Sustainability Through Entrepreneurship | Vince Tan | TEDxUniversityofMalaya


all right good morning everybody to be a
lovely history
usually my workshop is about fifty hours
and article 15 minute play now
plenty conjugate you have one any
entrepreneurs and implement internet
opportunity
my name is being stuck and Chris is my
story I started programming at age of
seven I was born in recent event where
my dad is a very strict
and my mom some other place it would
cause so how many of you hear that your
dad is a bad for instance and how many
of you ta of mom is the bad company
circuit how many of you pay your money
that isn’t that reason so but you know I
was I plan to get access to you know
computer image and then from there I
also became a very mischievous kid as
well good then my product perfectly
symmetric pants
this was brilliant was actually because
this magic time I color color color
colors and then use this transparent one
and you go through it it changes to
another people color how many of you
know what about you and what the rest of
you so what happened was that I took
that magic pen bring into the school and
show it off to the kids and my why the
kids are very easily impressed and I
show it off to them they stick a warning
and I say great you can have it for
$0.50 per stick per day and what
happened was that I made attempt to
living it for a week when I’m fine okay
21 2016 7 buddy so I thought I was the
richest kid in the world what happened
was that that money that me let’s go to
the camping and spend on what I love
most which is food and I went to the can
and eat this kind of food where can you
want they put something better like
tommy chicken and stuff like that so my
feedback and she read the target chicken
and externally but then of my business
because what happened was that my mom
found out about it and I didn’t know
then she actually invent it every single
day why spend on what laptop and stuff
like that so if there’s a female version
of James Bond right
she probably in a few but moving forward
as well
if actually what happened was that I saw
the internet a very early age sometime
around each of 12 but back then there
was no internet volition so I created a
stupid pot to treat chemical so I think
all the us get access for free of charge
then eventually of course we directly
from nature or 94 95 and I never looked
back since then so I started my first
official legitimate business which is
about that business keeps a secret from
my father so can you imagine what strain
of dead ahead
alright I was a really equality after
high school and math at the only job I
have attended my life was taken actually
for two years in the immediate so what
happen is this I got the job because
they allowed me to run my business at
the same time which is my exact business
so I was teaching back designed it in a
city I can’t talk from the outside I
have sorted to my students so that was
like a week I’m coming so during that
years as well
Michael Eastern I don’t miss a convinced
if you want to be a good like
the capacitors so I took a Masters of
fun so I went to do it the first day of
the orientation for my masters the hit
of faculty which is the professor to
mental peace attack it’s all students
you can take between one to four subject
per semester so I was thinking hey I
have six subjects to complete if I can
take for subjective semester I can
finish it in a year
so I went to collect it all right I want
to pick up objects and I said you think
well I did say that you can pick up to
40% I still have told you she said
nobody has a full-time job
take that for subject of semester and
has ever passed before my faculty now
that is need to conclusion either one
per faculty is really done – I am really
done so I people deceased
I went into possible semester by the end
of the whole thing I was on track to
become the best student in the history
of faculty this – please in the room so
all this monkey is common behavior with
blood and try to be fun about a task but
if I could be bananas
the scientist will pull up the dump and
try to stop the monkey from getting less
so not bad enough but yes where it gets
interesting
then they start to replace its office
monkey with a new second generation of
kids and this music injection
in that you know what’s going on who
exactly sort of Madonna’s and if we
pulled up by the airport
second lieutenants emoji because why
they don’t want his new friend to get
them so it’s on every time that Amy
please this one possession of you get a
new secretary monkey the same thing
happen they get to define another one is
as well now the most interesting facts
this is not to replace each of the
second-generation monkey so these
detentions are keep going in there don’t
know what’s going on trying to be for
the bananas and whatever was that we are
the for secondary so monkey is the
traditional kita because they were so
optimally so what’s the moral story here
in fact before that how many of you have
such monkeys know like in fact I’m
pretty sure at some point in your life
you will have an expiration we have a
habit three or you even have some kind
of disgust that you want to stop and you
tell your friends that your loved one
then you want to do that internal staff
your talent that is whiskey you’ll feel
you will not succeed
alright but if you actually ask them
right have you planted because that I
intend to run send us on your credit
doesn’t it don’t find thirty confident
and you after that the template from
them funded and by the end of the whole
field right but none of them ever got
the business that you wanted to run
again they can tell you that it is risky
all right so the thing is this
eventually of course after my lecture in
life I might want to continue to do what
I love using all this online stuff and I
realized that I could spend a certain to
develop because that can also thinking
any sight you’ll get ranked on the
