Spouse Forum Training
My pilot show took place yesterday at Regent Hotel, for prepare this training, I spent like 20 more days in digest how the script and content should be, to be honest, even thought I have full confidence that it won't be a bad experience, but on the Model Forum Training session, I need to put more efforts before, it's a very energy and time consuming session, but once the module built, I am sure it will be a easy task for me in the years to come, what I NEED to exercise more is the Modeling the Meeting session.
The night before the training, I accompany Mark, Chen Shu, Celine,She Chen Cheng Tong and Shiao Hwan of SEE foundation to a late tea chat at the famous Tze Tung Lu tea house. come home by 11:30 pm, this is the main reason why the Model meeting session can't be 100% confidence to carry.
The training begin at 8:30 am, I arrived at Regent Club by 7:30 am, set up the PC, Music and Hand out, then Helen checked in , the first spouse who equipped with Forum experience in Scottland before was excited to learn if Taiwan can form such a Forum as she kept hearing that Forum is the value of YPO, I have been to Daniel and Helen's house at Shuzu on my Long Chen days, I was there for my Moon Festival if I was right. Danile is a very nice gentelman and Helen is a very independant lady, a model couple to me really. among the 8 attendee, I have shallow encounting experience are : Helen, Flora ( on our trip to couples' outing in Vietnam ), Jill ( the ADHD experience sharing together ) the rest of spouse were knew to me. follwoing is my profile in observation:
1. Adrine : easy going,
2. Sandy : eager for any growth session, not a happy person
3. Christine : can share, conservative and a business woman
4. Patricia : Man like, easy to be linked
5. Shrie : not able to tell now, but a team member.
Helen, Sandy, Jill and Flora ( Patricia ? ) love to read, so, whenever I quote book, they take note and even corrent me : such as Chasing Daylight instead of Shadow...in the afternoon, while Jill is hesitate to be the presenter and sharing the issue which to her is not urgent, I explained to her this is a role play to help me conduct such a training, a precise lawyer like her agreed, and finally, after the sharing session, I know she harvest in certain degree and understand why I pick her why the " Issue owner is the issue slover, the presentation lean to a more constructive, organized way for them " the group going deeper and deeper at the Presentaion session and they decided to forum a Forum immidiately, and I was asked to be the temporary moderator before next moderator training. I response positively under one condition, this have to be proved by Taipei Chapter.
I was exaugted after the training and I believe everyone did, take taxi home, had a quick vege dinner, to be relax, I tend to go to movies, asked Meiling to come with me to the " Shutter Island ", as the showing time is 9:45 pm, we take nap at the living room coach, I falling sleep and decided not to go out then, I really felt tired.
Second Kelung River pre Kick Off meeting hold on Thursday to Li Chun, I was there to show my support. and before the meeting, Celine honest told me 2 things:
1. consultant company will not make money, but meaning and the achivement of helping company change certain behavior , CSR is a good approch.
2. I need to think clear what I want to do next, for my past experience, I never earn money, but wait for someone to give me money ( on payroll in multi-national company )
Jay sent a greeting mail, an invitation tone, my response is to see him and Engenia next week, well, I didn't know Celine check there office alrady and have a wild dream of join there office, yes, I clearly told Celine this is Jay's company and Jay will never ever let anyone ( perticuy her ) to ruin his place... should I told Celine how Sherry describe her in front of Jay? this is the blind spot, a big blind spot to Celine.
Eric call and asked about having coffee next week, the Not in a hurry mood deliver the message of : I am going to tell you our corporation won't take place but friendship remains ", I am fine with this and should stick on the no pay, no service bottom line.

Nice in Suite
I was wearing Suite for the day without a tie, Meiling urge me not to look like a humble unemployed aged person. so, I decided to turn my image right away, to keep a leash and clean shape, it will ultimately move me to a better and brighter feeling.
That's how I started the day yesterday. after some house keeping ( including booking a wrong home stay for the Parent day on March 13th ), leaving home after cycling for a sweating 50 minutes, calling up the GPS taxi and heading for the lunch appointment with Matthew. he make reservation at Misusi - the expensive yet delicious Japanese restaurant located at the cross of Dun Haw Nan Rd and Civial Bolluvoard. I was there and as usual, he late for about 15 minutes - a reasonable window for accusing traffic in Taipei?
The communication starter is How we spend our Chinese New Year and the Habitute Domain of choosing Misuzi as our regular lunch venue. we were told always to leave the comfort zone, however, the old habit die hard, I am very impressed by his quit coffee for about 8 years, he told me he only take on coffee in Italy after decided not to consume Coffee, as I can remember, Matther addicted to coffee for many years, I knowe him at his late 29th and he is like drinking coffee like water, suffer ashmer seriously but keep a good exercise routine.
The idea of doing the wellness business is the few options I had right now, to team up with him it OK, although the drawing from temple at Taipeinshen show this is rank the 3rd in corporated with other opportunity. but Eric's might turn to ashes, and Louis, I don't think he is ready, for Matther, at least, he kept it in mind for years and try hard to bring me into the picture, how I convince myself this is a right step to go ? well, the extension of entertainment is leisure business and most likely it will toward a holistic wellness combine industry to comfort nowaday soul serching wandering mid-upper class people as there 40 / 50's. for the first 3 months, to put together a plan to solicite investor, there won't be any pay, I can sense it, and after we identify the angle or primary investor, we might begin to get paid, I am asking Matther to think on behalf of me, I am too tired of manipulate the structure now, the decent conversation with Eric is another lesson, but a good lesson.
Tom make an appointment with me around 3 pm, at Mossaci, the elegent English Tea house locate at Yung Kang Park, I was there a couple of times, this time, I really detected that Tom's EQ is below average, why to Report to me his current job at CHT and his play to deploy the project, I am not intrested at all, how come he never sense the need and request from the one who help him over? I don't really got it, to spend time with him is a totally waste of time, the string is now untack, there's no point to reconnect him again. he can't help, don't know how to help or ignoring the help needed. what a strager guy.
check in the blind massage center at Chi May, I have't been there for months, cause by the teechache, I tried to seek pain relief exit, walked up to the center, what suprise me is they assige me a female masssger, young with good looking face, I am wondering is anyone told her before, she is good in treating my body, escpecilly the leg, I feel really good after the one hour treatment.

