Today, the LOGO of Eastern Wisdom was born, and I excitedly record this moment in my blog.
According to the gentleman’s agreement and initial planning among the three of us, this website was originally scheduled to launch during this year’s National Day holiday. For this, I sacrificed the rare opportunity to visit my two beloved children in Ningbo. At this very moment, I have so much on my mind. The tasks ahead require me to accumulate a lot of energy, but longing and reluctance are depleting the energy I’ve painstakingly gathered. I know I can’t be sad and shed tears anymore; instead, I need to throw myself into the upcoming new work, new environment, and new challenges with utmost enthusiasm and confidence!
I am certain of this: this website is something I am destined to do. From my experience over the past few years, anything that I’m not meant to do, no matter how hard I try, I can’t accomplish it; anything I’m meant to do, although it may not be smooth sailing, when I undertake it, progress becomes unstoppable, as if aided by divine forces—opening roads when encountering mountains and building bridges when meeting water.
It’s only been 3 days since the website began. My initial idea was to introduce Eastern traditional culture through this website. So, I thought of some phrases and initially tried a few, but they were either very expensive or already registered. Later, I typed in “easternwisdom“, and it turned out it wasn’t registered and was available at the base price for a domain name. This domain seems to have been reserved just for us; I am extremely grateful. At first glance, I knew this was the one!
Xiao Ma is the technical lead for this website; we are all people with our own stories, and we hit it off immediately when working on this project. We agreed to join hands and overcome challenges together, but in fact, more often than not, I feel that his and Mr. Tang’s presence are like benefactors to me—they are helping me navigate through difficult times. What I need to do is to help more people who need assistance in the future.
At midnight today, the logo of Easten Wisdom was miraculously born. The process was surprisingly smooth. Initially, we wanted to choose Chinese red and the deep purple representing “Nine Purple Li Fire”，but considering that we are a cultural content website, we naturally ended up choosing the macaron dark blue that we all love. This color tone will also be the main theme of our future website and writings—profound, intellectual, and vast, like the azure blue of our Earth viewed from high altitude. Its first letter is the “E” of “Earth”—that is our Earth, which is the common home of all humanity and where our life’s mission lies.
Although it’s only been 3 days, it feels much longer to me. Every night, Xiao Ma guides me in backend editing, and our exchanges often last until nearly midnight. I’m not slow; I learn quite quickly, partly thanks to my many years of research and analytical thinking. However, in terms of technology, Xiao Ma’s ability to handle everything impresses me and makes me marvel at the importance of specialization.
I previously worked on a soft science research project called “The Chinese Practice of Modular Innovation“, which discusses how to leverage each person’s unique strengths to achieve rapid, single-domain breakthrough innovations in response to dramatic market changes. In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, we need to piece together everyone’s advantages, just like building with Lego blocks. This means the era of relying on individual effort to single-handedly build “planes” is over; if we combine everyone’s strengths like building blocks or modules, we can directly create “fighter jets”.
This afternoon, I watched a video stating that Elon Musk is about to release his Tesla RoboTaxi on October 10th. It’s no longer just a car but a vehicle-like robot. The commentator mentioned that: its driving safety performance is 10 times higher than that of an average person, and its IQ is equivalent to that of a PhD. Within the next 10 years, ordinary people might not be able to do anything better than robots.
I thought to myself: With AI developing so rapidly, many people will gradually lose their jobs, and more will be unable to find their place. Will the rapid development of AI really make everyone happier, or will it bring more unhappiness? And what about our children? They urgently need to rethink why they are studying. Parents and teachers need to reconsider the meaning of education!
