Howdy! The daniel ma’s daniel ma is one of my favorites of the three levels to include. We’ll be on our way to the next level, the level of self-aware self-regulation.
This is a really good question, and I’m glad that I asked it. Yes, to the extent that you are consciously aware of your own habits, routines, impulses, and reactions, you are more likely to have a balanced life. However, it’s harder for you to have a balanced life if you don’t understand how other people are actually handling those things. So, if you are struggling with balancing your life, I recommend starting with this question.
This is more of a generalization, but we find that most of us lack a good framework for self-awareness, and it is often the case that we are unaware of where other people are coming from when we are doing the things we are doing. For example, our friends who are in the same situation I am in are usually doing the same thing we are doing, so they don’t notice. We are doing the same thing, and yet all of us are unaware of it.
This is how we can lose ourselves for a while. One of my closest friends and best confidants in the world, Daniel Ma, uses this tactic to his advantage. He is a senior citizen and he has been taking online classes since he was 16 years old. He has a life goal that he wishes to achieve by the time he is 60 years old and he keeps a journal of where he is, what he is doing, and where he is going.
We all have our own goals, our own lives, our own lives that we want to achieve by the time we are 60 years old. There is no good reason for us to not be following that path. However, if we are losing ourselves, we are losing ourselves for a while (even if we are not aware of it), then we go back to what we are doing (even if it is something else).
The problem is that we can become so obsessed with what we are doing and what we are doing that we never look back. Most of us follow our own lives like a map or a GPS and we don’t look back because we are so distracted.
This is where Daniel Ma enters the picture. His story is one that is hard to forget. After graduating from college, he went on to get a MBA, but he couldn’t afford to keep up with the high paying consulting jobs he did during this time. So he decided to leave the corporate world and start his own consulting company. He started it with a small team, quickly grew it to a few hundred employees, and by 2006 had become the world’s largest independent consulting firm.
The truth is that Daniel Ma was a master of the internet market. He was the guy who made the first google ad and linked to the first google image search. He is the guy who made the first facebook page and launched a billion dollar start-up. He is the guy who made the first twitter page and created the world’s first search engine. He is the guy who made the first youtube channel and a billion dollar company.
Daniel Ma was born in Taiwan and emigrated to the U.S. when he was in his teens. At the age of nine the family moved to San Francisco, where Daniel Ma attended elite school for the elite. He graduated at the age of twenty-four from the best school in the land. He came to the U.S. and began his career at a company called “The Dots”, which made the first search engine to crawl and index the net.
A few years later he took it upon himself to go back and create a new company called Dots. He took over the company and created an entire game called “Deadline,” which saw him creating a new game for the Dots platform called Deadline.
