| Life lessons from GrandpaMy Grandpa was one of the most respected people I know. Everywhere he went, people would admire him, follow him and listen to him. He was wise beyond his years, incredibly smart, and exceptionally successful. He was the CEO of an international pharmaceutical company in Taiwan, a fact I never knew about until I was much older because he never mentioned his career success. He was humble and appreciated everything that was given to him.
My Grandpa helped my parents buy their first house, giving them hundreds of thousands in down payment. My Grandpa helped my dad achieve career success by introducing him to some very influential executives. But most importantly, my Grandpa has guided me throughout my early childhood, making sure I had a clear head with the right mentality.
I remember having lunch with Grandpa when I was young. During our conversation he asked me what the most important things in life were. Hesitantly, I responded with "Grades, Money, and Girls," he laughed and shook his head. He lifted up three fingers and began telling me about his experiences.
"The most important thing in life is your health and well being," he said, "without your health, nothing else matters." He explained how I could only help others if I look after myself first, how the greatest tragedy is losing a loved one and that I should always be mindful of my well being.
"The second most important thing is loving and caring for your friends and family," he said. Life is meaningless without other people. Make sure you always keep your friends close and your family closer. "Happiness cannot be experienced alone."
"The third thing is keeping good grades and focusing on a career," he explained. This mentality is what separates Asians from a lot of Westerners but I believe it is definitely a good mentality to have. I'm sure a part of his ambition and drive was instilled in me at an early age and I hope to keep it up as I grow older.
"One last thing," he said, "do you know what the most important decision in life is?" I think I replied with choosing the right college, or deciding the right career, he shook his head. "The most important decision in your life is deciding who you marry," he said, "your wife will be your best friend and your companion, without her supporting you by your side, you will not be truly happy." And because of those words, and because he was a man fully dedicated to his family, I do believe in love and commitment and finding the right person.
There are so many more memories of my Grandpa that I can't even begin to list them all. He amazed me when he translated my upper level Linear Algebra and Deferential Equation courses into Chinese so my Grandma could understand. He fascinated me when he woke up at 6AM everyday to take a morning walk and buy breakfast for the family. And he surprised me when I discovered that the black car that picked him up from his house everyday was a private chauffeur designated to him because he was a CEO.
He died last year from liver cancer because he had Hepatitis B, a virus that affects many Asians back home. I'm not sure why I'm thinking about him now, I guess when I think about my life and my career, I revert back to the lessons he repeated to me many many times. Lessons I will never forget.
Grandpa, you are missed dearly.

| Come Back T.TI've been on Xanga for a long time. I have seen the rise and fall of numerous popular Xangans. In a way, it's sad, reading someone's blog everyday and then one day just having that person stop writing and quit. Many times, it goes unnoticed, like when petitetokyo recently shut down her site...how many of you realized it? Or when Chinkzilla and Reality_vs_Ideality stopped blogging. I miss reading them, like I've missed many others even before their time. If i'm lucky, I get to keep in touch with a few through other means, but most of the time, they fade and become a distant memory.
So this is me paying my respect to certain bloggers, and asking them nicely to come back and write some more because we miss you =]
-Chinkzilla
-wutuwaitn4
-Reality_vs_Ideality
-PetiteTokyo
-Meunonomo
-myawkwardlife
-LUST_not_LOVE
-Akikokim
I'm sure there's a few I'm forgetting, feel free to add to the list.
