In the past few days, I experienced something extraordinary — a powerful typhoon named Gaemi — as it’s strong wind gusts and heavy rain whipped across Taiwan.

I’ve experienced typhoons in Taiwan and Hong Kong before and can tell you this wasn’t just another “weather event”; it was a force of nature that left a lasting impression on me.

It got me thinking.

You see, typhoons are incredibly powerful and can make us feel small and insignificant. Once they’re “on”, there’s not much else to do than to take shelter and simply sit it out.

That’s what we did.

And it was so good — actually, I recharged my batteries nicely and got to do some extra writing done.

Let me share my personal experience and the valuable life lessons I think I’ve learned from experiencing typhoon Gaemi firsthand.
