I used to think that someone with my character, with my determination, my ambition and my IQ would mean that I would be successful in life because people would realise that those things were special about me and give me opportunities in life.
That's not how the world works though.
Everyone has characteristics that could make them successful in life and that could make them special.
The ones that get the opportunities though, are the ones that seek them out.
Forbes named me a world's top 50 woman in tech & 30 Under 30. I founded Robogals and Aipoly and was Young Australian of the Year 2012. Currently working on robotics company Aubot. I'm the youngest Member of the Order of Australia (AM) and I give speeches around the world.
I tweet @maritacheng and I'm on Facebook.
