In this first episode, I pose the question, “Who am I?” and encourage my listeners to ask it themselves, with the understanding we are looking at the answer through our lenses. I quote a few great thinkers and important figures of our history:
“The unexamined life is not worth living.” - Socrates
“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born & the day you find out why.” - Mark Twain
“A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open.” - Frank Zappa
“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” - Winston Churchill.

#5 - Why I Podcast

In this episode, I make an attempt at explaining why I created my podcast. Honestly, I don’t know if I am effective. I am almost certain the reason or purpose of my podcast will change with time. Below are the quotes I use in my episode.
Fame or self: which matters most?
Self or wealth: which is more precious?
Gain or loss: which is more painful? - Chinese philosopher, Laozi.
"The most important thing to do in your life is to not interfere with somebody else’s life." Frank Zappa
"One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds." - Frank Zappa
"Those moments of suffering interrupt your life and they remind you you’re not the person you thought you were. They carve through the floor of the basement of your soul, and they reveal a cavity below and they carve through that floor, and they reveal a cavity below." - Paul Tillich
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." - Maya Angelou
