Samenvatting:

Nine Deaths, One Life: From Fashion Model to High-Tech Exec, Where East Meets West is a book about surviving and excelling in three-dimensional paradoxes: navigating the tensions between Eastern and Western values, transitioning from a looks-intensive to brain-intensive industry, and enduring nine near-death experiences in the quest for a good life.The stories are down-to-earth and deeply personal, demonstrating how to live by five guiding principles: courage with wisdom conquers, travel the least-traveled roads, embrace cross-disciplinary thinking, success is not predictable-failure is, and virtue is theft-proof wealth.This book is useful for professionals, for curious minds seeking insight into immigrant experiences, and for young people, particularly young women, looking for life and career guidance. It also explores parenting practices for raising children with a conscience and an unwavering sense of responsibility. More than a memoir, this book addresses critical thinking, decision-making strategies, and tactics for ordinary people in life and work."Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat." -Sun Tzu, The Art of War
