all right thank you very much ok now

let’s go foo yung hee obvious well first

of all my name is dawn she mark

introduce me I’m a tech guy a business

person but then again I want her forget

held in a surprise so I came out as a

oh my gosh no other way is always good

to think this isn’t it um well first of

all I want to give a big shout out to

the ivy sh t you go watson people I

party today I mean truly impressed good

job one more time look at you today

actually I mean I’m quarter past you

know I just speechless because when i

first got invitation from jenny and

maddy and i was thinking oh my god you

know i’m not sure they do this because

normally i give speech to you know

people who want to start a company

entrepreneurs people who trying to

figure out how to farm raising for the

company people want to have advice on

the dimension how to build a company and

so on so forth so it’s really and I’m

not under level which I feel very

comfortable I can talk for all day on

that but when it comes to addressing you

you know I’m thinking oh my

talking about and I’m thinking okay um

just put them talking to my kids right

which actually sees dr. i’m going to do

because I do have a boy and a girl who

apparently grow up now but then again

what I can share with you today under

the main thing which beyond obvious that

i create another one kind of subtitle is

be all you can be and what does that

mean so i’m gonna pretty much kind of

talk to you just like sit down and talk

to my name Chuck children um Henry like

a friend and how can we exchange ideas

how can I be of help uh be an

inspiration um I give you some sort of

guidance if you wish and even if not

it’s ok because you can take away with a

different perspective from the story i’m

going to share with you and what i’m

going to do is pretty much share with

you my upbringing which is very

traditional i grew up i was born raised

in taiwan many many years ago by the way

and so this is traditional family and

then the traditional family will want to

be a good son or daughter want to

perform well in school right

academically want to you know be

respectful for our teachers we’ve made

friends with our other fellow students

and hopefully we get a you know a better

college and they eventually get a good

job and that’s good that’s all good but

in addition to that you know what else

were you thinking be thinking about me

I’m more like a dark horse in the family

which i’m on till they are not good

academically and not really interested

in that either for a practical man

one thing is that i know it is for

myself I got easily attracted to think

that of interest to me in outside school

working and I can share to do and of

course I guess preschool right let’s 40

years old a five it’s like my father who

is the captain of oil tanker you know so

Google he travel a lot right I’ll not

travel he’s on the ocean a lot but

because of that he was able to bring

home you know certain gadgets so at that

time lives something called a record

player the vinyl record player how many

of you know what that is I have seen 1

oh yeah I’m impressed now you’re kidding

me right yep seeing like a player that’s

great it’s coming back by the way

bindings come back but it has all we had

so I go have mp3 I don’t have you no CD

player right Bailey so at home four or

five years old and I was supposed to go

to frisco but i wasn’t yet so my mom and

I’m a younger in my family back away so

my sister brother they’re all in school

and Norman my mom will go to the market

in to bring new home right fuck to pay

for lunch so wrong I can’t eleven

o’clock I’m all alone home and back

there there’s no said no such need a

babysitter battling so I was all along

home I’m really frightened by him you

know he’s on another by myself so the

fear is so severe I need to figure a way

out to kind of release my fear so what

and that happened was that I put on the

record I my father ball would you to see

this angelic sound from Vienna Boys

Choir right that’s the only record by

I love listening to so every day my mom

went to the supermarket us woman used to

market I put on America listen to it

over and over and over again and

immediate put it on I was in a different

world my finger you know disappear right

so it’s a very you know long-lasting and

also very deep moment in my life which I

remember vividly to this day by the way

this is half century ago rising talent

so that kind of experience really if I

kind of dig in a bit bad they really

have impact on me in a really profound

way because not really helped me in

establishing be the music-appreciation

music you know in the earliest over here

early early stage of my life so not only

I listened to it but I just are seeing

along with it even though I no idea what

they’re singing right but just a sound

of it the tone the the melody you know

the the five the spiritual aspect of it

it’s just very very um have impact on me

and I kind of helped me develop over the

year into a music lover musician um and

also helped me to become very important

piece of my life of the years anyways

after that I enter hit around each eight

of nine years old I pick a piano so I

stopped playing yeah no I’m to try

valving and so I’m very physical you

know because thought the foundation i

had from this in preschool year so that

that to me is really a you know a very

