Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
The land of unicorns! While Silicon Valley is commonly referred to as the birthplace of the technological civilisation, it has also witnessed countless stories of success and failure. I am drawn to this vibrant, bustling metropolis where I can experience the ambition, capability and hubris that drives these fascinating stories. There is a saying from the Three Kingdoms: 某事在人，成事在天. In English, it means fate will ultimately determine success or failure. Silicon Valley is a place where countless founders work everyday to defy fate, and I have much to learn from them.
