It's because Russians were just so excited. And I guess that also sparked the whole interest about not just looking at food for food. My father was a very interesting man. He would take me out to restaurants. He would sit me down and he would tell me, how much money do you think they make in a month? And he forced me to start calculating out the revenues.

He would start telling me, what do you think is the expenses behind this? And I had to start learning a profit and loss statement just by that very visible conversation itself. And I think that is only just one element. I was very fortunate to tell the audience that I'm a product of my mentors in my life. So the number two and number three mentors were also very successful businessmen.

One was my father's best friend. who was a strategist, and I had opportunities to take car rides with him, and he would actually explain how does he do his strategy, and how do you actually look at expanding a particular business. He started his very own family business doing agri-chemical fertilizers, and he grew it into a public-listed company.

There was a lot of very interesting nuggets of information I got out of it, And I also had another very great mentor. He has passed on now, but someone that I respected a lot was when I was in Malaysia, he was my best friend's father.

And my best friend's father was just the encouraging man who taught me so much about how do you look at rejection, particularly because when you are an entrepreneur, you have to do a lot of sales. He was really encouraging and he told me how do I overcome that rejection, feelings, and to just keep moving on.

I think it's one of the very interesting takeaways that I was very blessed from young to my early 20s that I had this privilege of having very strong mentors in my life who came in and they taught me the entrepreneurial stuff that got my mind thinking and that actually ignited my spirit because they were so passionate about what they did that I caught on to that fire as well.

Yes, I would say that the privilege wasn't really on the resources that I've got, but it's more towards the exposure and the opportunity of finding the right kind-hearted people who were willing. These mentors all had children of their own, but they were so willing to have a conversation with me. They were willing to care for me and they were willing to give me advice.

It sometimes could be specific, it could be general. But I think that what really evolved me to the way I am today and how I actually do a pay it forward by passing that knowledge and the kind of mindsets down to other entrepreneurs.

Yes, I totally say the words resonate with you. And I wanted to actually point out that Mr. Lee Ka Shing, if I remember, did say clearly to advise to people who were looking to upgrade their career. He always says, every month, try to get a meal out with somebody who is more senior, who has a little bit more experience than you or more experience than you are. and go and learn, go and network.

And I feel that is really important. I think you and I are personifying that, what the wisdom of Mr. Lee Ka Shing. And so I'm just actually putting it out there to any of the audience. One of the best things that you can learn today, don't feel embarrassed reaching out to people on LinkedIn and just asking for advice.
