1. In elementary school, I had a buck tooth that grew at a nearly 90 degree angle.
My friends used to give me tin cans to open with my teeth... until I got braces. :)
2. In 6th grade, I was a member of honors chorus (a singing group composed of about 30 kids).
The conductor told me to just mouth the words and pretend like I was singing... because I was that bad.
3. I am a black belt in Tae Kwon Do but my wife and my little daughter routinely kick my ass.
4.I was on the debate team for 4 years in high school but I still can’t win an argument against my wife.
5. When I was little, I never used to play with my toys. Instead, I used to keep them in mint condition in the box thinking that they’d be worth something someday.
6.In junior high school, I won 1st place in a Chinese school speech contest.
My dad wrote my entire speech..
Turns out I won because my dad wrote my speech about embarrassing things I did as a youth.
I was making fun of myself during the entire speech.
7. During my first Black Friday Sale, my buddies and I woke up at 5 am and plotted the most efficient path through Fry’s Electronics so we could get all of the items we wanted to purchase.
8. I started studying for the SATs in 4th grade but I still didn’t do as well as I hoped.
9. I rarely read for pleasure.
On vacations, I always take along a textbook or a technical document.
During my last vacation, I learned how to program php and MySQL.
10. When I was 4, I lied and told my parents that I was an expert swimmer.
One day, we all went to the swimming pool and they wanted to see me swim.
Not wanting to admit to the lie, I jumped in the pool and had to be rescued by the life guard.
11. My wife told me upfront before we got married that she was going to quit her job as soon as she became pregnant with our first child.
As a result, a very profitable side business was born during the 9 months she was pregnant and an entrepreneurship blog soon followed.
12. I hate losing and am ultra competitive in most things I do. If I lose, I will train and train until I can win.
13. My wife & I went from hating our jobs to owning two 7-figure online businesses.
