Meet Mylinh Phan

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Mylinh Phan a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Mylinh, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?
My ethics are shaped by my upbringing and the values instilled in me by my family. Additionally, I draw inspiration from various philosophical and religious teachings that emphasize the importance of compassion, fairness, and integrity in one’s actions. I also believe in the power of empathy and strive to consider the perspectives and well-being of others in my ethical decision-making. Ultimately, my ethics are a reflection of the principles that I hold dear and the desire to contribute positively to the world around me.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I own a Taiwanese tea shop called Ding Tea in Greenville. The most exciting thing about it is the wide variety of unique and authentic Taiwanese teas we offer. From classic milk teas to refreshing fruit teas, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Our shop also provides a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for customers to relax and socialize. We recently launched a new line of seasonal fruit teas that have been a big hit among our customers. We’re constantly looking for ways to expand and improve our menu to provide the best tea experience possible.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
In my journey, the three qualities that had the most impact were perseverance, adaptability, and continuous learning. My advice for those starting their journey is to cultivate these qualities by staying determined, being open to change, and constantly seeking knowledge and growth.

Awesome, really appreciate you opening up with us today and before we close maybe you can share a book recommendation with us. Has there been a book that’s been impactful in your growth and development?
One book that has played an important role in my development is “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho. It taught me the importance of following my dreams and listening to my heart. One of the most valuable nuggets of wisdom from the book is that “when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” This quote reminds me to have faith in my aspirations and trust that everything will fall into place. Another impactful lesson from the book is that “the secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.” This reminds me to appreciate the small joys in life and not lose sight of the bigger picture. Overall, “The Alchemist” has had a profound impact on my perspective and has encouraged me to pursue my dreams with unwavering determination.
