32: Work Smarter, Not Harder

Thirty two years and to sum it up: work smarter, not harder. Thanks to the friends who sent a birthday wish via SMS text this morning, it is not received without appreciation. On this special day, do I feel complacency? No stranger to the feeling but it cannot be found here. Still, the lifestyle is at an all-time best, without nagging office hours! Starting the day at 8am with blueberries and Greek yogurt:

Brought the water to a boil to make up a pot of tea; subsequent steeping will be the foundation of lemon iced tea. Fermented pu’er tea from Yunnan, China, comes in a hardened round UFO shape and stores for years, aging like fine wine:

Stella waited patiently for her morning breakfast:

Checking out the newly minted and published Wilson Tai “Rosewood House” book (artist’s proof), and it’s a doozey: 400+ pages and 1,300+ photographs. It just looks so sick on the coffee table.

Logged into ebaY, completing $11,000 in sales the past month, and found some new feedback; coincidentally reaching 420 seller transactions with 100% positive feedback. I sell high end connoisseur type goods, and recently those items include the sexy keywords: carbon fiber, monocoque, and titanium. Favorite destinations I’ve shipped to include Taiwan, Greece, Iceland, Japan, Canada, Philippines, Ireland, England, Brazil, Singapore, Puerto Rico, New Zealand and Australia.

A perk to the climactic morning with a french pressed cup of espresso; in Australia it is identified as a “short black.”

Upgrade your lifestyle, clarify your mindset, stay true to oneself. RACINGMIX.
