I think I am somebody who likes to try out many different things and see what they can lead me to; sometimes I fail miserably but I have learned valuable lessons and gained experience. I tried once to buy inexpensive scarves oversea and sell them on Amazon, but it did not turn out well, and I had hundreds of scarves sitting in my garage covered in dust. I learned the lowest price is not always the best strategy but creating value to customers is. I tried to invest in the oversold stocks of troubled companies and wishing the stock prices can rebound, and I also tried to trade in highly volatile options, but they did not turn out well, and I lost thousands of dollars. But I learned a lesson of patience and value investing. 

I want to find areas I am good at and passionate about, and willing to invest time and assets over a long period of time. I also want to create values (the most important aspect), and meanwhile generate returns with proper risk management. I started my businesses in Blacksburg: bringing Junzi Kitchen and Moge Tea to my town. And everything was new and exciting to me: all the meticulous planning, all the deals I negotiated, all the funds I raised, and all the wonderful people I worked with to make Junzi and Moge Tea happen. Looking back I am so happy with the progress I have made, and I look forward towards the future.
