The NBA is in Taiwan!

Yep, Pacers and Nuggets played their exhibition match in Taipei Arena.

Its amazing how the NBA brought the whole package here. Not just the players, but coaches, refs, dancers, mascots, statistics people, and so on. They even prepared the shot clock, and the wooden floor too.

It wasn’t a fantastic match, considering it was an exhibition game, but the players did play like a proper NBA game. At the end, the “home” team, the Indiana Pacers won, 126 to 104, over the Denver Nuggets.

I didn’t watch it live. Apparently the tickets were sold out three months ago, and sold out in three days.

Oh well, better luck next time.

A Very Cold Week

I am back from Turkey.

It was fun walking under the snow.

Ten below zero in Ankara, under the snow, outside the hotel entrance, I had a quick reflection of my life over the last three years.

Sometimes, coming out of a meeting with some potential customers, whether I was in Bangkok, Hanoi, Manila, Sydney or Istanbul, I would catch my reflection in the elevator doors, in a shirt, and a briefcase in hand. In a blink of a second, I would imagine myself as leader of this industry, shouting out orders, closing the deals, before I remembered who it was that I really wanted myself to be.

People often say, Why Simply Win When You Can Dominate?

I don’t want to just be better than someone, I want to be the best as who I can be.

I am happy to be back in Taipei.
