It was a multi-level marketing (MLM) business opportunity presentation (BOP). And I&#8217;d like to thank Danny for inviting me to the event.<\/p>\n<p>In the brief hour I was there, I watched and mentally participated in the presentation. And the speaker, Jason Kong, asked, &#8220;How did you learn to ride a bicycle?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As any rhetorical question, the answer is obvious: to try over and over again until we can ride it properly.<\/p>\n<p>You can expect that the next question was, &#8220;Why did you want to learn to ride a bicycle?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To become a pilot!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yup, that was the answer in my mind. When I grew up, my childhood home was towards the end of the street. Imagine a &#8220;T&#8221; shape, if you will. I think I was about 6 or 7 years old. I remember as my brother was not born yet.<\/p>\n<p>Up to that point in my life, I&#8217;ve been on and off airplanes so many times. Every take off and landing and taxi-ing to the main terminal was amazing!<\/p>\n<p>And in my mind, riding the bicycle was the closest thing to piloting an aircraft on the runway.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a basic rhetorical question. Yet what popped up in my mind wasn&#8217;t correct or the right answer by the speakers definition: &#8220;To impress girls&#8221;, &#8220;to impress guys&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night I was invited to a talk: How to Build a Money Making Machine Online\u00a0at iCube, here in Kuching.
