What I Believe

🎯 Always set a goal. Having a target enables step-by-step progress. Tools are just the beginning; structure is the destination. Both require a "zero-to-one" mindset.

Everything is design — even spreadsheets. Attention to detail matters everywhere.

💡 Curiosity is my daily fuel. Always maintain a sense of wonder about the world.

☀️ Embrace personality and refinement in life. Even when life gets tough, strive to live each day well.
