IDU yr end 2020 Update + Highlights since 2004 till 2020 + Credits of the Idu Project published back in 2010

As yr 2020 draws to a close, we are providing an update on
what articles to expect moving forward, what our goals will be, and also
using the opportunity here to present the  ALL ARTICLE Index
for all readers to access all our articles  written since yr 2011 -
over 80 of them published since. 

Our focus remains Education and Self Help, though we did publish a myriad
of other articles since 2011, on a host of other social issues such as
Health, Traffic Safety, Homelessness, Economy,  Future of Work, Non-Profit Effectiveness.

This year 2020 alone, we published about a  hectic 20 articles, almost all unique and impactful.

Our focus remains Education and Self Help.
If perfection in society equates to getting evolved, then we think we could facilitate that
rapidly through Simplification of Self help methods. 

We have been heavy on the Simplification
bandwagon since 2013, and will remain so. 
Given enough time, we would like to expand the Simplification effort
into ALL  areas of Self Help ( on all aspects of good Morals and achieving  Success )

Self Help is heavy on  Managing Emotions.
Moving beyond yr 2020,
a comprehensive Emotion Matrix (Tree or Table
to show what the Primary and Secondary emotions are and how they relate to each other)
and Simplification methods on such will help manage/balance
all primary and secondary emotions.

Hence hopefully, even the most complex/hybrid or  extreme/outliers cases
could be effectively dissected and diagnosed  in the most simplistic form,
with simple solution readily at hand.

And on the ground level, we will continue to focus on Simplification Methods
of the Natural, Non Assuming, Non forceful ways ( perhaps with a dose of humor)
of mentoring among friends and family(or even strangers!).
This will help "Pass it forward" quickly.


The Index to all our blogs  - over 80 of them- is  here:

And once again, we thank everyone  profusely who contributed
to all the above all these years,
especially those whose names are not apparent on our websites,
for you know who you are.

Since 2004, IDU has produced many interesting projects, besides the 80 somewhat articles on IDUBLOG on Blogger and its flagship website iduidu.ning.com that published the site's key beliefs in   "6 Steps to Happiness"  in both english and chinese.

Some of the highlights are :   

Valentine Day Song in 2007 on youtube:   THE REAL V-DAY - EMILIO & JIN


The Idu Show - Puppet!  =  go to iduidu.ning.com


The Idu Discover Show -  go to iduidu.ning.com


and a charity fundraising event:  PR articles  :




Some work in progress projects includes: 

 12 sitcom Idu shows with all 12 scripts ready to film, 
one Idu movie with script all ready, 
one idu animal fiction book "the cat that can type",
one idu science fiction book "Systems".



And as Kiva celebrates their 16th year of helping people around the world get micro-loans for their livelihood and entrepreneurship, we are happy 

to join in that celebration as the Idu Group is currently ranked 118th in amount of loans provided on Kiva as of this post on December 2020-having participated actively since 2009, and privileged back then to have met and consulted their early founders on various issues. We certainly hope for more rapid, positive evolutions in that industry, to the point where not just loans are given out, but mentoring/education/solution structuring/startup incubations/networking, and eventually to Coworking/Coliving based on industry/passion/cause, in every village or city.

Hopefully, we will get to the point where  Everyone being able to not just

"help themselves"
but also super enough to

"help others help themselves" 

which is the geometric Community solution

of "passing it forward"

towards solving everything.

For those curious,  Idu original first slogan back in 2005 was actually

"helping people help themselves", which was also our mission back then.

This initial 6 mth project started in early 2007 evolved into a 3 yr project for many reasons. Main reason being revising it numerous times

to focus on Effectiveness on the average busy ADD audience.who hates reading

AND also

Developing a STRICT blue print where the public can reference the issues needed to create

A Perfect World

Of peace, harmony and true happiness.

 

This first try will be considered still in beta  mode and no doubt welcomes public opinion