key to the rest of my hobby for say that

i think over years because in addition

of music you know grinding the school we

also start to give you PE right so i was

writing to basketball um what else you

know soccer baseball you know it is but

then taiwan the youth baseball team is

war number one

right but many many years so rude into

baseball too and also Marcia wat Bruce

Lee was the man at that time the heavy

one being Bruce Lee mean couldn’t write

so those had a role model I had during

that time we’d have impact on me in

terms of the interest i’m trying to

pursue but anyway but part of that

process one thing i think i want to

share with you which I don’t want to

take it the wrong way as I said you can

take whatever story i’m sharing with you

and then you know trying to digest in

sink in why do you realize this this i

made like to thank a basketball or

baseball or the other PE have activities

but i keep the conclusion i will never

be able to do that professionally as my

career yeah Brewer early life whereas

music is very different story so while

i’m exploring my inner potential if you

wish outside of the academic world and i

also start to analyze or based upon the

the sequence of events or incidents but

I kind of you know came to conclusion of

certain thing for example basketball I

practiced on three or four hours every

day when I was really young right and I

can shoot my nine percent and three

corners on that and I said what I could

do that yeah I can be a professional

basketball player but guess what

whenever he came to match right

competition part of it I just miss it I

was headed for him it’s so hot could not

take the handle that pressure and I just

kind of Satan oh yeah I must not be

practicing hard enough you know I’d

attracted more more MORE but guess what

every time go back on the on the match

you know I just missed it you know and I

said it to these days you don’t know why

anyway I try I try

and then came to conclusion so you know

what that that’s it that’s mad at me and

Cynthia happen you know I was practicing

kung foo right martial art is really

really popular so you know I was really

good I can hype it and you’re spinning

and all that when I was younger before

so also several incident took place that

I came to conclusion I’m not gonna be

Bruce Lee what can that be very simple

because again you get into this hand of

tournament things right and one of my

cuddy is cool right he’s also we ought

to practice together so not only

Marshall are like I couldn’t over to

practice by hypoxia so thai boxing you

have to hit OK at same time right so

because nowadays very popular but

bicameral I now put into it so we’re

practicing boxing and kicking but

whenever I matchup against my friend I

always lose and they were funny because

I just like just whenever I think I’m

going to get him now who’s the phone you

have become right is it going there’s no

way got hit me again but he communicate

right and then finally a finger against

I said it’s not like lack of practice I

am really compulsive with come to

practicing you know you do the squatting

you think the foundation for like hours

and kicking and why not then I realized

one thing is it’s just naturally faster

than I am right he’s just as fast as

does the responsive tongue he has and he

can just boom he hit you before I know

you know and it’s a natural thing in my

opinion it’s gifted your is gifted it is

on that that’s bad right so and as I say

that’s the conclusion I came to yeah not

gonna be Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan

you know I’m just automatic and said the

same thing when come baseball so over

the years I took on certain things and

of course I started self paralyzing you

know what might be of interest to me or

I might not be but overall today’s i’m

sharing with you this is kind of very

simple story that there i think that to

me don’t train of thought you might want

to take away what is you do want to be

all you can be your explore your

interest and trying to you know immerse

yourself with things that get your

attention like you feel passionate about

a hard and then the work toward that

whatever the go that is right but it’s

in time you know and if step aside and

look at that and say you know this is

good this is all good but the life is

really unpredictable by the way as we

all know it so in the lyrics it’s just

kind of made up for this event you know

beyond it can be and beyond the obvious

then bunch of young obvious you want to

you know see what’s out there you know

this there’s more you want to see right

and but when you in the process of the

oil can be in my set you free the thing

that you investors up into is going to

come to you in the future in your life

so so in summary you know my

professional career is a businessperson

right which is great you know I did

quite well but it’s in time never keep

on my music I should also pick up some

allocation a long way like photography

videography videographer experts for

example so all those things I give you

excitement that make you feel passionate

they want to be able to explore your

potential I will definitely say go for

that you know and the same time keep a

perspective for your life and do

whatever that you know excites you and

then

be able to become a winner to the end of

the day thank you very much
