 Recently, I have been going back to the gym. Prior to the last couple months where I felt like I was religiously skipping working out, I had a year or two where I would go at least three to four times a week, which is good for me, considering my busy schedule. I am not sure what made me take a five or six month break from the gym, but it seemed like because I knew I was not going to go on a schedule, I just completely avoided it in general.

I had my friend Brian write me a workout plan, as I needed something to hold me accountable and give me a reason to go. It was extremely hard on the first week, as I had.to get back in the routine of making time to go. I have been going the last couple weeks, and although it has not been as consistent as I would want it to be, I feel that it has already had a lasting effect on me. Working out helps me clear my mind, especially since my work and school life is quite chaotic.

Being back in a workout routine has helped me feel better throughout the day and work harder. I cannot explain the reason why, but it gives a stronger sense of purpose to my day. It also helps with my diet, as I consciously choose healthier foods to accommodate my lifestyle and my workout gains. I hope to continue on the workout plan and fully get back into a good workout routine.

Leo Lu: Job Description

 Sneaker Store Owner I have fun explaining my job to people. It's rare, so they don't hear about it daily. When I tell people I own a sneaker store, they often don't understand what that means or what it entails. Luckily for everyone reading, I will do my best to explain my day-to-day. At the basis of my work, I am an entrepreneur, working as a sneaker reseller. If you are not familiar with streetwear culture, our work revolves around the buying and selling of limited sneakers and streetwear. When these items release for the retail price, they often sell out within minutes, and sometimes even within seconds. My job is to find retail buyers, pay their premium, and charge consumers a markup on my buying price.  Many look down on our job. They blame us for sneakers selling for 5-10x over retail. In reality, we are like any other sellers in any market. No one gets mad at Louis Vuitton for marking up a handbag 100x, or at a grocery store for charging 3-5x for daily essentials....

World We Imagine Part 1

This quote from The Blue Sweater  has a lot of depth to its meaning because it captures the entire world as one. Oftentimes, we forget that as humans, we are much more similar than we are different. We see exterior and interior factors about each other and think that we are polar opposites. However, in order to grow, we should come to a realization that we must work with and provide for other human beings to achieve a common goal. I believe that my purpose in providing for others is done in a business setting. My first step in making the world a better place is to create value for people. Because I am a business-minded person, I feel that my impact in the world is best felt buying and selling goods to people that creates a sense of joy for them. I have also tried to do more giveaways and give better deals to people, as I want to keep my customers happy. Creating positivity around the business not only benefits customers, but also improves my team and I's overall morale. Going forwa...
