Spending 5 more years, here comes my Number 1,000 blog article, the cumulated work on word pave the road to my routine, learn the blog, keep the diary work and review / revise my inner world in a private yet health way.

To practice my Englsih writing is another side effect, although I can only use simply vocaburary and without spelling check, but it can express myself clearly, hopefully, if one day, anyone reveiw these remarks I made, he or she can digest my personal history as well.

Chuang - So-san trun himself to a curier and send me the offering letter -- with the cover of proposal in Power Point sheet, my intepretation is a Proposal is negociable and should be negociate, in all the terms in states, second is, the blur and fuzzy description helps me in moving my own directing, he is smart enought to leave us rooms to think. no hard feeling, discuss with wife when she sent jacket to me by 9: 10 pm, she insisted that postition and title is important to me, perk is secondy, I agree with her point and advice her this is an insurance on hand, we can wait for Disney another month, and softly move the job description of Soft Bank offer to what benefit me most.

Huang Chun Ming is a unique person and a charactor in our society, NDC invited him to out class at night, 2 hours is a little bit short for him, he can share his experience , insight and wisdom to all of us for 24 hours, humor / honest and integrity, from a rebel youth to a national treasure in literacy, I read his novel before but this is my first time listing to his speech, a great story teller.

Albert is a person who I like, the first day saw him, I had a feeling that he belong to YPO, so, today, I open my suggetion to him, he response with a story of hesitation, it cause my curiority to find out, so, after the lecture of Mr. Huang, I invited him to the Cafe for drink, he share with me a story about auther, his younger brother who was banned by C. 2 years ago, a shocking story to me, but I had a feeling that he is a perfect member to YPO.

It's People, who combines excellency

First day at National Development Reserch Class ( this is my straight translation, there should be some more elegent naming ), I didn't expect too much, but with the day study, I graduately dive into the ambience it created, it wasn't how great the clasee design, how super the facaulty they invite, but the people they glue and mingles.

It's hard to believe that a class gathering with 40 elites across the Acadamic / Admistrative / Enterprise / NGO, for a 6 weeks training together, living together and sharing together.

Opening ceremony is conducted at the auditorum, President Chen arrived by 10 am, have the photo sessions with us before deliver his opening speech, after him, Prime Minister Chang also give his speech, in the morning, we are sitting at the auditourm.

The good part begins after lunch, that's the time for self-introduction, as the facilitator didn't control the time , nor asked anyone to be the time keeper, so, you are easily became audience of some high ranking officers. however, some of them were so interesting, so amazing and so inspiring.

it is the first time I've encouter with so many elite from goverment, acrossing department, a lot to learn and a lot to think, this is the first night, wife is nice enough to bring me my cloths for exchange, she is not happy tonight, so we took a ride to Wulai, buying some preserved food, and then she drove me back to the hotle - where I am going to stay on Thursday and Friday night for 6 weeks. what an experience.

I should starting my life all over again, at least, keep the diet and do some exercise, TaiChi tomorrow morning is the first test to me. keep it up.

Greeting from Wenko

I received a very warm greeting from Wenko Real-estate, I know it was instructed by Wang Sher, since the letter to him send 3 weeks ago, finally, a posive response arrived. it happened when I check the mail via my M600i, at Brother's Restaurant . for my consultation in 11 street, this is a matching session between.

The morning unhappiness almost kill the appointment, when reaching the time for departure, ice melting, drove on the hightway Number 3, we arrived at Gold Mountain County ( Jin Shang ) by 11:00 am, less than one hours on the road.

the match came from the idea of Fan, she is consider to transform on of his resturat to Caffeteria, to convert it to lunch box market with Caffeteria , and to ultilize the kictchen space and facility. amazingly good idea. the connection with Kao Hung Long came a long way, we are not so familiar when in the army, he is the chef for General, I was an officier indirctly admin some of them, we went out for momuvoure several times, via the Majoy Wu, we connect and contact all the time, it's been 20 plus years, and he return to his home town Jin Shang to run 3 type of cooking business - trading shark fin stock, open the benquest hall, deliver carter service and now into the franchasing trial, I called him an entrepurnur in his field, And I know this is not a overstatement to him.

Got my sweety sweat chewing gun, will try it the first time today at the opening of National Development Research Class, I am pretty much excited to be student agian and treat if a good strat to change some of my habit : such as eat less, exercise more.

Eating too much meal yesterday, at lunch, at dinner - the dinner with formal managers of So-net, again, I book Black Light Fire... a banquest so to speak. I love the food there, really. only 5 of them show up, but it doesn't matter...

Piano by Peter

I was attracted by the melody, when Peter's sister play the tune at the restaurat, the first response to me is : this is the perfect piano masterpiece for Chen Ruibin, and it can be used as the theme for Taiwan High Speed Railroad commercial. it's about 10 minutues, doesn't like Peter's previous work at all, Celine gave a good footnote to it : a ECM similar.

