Math teachers hate this ONE trick!

Why calculate when you can just… do it?
In China, we don’t waste time with 7x3=21. We say: “NO MATTER SEVEN THREE TWENTY-ONE” and just send it!
Are you a thinker or a “7-3-21” doer? Tell us!

Building has tested me in ways I never expected.

As CEO, tech lead, product thinker, problem solver, and sometimes the person holding everything together mentally, it has not been easy.

There were moments of excitement, but also frustration.
From dealing with Apple challenges and technical roadblocks, to handling life itself while still trying to build something meaningful.

People often see startups from the outside and think it’s just about launches, funding, or big wins.
What they don’t see are the sleepless nights, the uncertainty, the pressure, and the discipline it takes to keep going when things are not moving the way you hoped.

But despite everything, I’m still here.
Still building.
Still learning.
Still believing in what Hafrik can become.

This journey is shaping me as much as I’m shaping the company.

To every founder, builder, engineer, designer, or dreamer carrying weight behind the scenes, I see you.

We keep going.

YOU AREN'T BEHIND....ENJOY THE TIME YOU ARE IN...

I used to say this to people, i will choose china over America 100 times. Ask me why.

Self consciousness is one of the biggest flex we could ever develop, mostly as young people (just don't be overly self absorbed ) and the best way to start or develop this ability is firstly becoming conscious of your sitting position, yeap, as simple as that, other things will follow suit. Basically straightening your spine when sitting. Try this and see its effect over time on your awareness level. Whenever you're sitting down whilst your back is not supported by a chair or anything else, you tend to fold your body forward, so try reminding yourself to straighten your back and sit upright.



Let's know what else is a flex, that you may have and you think others may need to acquire also 😮‍💨

WhatsApp/Instagram/Google in China – What’s working for you?

Just arrived or planning a trip? Here’s the real deal on staying connected:

The Block
WhatsApp, Instagram, Google (Maps, Gmail, Drive), Facebook, and X are blocked here without a stable connection tool. Don’t panic—it’s manageable.

What actually works:
WeChat = Everything (chat, pay, mini-apps, life)
Baidu Maps > Google Maps for local navigation (Chinese/English available)
Outlook/Hotmail usually works without issues for email
Bing works for search (international version)
Apple Maps works if you have iPhone

Pro tips:
- Download a VPN before you arrive (if you go that route—test a few, they vary by city/ISP)
- International roaming: from your home SIM sometimes bypasses blocks (but check data costs!)
- Alipay or WeChat Pay are essential—way more important than Instagram access

My question to you:
What’s your setup? VPN, roaming, or full "going local" with Chinese apps? Any apps surprisingly working better than expected?

Drop your tips below for the new arrivals!

FEED POST: The "Small Change" Trap
Taobao is calling, but your bank account is screaming.
In China, everything is "cheap" until you add it all up. Are you spending on your Future or just your Feed?
The 300 vs 250 Rule: I used to run out of food money spending 300 RMB. Then I learned to portion my meat and write a timetable. Now, 250 RMB lasts longer than 300 used to!
The 1 RMB Illusion: 0.9 RMB feels like nothing. But 10 of those "nothings" is a meal gone. Watch the small coins.
Needs over Flash: Electricity and a good blanket beat "room design" and new shoes every time.
Your budget is your freedom. Don't trade it for something flashy.

Sometimes the next big opportunity won’t come from your CV.
It will come from conversations you haven’t had and rooms you haven’t entered.

Success isn’t just about qualifications, it’s about access and positioning.

Nobody Told Me It Would Be This Quiet🥹🥹🥹

When Dunni moved to China, she thought the hardest part would be the language.

She was wrong.

It was the silence, not the peaceful kind but the confusing kind.

Ordering food? You point, smile, hope for the best.

Entering a store? People are polite but distant.

Trying to explain what you do? That’s a whole different struggle.

Every day felt like this

You’re doing your best, but somehow, you’re not being understood

Not because you’re wrong. Not because you’re not trying.

But because the system around you wasn’t built with you in mind.

One evening, after struggling to explain a simple request, she laughed to herself and said, So this is what it feels like to have value but no clear way to express it.

Sometimes, it’s not you. It’s the environment.

Because being seen clearly changes everything

Yo, made new friends, it was quite easy making new connections, not just people to talk to, but people with various possible opportunities to offer. With this 3 things you could connect quickly when you meet new people, remember in china, and basically anywhere in the world, to be ahead you need people who know more than you do in such a field or pursuit.
1 - when you say hi/hello ( basically greetings) remember to comment on something they're wearing or something you could highlight about them. eg " hi, good day, I love this blazers though, looking real good" then your name and blah blah blah you go on
2 - make sure you have quality questions planned always, (create a frame work) many people don't have any sort of frame work, they say " just go with the flow" as much as this sounds doable, make sure you have a framework, eg firstly ask where they're from, second, their name, then repeat Thier name twice and up to 4 times in the conversation ( very important).
And lastly but not the least
3 - ask about what they do, and listen like your life depends on it, then you can ask if you could take a picture, (after the whole discussion though) then ask for their WeChat/WhatsApp so you could send it to them, remember you are trying to build a connection, so enjoy the whole thing👋,
Give us some of your guidelines on how to reach out to some new.

I've seen a lot of people with some sort of victim mindset, it's an unknown cover on their head that spans over almost all the activities of their lives without knowing, sometimes they seem to encounter a bit of it, most times flow with it. My question is, how does one know, he or she has such a mindset, seeing that it can be something hidden within us?

Life have a way of rewarding being consistent at what you do .
Often times we have great expectations so clear in the mind .
But this sometimes takes years to materialize.
Whatever you may be involve in dont quit because you haven’t seen any result
The first few years may be chaos , it’s all part of the preparation. Keep moving and don’t give up on that ministry , business, relationship, schooling etc.

Most times, even red flags look like flowers if you view them from a jar filled with roses

Your degree might open the door.
But your behavior decides how long you stay in the room.

Nobody pays you for information.
They pay you for application.

How you think under pressure.
How you communicate when it matters.
How you solve problems when others freeze.
How you stay consistent when motivation disappears.

Hard skills create opportunity.
Soft skills create leverage.

Communication builds influence.
Emotional intelligence protects relationships.
Critical thinking protects decisions.
Self-discipline protects your future.
Consistency builds authority.

And here’s what most people miss:

The highest earners aren’t always the most qualified.
They’re the most adaptable.
The calmest in chaos.
The clearest in confusion.
The most reliable over time.

Skills compound.
Confidence compounds.
Reputation compounds.

Income grows when value grows.
Value grows when character grows.

Don’t chase more certificates.
Build more capability.
