Chess and life: a metaphor of transformation and choice. Product Design (透).

Chess, this is a game I play with my children, every move is irreversible, just like life. If life could be turned back, would there be a do-over moment?

This question was asked by a child at home. He asked curiously: “Dad, if you could go back in time, would you regret starting a business?”

I fell into silence because I have already gone through the years of entrepreneurship. How can I answer this question?

The child insisted, “This question is about your thoughts.”

I thought about it, and then said softly: “You probably don’t want to start a business again.” Because starting a business requires not only funds, but also industry, mentality, and heart load. You need to think carefully, not just stupidity is enough.

I started my business half a year before the outbreak, and I did not expect that such a situation would happen.

One year later, I had to put away my dream of starting a business and face the challenges at the peak of the epidemic.

It all seemed like a dream. My wife and I could only smile bitterly and spread our hands. Everything was an arrangement of fate.

However, surprisingly, the child saw through my mind.

A few years ago, such a topic would have been untouchable, but now I can talk about it so calmly. Maybe, this is the process of growing up. Maybe I have grown up, or in other words, the child has grown up.

The following is–

The passage of time and the transformation of growth.

“Every step is our own choice.”

The only thing I know is that I know nothing.

Learning Philosophy Is Practicing Death.
Art Is Spiritual Inheritance.
Design Is Learning And Living.
