I didn't have time to attend my 20th year Harvard Reunion earlier this month in Boston, but it reminded me of how fast time flies. . It only seems like yesterday that I was in my 20s when I entered Harvard to get my MBA. Back then, I owned a single suitcase with all of my life's belongings. I was so ashamed about my parents' poverty that I kept it a secret at Harvard. Eating one meal a day is not something you rush to tell people, especially at Harvard. I survived on a few dollars a day, counting to the exact penny on a daily spreadsheet. I could not even afford the subway or bus. And the crazy shit is that my mom ended up living in my tiny dorm room in my 2nd year because she had nowhere else to live. . As a child, I didn't grow up poor. In fact, I grew up in a loving home with everything I needed, and more. Life only changed when my parents went bankrupt, and literally lost everything, including their home. Poverty tore my family apart. And my father eventually abandoned the family. . One thing that I can tell you is that money has nothing to do with happiness. Those days at Harvard were some of the best of my life. There was an innocence and purity about those days. I was just a kid chasing his dreams. I had an unquenchable fire in my belly to bring my family out of poverty, to do something with my life, to make my mark in this world. . If you are going through a tough time in your life, my advice is to embrace everything as a wonderful opportunity. It is your time to shine. Work hard and drive through it. Cherish the lessons. Count your blessings. Never give up. Always remember that the greatest stories in human history are those that involve immense suffering and the triumphant overcoming of it. . Adversity is the mother of greatness. You are more powerful than you know. You see, a clay pot sitting idly in the sun will always be just a clay pot. It is only through the heat and fire of the furnace does a clay pot turn into beautiful porcelain. . We are all just claypots ready to turn into beautiful porcelain. Embrace the fire. .

A mother's love knows no bounds. When we had nothing, my mom lived with me in my tiny dorm room at Harvard during my 2nd year. And when I moved to Silicon Valley after graduation, we slept on the office floor in sleeping bags so I could chase a crazy dream and launch my 1st startup. We survived on $1.50 frozen microwave meals. During those times, my mom and I would often talk about our dreams. One of her biggest dreams in life was to live in New York City. Even though it seemed impossible at the time, I promised my mom that I would buy her a place one day in the Big Apple.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Years later, when I first made some money, I spent it all on a dream condominium in the heart of New York City as a surprise gift for my mom. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon, and I pushed open the door to her new home to give her a tour. She was speechless before breaking down in tears. My mom finally had a sense of inner peace after struggling for so many years without a home to call her own. Our family suffered through a lot after my father had abandoned us many years earlier. My eyes watered up as I hugged my mom tightly, thanking her for her unconditional love, support, and belief.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I still count that day as one of the happiest moments of my life. We don't make a life by what we earn. We make a life by what we give. Life might be full of suffering and tragedy, but it is also full of beauty and love. #gratitude⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Comment below if you think moms are the best too!

I keep this photo in my office as a reminder to give 1000% of myself to each and every day. I remember this post-fight interview like it was yesterday even though it was many years ago in Thailand. I can count on one hand the number of times that I cried in life. I never cry. However, I cried like a baby after I went back to the locker room that night. I also cried myself to sleep. And I cried the next day too. You see, the worst kind of loss is the one where you lose to yourself. As a fighter, I performed well below my abilities because I had succumbed to my fears, doubts, and insecurities that night. I lost to myself. I can accept losing to a better man, but I cannot accept losing to myself.⁣ ⁣ In life, we are either "all-in" or we are nothing. Greatness lives in all of us, but we cannot unleash it with one foot in and one foot out. Either we are alive with passion, or we are not. Either we listen to what it is that ignites our souls, or we do not. Either we conquer our fears, doubts, and insecurities, or we do not. You can fool the world, but you can never fool yourself. Deep down inside all of us, we know if we are giving it our all or not. We know if we are doing everything to unleash our potential in life or not. We know if we are truly giving ourselves to our dreams or not. It doesn't matter what other people think or say about us. It only matters what we think about ourselves.⁣ ⁣ At the end of the day, the greatest achievement in life is to outperform yourself.⁣ ⁣ Comment below if you agree and tag someone who needs to hear this message!

Grit is everything. The person who is willing to endure the most suffering for his/her dreams is the one who is most likely to achieve them. It does not matter what it is, or what the goals are. The difference between success and failure in life is a very, very, very thin line. No matter who you are, life will eventually knock you down hard at some point and make you question everything. What you do in those moments will dictate the trajectory of your life. It is always good to remember that winners never quit, and quitters never win. Never give up on the people and things that you love, especially your dreams. If we are unwilling to fight through the worst days of our lives, then we do not deserve the best days of our lives.⁣ ⁣ I know everyone is suffering around the world right now, but let us remember that we are all fighting together. No one is alone. In many ways, this tragic experience is teaching us yet again that humanity is ONE. We all love, laugh, cry, and dream. Let us always be kind, empathetic, and compassionate to each other, but even more so in these times. Let the power of the beautiful human spirit conquer all! #WeAreONE⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Comment below if you agree!
