  1. I’m going to share my experience in 2009.
    In 2009, I had done a lot of stupid things. But of course, I don’t regret.
    I kept a mouse at school with my friend secretly. None of the teacher and our parents know about that.
    I fell in love with a man whom I didn’t really know about. And of course, nothing happened at the end. But I learned that how happy it could be to fall in love stupidly and crazily. haha.
    It was four years ago. Time goes fast!! OMG! I love myself, my friends, my family and my life more.

    1. Dear Lee:

      You should cultivate a no lose philosophy as I mentioned in my book.

      You also should thank all the boyfriends you had for your life since all these relationships will make who you are in the future. The key thing is to treat all relationships as a positive one that will enrich your life.

      How to make a positive closure in your relationship is an art and science. Chinese usually are really bad on this. This is what we should learn from the western culture. Only through a closure, we all can move on and become the most intimate friends in the old age.

      I like your mischievous adventure when you were young.

      After all, life is just a memory of bunch of some small things in our life.

      Love,

  2. Dear Ping,
    I just read your book and now I’m doing my ‘homework’. 🙂
    I read the text ” Love is taking risk. Feel the risk and do it anyway.”
    You are the first person who ask me what I think about love and let me think. At first, I believe that there must be a reason to love someone. But then I realize you don’t have to have a reason. When you love someone, you love someone. There’s no reason. It’s just about feelings. That’s why people become irrational when they fall in love. They follow their feelings. No matter how it ends up, it’s beautiful.
    Love makes people passionate, energetic and believe in everything. Love makes you feel secure and stable. At that moment, you really believe that nothing is impossible. You cherish how lucky you are. You believe in everything. You would do everything to love.
    In my opinion, the love between father and daughter gives you the courage to do everything. You’re sure that whatever you do there’s always someone who loves you. You won’t be afraid of failing because your family will always be next to you.
    I think that the most beautiful love is that someone wish you the best sincerely.
    People usually know what is valuable when they lose it. I discover the importance of love when I feel lonely or heartbroken. But if I don’t experience how happy people could be when they fall in love, I won’t feel lonely and discover how important love is. I’m appreciate that I had experienced that. The world is beautiful because of love. People are beautiful because of love. I’m beautiful because of love.
    Love brings happiness and pain. Nevertheless, it is always worth it. 🙂

    1. Dear Lee:

      You are beautiful because you are in love and be loved.

      Thank you for submitting your homework. You are the very few people did this. I am glad that you did this on this blog so more people will be benefit by your homework.

      One thing people did not know until they are mature or wiser that love actually will grow and evolve over time.

      You are the brave one who embraces romantic love with someone who you don’t know that much. I certainly will not do this due to my own shyness and conservativeness.

      When I launched Canlove, I define this company with a tagline: All you need is LOVE. Ming, the one who is in charge of Canlove Nonzero Restaurant defines it as ” Other People Matter “.

      I am in agreement with Ming that, in order to love, we need to broaden out circle of love to include other people. It is a self prophecy because people will always fall in love with someone who are capable to love other people. This is the secret to have a lasting relationship with your love one.

      If you and your love one practice ” Other People Matter “, your love will bond forever.

      Thank you for being my daymaker.

  3. Dear Ping,
    I had the honor of hearing you share about your life and business last Monday. Actually, this wasn’t the first time hearing your speech—I was in an AIESEC conference (APXLDS 2010) three years ago when I was still in high school. You inspired me so much, and since that day I constantly remind myself to be a “day-maker” and hopefully, a “ripple-maker”(this was harder than I thought).
    This time hearing your speech and life/business goals is another great inspiration. Thank you. And what inspires me most is how thoroughly you live out your believe—how differently you measure “success”! People today still think money is a symbol of success, but you chose different. You do what you believe in everyday, and at the end of the day, you know your happy, and I believe that is true success.
    But I was wondering if you’ve ever struggled about your believe? Did you ever hope different (such as make big money and live a luxurious life) just for a second?

    1. Dear Debbie:

      I hope you can see my smiling face now. 🙂

      Of course, I want to make more money so I can fulfill my many dream projects. Money is energy and can power positive results for human development.

      In terms of luxurious life. There is nothing more luxurious than privacy, independence and time I can control. I still live a life that I want to: taking public bus and mass transit, taxi, jogging at Da An Park, no car in Taipei ( I do own a Daihatsu 4 wheel car in Taitung ) and live in a 18 垀 rented house from my mom in Taipei. I could not afford to buy the house I like in Taipei either. I live a pretty much uneventful life, with the exception of the Red Room I am passionate about. Red Room is my monthly therapy so I can connect with my inner child who wants to be creative and live a life with curiosity and love. You will find Red Room is a place where strangers are just friends you have yet met.

      Actually, I need money to buy farm land in Taitung so I can protect farm land from unscrupulous developers or land owners who brutally treat our earth.

      I know I am the privileged few in Taiwan. I am grateful for how I can live the life I choose to. This is why I started Ripplemaker Foundation so I can help people realizing their dream.

      I am so glad that we can reconnect through AIESEC. I always have special feeling about this international focused leadership organization. This is why I accepted the talk to you guys long time ago, who still have dreams and fears of uncertainty.

      Debbie, I am no super man and have all the fear and desire you all have. I just know how to focus and block all the noises from the outside world. I did not watch TV, nor read newspaper so I won’t be sensationalized by headlines or talk shows. I read a lot, mainly English books and magazines or blogs. I have a partner who is the love of my life.
      She keeps me centered and grounded on what I believed.

      You are still very young. I believe you will find your calling and your personal believe system. Please don’t be swayed by all the noises.

      Please come to Red Room on 6/15 with your classmates. A few of them told me they would love to come. Please check http://www.redroom.com.tw and read the rules before you come.

      See you at the Red Room,

      Ping