ROBECO and Frances
I was there for printing matter, as long as csr community exist, I may take the advantage of 2 things : an offical business card with the title " Founder " and to use the office facility for free.... this is what I did yesterday, I was there around 1:30 pm, greeting to Celine and Kim, then Celine invited me to a meeting / chat with Frances Chang : CEO of ROBECO, an investment entity which focus much on the responsible investment / sustainable investment today, she point the future to li chun : the history repeats, if li chi dig and collect / analys data base hard enough, it may turn to the S.A.M ( Subsideray Asset management company under DJ - DJSI )version in Greater China. she is professional trained and very precise on goals, strategy and target, but I know there's no way Celine would like to get there : from her nature, from her behavior and from her goal in life, she is even conservertive than me, really. a good lesson to take while my teech pain killing me at the same time.
Check Regent Club for Friday FORUM FUNDEMENTAL TRAINING, it's OK, since this is not the first time VIP service doing this, and Ivory is a very capable lady also. Kitty will fly to Bacelona for GLC workshop tomorrow, a good new year gift to her, and I also prepare an oboriginal token for her, as she prepare extra job for me at coming training. what interesed me is : on Friday, I will be all alone, no YPO staff and officer, only me.. alone with 9 other spouse of YPOer.
Teethache coming back, I need to take medication, check in Borden Phamacy and asked for the pain killer, the prescrition care taker asked how come the denties didn't provide it to me yesterday? well, this I don't know either.
Meiling and I met at her gym and we go for a brief dinner, stopped by a neighboring newly open Shen Xi restaurant " Chin Feng Wei ", a very small, tiny and focus local restaurant, ther serve only 7 dishes with the price range between 60 -- 120 NT and offer some appertizer at counter, I saw 2 chef license on the wall, we order on traditional Shen Xi figure noodle soup, it is so delicious.
Meiling asked me to join the Confusin DVD session, the story is totally odd to the history we know, and I don't see a clue of what kind of audience the film wish to attract? Chinese ? Foreiger? I pose a big question mark to the director and producer. it's a pity to waste such a great actor : Chew Ren Fa.
Sending a greeting mail to Ker Sheng, I doube if she may check her email, but if she did, the simply greeting may let her feel better, if no response, then we can sense the brain tumor is a issue to her right now..

Sunday was the last winter holiday with Sound
Last Saturday, the day before Sound's new semester, we decided to have a spicy hot pot lunch with Meiling - the one we pick is located at Kung Quang. it offers all you can eat buffee style hot pot. Sound and I arrived earlier, make a reservation and we stroll along Ting Chew street.
The food is too much for me. after the unhealthy food. we both agree to have our hair cut at the near-by barber shop, I've been there once, run by 2 elderly women with skilled hands.. Sound have no objection about doing anything on Saturday.
The last activity before home on Saturday was go to Ya Tong hostipal to take my prescription heart medicine. Sound was fond in eating bread suddenly, so, we bought enough bread for him on our way home.
When check up the winter homework, we found History is the class assignment we miss, turn on the PC, browsing information, we managed to finished it by 11 pm. iPhone games are Sounds' best campaign during this winter, he played until one in the morning..
I feel a little bit sad when thought about his departure , the intimacy build over the winter was so tight, Sound become my best friend -- especially at my current situration : between jobs and between opportunity, less external communication and no one can really share things together. Sound became the primary pillar to my soul building. we talked and discussed almost everything, including his mother, sister and grand mother. I am so enjoy the time spend with him. awar of his domitary life begin on Sunday, I am feeling sad and a little bit lonely. I means, a sense of lost occurs.
As I am a little bit concern about the New Year traffic, urge every family member woke up earlily on Sunday. we left house by 7 am, and what a surprise, the traffic is even better than usual, we stopped at Chin Sui rest area by 8:45 am and stayed there until 11 am.
Sound checked in Pu Tai by 12:05, supposely, I am prepared to be with him until the last call for gathering : according to the parent instruction, the time is 12:50, but Sound changed to a young adult, stop my at the door of domitary and give me a very light hug -- very different from what we did at home, and wave me good bye. I know he is ready for the model in school , physically and mentally.
counting back the days we spend during the 32 days of winter?
1. we go to more than 5 movies togeter.
2. we ate together and buying books for 5 times.
3. we watched the mini serise at home for 20 hours.
4. we bath together once.

7. half of the time, Sound slept until noon
8. we doing the school home work together
9. we went to Taichung over night and have great time to a Tamsui tour together.
Monday is a new day for everyone, the empty house feel so quite, Meiling is alone ranger, she plan her schedule to work out, the line from a book up to me so clearly : If you are not in jail, never self-prison yourself. I am shock about what I might experienced after, in the time and space between jobs, real change will happen, I should be clever enough to bail myself out of the self-prison cacoon.
In the morning, returning book to neighboring City Library, met with old time friend and colleage Same at Starbucks Kong Quang - to celebrate the back-to-work day, Starbuck offer buy one get one free campaign, you can see the line for a half-price good taste latte or americano.
Sam spent 2 hours telling me his China experience, bazzar and real, earn no money, generate some relationship but hard to be access to future. Sam is curious about why I invtied him for a drink once receive his greeting message, well, I didn't explained it too much, Sam is 47 years old, a veteran music man, nice and naive guy. his idea of putting insititution big shot into one database and to link with some tele-communication player and device manufacture.... I am no sure. but I am really impressed about his finacial management and can endure with no income for 2 years.
Spend my noon time at Library again for the Forum Fundemental training material : the work load is pretty heavy. but I have confidence to do it well on coming Friday.
The dental appointment set by 2:30 pm, Mr. Chen's dental clinic, a walking distance between home and library, the young doctor is less experience, the X-ray shows no big problem with my teeth, but how it hurt me for the past few days, especially on my left-hand head? if the pain is not cause by my teeth? then what will it be? I need a few days to find it out.
Home for unfinishing Forum training materials and waiting for Meiling to return home.

