Heptagon Writings

This book is a collection of my writings which previously appeared in various forms and at various times in the local newspapers. The writings are varied in content.




Part I of this book is a consolidation of thirty-one such writings which were published during the period of 2013-2020.

What connects my writings is the societal issue that was on my mind and in which I had some understanding and knowledge. The thread that connects my writings is a theme represented by the topics of Education, Innovation, Work, Immigration, Trade, China and America. These themes shaped the configuration of my writings, each representing a side and gave rise to the seven-sided heptagon.




In Part II I explain this connection. I also add my pragmatic advice to America which now stands at a crossroads. Part II is essentially the newly created material.




When I selected a topic, I researched it, identified an interesting issue, and applied my knowledge and career experience as a teacher, physicist, Intellectual Property lawyer, litigator, and writer to pragmatically offer a solution for the readers to consider. My writings reflect the insights that I have which are relatable to others. They are like stories which needed a listener or a community of readership.




Each of my writings is an amalgamation of my critical analysis, serious contemplation, intellectual legacy and authorship. I intended my writing to be recreational reading. Read them casually. Use the advice I provide in my writings as down-to-earth, if you chose to. Otherwise, read for pure entertainment.
