Heading east, heading west
I was never quite a poet. Can't write for jacksh*t. But heck, since I'm in a new land, I'm plunging myself for new beginnings, new experiences and new opportunities.Just about a week ago, I took a flight eastwards from Singapore to SFO. Now I'm all starting to settle in here at Berkeley. It sure feels different to be back in school. Suddenly no income whatsoever and the weight of responsibility in making full use of this two years at b-school to accelerate my career.
In some ways, I wonder if I made the right decision. The world seems to be moving towards Asia and here I am, throwing myself headlong into the epicentre of current credit crunch on a land they call US of A. Within my lifetime, I'm quite sure I'll see Asia ascend as the region of movers and shakers. Asia will certainly rise to be a region where the world's major consumers and end-markets will thrive. But for now, the knowledge, the expertise, the innovation, the entrepreneurship and yes, even the capital, are here in the US of A.
It is make or break time...