A very length conversation with Eric
I am not sure if " To discuss everything before partnership " is a good strategy to take or not, but the lesson I learned in the past was if some hidden agend didn't disclose before shake hand, mis-communication and mis-understanding will mess up all the good intention in building business while keeping friendship. this is why when Eric knocked on my door before Chinese New Year asked about the future corporation, I told him that I have to think it all over and not to repeat my neglect of working ground again. and the long converation with Eric took place yesterday from 3:30 pm to 8:00 pm at the newly open department store : The Station.
It was raining and cold, I never felt such a cold before, probabely it contribute to the wet weather, so, I checked my iphone on the taxi, it is 12 degree, so chilly. The station is a warm place, during the new year holidays, crowd are gathering at public places such as theaters , scenic spots, amusement park and department stores, The Station to me is like a huge stadium, as it's the champion season for super ball, so many people floating at the groud, seeing , buying and eating ( the most ), I trust pocket picker love the place.
Eric and 2 team mate were at Starbucks, an architechture and John : the interesting guy who run Sun Way Bio. I step in their conversation and learned the project Eric running is " Hello Kitty Amusement Park " a festival similar concept to create a temperory amusment park for entertaining target customers ( kids below 12 and there parent / grand parent ), not a bad idea to start a new company on the exhizibition domain. the estimate investment is around 150 millions NT and the profit forecast is more than 100 millions, this is what I post a doubt on as they shoot for the 1 million attendee. never mind. the risk is mild, the only risk are : safety of the audience in the park, prevention hugh equipment damage during the typhoon season and some nature cause, safety of the beverage and food offer in the park. it should be a good business. I didn't share much of my thoughs when listen to their conversation, but to offer on idea on location selection : Taipei Zoo skirt -- The Zoo Mall area, as it almost run out of business, but the infransturace were there, facility can be reuse and it provide a good identity of kids garden - it's at the ZOO, it might create the effect of shooing 2 birds with one stone.
The rest of our time with Eric along is the conversation I prepared to go over with Eric, when took out my 4 pages memo, Eric is a little bit shock, he might not think of I will conduct such a serious talk, then asked if he may borrow my pen and paper.
I set the ground tone first, all I want to deal is the business side of this future corporation, why I am doing it is for keeping the good friendship with him and the well communication before hand is aiming for building a block of partnership. I am no sure if my prerequisite really pay off as I started my conversation with a very sensitive topic : Who make the final decision? Eric told me this is an open question and there won't be concrete answers, his experience told him if investor contribute money only and can say nothing about the business or join some business decision, problem will occure and he had such a bad experience, what I share with him is : How we define the professional manager and respect his / her business insight and integrity to conduct a successful business, Eric insisted that Western way is differently from Chinese way of managerment, we spend like hour discuss and debate on this topic, I like this, this is what I want him to think befor we shake hands.
Sensitive topics continues with : Authorization, Reporting, Human Resource decision, Method of communication and the working ethic and believes, for working ethics, I address on the " not a one call summon, appearing immediate working prinspal " this is what I hate about , the bossy boss, and how we see the working hours and working places. I know Eric is not favor with my viewpoints such as : If my sobodinate work until 2 am, to show my leadership, I must stay and win respect from this colleage, my point is totally different : I will asked why he must work at midnigh and see if there's a need for me to stay with him, then identify solution to change this behavior or replace this person..... The more I dig the sensitive issue, the more I admired the auther who write " The little black book about entreprenure ", you don't really want a partner if you don't really need it, or if the partner contribute on cash only, it will be fine..so, this is not the debate about east vs west, but human nature and human behavior.
The final part is the financial reward : for the project base, the gap is not huge, only the matter of 1 million project fees OK with the investor or not, although Eric emphesis on this is a learning proces without spending too much effor and time, only concentrate on buidling the future team, but I told him everything have cost, what if in 6 months, the project complete but the company will not establishing, then how should I caculate my risk? this is fine as there's a room for counter my fees. I will accept it when Eric return the call ( if he think the corporation terms is not an obstacle to overcome )
For the corporation part, I lay out the founder share , stock option, bonus and salary scheme for discussion, Eric is shocked, he never thought I am prepare to lay all the ground, he spend decent time explained to me the partnership should build on agreeable terms on " Fat salary or future bonus " since it will be critical for start up to spend too much on over head, of course, I fully understand his point, and I proces it once a few months before, but I need to address it, really to inform my need and want in advance, it everything is OK, then I should go my own way without finding partner or investor.
The end episode ? well, everything is open for negociation, but with a groud, I lay the ground and test the water of partnership, if it can't work out, we better not enter the corporation. for the project, I know my value and funtion is the figure head, to decorate the project and let it look good, a high level PR for the project and media, the cost of my brand need at lease 500.000, this is the bottomline to start. Now, I should took a passive attitude and wait for the call -- if any.
Eric told me that Brokens Bros. is working on U2 tour to Taiwan in Aug. ( Kaoshung Government offer a 50 millions co-investment ), well if the 360 degree concert come to Taiwan, will be the biggest entertainment news. in April, they will book Bob Dylan at Nankang convention center, woo, pretty risky, my wild guess is 50000 audience maximum, but, I shall be there, right? Mum.. too much concert, too little audience, too expensive tickets.
Am I finally falling in the entertainment sector? am I, or how to bring up the scale of entertainment business in Taiwan / China, or why should I do this?
Eric sold his Sun Way share to Danny, Green Battery share to Yeh Ko Yi, the cash he collect should be in his new investment private fund. I guess.
Now, my turn to thik the pros and cons in Eric's initaitve:
1. Is it a step to entreprenurship? if the answer is YES, I should well degist the little black book again.
2. Am I choose the right industry with my passion, capacilty and belive?
3. Should I identify Eric a right partner ? and who's behind? the assigning 2 executives will definetly create a " Workload - Performance - Contribution - Fairness " syndrome, how should I face it?
4. Is this project turn company approach help me achive my goals and dream in reality?
Oh Yes, we finally make our trip to Keelung on Monday , and ate some not so great temple vendor foods. and Sound raise temper when Meiling suggest to buy him new sports shoes, yes, the temper is the Gene in him. we can only bare with it.
It was raining and cold, I never felt such a cold before, probabely it contribute to the wet weather, so, I checked my iphone on the taxi, it is 12 degree, so chilly. The station is a warm place, during the new year holidays, crowd are gathering at public places such as theaters , scenic spots, amusement park and department stores, The Station to me is like a huge stadium, as it's the champion season for super ball, so many people floating at the groud, seeing , buying and eating ( the most ), I trust pocket picker love the place.

