Abstract
This chapter presents personal lessons that I have learned as an international academic from China to the United States, through my journey from an academic staff member to senior leadership positions in the field of education. Through overcoming barriers and seeking opportunities, I have learned the strategies of knowing ourselves, thinking critically, willingness to work on thankless assignments, broadening horizons, traveling, and ultimately, enjoying what we do.
