We are all told that business is there to make money. Each young person should be proud to say that I am not a job seeker, I am job taker.

Today, he took time to share his experience with Lin Hwai-min, Cloud Gate Dance Theatre founder.

Throughout history, from ancient times till now, there has been no way to avoid the wealth gap. But the insights of Mr. Yunus regarding banking may be able to be able to break through this. And my work regarding valuing a spiritual life leads me to believe many can accomplish this. 

Lin and Yunus agreed that the biggest challenge Taiwan's economy faces is lifting the spirit of entrepreneurship and helping this generation of citizens dare to achieve their dreams.

你們都被告知說,做事業的目的就是賺錢,但每個年輕人都應該要以身為一個創業者自居。