The Plastic
On New Year Day, I woke around 10 am and decided to watch one wake up film, turn up the PPS and browse the documentary section, I choose the Plastic, this is quite an educational film, it covered varies area in Plastic and Human, Enviorment and the Solution today. my learning from the film: Use less plastic as much as possible, for the earth, for the health and for the better tomorrow.
Sound slept unitl 3 pm, I asked Meiling not to wake him up and see how good he can stayed on bad, this winter, I told Sound it's a physically not healthy , mental healthy winter for him, No exercise, over-eating and not following the daily life routine, on the other hand, build a even stronger itimacy with father, knowing the family more is the upside, I do worried that on the new semester, Sound will suffer the rigid school rules in the first few days.
Returning my holiday greeting message to friend. this year, Danny, Jamie, Andrew, the 3 forum brothers didn't send the holiday greeting, well, I didn't do it at the first place.
we dicided to go out by 4 pm, taking the North Coast Highway, we stop at Keelung but skip the temple vendor street strolling as there are too many people waiting for the parking, turn to the coast highway, McDonald become our diner room, 7-11 golden sand beach store is the recreation stop. we take the routine and finally drove to Shen Keng old street for walking, the old street operate later than before, not much to eat, not much to see, during the Chinese New Year holidays, people in the south move north and north go down south. we are wondering why there are more than one 5 star hotel in Shen Keng? I don't really get it.
Slept with Sound at the top floor - study room, promise him a sleep out of the house, do, we decided to do it together, the first 2 hours turn to the mosquito fight, we eliminate 4 mosquitos...
This is the New Year Day, Eric return with the message of seeing each other in 2 days. a lot to think, a lot to discuss..

Happy Chinese New Year
As last year, we planned to take a hot spring bath before New Year Eve dinner, Sound and Fruit didn't want to go, so, Meiling and I stepped out of our door by 8:00 am and heading for Wu Lai Paulside Hot Spring Resort.
The weather is cool for the hot spring, cold and raining, Meiling is a good hot spring bath taker, she can stayed for a day, I am not, everytime I go to hot spring, 40 minutes is the maximum time I am endurance in the hot water, then I will feel dizzy and sleepy.
The book I bought day before help me spent decent time at the hot spring resort, The Spirit of Day is a collective infomation digest by 2 author, and it really help me to think how to appreciate my diay life, especially in the beginning of Chinese New Year.
I like the story and mataphore about the Dayfly, and the Living Today as your Life sincerely, and I am very into the death warning mataphore the writer point out from there trip to Italy.
Picked up the new year eve dinner at Howard Plaza Hotel, it became a good business to them. very organized, we arrived home by 3:30 pm and Meiling preparing other hot dishes for our early dinner.
Red envolop is a bad habit in our family as the elder expecting money and the younger wish to spend her luxury life, no feeling to give at all, just a routine , a bad routine.
Meiling went to see my father in law after our early and quick dinner, she said the fortune teller predict that one of her parent will pass away in 3 years. well.
And I took time to watch one great film from PPS : The Blind Side, Sandra is a great actress and the true story is so touching, amazing encourging film, I can't complain the correctly of translation from PPS, if you follow the subtitle they traslated, you will be lost. it's 60 percent wrong, I have to be very concentrate on listing, good practice for me.
The New Year wish from Meiling is to sit at the coach watch TV until falling asleep, so Sound and I help her make her wish come true, we went up to bad after midnight... some new year greeting message flow in, I am not hurry to reply or response.

Day before year of the Tiger
I decided to take Sound to movies before Chinese New Year, the one day Indoor outing make our relationship even closer. Go to the movies on Chinese New Year is a routine I developed ( or perhaps most of Chinese ) for decades. I remembers when I was in high school / colleage, made appointment with Wei Kou Lieng and go to the movies together on Luner New Year was a tradition, after the first screeing, either he came to my house for lunch, or I did it the opposite way, then switch to dinner each other, it goes for years and the memory kept in my heart for years. Now, I had a new companion - Sound, I don't know how long this routine of new partner can last... I recalled a title of a book " The validation for parent and children relation is 10 years ", I am lucky to have the longest winter vacation in life and spend really quality time with Sound this winter.
We had a few plans in mind : go to one movie, take some new year gift from csr community office and go to another movie. when waited for the MRT, I discussed with Sound what is the appropriate way to do with the gift, he said we should leave it to csr community colleage since we were there pick up gift once already ( or twice ), we had this conversation yesterday, my response is " What if we found some gift fit his mother ? " we may keep it for our own and distribute rest of the gifts to others... finally, we agree on this is not a good way to handle this issue, if we left what we are no interested in, how will people think? not checking any gift, we won't have the preferance of taking any of them... Sound is mature enough to deal with this issue.
And he disclose 2 interesting thought to me, one is his business idea, he want to build companies, earn enough money, then hand it over to other and start to Play - enjoy what he is interested. my response to him is " The real case in life is, people don't really know what is Enough ? ", the second one is even he got married, he don't want to have any child, I asked why? he said to me that being buried in the over-complained world about kid problem, how can he dear to keep child of his own? Sound is talking about her mother's complain about Fruit all the time... and I paraphse him and asked : Now we know who ranking number on in our complain championship, right? " I though he will agree with me that Fruit is The most complained family member, to my surprise, Sound said grand mother is the champion? I don't have a clue why as we don't really talk, Sound is the only family member who will go to his grand mothers' room and chat / play with her... Sound then shared with me that Grand mother complain about not enough money all the time... I feel so sad when heard it, this is really a bad bad news to me. how come an old lady living in such a comfortable way don't feel enough? how come she never think why her son stop talking to her? I agreed that Meiling is a little bit too cynical, but the selfish of my mother build the wall between us.. if not because of Sound to disclose this information unintentionally, I will never understand that my mother still complain about me....Why I always been treated like a cash cow? it's been so many years. why and why...YES, now I am complain, I should not complain any more and jump in the pool of the family of complain.
Percy Jason , the movie is a good choice for Chinese New Year, it should be a big box office in Taiwan, Sound enjoyed it very much and asked if there's sequel. " Book of Eli " is an interested one, Sound and I figured out the book Eli covers in his back pack is Bible at the same time. the story is simply, but pretty powerful...I think there is certain religious support behind this movie.
consume too much meal while Sound at home, this is no good to me, I should not take father and son itimacy as an execuse, really.

