Receiving the second invitation from YPO for the annual gathering, it's on Thursday, when seeing my name appearing on the guest list and associate with those big shot and tycoons, a wire feeling burst out , am I qualified to sit together with them ? how they see me ? then I develop a self-relief mentality , be what I am, cause I may never be them, be my guard to win respect, cause they don't equip with what I have, it ease my tension, I must present myself as nature as possible, as "ME ' as possible.
