Twilight Series

untitled

Is my latest interest. I know it’s bit too late to share as the books and movies were out since last year. The next movie “New Moon” will be realeased in November 2009. Hooray :)

The main actor, Robert Pattinson is not really gorgeous but there is something about him in this movie that swept the ladies off their feet. Simply Charming!!!! In this movie, Edward (Robert Pattinson) is a very romantic vampire alive.

Twilight Series:

Twilight- Stephenie Meyer’s First novel Twilight is a gripping journey through the united worlds of fantasy and high school. As soon as I started reading Twilight, I couldnt stop. The plot is the thing that led me to the book in the start. Boy meets girl, girls like boy, boy turns out to be a vampire. The characters are so vivid.

New Moon- second book in the Twilight Series. It details Bella’s 18th birthday and Edward and his family throw her a birthday party; and also Jacob Black, a werewolf.

Eclipse-third book. It continues the story of 18-years old Bella and her vampire love, Edward.

Breaking Dawn-is the fourth and final novel. It split into three parts: The first details Bella’s marriage and honeymoon with Edward. The second part is about the perspective of werewolf, Jacob and throughout Bella’s pregnancy and childbirth. The third part is Bella finding herself changed into vampire and enjoying her life and abilities.

The Confusion

读了Ken的博客文章, 觉得蛮有意思的. 特此分享.

The CEO requirement

One day, Maco had been asked to go into his CEO room. The CEO tells Maco to design a mock for a moving vehicle that able to send him from destination A to destination B. After a very big story on his CEO requirement so Maco went back to his place and try to digest his CEO requirement.

Requirement study

Maco went back to his place and do his requirement studies. After a while on the study, he suddenly found out that he did not know whether the CEO wants a sedan car, luxury car or a MPV.  He started to get confuse as every type of vehicle is actually able to meet the requirement but different type of vehicle had different of spec in doing the mock. So he plans to ask Area Manager for more details on what actually the CEO wants.

The proper planning

Maco went to Area Manger to get for further clarifications. Maco brings out all his concern to the Area Manager and brings all the studies to him. The Area Manager found it very serious and he suggested proper planning need to be executed in order to have the best mock up present to his CEO. The Area Manager decided that he will call up all the Department Head to have a meeting and going to provide a statistic on which type of vehicle that best suit the current market.  After hearing the planning, Maco starts to get relief and continue back his daily task.

Nothing had planned

One month later …….. Sales Manager come to Maco and asked him about the status of the design. Maco get shocked as he is still pending the decisions on the Area Manager. He told the Sales Manager that the Area Manager had promised to come out a statistic on which type of vehicle should design. The Sales Manager also shocked as he had been told from the CEO that he needs the proposed design on next month but now actually nothing had been proceed.  Maco started to get blur, so he planned to go back to the Area Manager to ask for the statistic.

Back to basic

Maco rushed to the Area Manager Room to get for explanation. Maco asked whether the statistic had come out from different department. Area Manager once again seriously answer to Maco that the statistic still haven’t come out, but he told Maco in order to safeguard yourself please design a mock of sedan car, luxury car and a MPV for CEO to choose himself and this will never go wrong.

The End

Maco  (T_T).

现代领导者必备的3个特质

备注:矽谷多元创投,远盟康健董事长作品

在今天这种全面全球化国际化,又变化诡异充满挑战的时代,最佳领导人应清楚展示3大条件与价值:

1.勇敢的承担力与包容力(To Be Responsible)

不久前经过一场经营团队大战。有家我主投的公司有2位优秀领导人,一位是与我共同创办公司的执行长,另一位是在外潜居,经我提拔进入公司一路上扬的朋友。

刚开始,这位朋友还可以与执行长合作。几个月后,他开始向我打小报告,说某某人如何懒惰或无能,我因为信任这位朋友,就采纳意见将情况妥善处理。

后来这位朋友大概因为取得我的信任,开始设法拔除异己,我忽然体会,这位表面口口声声在为公司的人,花了90%的时间批评与谋害他人,其实还不是为了巩固自己的地位?后来我不再支持这种背后批评的行为,他看到大势已去,连我一起批评。

一时间,屡屡遭受攻击的执行长,天天被批评,却没有反击。他说,这位朋友还有一些单项才能,公司可以用,他愿意想办法继续共事。

后来这位朋友被公司董事会革职。执行长则继续在艰苦环境里领导公司,迈向康庄大道。

越没有承担力与包容力的人,越会看到别人的不好,误以为只有自己最好。我年轻时就自以为聪明,其实天天在犯错,现在年纪大了,棱角磨光,逐渐能看到每个人的好处长处,人生好过多了!

永远看到与使用别人的好处,协助补足他的短处,就是勇敢的承担力与包容力!

2.区分真正的领导人与伪装者(To Complete & To Finish)

有位学位很高的人与我共事过若干年,他多次提出创业投资案,每次都叙述他的真知灼见如何高明。但在这些公司遇见困难时,他就批评别人不听他的意见,或没听他的领导,导致公司一蹶不振。结果,不出1、2年,这些由他启动的公司出问题或碰到困难时,他立刻用各种理由开溜。不过在众人面前,他却以非常有经验的角色靠着周围的强人狐假虎威。

这样的领导人,有时候短时间内不容易区分。我通常会直接问,你的事业与人生过程,究竟从头到尾完成过什么?如果发现,每项案子开始都是他的功劳,无法收尾却都是别人的错,就要小心了。我们应该让真正能够在艰苦环境里跑完马拉松竞赛的人出头才对。

3.以德服人,非以卡位服人(Leadership from the heart)

中国古语说,最好的领导人是要能够以德服人。我自己粗浅观察,领导地位有3种:一是经由结构架构的卡位得来的领导权威。

当年服兵役时,在军队里最怕带领训练的士官。这些士官经由官僚机构卡了一个好像对菜鸟新兵有无限威权的位子,就可以天天吆喝斥骂。可是一旦退伍,这种透过卡位得来的领导权立刻消失。

二是经由有条件的安排得来的领导权威。像是企业家第二代,在比较老观念盛行的华人圈子,父权子承似乎是天经地义,不过在欧美就不一定。

最乖的儿子不一定是最好的企业领导人。最近亚洲有些大财团,第二代不是因为内线交易被逮,就是过度嚣张玩弄金融而被通缉。这种凭借特权特殊安排而上任的领导人,并未经过历炼,受过辛苦挫败的操练。他们等于是长辈安排在公司边学边做,对企业不见得是福气,股东们可能要捏把冷汗。

反观,比尔盖兹与华伦巴菲特都讲得很清楚,他们只会将部分财产交给孩子,其他全部捐给慈善机构。他们清楚,经由特殊条件安排得来的领导力,很多时候禁不起考验。

三是经由众人的衷心敬佩与心服而自然建立的领导力。真正能收服人心的领导人,都有某些特质,包括对自己十分安然,接受真正的自己,幽默、宽容、勇敢、坚强、智慧、微笑,广纳百川,愿意协调歧异整合资源,愿意承担超出自己份内的责任。

如果你是位领导者,祝福您拥有以上这些新时代的新价值!如果你是位员工,正在寻找好的老板来依靠,祝福您找到一位能够承担大任的上司。
