what Kaifu Lee's talk makes me think

First I had this impulse to move to Google China; just like 10 years ago, when I first heard his talk in Tsinghua, I felt propelled to go work for MSRCN.

Then I think, what shall I do there after moving to Google China. A number of things comes to my mind. Some are quite viable. Then I felt there are so many things I have not done in US. Before going back to China, I wanna do those things first, like getting a MBA, going to Yellowstone NP.

Then I thought, do I really like to work in China? Maybe just moving to Google Kirkland is better, where I can sort of get the best part of both worlds, enjoy frequent trips to China, while still have US style freedom to talk.

Then my thoughts went really wild: if I ever gonna move, why China? why Google? I have many more choices than that. I could work for UNICEF in Europe, or find a postDoc job in Australian, or go to HP Brazil. The world is wide open to me. And there are so many opportunities.

From this moment on, I feel totally alive again. Just like 10 years ago. Only this time, I have less fear and more confidence.

Thanks Kaifu! The unintended effect of your talk makes me feel like a totally new person again.
