2012

1. Be Patient.
Working in China is hard. Every three steps forward is two steps back. Learn to have the patience to nurture. Don't cut corners, they bite back. Focus on the bigger picture.

2. Be Demanding yet Flexible.
Focus on quality and culture. Companies with momentum have strong cultures. Make yours with purpose.

3. Build a machine.
Great machines are well geared, well lubed, and stable. You know it's still continuing to hum along during your sleep, during your dreams, and during a storm. Manage to not have to manage.
