"Please tell your children that the world is changing everyday and no one is going to wait for you in the past. When lighter was invented, matches slowly disappeared. When calculator was created, the abacus was to fade away. When the digital camera was designed, the market of negative film no longer existed. When direct market selling/internet-based arises, traditional marketing declines. When smartphones with 4G(wireless internet access) was introduced to the world, you no longer need to turn on computer at home. When WeChat and WhatsApp were developed, traditional text messaging is no longer as popular as before."
He continued,
"Let's not blame 'Who took over whose business'. It's only because people are more adjustable and adaptable to new ieas and changes in the world."
Someone asked,
"What is your secret for success?"
He said,
"Really simple... I am doing(action) while you're only watching. Please remember that the world keeps changing everyday. If you don't change, you'll get left behind. You reap what you sow with your time. If you spend time to drink, you may become an alcoholic. If you spend time to complain, you may become a blamer. If you spend time to beautify yourslef, you may become a pretty girl or a handsome guy. If you spend time to stay healthy, you may enjoy a healthy good life. If you spend time to be picky, you may become a 'mean' person. If you spend time to learn you may gain wisdom. If you spend time with your family, you may foster a warm and loving relationship with your loved ones."
