I just came back from San Francisco and couldn't believe that I met with Fergus, my old dear friend in uni! The past few years was like a fast forward movie for everyone and we have lost contact. Fergus is always the smartest person I know. And now he has moved much further - after completed his mba, he met many many talented and passionate People. he quitted his high flyer job in McKinsey and decided to start his start up company in personalised drugs.
He also showed me many interesting things there. What an innovative hub and everyone seems so spontaneously and driven!
He gave me lots of inspirations and positive energy. His action really touches me as I know it took a lot of sacrifice and courage. His goal is to do something with social impact. Looking at him makes me feel ashamed as I never imagine myself going to start something of my own, live 13 hour flight away from family and just by myself. And for me, the question about passion always bother me as I never really have a passion. The conversation with him brought back many precious memory of our uni time.
- to look back, all people around you are smart but only very few have a big mind. Cultivate a bigger world.
- If I can go back, I don't want to stick to a man and date for so many years. My time shall be better spent meeting new people and know more about this world
- believe in yourself and do things you have passion
- what are your biggest achievements and what matters most to you?
- value your speciality and no one is unique in some way. Respect your qualities.
- always not too late to start doing something
