We all fall, but not everyone has the courage to climb back up

Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.
Confucius
Born into an entrepreneurial family, I have been heavily influenced by my father. He started as a street vendor selling pastry at a very young age using his old bicycle. He then later started many companies. Most of them failed. However, one company that was a success from the beginning. Using this humble start, he was able to create many other equally successful businesses. My father is always my source of inspiration.I could have followed my father footsteps and joined the family business, but I wanted to create my own path. Yes, I am as stubborn as he is. Using the money that I had saved from my years working in a giant Aerospace company in US, I was able to build a successfully startup. In one year, our revenue was in seven digits. The future was bright and I felt that I could do no wrong.
Several years later, my startup hit many snags, and business slowed down dramatically in a very short period of the time. It was a rather humbling experience. Like Mike Tyson once said "Everyone has a plan, until they got punched in the face". The simple plan was just to survive long enough to last another round.
The good news is that as each round of punishment comes and goes, I am learning more and more. I am determine to get this thing right. Slowly things started to turn around. Not yet out of the woods, but definitely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
Recently I have started a new startup that focus South East Asia market problem. Instead of exporting out the western solution, we are focusing on using local help to come up with a solution that works best for them. I believe in a local solution for a local problem. This conviction has been a total game changer for me and people that I work with.
Most of the time, people already has solutions right in their grasp. They just need someone to listen to them and point it out. I intend to do just about that.
