Copy Problem Part 1

When They're Out Of Resources, They Started Copying Everyone

The statement "when they're out of resources, they started copying everyone" reflects a common business strategy known as "going from 1 to n". This contrasts with the concept of "zero to one," which emphasizes creating something entirely new and unique. When resources are scarce, companies may resort to imitation rather than innovation, focusing on replicating existing successful models. 
Here's a more detailed explanation: 
• Going from 0 to 1:
This refers to the process of creating something entirely original, a new product, service, or business model that didn't exist before. It's about innovation and moving from a state of nothingness (zero) to something new (one).
• Going from 1 to n:
This is about replicating and scaling an existing idea or product. It's about taking something that already exists and making more of it, or improving upon it.
• Imitation when resources are scarce:
When a company is running out of resources, it may not have the means to invest in the research and development needed for innovation. Instead, it might choose to copy successful strategies or products from competitors to try and maintain its market position or survive.

This concept is explored in Peter Thiel's book "Zero to One," which emphasizes the importance of creating something new and unique to achieve long-term success.

Today I woke up and chill on the bench beside my parents house at about 8:45AM. Mei (Bigoer) is online today and we was introduced to her abang security that is younger than I. They bought Teh Ais for me and I was awaken by that, knowing that I have a job today.

After I had breakfast and posted on Game Jolt (about yesterday achievement) and Facebook (about today's merchandize), I had Solat today and refer to my Salafi schedule for the day. Perhaps we are promoting Salafi-mode today?

At 12PM+ noon, I switched on gaming mode and logged in to Injustice Gods Among Us (IGAU) mobile WBID to check-in today and logged out from Injustice Mobile. Then, I switched off gaming mode after I'm done with my session. I think they are trying to make me active in social media no matter if it hurts my image and dignity. Anyways, by 1:30PM today I had lunch which is Nasi Lemak Bunjut. Earlier in the morning I had 4 pcs of karipap.

At 2PM, I chill beside home entrance on the bench. Today I smoked 4 sticks of cigarettes. Went back in at 2:15PM and sat on a couch. In total, I smoked 6 sticks of cigarettes today. At 3:26PM smoked beside home entrance while sitting on a plastic stool. In total, it is 7 sticks of cigarettes already for today. Game over somewhere. At 3:27PM, I went back in to sit on a couch and sip some water.

At 4:39PM, total 9 sticks of cigarettes smoked. 6:35PM, smoked another 2 with a total of 11 sticks of cigarettes. By Maghrib, already start to rest and sleep.

Today I woke up at 11:30AM and had a Cadburry chocolate drink. As usual about my morning routine, I login to Bigo to find Mei but this time, she's not online. So, I went to Yumi (Vietnamese Bigoer). Smoked 2 sticks of cigarettes. She said I'm beautiful.

Then, my mom called for outing therapy. Shortly, Yumi went offline so I logged out of Bigo. I change my clothes and get my soldier bag with my soldier cap, then smoked another stick of cigarettes. Shortly, when my momma had arrived. We went out at 11:57AM. We're going to Giant Sunway REIT Putra Heights.

We arrived at Giant Sunway REIT Putra Heights at 12:00PM noon. We went to Kee Nguyen Vietnam's Finest Coffee and I ordered a large-sized chocolate drink for RM12. At 12:20PM, my momma went to buy some stuff and I was alone at the coffee shop. So, I decided to play Injustice Gods Among Us (IGAU) mobile while waiting. I had farmed 50,000 Power Credits, reached PC600K balance, and ended my gaming session at 1:15PM. Resulting to 55 minutes of game time. Before noon, I smoked 3 sticks of cigarettes today.

So far, the problem about family relationship with my siblings have been fixed. I think, everything is finally back to normal, Alhamdulillah.

At 2:01PM, my momma have completed shopping. Went out to smoke at parking lot, now the total is 4 sticks of cigarettes today. Then, I returned to the coffee shop. We got out of Giant Sunway REIT at 2:53PM. I was shocked that it was almost an hour that we spent chilling.

At 3:13PM we reached 99 Speedmart near Pangsapuri Harmoni Putra Heights to buy groceries. I bought a packet of Old Town teh tarik, a small bottle of red kicap manis kipas udang, and a bottle of Vimto cordial drink. We end the grocery shopping at 3:23PM. So, 10 minutes was good.

Then, we went to Kifarah Mart nearby home and bought Mi Laksamana (mi kuning). The short visit ends at 3:39PM as we reached home. In total, we spent almost 4 hours outside equals to a part-time job.

I entered the house, hang my cap, change clothes, pee in restroom/toilet/WC, make Vimto drink, and at 3:50PM I chill at the bench beside the house entrance. I enjoyed my drink and ended at 4:16PM, being happy. Total cigarettes smoked today is 6 sticks.

I went in and have the first meal of the day which was suppose to be my breakfast. I ate mihun goreng with paru sambal. Finally my tummy felt satisfied for having a meal today. At 4:31PM, I went outside and sat on a plastic stool. At 4:44PM, I decided to go back in the house and rest at my usual area on a 3 seater classic English sofa. Had homemade mi goreng before 6PM.

My happy weekdays usually look like this. At 7:45PM, I'm going to shower. After shower, I lay down on the sofa and ready to sleep.