Avatar and others
I started my day earlier yesterday, it was cause by the family routine " Quarrels between mother and daughter ". I have to move myself to the MRT station one hour before the meeting schedule. but I am OK, as I checked in one fruit shop and prepare 2 boxes of Wax Apple for seniors at Himalaya Foundation: Mr. Han and Mr. Kong.
Early lunch with Jasmine / Jay and Eugenia, Eugenia arrange the appointment at Honda, one of my favorite Japanese restaurant. a normal update and chat, Jay and Eugenia didn't mentioned anything about my 1000 share ( 10.000 investment ), Jay told me office will be ready after Chinese New Year , and I have a seat to stay. I hardly can recall what subject we went over at lunch, very loose and causal.. anyway. just lunch.
Follow the coffee with Louis and his sister Joshphe, Louis updated me his idea about Himalaya Foundation and how he met with Mr. Kong and inform his interest, my advise to Louis is : Keep Mr. Han in the loop and follow the legel procedure before inject any fund in the Foundation, as for me, I told Louis that he may inform both seniors that Roger support his idea, period.
Joshphe is an Avatar Master, which means she spent 28 days and about half a millions NT on the training before qualifed herself a Master. similar to Asia Work, Avatar promote the self concious in a mild way, according to Josehphen, Asia Work is a little bit violence. I tried to probe the business model these " Growth Group " inheret and come up with my finding:
This is a system of multi-layer sales , but the underline is intangeble service : self conseces and growth, HQ act as Central Kitchen provide classes, certification, tools and sales kits, then you develop your customer at your territory and come back recharge ( with charge ) for renewal or new product education. I took one book : mini course the 7 pillar and one DVD - a class VCR by founder of Avatar , Mr. Harry Palmer.
The price for selling Avatar basic is 75000 NT. not cheap, I don't think its a easy task, you can only get your client from those who at your circle of life. watched the DVD at night, to be honest, it not very attractive, Avatar have been there for 30 years ( since 1984 ), there must be some secret I havn't discovered yet.
Ren asked my help in connecting his web game company to Japan -- a bit of ridicious, he must forgot how he played with us a few months ago, when Yi Fang need to raise new fund, we were approched early and we committe to follow, but in the end, we were dumpped and he go with the strategic partner I recommended. and now, when need a new way of developing business, Ren came to me? am I too naive or too easy to forget those bloody lesson? why not asked his strategic partner to give them a hand? I don't really get it, of couse, I keep my gentle outfit as usual, put on a smile and said " Should, I will asked my friend in Japan ". Ren also need income stream, need job, he is been away from corporate for 6 months. interesting. I brief my task to him in a very surface status. the Only benefit from that coffee is get to be invited to their Monday Ping Pong exercise, this is good for me acturally.. People really forget about how they treat people when in need.
Taiping shen retreat is the title show today, 3 together without Fruit. we arrived at the peak Chieng Nan Temple ( The Japanese thrine before World World 2 ) by one oclock, I pick 3 bamboo strew for checking my future partner, 3 all fine, but with degree of greatness. Eric rank number one, Louis number 2 and Matthew is number 3... interestion ranking and intersing intepretation. on our way down the hill, I visited the just reopned Chi-Lan Forest Resort, I love this place especially when seeing all the Taiwness monkey greeing us in wild, what an amazing cheerful feeling. it uses to be a summer house for late President Chiang Kai Shek, surround by trees , river and mountains, great view, I think it is an OT project and now open to public now..Matthew should take a look at this resort, what is lack of is software. really.
Drove down to Yun Seng Town, we feel hungry and can't stop the courisity of checking on little place : Lin family duck farm. it's a Taiwaness Duck Range combine with restaruant and some educational activity. we were there by 4 pm and order 2 kinds of duck cuisine. the food is amazing good. so tasty. it make our Taipinshen retreat a perfect ending before drove through Shesne tunnel.
In Taiwan, one country, one specility become a successful model, we can see / eat / learn differt things at 319 county in Taiwan. take Yung Shen country as example : The Fat I Lan Duck, the fishball with rice noodle, pickles and preserve fruits are 3 major delicacy... it's lucky to be Taiwaness.

This is a system of multi-layer sales , but the underline is intangeble service : self conseces and growth, HQ act as Central Kitchen provide classes, certification, tools and sales kits, then you develop your customer at your territory and come back recharge ( with charge ) for renewal or new product education. I took one book : mini course the 7 pillar and one DVD - a class VCR by founder of Avatar , Mr. Harry Palmer.
The price for selling Avatar basic is 75000 NT. not cheap, I don't think its a easy task, you can only get your client from those who at your circle of life. watched the DVD at night, to be honest, it not very attractive, Avatar have been there for 30 years ( since 1984 ), there must be some secret I havn't discovered yet.
Ren asked my help in connecting his web game company to Japan -- a bit of ridicious, he must forgot how he played with us a few months ago, when Yi Fang need to raise new fund, we were approched early and we committe to follow, but in the end, we were dumpped and he go with the strategic partner I recommended. and now, when need a new way of developing business, Ren came to me? am I too naive or too easy to forget those bloody lesson? why not asked his strategic partner to give them a hand? I don't really get it, of couse, I keep my gentle outfit as usual, put on a smile and said " Should, I will asked my friend in Japan ". Ren also need income stream, need job, he is been away from corporate for 6 months. interesting. I brief my task to him in a very surface status. the Only benefit from that coffee is get to be invited to their Monday Ping Pong exercise, this is good for me acturally.. People really forget about how they treat people when in need.
Taiping shen retreat is the title show today, 3 together without Fruit. we arrived at the peak Chieng Nan Temple ( The Japanese thrine before World World 2 ) by one oclock, I pick 3 bamboo strew for checking my future partner, 3 all fine, but with degree of greatness. Eric rank number one, Louis number 2 and Matthew is number 3... interestion ranking and intersing intepretation. on our way down the hill, I visited the just reopned Chi-Lan Forest Resort, I love this place especially when seeing all the Taiwness monkey greeing us in wild, what an amazing cheerful feeling. it uses to be a summer house for late President Chiang Kai Shek, surround by trees , river and mountains, great view, I think it is an OT project and now open to public now..Matthew should take a look at this resort, what is lack of is software. really.
Drove down to Yun Seng Town, we feel hungry and can't stop the courisity of checking on little place : Lin family duck farm. it's a Taiwaness Duck Range combine with restaruant and some educational activity. we were there by 4 pm and order 2 kinds of duck cuisine. the food is amazing good. so tasty. it make our Taipinshen retreat a perfect ending before drove through Shesne tunnel.
In Taiwan, one country, one specility become a successful model, we can see / eat / learn differt things at 319 county in Taiwan. take Yung Shen country as example : The Fat I Lan Duck, the fishball with rice noodle, pickles and preserve fruits are 3 major delicacy... it's lucky to be Taiwaness.

