There was an old saying in China: “The Great Way is simple, all methods stem from one source” (大道至簡，萬法同源). A Taoist sage once shared this wisdom with a scholar burdened by his studies. As they sat under a tree, the sage pointed to it and said, “Just as the tree grows naturally, without effort, so does true wisdom.” He explained that while there are countless paths and teachings, they all lead back to the same simple truth, reminding the scholar that the deepest understanding lies in simplicity.

I truly believe in this principle. Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of working on some of the most challenging and complex tasks I’ve ever faced. Each one has shifted my perspective on life and changed the way I think. My goal now is to transform each of these challenges into stories, much like Mencius did with his teachings. I hope these stories will serve as lasting reminders of the lessons I’ve learned.
