Sunny Sun - A Character With Character

...because interesting people are more fun to work with

by Zhonghuan (Sunny) Sun and Reagan Pugh on October 4th, 2012

Sunny Sun is my name. I love to eat. Big time! My friend was fast enough to take the above picture of me holding the sugar syrup painted dragon just before I finished it. I have been able to eat a lot ever since I was a baby. Fortunately I have a hyper metabolism that burns all the calories and gives me the energy to pursue my wide interests: rock climbing, origami, cooking, basketball, snorkeling, jumping checker, karaoke, traveling, making PowerPoints, building Excel models, and being a management consultant. (Yes - the last three actually burn off the most calories.) I am always up for trying new things. Bizarre food? Daring sports? Challenging business case? Count me in!

Your favorite virtue? Why?

Perseverance. When perseverance becomes a habit, it also becomes the best solution to all the difficult problems you will encounter.

What natural gift would you most like to possess? Why?

I wish I only needed three hours of sleep every day - enough time for a dream, but more time for real fun.

Who are your favorite heroes of fiction?

Kung-Fu Panda. It must be a great feeling to be loved and feared at the same time.

If you were a kind of herbivore, what kind of herbivore would you be and why?

A panda. Who doesn’t love a panda? They have the best job on earth: being cute.

When was a time you were chosen to do something important?

I like to choose the important things I do myself.
