64 Years After Accident, Lost Memories

Our CFO is sixty-four, and his essay opens with a striking confession: at age five, thrown from the back of his mother's motorbike, he struck his head and lost most of his memories — and grew up with a weak memory ever since. Ordinarily told as a handicap.

Yet reading his essay, something remarkable emerges: the man who could not rely on memory became a man of records and learning — extracting principles from each experience and applying them forward. His motto, "the unexpected is the norm," expresses a life focused not on the past but on now and next.

Raised by his mother alone, through university on scholarship, across the front lines of global finance, he boarded our ship at sixty-four. If you cannot recall the past, draw the future. His sixty-four years prove it.
