Thank you for all of the posts and more importantly, the wonderful insights showed in your blogs. I truly enjoyed reading your blog, and I am always one of the most loyal readers, and one of the most passionate evangelists for your blog!

Re: Your relationship with your parents have a lot to do with your career success

Thanks a lot for this thought-provoking post. I fully agree that it is better to be proactive and take actions for any problem with parents. Or could I say like this way: actually I believe a large part of human's personality has root relation with the one's family background such as parents' background, how they educate the child etc., and the career success has much with one's personality (or so-called leadership characteristics in business schools :-), so in this sense I also think the relationship with the parents really have a lot to do with the career success.

Fortunately I was born with very open-minded parents. They are very strict for the fundamental human value systems such as honesty, integrity, loyalty etc., but they are quite lenient in every life detail. They never do scrutiny, they always respect my own decisions, listen to me and discuss with me like my good friends. Actually even today I still think my parents are the two best friends of mine. I guess the education I received from my parents is really the reason for my critical thinking pattern and good people skills. I think I am lucky, and always feel gratitude to them.

Not only just outsourcing partners, but also different units within the same global company for the same project/product. Many of my friends in China (and also myself) often have to work till very late in evening, or get up very early in morning to catch up conference calls with U.S. or Europe colleagues, and it happens almost every a few days or even every day.

I appreciate your thoughts. We should always remember there are someone in another part of the earth working so hard to support your business.