A race between Taiwanese and Chinese
Invited and seated at the Keelung River Alliance Preparatory kick off meeting yesterday at csr Community office. 30 minutes before the session, I had my VIAO wireless setting fixed, short chat with Celine and informed the close should be shut dowm by end of March -- according to Celine, Mr. Han inform Mr. Kong that he will move the office finally. if there's a perfect situation to describe what " Ultimate Letter " is, here we have the example. csr Community must move. and Celine didn't carry on her last conversation about closing the operation, pay back portion of the investment fund. I don't really mind, people changed, including me, if she wish to stick to where csr community is, I should support it.
The Kick Off was initative by Mr. Hochen himself, to my surprise, he memtioned that don't drag the liability to Chinese New Year, so the kick off finally took place, for those who were invited are Indivisuals in there own specility, a dynamic group Mr. Hochen wish to assemble for 6 months before officially trun it to an association or fundation. Celine and Ah Yu are prepared. Having attending many Hochen / Public Issue discussion, I kind of come out with a logic how Celine and Hochen behave in such meeting : Hochen will release his agenda, inviting others opinion, integrete missing part and lead to a conculsion broader but follow his thought. most of the time, Mr. Hochen will wrap up the meeting with a " To Do " reminder to everyone in the meeting.
and Celine: she will thinking simotemesly while everyone's talking and tackle on the Strategy in mind with a simply graphic - most of the time good one, her strategy in mind will be : Generate resource among all the ralated party and inject to one topic, Keep key stakeholder in mind, and create a Chinese vs Taiwanse competition and crisis awareness. it works all the time when it come to the " How we can loose the advance comparing and competition with China ? " and Mr. Hoche will turn his face red and produce energetic and encourging power. this is what I like it.
My role in such a meeting? well, pretty minor, to show my friendship support to Mr. Hochen consistenly and maybe come up with some marketing idea .. spending time with them were the value I can think of.
lunch with Yi Hwa for my insuracne status discussion, as a matter of fact, for almost 2 decades, I neglect in knowing my rights and benefit about insuracne, yesterday morning, after the short querral with Sound ( Yes, We did, when he turn a bad face to me while I am helping him doing his History homework ), I browse my insuracne online data and learn the situation:
1. Life coverage were around 10 millions NT. not many
2. Investment on insuracne is around 3 millions
3. from 2017, I can recieve 380000 cash as investment return till the day I die
4. next 2 years is the peak for my insurace payment, 400000 nt each year.
Yi Hwa suggest me to sell my house and I challenge her with their own property, this questioning don't let her feel comfortable. I know and I did it.
Receive 8 year end gift from YPOer, appreciate the routine those friends did for years. it rich my Chinese New Year.
The learing from present at new Forum : The Opposite of Listing is not Talking, is Waiting . what a insight..

Keep Waiting -- Keep Walking
I gave up the exercise idea at Regent in the morning before the new forum sit in lunch. I made the right decision as I don't have time to follow this initative. preparing and revising my presentation file and taking MRT to Regent Hotel, it was 10: 30. review what I going to said and mark footnote of my own, the time flew to 12:00.
Knocking the room 546 suit, the Forum Suit, I am glad to see Jocylee ane Ivory greeting me at the door, old friends from Regent VIP service, it was great to see them all the time, include the long time chief bartner - Jesse.
The What / Why and How to Retreat session presentation at the Forum lunch table went well, although I am not 100% agreed with David's " West Eat East " view point, but I think I managed my 30 minutes quite well and hopefully, the pilot retreat service can started with David's support.
Eric Tseng called in the morning and set up our coffee by 2:00 pm, it gave me no room for myself. I went to the IS coffee on An Ho road on the opsite side of Eslite bookstore Dun Nan store. Eric spend 30 minutes update the Health Supplyment company business and share with me how the thing going with Far East University - including drinks and the painting outcome. he set a good tone for coming up with a new partnership proposal -- never give up and knocking on everyones' door are what impressed me the most, this is Rric, who we belive will perform his come back show shortly. I knew he is interested in setting up another business domain - Entertainment, and I know he treat me as a rival 6 months ago when overheard I am on the same developing track, until a one month ago, he knew that I gave up the fund raising process, his attitude changed and I believe Danny smell something about the Win Win both Eric and me can strike... it lead to his proposal this afternoon. begin with a 6 months' project to exercise / rehears if the EVENT Domain entertainment is a good industry to jump. and if the stage we create worth the time and effort to continue-- and if to form a new company out of the project scope.
Eric sincerely wish me to openly describe what I think and want before we decided to go together again, I promise him to think it over and to provide him answer by the end of Chinese New Year holidays. the previous experience shed a bad influence to both of us, it taugh us we have to draw the line clear enought to see if we share the same value and I need to inform my need to him in advance as well. I am not going to be blur or fuzzy this time, thanks for " The little book about entreprenurship ", I better well draft what's in my mind and to lay out my way of rule / games.
Matthew share his dream again at Starbuck Eslite bookstore right after Eric's new partnerhsip invitation, he is sincree and asked me to come up with a risk discusstion table right after Chinese New Year. he really want to invite me as partner and conduct the feasibility study for 6 months.
My keep waiting lead to the 2 open discussion next week. now I better think how to make the following initative work in its own way : Louis Chen's Green and Executive Training / Jean Liu and her Moker management consulting / Forum Training .
And I need to spare time for helping Jay / Eugenia make less mistake in the new start up company.
As for David Du's partner gesture, I need to come up with something before telling him anything.
It seems like thera are tons of thing to think at the new year and to do right after the holidays...

