Getting Ahead with the Cherngs
Andrew, what do you like best about this country?
Gosh, there’s a lot to like! I couldn’t have done any of this in any other place. Americans are very progressive, very kindhearted and broad-minded, with broad shoulders. Americans welcome people from all different corners of the world. Different colors, creeds, religions. This really is a melting pot. Can we do more? Of course we can. I appreciate everything that I have here.
What kind of person do you tend to hire?
People who are honest and sincere and committed to this journey we have started. I want the person who says when something is not quite right, who doesn’t just let it slide by.
When you’re making business decisions, are you more likely to go with your head or your gut?
Probably my gut. I think I have an educated gut. Or we’d be in trouble!
If you had it to do all over again, would you do anything differently?
I’d start earlier, and I’d spend more time with my three daughters. Back then, I didn’t think I had the luxury to do that. I thought I had no choice but to succeed. Hopefully, I’ll be a better grandfather.
Peggy, if you had to choose between good luck and good instincts, which would it be?
Good instincts. Being proactive is always going to create luck eventually.
Who inspires you?
Our associates.
What’s the best advice you’ve received?
Years ago, I was told I had a lot of potential but that because of my background—Asians are raised to be very humble—I needed to focus more on self-expression.
When do you do your best thinking?
In the morning, when I’m swimming. The swimming calms my body and my mind. That time is very peaceful for me, and the thoughts are random.
What most impresses you about a person?
Positive thinking.
