Storm-Forged Will as Career Capital

“This event, like a convex lens, focused on the beauty and ugliness of human nature and highlighted the powerful force of “following the heart’s choice.” When all the storms passed, what remained was a stronger life and a more determined will. Looking back on this time, I feel it shines like gold because it gave me a more precious experience in life: facing the lows of life, how to choose – whether to wallow in sadness or rise against the tide? These experiences were all used in my subsequent four years at Google China.”

“In the past, I liked “make a difference in the world because of you.” Now, that is still my life goal. However, I care more about whether, besides having a grand ideal, I make everyone I meet happy. Do I enjoy every accidental encounter, and do I enjoy every moment of connection with fate? Steve Jobs once said, “Remembering that you are going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.” This phrase has become my motto, reminding me every day to see clearly what is important in life. All glory and pride, embarrassment and fear will vanish before death, leaving only what truly matters—those most beautiful experiences in life.”
