The break with Alex is fun, he is a great pitcher, knowing what I like and dislike and wish to place me to MTV, well, Tom left last month, the brand is jerpordise and no leadership anymore... I am so negitive about this offering, I wouldn't think about i until we went through a family / friend chat, finally, I told Alext under 3 condition, we may have a converstion with them :
1. Greater China positon.
2. Free hand for 2 years.
3. Same or higher perk.
he asked if those 3 condition were accpeted, what's the percentage to join ? I said 60% , he laughed and reply with no way, I raised it to 75% and told him the 25% depend on the person I report to....... he fully understand what I ma saying....
Jean didn't make time for our appointment on this trip, I am OK, after Alex, a causal dinner with Meng, the alumni who I like when return to study 7 years ago, although I didn't finish the course, ( I only study for one semester ) but the relationship build and friendship established were so health, I overheard his illness and frustration from one of the alumni, ( this is a must to me and my wife, we run into person we know in every occation, this happen 3 weeks ago when we go to Shinden -- a local-local market for Red face duck hot pot, this classmate told me about Meng, I decided to invited him for a private dinner ), the situation wasn't so bad, he did take a long rest, like 2 months, didn't feeling well, heavy workload. we share a few thing on the dinner table, I recommend him to read the book " 7 habits " and encourge him to take the training couse, this is a paradigm shift , a assessment to your work and life.
