Experiences beside academia that shape the way I think

I have been thinking about the combination of information technology and plant for a long time. I am hesitant to use “entrepreneur” to describe because this word had beed misused a lot. To be specific, I built teams and developed products that aims to help farmers and educate the gardeners. These products received awards in hackathon and startup competitions and even attracted venture captalists. However, I knew that I reached my own limitation at that time unless gaining more solid knowledge and other experience or I would burn out very soon. That is why I quited all projects and turned into graduate studies. These experiences actually heavily influenced how I perceived the world, the way I work in academia.
