My Story

“NEVER NEVER GIVE UP and CASH IS THE KING METHODOLOGY” My philosophy is to bring me today for my education or my career as a business owner.

I started to work for my father since I was 13 and never stop until now so basically I may have a little more working experience than others. When I was in primary school, my IQ was tested and the result was impressive as it was higher than average people. Especially, I was very sensitive to all numbers around me. At times, I didn’t like school much and I was interested in sports. I would have woken up at 4:30 am and swimming for more than 2 hours to get ready for the day. I was interested in Karate and became part of the professional national team for the Karate. After years of training, I won several prizes during my elementary and Jr. high.

Sometimes, I felt schooling is nothing to do with me so I was the eccentric one during my childhood. My father was in the mining and gas business so I was growing up in a very small group of people who already had a lot of fortune around them. Surely, I was attending a very private school with famous politicians’ kids, generals’ kids in Taiwan. 

My family owned a lot of land and property but later, the policy changes which became gov. or Public Park. In Taipei, the DaAn Park was my family’s mining truck parking lot. Sometimes, it was funny when I went back to my hometown. In the early, my family had a tough time due to the economic crash in 1972 when my family was a steel supplier in Taiwan.

 

Most people may think that I grew in a wealthy family but actually not. My father taught me you had to start everything on your own so this was the reason, I started to work at the age of 13 and never stop working but I love my work.

Most up and down economy was impacted by the Macro-economy, changing gov. ,gov. elections and immigration policy.  Most small business owners may not understand the entire theory of you can’t control the outsider but you can control only a micro-economy. Day to day and year to year, interest rates go up the shortage of funding, hiring difficulty,  shortage of work, shortage of investment, and currency exchange. Especially, the world became two regions either Eastern org. or Western Alliance.  Why side you should choose? If you are a business owner, you don’t go by your heart, you may go by who has the cash to pay you.