We went to THSR yesterday afternoon, simply because Mr. Hsu apply the membership for WBCSD and it is approved by the managment team, he called Kim and wish to have a session about how THSR can perform CSR appropriately.

Mr. Shu is a mild Union Leader, althought I have no idea is there's such an Union in THSR, then he told me how he work to be elected at Employee Welfare Committe Member, and how he play to revolutionary the machanism of spending money in smart way.

I came up with a Great ( well, to my flatter ) theme for the employee eco-trip, which is " Speed Rail, Slow Life " to explore the culture / eco / historial / community at 6 major Station Areas. and to conduct a corporate " Working Holiday " or corporate volunteering ... Mr. Shu share with us a project he initatate couple years ago, the Puli " Eco-Farm " project, he assemble 500 people to support 10 Cha farm at Puli, and encourge farmer to change the farming machanism to Eco Farm. a great campaign, for 3000 NT per head, it earned the headline for THSR without designing too much decoration of PR. what means true, come real.. Yes.

Wife is not happy about something yesterday, I know it's about my parent, but not aware of the detial, because she don't talk, it make my uphappy too, why I have to suffer after her upset, it affect me, and I am deeply uncomfortable about the unfairness, why should I take this ?

Scent from text message

I recapture the scent from your text message, it hit my phone 20 minutes after our brief talk, the talk about my lost feeling, lost in connect my simply mind with your precise mind. I disclose my hesitation to you, as I open the dialogue with you for so many times.

We talk, but we don't chat, it cause me unsasy, whenever I need to open my mouth, I have to open my heart, pause for what I am going to let go, this wasn't me, the person you described as " Innocent " ( I intepreted it as Naive ), I lost the excitement of shooting in the air without thinking too much, the freedom of being free in front to you, but it changed, changed as the business developed, and the presure of being somesone instead of the person I used to be... at least the comfort me at you, I won't mind to leave the comfort zone, I won't mind to take responsibility furthur, but, the hesitation to share keep me in some kind of dark, because I am afraind of making mistake, the mistake of not thinking well throught before speak. is it a training? or I am not deep enought to digest?

Yes, it will impact on my confidence in a lot of things, and the depandance on obtainging your ideas before express it externally cause me another problem, the problem of being puppy of someone else, if my confidence level lower, I am not sure about everthing we did, I can only bridge, help or assist, never own, scare to probe and afraid of take control....

I am glad to see the text message, I am not asking for some kind of comfort, but to recap on the true and real feeling, the feeling of being oneself, the feeling of why doing this together, so hard, so difficult and so inreversable.

Second run movie becoming a health routine for my after work entertainment, it is less-expensive, more relax and much fun -- sometimes you don't feel like going to the opening run of some movie - simply because you don't like the Chinese translation of the movie title, by visiting second round movie theater, you discover some great films from your lost search.

tonight, we go the one " Meet the Robinson's " a great animation produce by the famous Disney, it promote the positve thinking ( Keep Moving Forward ) and the family valuse, and with the flavor of creativity and fun, I enjoy it very much, as it echo to what Walt Disney said decades ago, leave a strong impression to me, I recall the process of Disney recruiting and had an emotion to write message to the recruitor, we may miss each other if some end don't catch up, and it will be a great lost for each party, a company who produce film like " Meet the Robinson" earn my respect deeply.

" Wild Hog " is a mid-life crisis nostagia movie, it do capture the heart of mid-age Americans, or the people who grow up with the American Heritage. fun to see.

Couching a medicine doctor

I become a frequent visitor to a new Italian restaurant - Black, Fire, Light, the restuarnt is run by Peter's youngest sister, a soprono from Italy, together with Peter's daughter New-New ( her nick-name ), my first visit was to celebrate our Tax Return submission, the entire csrCommunity group have a gathering dinner, the crusine was extreaming good, beyond everyone's expecatation, so, I decided to put my recent personal and business meal there. it never disappoint me, the more I visit, the more I enjoy the food, ambience, it seems like I had an Italian kitchen, ready anytime.

today, I make appointment at the restaurant with Chi-Hung, a long time friend who's now a famouse doctor in shoulder and elbow operation, he had problem with administration and management, as head of deparatment, without proper training to be a manager, without decent experience in managing people, it's a big headache for him, we talked about this pain in the ass the first time after the Michael Roche session, the is the sequeal after the conversation, I am not solving his problem, but to share my experience with him and provide my viewpoint as professional manager before, doctor is a rare person in the world, how to manage and lead is pretty much like managing talent, I love to share it with him

Chang Mei - Peter's sister interupt during the lunch, I don't mind at all, she inform me about a Piano solo Peter worte which were never release before, she will have talented piaonist from Italy to perform it on July 21 - the memorial concert... I am so curious about the meloday, Chang Mei play it for me, so sweet , so beautiful, it connect me with Chen Rei Bing - the fast hand pianoist who we may polish with the blessing of Stan's fondation, and I had a picture of THSR commercial in my mind also, the speeding train with the elgent and fast piano turne, it's a perfect match, I know someone's there leading.

