Work is very important for sure! But in the end we should not forget we are humans, and too much work will burn you out. Actually, an excess of anything is not healthy in our lives (think about too much sport, too much eating, too much sleep etc.), and we need balance in our lives. I firmly believe that working SMART will bring way more benefits than just work HARD, especially in our industry. In fact engineers do not chose the semiconductor industry for the ease, but at Micron I am able to achieve what I could not in my previous company: work effectively AND a balanced life.

When evaluating the competence of a talent with a certain role, generally the recruiter and the hiring managers wouldn't aim at a talent scores 9-10 out of 10, instead, a talent scores 6-8 would also be considered combining with other qualifications, among which the most valued one is the talent's actual actions of learning and self-improvement. The capability of taking actions set a challenging barrier for talents who only thinks and those not only thinks but also acts. In the daily work and life, the capability of hands on actions are also super important for people to achieve career and life goals. Taking action is the spirit that Micron has always been held and carried out. Micron does not just talk about the DEI, Sustainability, People, Customer first, Innovation, we actually devote huge resources in the realizing of all these concepts. Taking actions now!

Although passion to the work you doing is important, do not forget that there is a lot of other things around you. Spending time with you friends and family is also important for your mental health and increases the total quality of your life. For me sometimes it is quite boring to talk to people who only can talk about their work and rumors inside the company. I believe that finding a hobby, reading books or watching movies not only makes you less stressed but also makes you more interesting person to talk with. Life is full of interesting people and opportunities, do not miss them!