search engine that has taught them so
how I’m spending this particular crazy I
create a 5 million pages of rubbish I
have 25,000 domain names really good
manual and in fact travels in and
probably one of the very few Asia that
has crashed the search engine as well
for a couple of minutes because after
they came up the instructions are in the
come up with the no peace in Syria there
was obstruction in the survey’s all my
sex was bad at the net so am i proud of
it no I should have triple package but
right but what happened was this I meant
for the top side to the price tag so
from typing a search engine I became you
know well to the point that you can take
this for what your son here 34 means
they found me and then it got me to
speak around the world to teach about
online marketing I was doing that for
two and a half years and we can give a
country I realized I think we’re eating
a lot eventually again my parents which
are very agency look you get and taking
what it’s time for you to settle down
have a kid and get married
[Music]
so my life forever like all my friends
that you didn’t want me about this and I
asked you to have a kid not kids so so I
and then because of that I sent us an
atomic relation instead it was packed
digital you see we have to do so when we
create websites and Facebook and stuff
like that so I started that because I
wanted to help businesses to grow
digitally information and how does it
use my passion to content but what
started as a passionate we came a little
too serious because we grow very quickly
from 0 to 500 decline in just four years
so we take the fastest Agito agency
growing energy information and the same
time I started any powers well which is
an online learning platform because I
couldn’t travel that much anymore and I
wanted in pursuit generates so therefore
I thought by setting up a Collider that
I could help everyone out there today so
the thing is they as I do all this right
I never realized that our in annex a
house and in Tripoli on expiration but
as I grew I really liked that I wasn’t
it just I was just doing about I mean I
want to just about any back housing
a business of impacting lives for
example so we just to do it
like that any website without any client
to design we will download their
business what that is is that our client
will need to hire more people with
business and what that means is
something else to do
I will cancel every single so that we
draw for our clients we are helping to
create opportunities and that’s how we
think all right for any powers well
every single process that’s all online
the same part will be donated to puppy
school and migrate so the thing is this
keeping and money so my point is this
along the way as well opportunities
provided when there’s multi period
entropolis
a problem solvers and you know they now
what time step forward is down why they
can be big ones and Tenace poor whites
and that defines the kind of problem
that if I stop if you look at photos how
they drop you know the SME line to be so
effective and broadcast to the world or
even General Electric Thomas Edison has
brought electricity and bucks to the
world now know why is extremely
important because it is fine
right about this for a second is that
your wife if it’s all about just doing a
family it’s no why
what’s the dream you would tell me that
oh I used to make a little more money so
that I can bring my family for money for
holiday I can buy a better phone for my
kids
these are all good no but if your plan
is only about you and your loved one
then I’m gonna tell you right now that
University Park if you just enough for
you and your family because that is what
you focus on
but if you want to taste that focusing
and that is why to try to help millions
of people updated world I can assure you
you will get more than what you need
because you need that extra to help you
out there right if your wife is just
about you and family then I’ll tell you
right now they are doing a very big
service to yourself because you came to
discuss you on it and then you eat
you can organize this right so of the
way and takes off problem they also make
tons of money as well now is that right
well I can tell you that absolutely
nothing wrong with making money
in fact if interpreters soft product and
public money from it they are doing they
are actually very cutie of this sin
because they are not taking the a
problem-solving effort sustainable money
is not the root of all evil
no money is the root of all evil all
right so the thing is if you think
yourself like how even mask has you know
changed the way space of the exploration
goes over the last 15 years
yes he came up with an object and now he
to be able to make reusable cancer and
from death he has to be fixed and
cheaper he’ll talk about Mars
exploration as well so not only a
turbulence problem push too many people
in nine percent of Exodus and companies
around the world actually change your
funnel that extra money to charity and
stuff in there
eg 9 percent not visible across again
there are sister Kids Foundation if you
recognize me you get the whole economic
yourself his condition was that the pipe
you and we need nuggets because they
wanted to say a lot to this like okay
because every day thousands of children
with autism diet so if you want to see
that they won’t do that so everything
that is the foundation
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
because there’s no issue that’s too
small
there’s no impact we are born with a
single dance from the alright and this
life which is all of us is going to time
and therefore every second that you
spend you can think about how we can
spend our life to make the most impact
possible right the only way to predict a
future is
and I’d like to leave you in the last
piece of what you hope you share with
your friends do not ever done with your
trees to match your led cupcake your
piece next to me thank you very much
[Applause]
