Life is fragile. I make an impact on the world to prove that I have lived.
My mother had a serious car accident when I was young. It was the first time that I learned life could be fragile and short. I asked myself what I could do to prove that I had been to this world. The subsequent self-reflection affected my school and career choice.
I chose to study engineering in college because I clearly perceived engineering’s tangible impact on the world since I was young. After graduation, I joined a top global engineering consulting firm on the Fortune 200 list, where I gained project management experience and industry expertise.
If only one word is allowed to describe me, then it would be futurist.
Outside of work, I am a two-fold futurist. On one hand, I am an astrologer. (No, astrology is not like what you think. Read more in my other blog dedicated to astrology.) Unlike most other astrology practitioners following psychotherapy approaches, I applied mathematical and statistical methods to Primary Direction, the most renowned technique to predict the future, testing various parameters for this technique.
On the other hand, I am a tech fanatic. I studied data science on Coursera as early as in 2015. A short experience in the blockchain made me realize that I was thrilled to work at the intersection of technology and business. Now I aspire to leverage my skills to become a venture capitalist accelerating the future. After all, accelerating the arrival of the future has a great impact on the world.
I have a strong exploratory drive. I am curious about both the physical world and the spiritual world.
I like to travel and have been to many countries. In order to explore more places, I often plan my trip to be particularly full. For example, on my North America trip, I visited 11 big cities and 2 national parks in just 30 days.
As I matured, I found that I was also curious about the world of knowledge. I read a wide range of topics, such as science, history, economics, and psychology. I observe that phenomena across fields can show similar patterns and have similar underlying laws. For example, I noticed that the distribution of capital and talent in geography is very similar to the distribution of surface electric charges on a conductor. Therefore, I quite agree with Charlie Munger’s interdisciplinary approach to understanding this world.
