Salsa passion

Hi Ivan,

First of all, Happy Chinese New Years to you and your family. I love the family picture on your facebook profile. It seems you are really enjoying your time with your two kids :-)

Secondly, some news from my side. I re-joined McKinsey ( for the second time) about a month ago. I was really not looking forward to it but at the same time I can't help feeling excited about another year of growth and development. My current project is a somewhat challenging but I am sure I will be fine if I continue to be open, inspiring and focused.

Last but not the least, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the great advice you gave me when I asked you what I should do for my post-MBA trip. You said whatever I decided to do, I should go for depth, not breath. I took the advice and began to pursuit my love for dancing- I started to take Salsa lessons in Mexico, then in Columbia (where I met the amazing couple Esmeralda and Andreas) , and back in Taipei and Singapore. I feel happy that I am able to fulfill my childhood desire of dancing, and on top of that, made some friends along the way. It's hard to describe why I enjoy dancing so much.- perhaps it's the attention you get when you dace well, or it's how relaxed/sexy you feel when you immerse yourself with the romantic Latin music, or maybe it's just realizing how much I need to improve in trusting others... Whatever it is, I just know that when I dance, all the trouble seems to go away.
It's a great feeling.
No matter how much work takes up my time. I will never stop dancing
(my first new year resolution)
