Holding on to you

song by Terence Trent D'arby -- I play the tune this morning by 7 am when check the library of my music collection, a missed hit of my own, it hit me agian and again, holding on to you - the black soul in white flavor, I love the way DDT inteprete the song.... I delicate it to all the YOU.

Attending Jonathan's clinet performance last night at the library , this is the first time I saw him performing his love on stage. after all the years- more than 10 years, I only do the talking about music, how experience I am and my professional opinion about who SHOULD success in the music business, however, it lack the evidence of seeing one's passion on stage, checking ones' best love to expressed, we were lucky, I saw a differenct Jonathan on stage, expressing his love and passion to music, smooth all the audience with the melody he intepreted. I can feel an artist in his own style. and I can see how he eager to prove that he is committed to his love - no matter how difficult the road ahead, I feel proud of him and shed a little bit shame myself, I only do the talking, for decade without listing to his music..... I can hardly ruin a young talent. Mark didn't attend his son's performance, this is not on his prioity agenda and he never thought of letting the music career drive his son's head, 2 big flowers demo the love from family , which block the entrace of the auditorim, I am wondering if Mark ever see the flower he sent, I took picture of the flower and sent him the short message when completing my listening to Jonathan's performace.

setting a lunch for Chung-Chang - fleshing conductor of NSTO who return from Plague to Jonathan, I thought it may brining some sparkle at the dining table, it is, my prerequistie of setting 2 type of parenting model was wrong, graduating from National Taiwan University major in Chemical Engineering, C.C told his father about his decision of study music in Europe, I thought that dramatic life decision win his fathers' support at the first place, well, I was wrong then, it encoutering the same worries as Mark did to Jonathan, the model of success in music pave a new hope in front of Jonathan, I only the quality lunch did inspire Jonathan in a way.

Fruit is giving up herself gradually, had dinner with her on Friady, chat about the coming mid-term examination, she don't take any responsibilty to the examine and express her decision to give up at least 3 courese without overcome the difficulity in learning. the remaining course to her is not a piece of cake as well. let go too easy will seeds the hardship in life, how can I explain it to her, I didn't know what's in my brain when I was 14 years old; last week, she bought some new clothes, her mother respect her own taste of fashion, she love to wear more exploure these days, as a father, I did worry about her safety, her appearacne looks older than normal girls, but her maturally in handling what's love and what's sex really put out a worry bomb. I don't have a say about it, who should communicate to her?

Alan from China Life Insurance - our client without sign off the contract hesitate to take the CSR initative these days, I was call for shooting this emergency, the engagement is excellent, I share with him the debate or mood in hesitation is the process of engaing in CSR, I didn't want him to bail out of the CSR prisnor, otherwise, the cost will be extreaming high for everyone. this is not to win in debating, but to exchange what's wrong in concepture, and how to produce a " Management approach '" before forming the Team building session.

David raise a Wei Wang presidency career to me on the day, I didn't reply with a quick NO, he it too agressive, so the following day when he called and relay a " submit my C.V." first, I knew he is knocking a wrong door , so, it will be great if we step back and think.. when it perfectly echo my accidential conversation with Mr. Lin - potentially YPOer about the succession of his family business - it endangerd career of my EMBA colleage's Mr. Yu (a professional manager hired by Mr. Lin's father ), a professional manager is hard to inherit from family business, I may face the same situration in Wei Wang even with the blessing of David. lucky to have room for digest.
