YOLO (you only live once) I have never been bungee jumping, and adding the extra risk of doing it in China, why not! What started as a normal Sunday afternoon, I went to a late lunch w/ Mark + YunChung and then decided it was such a nice day out to go for a walk...

Those who have spent any time in China have heard the term “Jia You” (means “Add oil” literally, but really means, keep going, don’t give up), and I am sure those Chinese who read the title of this blog post will be saying the same...

I Love Focus! WeiboAgent covered by Tech in Asia!

Posted by Michael Michelini | Aug 30 2012 | Comments (0)
I think the number 1 feedback most friends would give me is if I focused on just 1 thing, I would be able to make that a huge success. I think it was because maybe I didn’t know what I wanted to do. Maybe because I was too “young and inexperienced”...
