We launched <strong>ALIST</strong> Magazine back in<br />
2012 with just a handful of passionate<br />
volunteers and now we are still standing<br />
strong celebrating our 5th year in<br />
publication. Our revolving doors have<br />
given many of our team members a<br />
great start in their careers and many are<br />
successful. The most important part of this<br />
magazine is the tremendous support that<br />
we have from the National Association of<br />
Asian American Professionals (NAAAP).<br />
They have given us the freedom to<br />
creatively evolve into <strong>ALIST</strong> Magazine.<br />
In this particular issue, I began my own<br />
journey as the Executive Editor of <strong>ALIST</strong><br />
Magazine. I was behind the scenes up to<br />
now and driving the direction of each issue<br />
has been and still is a work of passion and<br />
pure dedication. My family and friends,<br />
<br />

still to this day, cannot fathom why I do<br />
this for free and for the past 5 years! They<br />
ask ‘why do all this hard work for people<br />
who may not read the magazine?’ To me<br />
the answer is rather simple, I just love<br />
what I do and because I want to do it.<br />
My frustrations with interviews and the<br />
production is ultimately my motivation.<br />
There is a clear and defined goal of putting<br />
out an issue within the deadline and<br />
knowing that this is exactly what I wanted<br />
and was not afraid to spend all of my time<br />
and energy to releasing the magazine to<br />
our readers.<br />
Celebrating our 5th year is a huge<br />
milestone for us. This has translated into<br />
14 issues produced 3 times a year with<br />
over thousands of hours of volunteered<br />
time – so a lot of blood, sweat and tears<br />
have gone into each issue.<br />
There are many meanings to the number 5<br />
and here are some of them:<br />
1. There are 5 blessings in China<br />
(wealth, happiness, longevity, luck,<br />
prosperity)<br />
2. In Chinese astrology, there are 5<br />
elements (metal, wood, water, fire,<br />
earth)<br />
3. 5 main grains in China (rice, two<br />
kinds of millet, wheat, beans)<br />
4. 5 flavors (sweet, sour, bitter, pungent,<br />
salty)<br />
5. It is the number of the human being<br />
where it symbolizes the four limbs<br />
and the head<br />
6. There are 5 senses (sight, sound, taste,<br />
smell, touch)<br />
7. There are 5 vowels<br />
8. A starfish has 5 arms<br />
9. An earthworm has 5 hearts<br />
10. 10) there are 5 players on a basketball<br />
team<br />
11. In a quintet there are 5 musicians<br />
12. 5 Olympic Rings for the 5 Continents<br />
(Blue Ring: Europe, Yellow Ring:<br />
Asian, Black Ring: Africa, Green<br />
Ring: Oceania, Red Ring: America)<br />
13. There are 5 books of the Torah<br />
14. 5 pillars of Islam<br />
15. We celebrate with ‘High Fives’<br />
16. 5 Great Lakes (Lake Erie, Lake<br />
Huron, Lake Michigan, Lake<br />
Ontario, Lake Superior)<br />
We are all busy with our daily lives and<br />
keeping up with the newest technology<br />
that we forget to take a moment to selfreflect.<br />
Many take time in the morning<br />
before they begin their days to journal<br />
and write their thoughts, dreams, rants,<br />
distractions, things that just come up so<br />
that they are cleared and free to think<br />
for the rest of the day. At <strong>ALIST</strong>, our<br />
articles give you the introspection of the<br />
lives of CEOs, leaders, actors/actress,<br />
directors, filmmakers, authors, musicians<br />
and many others. We provide a glimpse<br />
into their lives, hoping that you can make<br />
a connection with their story.<br />
We consciously think about each issue<br />
and it continues to be a journey of routine<br />
with hiccups here and there – as in life<br />
there are always bumps in the road. With<br />
these bumps, we cannot lose our sense of<br />
balance and what is important.<br />
With all of these amazing issues, we<br />
realize what we are doing great and should<br />
and will be doing more in 2018 and<br />
beyond. Each writer and each individual<br />
that we interview has given us a different<br />
view point about their own personal<br />
journey in life with their own strengths<br />
and weaknesses.<br />
Reflecting about the past should help the<br />
present and the future. I encourage all of<br />
you to continue this journey with my staff<br />
and I by giving a bit of yourself by reading<br />
each issue and spreading the word about<br />
<strong>ALIST</strong> Magazine, so that this can be our<br />
future legacy of the new generation of<br />
leaders!<br />
