This is a special day for our family, especially for our son, Lucas! Today is the day for their graduation ceremony at INSEAD, the world top business school based in France. So officially my son has completed his study and earned his MBA today!
Congratulations, son! Another important milestone for you to have reached.
Eight years ago, I posted a note here to summarized his major lifetime milestones till his college graduation (see here). Time has passed so fast. With just a blink of eyes, he is approaching the 而立之年. While he had always been working in the top financial companies, first the top bond company PIMCO and then the top investment bank JP Morgan, he knew the 12 hours a day intensive office work was not what you really enjoyed and he needed a change. That's why he decided to quit his JPM job and pursed a new career path via MBA. As parents, we of course will always be ready to support him whenever he needs us but he didn't ask anything from us. Rather, thanks to the special Whole Life Insurance he has set up for "saving" his earnings over the years, he has fully funded his MBA study by himself by using his policy. This by itself is a great achievement as it demonstrated he has managed his work, life and personal finance optimally even though we have witnessed how stressful his life had been!
This MBA is a one year program, a very productive and efficient one but also quite intensive one. But Lucas has not only successfully completed his courses, he has even partnered with friends to start a blockchain company, which has successfully got their first funding via seed financing. At the end, he has successfully demonstrated his ability via the summer interim job and has been hired as the VP for Business Strategy for a fintech company. This fits into his dream job profile as he is always excited and wishing for being a diplomat of some sort. This role may be type of a diplomat in finance that may maximize his full potential in life! While Lucas is still young and has a long way to go in his life, we are extremely happy for what he has accomplished so far. As parents, nothing is more important and happier to see our kids to be happy in what they are pursuing in their life!
Son, we are proud of you for what you have achieved to date but don't stop here. There will be more challenges ahead but we know you will, as always, try your best to overcome any difficulties that may arise and to reach to the next top in your life.
GO GO Lucus!!💃💪💪
