My Promise
Once I have been asked “have you ever dream to be successful as today?”, here my answer: Today is beyond my dream. My success comes from “opportunity”.
30 years ago, “My First opportunity” was to be accepted as a labor, and became a deliver. At that time, I’ve got a chance to learn the work. When I started my book shop, I received opportunity from older and friends. Then, I was in million debt, there are hands reach out to help me to pass the crisis. Now, what I have today is come from those providers, so I truly appreciate the goodness of giving. Today, I can give my family the stability, I dare not say I’m rich but I’m sufficient.
I have a lovely family; I receive every support from my wife; that’s the perfect of life. My meaning of happiness is now changed.
30 years ago, my happiness is “successful and money”. But today happiness is to give back the opportunity to pay it forward.
I’d love to say that describe my business experiences has become my intend work as a provider. “Smile” from sufferer is my happiness. I was given, but now I’m ready and able to be a giver. I’m sufficient, I’d enough and I’m satisfied.
So, in establishing Ichitan Group co., ltd. 50% of mine and my wife dividend will be donated to Tan Pan foundation since the first procedure. When I’m 60 years old, 9th September 2019, I will increase this fund to 90% forever to improve the education and environment which is my intention to pay back the society and nature that I was given. So that they will pay it forward to next generation.
9 years from now on, I’ll build Ichitan Group co., ltd. to be a business for mission of Tan Pan Foundation. My goal onward is not to “receive” but to “give”. My happiness is not in numbers but “smiles” of “the given”. I believe we can’t choose how to born, but we can choose who to be. Today I’ve chosen.
