Today, Julie and I had lunch with a group of friends at One Chinese Cuisine. Twelve of us sat around a big table, enjoying round after round of dim sum.
At the end, the bill came to C$240—about C$20 each. Good food, good value, and even better company.
But the most valuable part of the lunch had nothing to do with the food.
During our conversation, my friend D mentioned that he had been reading my blog. He brought up a specific post—my Hillcrest Mall story—and said:
“While reading it, I felt like I was walking there, enjoying the window shopping.”
That one sentence stopped me.
Because just recently, I had been looking at my Google Analytics:
- page views
- traffic sources
- user counts
All useful. All interesting.
But none of those numbers told me this:
👉 that a reader felt immersed in the experience
This is something analytics cannot measure.
It was a powerful reminder:
Data shows you what is happening.
People tell you why it matters.
D also said he would forward my blog to his brother. That’s how real growth begins—not just clicks, but genuine connection and word of mouth.
What I Learned
As I continue building ai123.ca and Grandpa Journey, this experience clarified something important:
- Don’t rely only on numbers
Analytics is a tool, not the goal. - Write for experience, not just information
If readers can “see and feel” your story, they will remember it. - Real feedback is rare—and valuable
When someone tells you how your writing made them feel, pay attention. - AI can help you write—but connection is human
AI helps us structure, polish, and refine.
But the heart of the story still comes from real life.
Today’s lesson didn’t come from a dashboard.
It came from a lunch table.
And I will take that insight with me as I continue this journey with AI and writing.

一顿点心午餐，带给我的写作启发（不只是数据分析）
今天，我和 Julie 跟一群朋友到 One Chinese Cuisine 一起吃午餐。12个人围坐一大桌，一笼接一笼的点心不断上桌。
虾饺、烧卖、叉烧包……桌面很快就摆满了。大家边吃边聊，气氛轻松又热闹。
最后结账是 C$240，已经包含税和小费，平均每人 C$20。以这样的食物和这样的相聚来说，真的很值得。
不过，这顿饭最让我记住的，并不是点心本身。
聊天中，朋友 D 提到他一直有在看我的博客。他特别说到我写的那篇关于 Hillcrest Mall 的文章，然后他说了一句让我印象很深的话：
「我在看的时候，感觉好像自己也在那边走、在逛街一样。」
那一刻，我真的停了一下。
因为就在不久前，我还在看 Google Analytics 的数据：
- 浏览量
- 流量来源
- 访客人数
这些数据都很有用，也很有意思。
但这些数字，从来没有告诉我一件事：
👉 原来读者真的“走进了我的文章”。
这正是数据无法衡量的部分。
这件小事，让我有一个很清晰的体会：
数据告诉你“发生了什么”，
人，才会告诉你“为什么重要”。
D 还说，他会把我的博客转发。
这让我意识到，真正的成长，并不只是点击量，而是人与人之间的连接与分享。
我今天的几点体会
在经营 ai123.ca 和 Grandpa Journey 的过程中，这顿午餐给了我一些很实际的提醒：
1. 不要只看数据
数据是工具，但不是最终目标。
2. 写出“感觉”，而不只是“内容”
如果读者能看见画面、感受到当下，他们就会记住你的文章。
3. 真实反馈非常珍贵
当有人告诉你，他的感受是什么，那比任何数字都更有价值。
4. AI 可以帮助写作，但连接来自人心
AI 可以帮我们整理、润饰、加快写作过程，
但故事的温度，仍然来自真实的生活。
今天的收获，不是在电脑前看到的。
而是在一张热闹的餐桌上体会到的。
这也是我在 AI 写作这条路上，会继续带着走下去的一个重要提醒。