From Paris with Love and Law Abiding Citizen
Today, Sundy, is father and son's film day, we finished watched the " Killing Point " mini movie together, it took us 6 hours to finish it. the mini movie deal with bank robbery, hostage, police and it came across many relations in between. an OK series. but we finished it and I took bicycling for almost 2 hours and reducing 550 caroles, a plus to watch the series.
after the series, I took Sound out, supposely , I decided to pick up Meiling for the roast duck dinner near by Nan Meng Market, however, Meiling bought her dinner already, so, I changed my mind and took Sound to local delicacy instead, whiling walked to the famous chain " Formosa Chang ", I found Sound is not talking and felt a little bit upset, I didn't know why until he opnened his mouth: Dad, every time when you hold my hand and walk, you push me to the wall", I didn't realized that the itimacy turn to an unpleasant experience to him and it reflect to my old habit walked with Meiling for the last 20 years. I took the left hand side positon always and hold her left hand with my right hand, she must suffered the against wall pushing for years... am I a man of ignorance? a person not caring enough? I apprecaite what Sound share with me, it kept me thinking for a long while and I told him if ever I did anything make him feel uncomfortable ( this is a new zone between comfort zone and danger ), he must told me, this is the only way to help me, a way to reducing my blind spot... another Johari Window learning to me.
We had great dinner at Formosa Chang, it's stew pork rice ( Ru Lo Fang ) is one of my favorite, although my health condition don't allow me to enjoy it too often, I can't help to reward myself after the long hour work out. on our way back home, we stop at the Xing Hai ? Xing Long cross road, I asked Sound if he found of going to the movie " From Paris with Love " with me, a big smile turn on his face. so we go for the theater, I told him before the screening that I once had dinner with Luc Besson - the genius director who establish his movie business : EUROPA, at times when he came to Taiwan promote his hit film : The Fifth Element. the movie is a new stly of spying movie, the first half of the movie dealing with many miniroty, to me, a little bit of race discrimination. and the latter part turn to be good gun - car racing action, this is what audience found of, and so do me and Sound.
Spending 3 days revise the Forum Retreat White Paper, the presentation file complete, but now, I should think hard, think how the group will appreciate my preach for bringing Certified Forum Facilitator and why it have to be me, and how my bridge to the Retreat will provide decent value to Forum... as this is an trial offer from David, I don't want to screw it up, the PP looks professional, and I am now review tons of Retreat inforamation , the well preparation is for tomorrow. I don't want to disappointed anyone, include me.
Law Abiding Citizen is a good movie, I enjoyed it very much, I took Meiling to the second round movie on Saturday, I memorize one of the line which means something to me: You Can't change the decision you made before, but to affect decisions you will make after.
Attending Intersoft board meeting on Friday morning at G.S.S. It's been a long while since I attended any offical Meetings, a little bit lost and a little bit found. I sensed that I am a man need relationship with corporation, network and co-work, this is me, love to work with people, on the last portion, I introduce KIVA to all the board members, it cause some interesed of them, interesting.
After the meeting, I went to New Civilization Bookstore waited for Kevin Lin, he send message and asked my comment about his Silk Road Expidition, then by 12 , the guy Richard showed up together with Kevin, he is the person who draw the plan, well I like the " THE " PROJECT ( The Home Expidition ) but honestly told him that the " Home " is kind of Political Correction , a Kiss my Ass in favor of China, but after Richard explained the HOME idea come before Silk road and is represted " EARTH ", then I have no objection to the them, then I also put out 2 points: one is change the Silk Worrier name and well plan the committe member, and suggested YOYO MA might be a good candidate as he is vern keen in Silk Road Project.. they like it and finally, Richard asked if I may introduce my connecting in China for them... finally, why Kevin don't do it himself, or to relay his request with me alone? or lay out his plan for the introduction machisim - forming a partnership or build a business relations. I don't really know but I am disappointed with Kevin's way of making thing happen - not directly and not honest about his intention, maybe he will be success in business world and to triumph in addtion to his expedition, maybe I am too naive about helping someone who is celebrity already.. only maybe, but I will take a step back to what I was thinking before - the coaching project together. time to think, twice or maybe three times.
While watched Law Abiding Citizen, Meiling advise me never took consultant as my career, it will not work, I told her this is the temporary solution only.. I don't have a clue what to do next now, really...

Return to my blogging days
To post blog is THE simply yet most discipline way of " routine " in correcting behavior, I am the perfect example of the " victim of bad-behavior ", I didn't post anything in 3 weeks. the longest I may recall since. now , it's the page of confession , to simply warning myself, to be discipline, I need to conduct a way of monitoring my diary life, and post a blog is the simples way to achieve it.
I didn't conduct any external activities for at least 10 days, the last assignment I can remembered is to help the " Lovely Taiwan Foundation " fine tune its proposal for bidding the Taitung Spot Light Project : a national infrusctrture initiative for developing tourism. Lulu is a great lady, she knows I am a free person and offer me this nice and simple task with a token of 10000 NT - The first income in Jan. 2010. I Haven;t got any pay check for one month, eating at home and counting on mortgage wasn't a smart move, however, now I am in the middle of nowhere, how can I repeat my fraught before, jumping on any floating wood as my safety guard.
A few thing I did good for the past 10 days - the period I refrain from contact with outside ( I know this is bad according to the book I read : 48 days, but you can't help yourself trapped in the Whirlpool and tried so hard to get yourself out of the hook ):
1. Exercise regularly, even not going out, I did cycling at home almost everyday.
2. no late for bad : woke up by 8:30 am latest and started my day by browsing healthy information online.
3. doing homework with Sound : not only accompany with him, brought him to Taichung overnight, but to stay at home with him, even without doing anything ( one thing we do together is buy iphone game : Home run 3D and try to improve our score and level, this is addictive fun for us )
4. no temper , no anxiety : expect nothing will happen before Chinese New Year, I am calm and used to what the silent world treat me.
5. reading : as usual, buy a few books such as : How to be free / Element / Little black book about entrepreneurship / rules of thumbs , these are great book to digest.
Meiling going to the health club everyday , I am a full time dad right now, she can't stand to stay home with me, I can sense her nervous and I know what worried her, but, to embrace a full-complete life now maybe the right choice, am I not aggressive enough to what I should pursue? I am not sure. but at this moment of time, not haste to regret.
as I read: if you can't turn back the clock for a better start, now you still got Chance for a perfect ending....

Reconnection
Coffee with Kevin Lin yesterday morning as Starbucks, this is a long break since I saw him, Kevin - as the world record keeper of Extreme Marathon is the guy who really want to climb to the top of his life, be an entrepreneur as his best, I didn't continue relationship with him due to his way of forming a PR / Event company which I am not favor of its nature : someone stealing corporate resource and turn it to his own and manipulate to a private company for their own interest... this is not what follow my Principal. now , I am ease with any business condition, as long as I am not one of them, to witness what happen in front of me won't get me allege anymore. this is why I initiative the call and tried to explore my idea of co-op with Kevin for the coaching-consulting development.
Kevin is doing good, according to his expression, and he is interested in what I proposed : to produce a multi-media enabled motivation speech with my Success D.N.A derive concept and package it to a multiple sales mechanism : Selling the Motivation Speech as a show, selling the coaching material as a tool, selling the community as a commercial endorsement, selling the certificate as the Central kiching but in service industry. Kevin is working on 2011 Silk Road Exploration, it well fit the time slot for the product and program development, although David Du is a bit hesitate about my idea, but I can smell the market and will like to kick off this program.
Met with Eugenia and we have a very long conversation, close to 3 hours, she share almost every detail of her growth, how she see the value in her, the family and some accidental development of her life, what surprise me the most is when learn the story about the acquainting between me and Celine, something touch or stitch to her heart. her eyes were wet. nevemind, I am happy to gain her back and be the partner in life and family family for good. her advise about 11 street consultation put me in the freezer, the analysis she made and share help me understand that the consultation to 11 street is a waste of time and it won't be a happy ending. which means, my estimate of 60000 income will be write off.. this really bother me.
in the afternoon, follow Sinyi for the land collateral process, Mr. Lin worked in sinyi for 20 plus years, a nice and professional person. he met me at Shin Kong Life Insurance Building , taken all the material then to Wan Han District office,now the first step of rearrange house mortgage is complete.
Fruit turn crazy and become hysteria late last night, broke things at the family bathroom again, I decided not to talk to her, really she is the pain in the ass, a real trouble which no one can believe. the hard time should gone in 2 years once she graduate from vocational senior high. I wish her mother can be ease then.

