Steve Kim, Most Successful Asian American

When I lounged around the Kyobo book store, the book I post up left side caught my step. I just wondered, 'Have I ever heard about his name, Steve Kim, famous as Bill Gates of Asia?' I have never heard of this before. I already held this book without my knowledge. I was curious who he is. And there is a small notice on the tail "Total royalties from this book will be donated to social welfare service." I can say that's why I chose it. I read his story doubtfully because I thought this book was a case of an exaggerative advertisement.

However, I was wrong. I was just a big fish in a little pond. In a few googling, I realize Steve Kim was chairman and CEO of Xylan Corporation(Here are some articles from LA Times) and he ranked the 9th on the America's 100 Top Asian Entrepreneurs.

Now he devotes himself to social welfare service for developing countries including the north Korea. Besides, he runs the scholarship foundation, Dream Hope Future.

I see Steve Kim as the great role model I want to follow. Although he had begun from the scratch, he has achieved success. And he doesn't forget to express his gratitude to the world. In conclusion, I don't believe God, but if somebody get mount on the top of the ladder those people would know they are selected to conduct the great duty. Steve Kim knows he is one of them.
