As I cap my #APEC2015 memories, I'm reminded of my biggest dreams and why I should not be afraid of who I can be... It also reminds of Yellow, a caterpillar who chose to learn how to fly.
"Yellow decided to risk for a butterfly. For courage she hung right beside the other cocoon and began to spin her own. 'Imagine, I didn't even know I could do this. That's some encouragement that I'm on the right track. If I have the stuff inside me to make cocoons—maybe the stuff of butterflies is there too."
Looking back at my decisions and choices, I realized it always boil down to the key lessons I embraced from #HopeForTheFlowers, a book I first read when when I was a freshman which became one of my favorite since then. It has also a big influence on why I chose not to "climb the corporate ladder".
"To get to the “top” he must fly, not climb." - Stripes
"It takes lot of butterflies to make a world full of flowers." How does one become a butterfly? You have to want to learn to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.

#APECCEOSummit inspired me in so many levels... There's no reason for me to not achieve my biggest dreams and be one of the better stronger CEOs of the future. I've been exposed to different high level events and activities lately where I realized that there's nothing wrong being a high achiever lady and I'm about to embrace that fact. It's not my fault that I have big dreams and I always find ways to make it happen while making sure that I'm not stepping into anyone. Just like what I've wrote in my journal several years ago, "I won't climb. I'll fly." (A motto I live by inspired by story of Stripes and Yellow in Hope for the Flowers)
I'm turning 27 next month and everything I've learned this 2015 will be incorporated as I set new goals for my 30s. I hope you continue to join me in my #TAAP journey!
