Presentation Title - Live with your Dream
Abstract: We all have a dream for success, but so often the dream ends as just a dream. I did not have any special dream when I was child because my parents did not have the financial capacity to support it. After I broke my mental barrier, I began to set dreams one after another. Sometimes I did not achieve what was originally planned, however I realized it was not the end of a dream, but the start of another. I learned not how to dream, but how to live with my dream. As a person who built a global technology company from a one person shop to a 450 person enterprise in the US, I will share my life experience. Through my presentation, I hope we can tear down barriers and learn how to live with our dreams.
