【Quick Summary】

I danced with Gogoro in the worst era and the best era. I have experienced a lot and learned a lot. Here, I also want to share a few precious things for all the fearless, stupid, and longing for new creations. you (you):

oneWhen you have the opportunity, join a startup while you are young, early, and fresh

2. “Don’t be ashamed, your efforts are worthless 。」

threeThe resources you obtained in company A are difficult to transfer to company B across domains

FourEmpathy, the scenery will be completely different

Take away the Gogoro business card, what am I left with?

A few months before I left Gogoro, a company executive chatted with me and said, “We can have some small achievements today, and a large part of it comes from the platform of Gogoro, or halo, or business card.”” If one day, you leave this company and take away the Gogoro business card, what are you left with?” So, at this moment, “take away the Gogoro business card, what do I have left?” I believe, if I can’t take the business card, I took away all the terrifying experiences; instead of taking away the resources that the platform gave me, I took away valuable contacts and support.

So, take away the Gogoro business card, what do I have? My answer is: I have been able to embrace the DNA that has been implanted in my body ever since—regarding “visions to change the world, love for clean energy, believe in oil-to-electricity, believe that mobilizing communities can make a difference in society, believe that sincerity can defeat stigma, The flexibility of innovation and the experience and mindset from scratch and the ability to solve all kinds of strange problems.”
