Life Lessons from a Marathon Enthusiast
In the second half of the seminar, Roger Tsai (Guo-Zhen Tsai), a renowned global marathon runner and outstanding YZU EMBA alumnus, took the stage to share his inspiring journey. Under the theme "Life is a Marathon", he recounted how he once disliked running but was later motivated to start due to health concerns.
Since he took up running at the age of 47, Roger has run for over 3,000 consecutive days, completed hundreds of marathons, and conquered some of the world’s toughest races, including the World Marathon Majors and extreme marathons across five continents.
His story showcased the power of perseverance and passion in overcoming life's challenges. He encouraged participants to pursue health while embracing new opportunities and adventures in life.
