Diary of a CEO

Photography and Memories

Yang mail me a few photos yesterday, among those old pictures, there's only one show her latest figure - well, even it tells me she is mature and at her 30's, I can't tell when the photo was taken and how old she was then. but the picture must be carefully selected, I share it with my wife, we all agree that she is a beauty for sure.

Other photos bring back a few memories of me. but they are far away, as Yang is diving in the good old days and I thought this is one of the best medicine to support her, I am thinking to bring back those memory for real for her.. how to do it? serching those people in her memories, have them recoreded message to her.. is this a good way? or , to be honest, do I have time to do so?

Attending D. private dinner last night, this is 4 months after he became father, all the Fourm buddy's visit their house and enjoy the night together, A. was absent due to his engagement in Shanghai; it's been 2 months since our last meeting, and we will see each other today at our Forum again. D. hire Ambassodor Hotel to do the catering, 3 tables in total, kids in one table, wife seperate in one table and we occupied one table. the dinner finished around 10 pm, and nobody want to leave. we have lot to share and to talk.

Going home, I asked my wife to open the parcel , this is the birthday gift I bought for her, the beauty drinks, the produce come from Sony Cosmetic Lab, I hope it do regenerate her body and provide her the rejuville feel as well. then we talked about the worst scenior in life, such as how to support our kids in school if I lost my job, how to keep the house or sale it? the negative feeling make her feel sorrow -- this is cause by a few signal in our company, the debute new business - community blog didn't reach our expecation, to be honest, it is way behind our target. the second new business, the ECmall, which we pray a high hope in coming years experiece a serious delay of launch, it's been late for 2 months, and we may fail to reach the dead dead line , which is end of Aug. the system devlopment is a big problem, the project team admit that we choose the wrong vendor and they are not qualified to deliver what we need -- to be specific, even the basic function can not work smoothly; the gap in lauching both new service result to a further 50 millions liability, a faith problem, a break up of sales team and the anti-trust of the shop we acquired for past 3 months.
I have no concrete idea how to present this situation to Tokyo, and I don't know how to make up the loss in time / money and confidence in the comapany, this is why me and my wife sharing the worst scenario last night.

The picture Yang sent is the good medicine for me, seeing your friend fighting for the real life, the turbulence in business will never be a big deal to me. I should be strong and handling is with confidence. Determination is the key to overcome hurdles, you neve know how strong next wave will hit you, be prepared and be optimistic.

Bringing Christine to see Liu - the famouse Drama Director, if she can't be qualified for casting, my wife will trun her down, this is the bottom line.

I am thinking, thinking. neither traping nor drawing.
