怪。
我知道當人們都正在談到與台灣有關的問題之際,過去幾年的香港大律師公會領導人,應該是有十幾位,都已經提出意見,說明你如何就着香港現行的普通法來處理這個問題。
這些修例對香港不利,我認為這些修例所引發的疑問是甚至政府都沒有仔細考慮過的,尤其是對香港經濟重要性和經濟穩定性的影響。我們非常清楚在經濟和商業方面是需要把香港與中國其他地區分開對待。很久以前,當我還是港督的時候,我經常前往華盛頓游說對方看待香港的時候要跟對待深圳和上海之類的中國城市有所不同。但是如果以北京的角度看香港,將香港當為另一個普通中國城市,那麼世界各地的政府及企業將會視香港為中國的一部分(而不是特區),就算是看待「一帶一路」之類倡議時亦會是如此。這對香港的生活水平和生活質素都是非常不利的!
當然,最重要的是如果香港政府繼續硬推這些引渡修例,這將會在香港引起不必要的憂慮和焦慮。這些都是非常糟糕的事情。我希望即使在這個最後階段,政府仍然可以退讓,撤回方案,不要再添亂。這修例不需要通過,亦不應該通過,香港應該繼續是一個有法治、有自由的社會,而不應該面對這些令人憂心的引渡修例。

Hi, my name is Andrew. My cousin gave me the name MACHI DIDI when I was 12, which now we just shorten to MDD.
I'm now a musician living in Taipei, Taiwan. I love my cats and my girlfriend, and if you've ever heard the phrase "starving musician", it certainly applies to me. Still, I've never been happier in my life.
My purpose is to change the world through music and art. But that's a little grandiose. Let me narrow it down a little. In Taiwan, we don't have any good music/art schools like in other countries.
When you go out, most of the music being played is from America or Korea. In particular, night clubs and bars play almost exclusively American/European dance music.
I want to change that. I'm just one guy with a bedroom studio, but my goal is to make electronic music that can raise the standard for Taiwan and let the world say, "Hey, Taiwan makes good electronic music too!"

Please share on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc... with #TWforWHO and #TaiwanCanHelp
這是一封關於台灣參加WHO給世界衛生組織的公開信. 為什麼WHO跟WHA需要台灣?
過去幾天看過越來越多台灣的公眾人物在叫WHO讓台灣參加. 在現在新冠狀病毒的疫情狀況中我看過阿滴英文跟吳鳳的影片後我也覺得我要試試看自己試試看.
This is an open letter to the World Health Organization about including Taiwan as a member or observer. Why should Taiwan be included in the WHO and WHA?
Over the past few days, more and more figures in Taiwan such as 阿滴英文 Ray Du and 吳鳳 Rifat have been stepping out as proponents of the WHO considering inclusion of Taiwan into the world health organization amid the threat of the 2019 novel coronavirus epidemic. Seeing these pleas has motivated me to do my part.
Dear WHO,
I’m Brian. An American citizen who spent a good portion of my childhood living abroad in St. Kitts, and have been living and working in Taiwan for the past 10 years.
As an American citizen and having lived in St. Kitts and Taiwan, I’ve seen and experienced a wide range of medical facilities, practices, and benefits.
In Taiwan, I’ve without a doubt experienced the best quality of healthcare out of those three places.
Due to the unique history of Taiwan, it has been excluded from participating in the WHO. However, over the past months and especially in the past weeks since the seriousness of this 2019-nCoV outbreak have come to be realized, many leaders and people of influence from around the globe including the USA, Japan, Canada, Germany, Australia and others.
I have faith in Taiwan’s ability to aid in the battle against this new coronavirus, not only because of my knowledge of the affordable healthcare that’s available to all here, but also because the technology and procedures here are extremely modernized.
Taiwan has a highly skilled force of researchers, physicians, and medical professionals who could all be great assets in the worldwide fight to control this outbreak and minimize casualties.
The experience Taiwan has accumulated in the past while dealing with pandemics such as swine flu, mers, and sars have allowed professionals to learn the necessary skills and precautions to take to help thwart these types of outbreaks, and as a member of the who and wha, the skills of these amazing people could help not just in a local level, but on a global scale to contribute to the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible standard of health.
