So if you look at the whole thing, my father has been a mentor, but he has also been a very difficult traditional Asian man, Asian patriarch with an iron fist.

And one thing I realized because of my self-development, because of even doing extra self-enrichment courses by taking a CAIA and a CFA at the same time, I found myself becoming more useful and to the point that when he now talks to me about the side businesses that he's doing, He's asking me as his advisor and no longer as the son where he has, he looks down on.

Because that is actually very typical of Asian generation kind of businesses, families. You will see that parents will naturally always think that they are naturally more experienced, they're smarter. But I've seen this radical change in my father and I realised that if I didn't go out on my own, worked on my own, he would have never given me that respect.

And I went back to my friend, my high school friend, I told him about it and he told me, I think you truly found what you were looking for, which is endorsement from your own father. And I think that is really a lot of next-gen. Sometimes where people think that they have done a lot, but they always crave for the approval of their parents. And so I think I went through that.

I was craving for the approval of my father, and he doesn't say it. He's never expressed it. But the point that really comes to me and asks me for my network, for my advice, I know that there has been a significant change of acceptance and the way he perceives me.

Thank you for really succinctly summarizing that in just a short sentence. Really, it does speak into my life. So really thank you, Vince, for saying that. It's been 26 years in the making. So I still believe that I'm evolving. I'm still learning more in terms of understanding my identity. And if I might put it, enjoying the journey as I go along.

I think that a lot of, I know it's a bit cliche, it's about enjoying the journey, not the end goal. It's just about enjoying the journey and I think for me, that is what I am relishing at this moment. I wouldn't say that life is a bit of roses. While I may have described everything, it sounds like it was really sweet.

There were a lot of massive challenges and running your own business, running other startups, just helping other startups run businesses, there are very high chances of failure. And I think that is something that I've learned to adapt. And I would have been very different if I just worked for my father, where I don't really see, it's a very kind of sheltered way of running a business.

I guess for me, it's really about passing my values rather than being so rigid about my processes. So when I say about values, it's that I truly believe in positive impact. I believe that we're not here on this earth just to enjoy extravagant lifestyles. I wouldn't say I have an extravagant lifestyle, but I'm just saying that While we can have that, I feel that most important is that
