Its has been months since i pumped up another thought on Culture Differences. Of course there are tons of many others...but this is one significant difference - Entrepreneurship Drive.
After immersing myself in the culture here in SV for 8-9mths...i have been utterly brain-washed....or should i say that my vision has "improved". Thoughts these days have constantly been on the brink of being entrepreneur, rather than a microwave design engineer. When i look back, i am surprised how much my mindset have evolved.
Prior coming to SV, i will never have thought of being my own boss. Life in Singapore is just too comfy. Being in that environment for 25yrs of my life, i always thought of joining a big company, and rising through the ranks, just like many others, just like the norm. Its stable, has good benefits, and with equal CPF contributions made by the company, what more can Singaporeans ask for? There is so much to lose if one was to come out to be his own boss. To the new, budding entrepreneur, welcome to the World of Terror!
I've always hidden behind this curtain of terror, never exploring past it. Now in SV, i have finally taken a peek behind the curtain to see what beholds. Today, i think...behind this dark curtain... it may just be worthwhile.