Candy miss / or the other way around - I miss the appointment , take taxi to Alexzenda for my commitment, she wasn't there, call her up and find 0ut she is doing the store check now, I am not sure if she's telling the turth, but the instinct told me that she don't need my help urgently, or this is the syphotom of people in great depress, catching everyone and talk, hungry for the help and any kind of social support. I don't know, but to leave the venue after the brief phone conversation; my decision is to be passive, not too aggrestive in her business, if she really need, have her to contact me first.

Fruit will join the school graduation trip from Weds. give her 1000 NT for pocket money, after summer, she will be Junior 3, ready for the tough Senior High School entrance examination. it's tough to be student now, we promise to conduct Kenting trip this summer, the only window open now is between July 22 to July 25. try to make it.

Tom Wait

I am disappointment about Tom, although the Karma things make me not too upset. but I can't help myself wondering why the bad feeling keep hitting me when conduct conversation with him these days.

I should not take credit about introducing him to the current job, and should not take it for granted that there should be something ( anything ) in return from this assistance, but as a human, I can't stand such a No Thanks You reaction from an old friend, an old classmate; I tried to find him a reason to relief, find me a reason not to wasting too much time in wordering why.. all the maybe lead to a imperfect family he grows up.

Why hiding me from all the information hold? why call me only in his jeoperdy in career crisis? and the redicuously thing is why treat me as a competitor who will steal his credit or suffer his career? this is another learning, learning of grating your help to someone is limited to someone's acceptance of your kindless. in Chinese old saying, a rude but realitic metaphore : Hot Face put on someone's Cold Bud. No complian anymore, because this is a waste of time, energy and positive thinking.

Cheng Kao and Fushing are both great, help nephew without a question, her entrance to vocationally high way were help by them. I apprecaite how they value me this way.

Forest School graduation ceremoney took place yesterday, as an agreement with my wife, activity exploure to sun is Father's duty, in fact, I enjo attending this althernative education system's event, because, they think and act so diffierently, I can learn a great deal from it.

Been participate on gradution ceremoeny several times, so, I may analye to the model of the content:
1. High grade students will mix with graduation grade ( 5 and 6 ) to performing a musical of choice -- everyone had a role in the play and will perform it outdoor.
2. Major charactor in the graduation ceremory is those who graduate, the ceremony will open with a story of each child, a photo-slide show produce by the teacher and with her narrotive when broadcasting the slides, this is the first tear trigger, you see the grows of kid from the slides, physically and mentally and hear how the teachers describe those baby in detail.
3. Gratuates accept their graduation document with gift produced by teachers - this is a custom made photo album and hand sewed wonder bag.
4. Gradutes lean and deliver their gratitude on stage, accompany with their parent who also express their best wishes to their kids, the seond tear bomb erupt this time, not only the gradualte, most of the parent can't help burst out crying.
5. Celebration performance in sequence : those who not gratuate sing songs for graduate, graduates sing songs for everyone, gratduate parent perform for everone, and teachers performs for everyone.
6. A feast of Caffeteria prepre by the school for every attendee.

always touching too see how itimacy the teacher / children and family melt in the ceremony, no wonder this time parent contribute the song " Heaven of Happiness " to all the kids. this is nothing but the truth. Sound is so lucky, we are so lucky, wife asked who should her express on stage 2 years later, how about : Without Forest School , there's no Sound, I response with a logic error, and correct it to : Without Forest School, there's no Sound Today..she will be all tears.

Celine release her temper when I disclose the idea of helping Ma She Fan -- she was stereotype about the kid, I don't mind to listing to her judgement or prejedice, but the statement of " Client is a shared resourece to the company " kept me thinking... right and wrong, good and bad, if I am the only person who access to so called " Client ", what's the point being challenged? if this retroice stands, then whoever client I brougt in, everyone in our company should pay decent respect to it and never ever get soure, right... it kept me wonder... I didn't get mad, I know her much better than before.

Learning from Ray / Matther / Ejiri, whatever you have chance to take biz trip, try to see as many contact as possible, no matter is there's a chace for doing business.

New forum is very acdemic this time, J.WW is so knowledgeable about histroy / geography and so emcycropedia... Antothy is so balances and risk taking... Danile is quite with passion....it grows orgaically.

to grow a business, follow the 72 rules, and to grow businee you should combine organic and m&a .. to manage a thousans of empoyement, you can't rule out from the regulation you lays. Shan Shi merchant are Pure Merchant, no Confusion mearchant....Ming - the dynasty of terror, interity and new rules.
