Visiting Professor Chang in Taipei/ Charles Chuang
Visiting Professor Chang in Taipei/ Charles Chuang
I have kept correspondence with retired professor Chang for quite some time.
He was in insurance field before I entered the business; however, he was an
actuary major in the corporation planning level. He had taught at the universities
between the U.S. and Asian nations until recent retirement. His younger sister,
Wendy, was one of my biggest insured. I had waited two weeks after arriving
to Taipei for the opportunity to visit him and had three conversation for three
different days. His wife, Joy, works with Wendy at Nuskin and is very busy to
build her business in China. Every time when visit Taipei, I always have been
treated dinners at the house of the Taipei Oversea American Club. One year
the lunch was in a fancy vegetarian restaurant.
His circle of friends included several famous politicians, we all touched briefly
during our conversation. He has decided to write a book which I believe is in
his major field yet not in his regular life or philosophy toward his friends and
careers. He is an intellectual and a Marathon runner and still runs ten thousand
meter a day.
I don’t believe that he should consider to go back to live in the U.S. and engages
in the retail insurance business. I feel the business is very stressful, to me for
instance, I have been burned out twice during my career as an agency owner.
Also the big insurance company will not easily grand agent’s contract to the
Senior and would rather to train a person freshly graduate from college. Now
after Warren Buffett enters auto insurance business, he has sake the industry
upside down. The Obamacare is still not quite certain and so on. I believe that
he should keep what he has possessed in Taiwan and take care of the family.
There is no need to build a new world in the U.S. unless enjoying the retirement.
He agrees.
In regard to our mutual friend, J.S. Chien who was his buddy in Cincinnati, Ohio.
It was because of my poorly description that made him felt J.S. was not warm
toward him. I apologized immediately. Making friends with these type of smart
guys, I must be very careful. His friends are, for example, formerl President Teng
Hui Lee and George Chang, former mayor of Tainan etc. In regard to my blog,
He encouraged me to select some for him to read.
