CHIH-HSUN HOU

Founder / Npowerworkshop

Raymond Hou. An education dedicant and passionate sharer, striving to seek the limitless under the limited. He jokingly calls himself an atypical “part-time student” because his life is an accumulation of multi-disciplinary experiences. As a sharer, Raymond believes the systemization and delivery of know-hows are best for learning. Sharing enables us to reflect on, listen to, and absorb different values, allowing us to abandon stereotypes and prejudice. “The only properties never lost by sharing are experiences and knowledge.” As an active pioneer, Raymond has initiated several programs in college, from designing a series of city-based games, hosting an entrepreneurship convention, to founding an organization of self-learning. He has no respect for the status quo. “Being young” never suggests deficiency, but represents potentials. The cost in one’s eye is the bargaining chip in others’. “If a wasteland lies before you, quit complaining and act. Be the pioneer, be the start.”
