Diary of a CEO

I am so moved

I skip the family gathering dinner last night, this actity was to cerelate the 60th birthday of my uncle, we were told to bare the cost with my sister - my wife cashed 50,000 NT for it; I am not in favor of doing this, so, I am not interested in particpating.

After the long lunch with J. and his newly married wife S. I sat at the Haaz cafe' - the cozy and warm little cafe' which I become a regular visitor on Weekend, order a coffee and reading, but yesterday I was working on meeting documents and paper, since Monday I will chair the strategic meeting without COO, I must take control and be prepared in front of all the managers, I reflesh some Kick-off document and recall the mission, value, commitment the company annouced on April, and I review some values we highly believed before such as : Fish ( Choose your attitude , Play , Make their day and Be present ) and QBQ ( eliminate WHY / WHO / WHEN and replace with How and What with an " I " attached ), then I realized we lost sight on the value we promised before, and to check the 3 major goals in 3 difference area and to minotor the figures we promise to delivered, I understand to bring the company to one piece will be a highly challenged task.

I managed to have J. stayed for another 3 months to observe if we may overcome the long lasting problemes in our company, I don't want him to stay becaure of the emotional feeling such as because of me. and I wish him to experience the road he doesn't encouted before he make his assumption. people should not draw to any conclusion without experience and digested it, and I advise him all the foresee factors are illustion as none of them happend now, uncertainty is the only fact in the future. we don't predict it , but to experiece it and my overcome those hurdles together. and I advise him to give up or withdraw from current positon and assignment will easlity be treated as a man incapable to handle problems or difficulity and will not be hightly recommened by others. I do hope he understand.

It's so quite at night as everybody went for dinner, I take the aboriginal complilation album which I bought 2 weeks ago at Park View Hotel in Huilien and begin to listen, when it play to track number 10, Panai sang a Fokanned song " Tai Tung People ", my tears run out, it;s so touching and she intepretation of the song was so vivid, you can see the visual coming out of her tonation and lyric, a native Amai tribe sang such a powerful Taiwanes song. I listen and listen and I wish I can do somthing for these greate singers, the song is talking about aborinigal girls working in pron house - this misfit reflect to the low life of young tribe back in 70 and 80th in Taiwqan, one day she found that she was pregenant but she have to cover her belly with left hand, but to welcome strangers on his right hand. so sad, so touching, so deep and so true.

I listen and listen and I should do something about this.
