I once told my daughter that two things are of paramount importance in life: first is “to think clearly.” This means that you need to have a clear self-awareness, understand who you want to be, which can help you live a better life. The second is “to hold on,” to maintain your commitment to the future and to work tirelessly for it.
I had a clear vision of the life I wanted during my high school years, and that vision only strengthened in college. Therefore, when reporters ask me, “President Sun, what do you consider to be your proudest achievement?” my answer is always, “I am proud because the life I lead is exactly what I hoped it would be.”
