about me

​

My name is Wong Kok Keong Edmund but my love and close friends call me Ed. My mother had stopped calling me using my name or any terms of endearment, mostly because I am already 38 years old. I have an Honours degree in Electronics engineering. I worked in several industries and hold various positions but find little satisfaction in most of them. Routine work seems to tied me down in ways that are more detrimental than productive. Some of these professions include Sales Engineer, Field Application Engineer, Application Engineer and Financial consultant. Most of the time, I am a thinker and a dreamer. A thinker would be what most call a philosopher, and a dreamer is what most would call a bumper or a slacker. To combine all these three words together (thinker, dreamer and philosopher), I came up with the idea for this book based on Aristotle ethics. A thinker can be ethical. A dreamer can also be ethical. Finally, a philosopher can be productive, simply by thinking about possibilities in life. Life to me consist of science, politics, economy, love and Aristotle ethics, as well as a little religious thoughts and experimentation. Thinking does not lead to death but thinking about death can be productive at times - it makes us treasure life more as well as to love more.
