Q: Tell me about someone famous that you like.

A: Mark Zuckerburg founded FB when he was a college student, which was very impressive. The time I knew him was in sophomore year. At that time I was so fascinated by the startup launchers. At that time, there was a … picture him in a dramatic way. It turns out most of the things in that movie was fake. It kind of brought the adventure to me. I regard this movie and person as the mentor to me in terms of startup and venture capitalism. Amazing thing about Mark is that he’s not only a lucky kid who created a billion-dollar company when he was just in the early twenties, he is also a star in terms of self-improvement and growth. He grow himself from a college student to a sophisticated, self-educated business leader. I don’t admire him because he founded face book, I admire him because he could grow himself into a strong leadership, even though he turns out to be the youngest person in the leadership of FB.
