"I always thought of myself as a warrior who came from Singapore's lower to middle type of family background. My grandparents came here to Singapore, of course from China. I lived in the farm for the several first years of my life. Grew up playing with chickens, feed them. I think a lot about myself as someone who came from a very humble background. Singapore went through a very nice, strong mess meritocrally and I am a huge product of that. Enjoyed a good ride. Worked very hard in school, fought all the way through different schools. I went to NUS. Entrepreneurship program. One day my friend said, "Oh, you'd be good at UPenn, it's an ivy league school." I'm like, "What's ivy league?" Those were the days that Google just started. They were the upstart, and I was using Google trying to figure out what's ivy league." - Yiping Goh
