Touching Stone
Take one day off for some " Duty to perform ", this is an unspoken promise to a lot of something. wake up by 7:30 pm, the after Hot Spring sleep was wonderful. take the long drive to Bali and see little Tan, until this Oct. will be him 10th anniversaly. as usual, we stayed for only 10 minutes, brough him his favorate fruit - Apple and wispering about my next move.
Heading for Yinger by taking the route of Lin ko hill, it take only 40 minutes to get there. a short visit to the old celemric street for serching proper gift for Y. and A. - 2 Japanese executive who accept me to the internet / telecom door and pave the road to where I am not, although I am leaving, I wish to show them my sincere gratidude. so, buy some local best art is a good way. we found 2 pieces of status , it fit there charactor perfectly, one is with a very " Stable " gesture, the other is with a Zen ambience. on our way back, we visited the Hakka culture center and do our Hakka lunch there, it was good, when we finished our lunch, wife found that the front tire of our car was broken, we are so lucky to find a master in a car maintanace factory, helping us to replace our spare tire, and told me if we didn't change the tire, trategy may happen on the freeway.
repaire and replace 4 tires at the factory located in Shintein, I took the 2 house break to fix the " Hako project " from the root to the top, I think everything come to a match point, resouce exchange and the platform building is just in time, Thanks for the timing. it will never be done earlier and later.
Discuss J.'s book concept with C. I do admire her intellengence and come up with a strong point for positioning a very difficult target. and do the CHT project with " extra service ", this is a very good strategy and insight, if the organization is paralized by us, then we will be the wheelchair for them, they will need us more and more, the value we created will never be replaced.
Keelung night market is the compensation for the day, and I am so happy to finish almost everything in one day.
CEO - Expired
I promise myself to create a new blog for the new life and new identity, however, I am fully occupied in new business development, so, I rented , or in other word - steal the CEO title for a few days from now.
I am thinking to create a new blog entitlted " The Road to Social Capitalist ", to better describe how I plan / work / develop / implement the theme of " Image a better world ", it sound good and worth the effort to document it, by myself and in my own word.
Worked overnight for CHT BP, sending SMS to Lu and confirmed she is fine with the final touch, she called me this afternoon and said the conversation with Chairman went well and we - Lichun community manager to get the first oral contract - from the biggest list company in Taiwan, as the client will ultimately shinging our brand, we were so exciting.
Chat with T. for the International Youth Traveller product bidding status, he is comfortable with the rist , which was list on the contract , and we go over a few obstable, as we foresee some of the problems when it come to execution. I am happy to learn that he is so capable to handle it and equip with the passion to make it work.
Lichun first group lunch take place at Chulk Full - the cafe' which I love recently , it located at NKSP, and we order the German sausage pizza and go over a few house keeping issues, I love the first day feeling, what surprise me is when asked E. about our colleage, as I've been away from them for a few days, E.'s reply make me stonk for a while, she said the impact is huge, well, this is beyond my imaganation, but I have to take care of my own living before caring about others' feeling, this is a crul and pratical world, I can't haste and waste.
Chat with J. about the future of Kokoro, I love the positioning C. gave to them now : The Peter Pan, it will never grow up, but with a slightly touch upon love - puppy love.
fixing a few house keeping issues in the office and heading for the hot spring relaxation with wife, J. called in my way tot Wulai- he is so concerned about the proposal and so afraid that I will steal his money from their company, as I learn his idea already and adjust the project and my attitude to a " Book centric " development, but it seems that J. thought book is my kidnapping to his image or social status, I am not upset nore feel bad, but to think how to handle client like him ? it's easy for me to compare the so call BOSS in Taiwan, and I can easliy tell who garner the higher ground and scale of devleopment, but, as my wife advise me, I shall surprise him by telling him this is a " Free of Charge " project and see how his reacation is. this is funny, thanks God, I don't need to be he manager and spending time no the less- contributed way, but I do apprecaite his role plan, which make me see the real world much clear than before.
Share with wife C.'s idea about rent the office in 101,. she is so against this idea and said, the higher we climb, the deeper we fall, she is not supersittious, but insist not to rent office in short, and don't think about 101, if we really need one, why not buy one for oursleves ? she is the money keeper we definetly need, thanks God, we have complementary role like her to be in our team.
I need to think it hard and think if over how to position myself and Lichun to the word ? the groud and the domain we can stand still, and the blue ocean we own which others can't touch. as we leverage the NPO / NGO concept, our mindset should be pure and clear, this is the reflection to my nature, I shall honest to my feeling and tried my best for a " Better World ", thanks everyone to provide me such a good new start.
