RECOGNIZING RECOGNIZATIONS – BILLY LEARNS- Billy -June 2026

Enjoying people’s praises and the elevation of one’s personal reputation is PURE VANITY.  I am shamefully  guilty in that respect 100%.  However, what  I appreciate most is to learn how people indeed think of my general character- especially from those whom I respect and admire most. Last week I discovered a message in Linkedin which kindly introduced Billy and my personal research project https://friendshipology.net.

At a time when many people are slowing down, our friend and resident drumbeater at TAOC, William (Bill) Lee, continues to do something rather remarkable.
Now in his 90th decade, Billy still writes. He still wonders. He still pays attention.
Through his website, Friendshipology.net, he shares short reflections, observations and poetic musings on friendship, cities, community and what it means to remain fully human in a rapidly changing world.

I learned that this message was sent by Mr. Rohit Sahgal, Principal TAOC Coordinator and his team in Singapore.  They further added in


The people and the mission behind the milestone

 William “Billy” Lee has embodied the civic friendship and lived human connection that prevent the Cultural Age from becoming an abstract proposition.

There I learned that my often simple naïve observations sometimes have unexpected outcomes. Indeed, I think I impressed Rohit and Miko recently when they were discussing Miko’s  Makeup Image  for the Miko’s World videos. They had several really impressive photos of Miko- spritely made up looking like an Hollywood Cartoon Angel. I noticed another photo of Miko with no makeup over her Eyes at all but reflected deep Love and Caring. I strongly urged that they present this Beautiful Authentic Image to the World. It’s so Natural.
