Speeches

This speech is inspired by "38 Letters from J.D. Rockefeller to His Son", a book brimming with timeless wisdom on life, business, and character. From its many insights, I distilled three ideas that resonated with me most deeply and shaped them into a simple framework—F.A.B.—designed to make these lessons memorable and practical.

This speech is inspired by "The Art of Procrastination" by John Perry, a witty and insightful book that redefines how we think about putting things off. Instead of treating procrastination as a flaw to overcome, I explored how it can be reframed into a strength—and even a superpower.

My icebreaker speech is inspired by Steve Jobs’ famous quote. It serves as an introduction to who I am, as I reflect on the twists, turns, and unexpected choices that have shaped my journey. Moments that once seemed random or disconnected now reveal a clear pattern in hindsight, offering a perspective on how my path has unfolded.

This speech is inspired by Adam Grant’s book "Give and Take", which challenges common assumptions about success and human nature. I dive into the counterintuitive reality that takers often appear charming and agreeable on the surface, while true givers—the people we most want to build lasting relationships with—can sometimes seem rough, distant, or even unapproachable at first.

This speech is inspired by the timeless wisdom of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, two of the greatest investors who have ever lived and who have also been my mentors for over a decade. I share the most important lessons I’ve learned from their approach to investing and life, and reflect on how their guidance has shaped my own journey.

This speech is inspired by Peter Thiel’s book "Zero to One", where I explore the idea that we live under a power law—a force that shapes everything around us, from nature to relationships to the business world. Instead of outcomes being evenly distributed, a small number of decisions, companies, or efforts generate an outsized impact, reminding us that focus on the few truly important things can change everything.
