New year wishes

Happy new year, everyone.

This year is 2022. I'm 68 years old, and the song From my way to our way can describe my life.

Live a Wonderful Life

  • “The Bucket List” is a movie that described two patients with cancer who decided to realize their bucket list for the rest of their lives, which inspired me to be myself at 55.

  • MEAN WELL has formed a distinct business philosophy and corporate culture, as like my motto: Hard-fought success sustains the future. Integrity fosters prosperity. It means that the corporate's life has no limit, but it has to become a sustainable benchmark enterprise. I am also developing in the three directions of "upward, good, and happy" and gradually adjusting life and work priorities.

  • EstablishSDG Group websiteand proactively promote SDG Group's sustainable development idea. The goal is to cultivate more than 100 ESG companies by 2030.

Accomplish 10 Wishes

  • 3 things you must do as a Taiwanese: climbing Jade Mountain, crossing Sun Moon Lake and cycling around the island have all been completed.

  • Experience 6 things that I didn't do when I was young: skiing, diving, windsurfing, youth team, river climbing/diving, road running 10K, all of which have been completed now.

  • The 10th wish “travel around the world”: Visiting countries/distributors where sales once accounted for 0.5% of the group, but still lacking South Africa (because our partners say it is not safe, it is expected to be completed in 2023)

Inherit the career and be a lifelong volunteer

  • Public welfare and education are my lifelong career. To promote SDG ideas and create a better environment for the next generation.

  • Obtain an EMBA degree, establish SDG Academy, inherit and cultivate more MEAN WELL talents (in progress, expected to be completed in 2023/6).

  • Publish 3 Books:
    1. Book 1: 《The Power of Reliable Partners》. After two years of interviews (2018.11~2020.10), it explained MEAN WELL's development track and strategic choices. The traditional Chinese version was successfully released on 2020/12/12, and the English and simplified Chinese versions were also launched.

    2. Book 2: 《The Power of Pursuing Great》 is expected to be released when MEAN WELL's revenue reaches USD 2 Billion. (In progress, the performance in 2022 reached USD 1493 M. It is estimated that it will reach USD 2B in 2024/Q4, and the book will be released globally).

    3. Book 3: 《The Power of Sustainable Development》 will be published after 3 things have been done.
      • Have 100 ESG companies.

      • SDG Group's consolidated revenue exceeds USD 5 Billion.

      • Have more than 2 companies listed, and the combined market value exceeds USD 10 Billion.

At last, I will set an example with the successor team to establish a system and lay the foundation for the sustainable development of SDG Group in the future. When faced with sudden challenges(such as the COVID-19 epidemic), it is like the automatic driving of an airplane after reaching an altitude of 30,000 feet, and the next generation can successfully take over the baton. I also look forward to seeing the release of the third book!