Kevin is working on 2011 Silk Road Exploration, it well fit the time slot for the product and program development, although David Du is a bit hesitate about my idea, but I can smell the market and will like to kick off this program.
Met with Eugenia and we have a very long conversation, close to 3 hours, she share almost every detail of her growth, how she see the value in her, the family and some accidental development of her life, what surprise me the most is when learn the story about the acquainting between me and Celine, something touch or stitch to her heart. her eyes were wet. nevemind, I am happy to gain her back and be the partner in life and family family for good. her advise about 11 street consultation put me in the freezer, the analysis she made and share help me understand that the consultation to 11 street is a waste of time and it won't be a happy ending. which means, my estimate of 60000 income will be write off.. this really bother me.
in the afternoon, follow Sinyi for the land collateral process, Mr. Lin worked in sinyi for 20 plus years, a nice and professional person. he met me at Shin Kong Life Insurance Building , taken all the material then to Wan Han District office,now the first step of rearrange house mortgage is complete.

What Matters
David Du called early this morning, he asked the update of my decision, actually, I didn't think much about his suggestion as it was his own idea, however, the develop of his idea grows day by day, first he mentioned it to David Yang, and then to his wife Alice, last night, he even escalate it to his father, founder of Du's family business. as he kept promote the idea of having me to act as a new administrator to his family business, my silence to his idea may cast a Shadow to the family trust, as the senior Du at his 90th already, it's time for him to take over the entire family business. as an outsider, I don't know what games /strategy David is thinking. but if I join his family business, the road map I can see is he should be escalate to the Chairman of the corporation and to have his father take the honorable seat at the picture, it will foster the succession plan.
David is not comfortable about my in-depth talk with Roxane from Nike, that's Saturday morning before YPO new year discussion, I touch upon the coaching idea and the potential market in China. David is so sensitive about my lean in China market, not because of the Green nature, but for the reason I turn down Sinyi's offer - station in Shanghai for 3 years.. as for Kevin's motivation speech market development, he raised the basic concern, what if Kevin agree with my idea, then what's next for me to conduct the how and what to, Do I prepare the investment fund to support this initiative? if such an initiative is similar to entertainment or live concert business, what not take a less risk, more positive one? I hardly can elaborate more since there are too many unknown / uncertain in the live concert environment, there's no way for me to make any mi skate, what Daniel can do is more than the budget controller. this is what I need to tell him.
David raise his voice and illustrate the 3 alternatives I may consider taken in next 15 years, yes, the picture is clear and vivid, what he propose is the better road ahead of me. what I need to do is to list down a check list, a what matter list and a priority and weight mechanism before making another decision, remember, communicating before commitment, this is essential today, never made the mistake before. really.

From CoachVille
A brief history...
Thomas Leonard - the founding father of the Coaching Industry - founded CoachVille in 2001 with the mission to improve the quality of coaching worldwide. In 2002 we launched our first Coach Training program - the Graduate School of Coaching - with the idea that anyone with the right make up and strong desire could become an effective Coach very quickly. Since that time we have trained over 4,000 coaches and our training has evolved into the program you are reading about right now.
You will start coaching in the very first class!
The only way to get really good at doing something is by doing it! Our super learning method is called DTMOPP - which stands for Desire, Theory, Method, Observe, Practice and Perform. Every session follows the same pattern and includes observing real coaching followed by you coaching one of your colleagues. You will be coaching well within weeks.
If you opt for the fast track path to completion, expect to invest about 10 hours per week inluding class time, study time and coaching time
The 3 Pursuits of Coaching
When you set out to become a Coach, you sign on to support people in the pursuit of the things that matter most to them - like family, business, career and romance. Along the way you help them become the person they have always wanted to become. It takes dedication and courage to Coach, and the rewards can be both financial and priceless.
The craft of Coaching has three primary pursuits:
The Pursuit of Human Greatness
Begins with a vision of achievement and evolves into becoming an inspiration for others
The Pursuit of the Flow State
The place of fluidity and grace where the desired results occur as the natural byproduct of full self- expression
The Pursuit of Personal Evolution
Our ultimate purpose as a community is to forward humanity one person at a time.

Julie and Julia
This is my second time to Julie and Julia, my first time saw the movie was on the plane back to Taipei, this time, after 5 weeks, I brought Fruit and Meiling to the second run movie theater - Cha Cha and enjoy the big screen again. Fruit join us for a purpose : to buy her a shoe after the movie. She is not willing to do good things with her in order to conduct some CHANGE, but to trade with money. right now, this is the only way to force her do things WE thought good for her... a one sided thinking.
Julia and Paul loved each other so much, Julie set a great goal to follow a virtues mentor to a life change action. it cause me thinking what's the driver in me to help me change? the first book came out it 48 days, how to make my change a monitor able and feasible development in front of me. using blogging is a good method.
after the movie, we went home by 9:00 pm, I began to clean the dinner table, and make it a Forum Training Only place, and start to break things to the folder and re-organized what I must do. this is a good start , Meiling shared with me on bad in regard to my current body condition, yes, there are some problems and I shall overcome.
Fruit said something about : I am racing with the time, I am not fully agree with her viewpoint but reluctant to educate her, she is worried about her future wealth, she is to lust and irresponsible to almost everything. I should not make comparison between Sound and Fruit again, it won't improve the father and daughter relationship, but to increase the gap in between.
Meiling do the house cleaning on Saturday, it was the first time since 10 years ago, it really take time and energy to clean this big house, she spent 8 hours to do it, I went home around 3 pm and give her my hand. well, I am not good at this but tried so hard to prove that I am willing to assist. she didn't want to talk to me, by 8:30 pm she went out for dinner, I followed her out and asked her why so cold to me? she replied with a shock to me : These day, she said: you don't bring me any hope, it there's no hope in life, why should be stayed with you? Yes, the emotional reaction cause by the mixing of my career turbulence : change the business plan, not yet identify where to go and what to do, in the low mode for too long, I can sense it and what I need is a supporter , on the other hand, she also need a supporting role model like me.. just like Julia and Paul, how they support each other, as great couple and great person. to me, that's the true value of construct a family and to spend life together.
Digging the coaching market is like swimming in the wide sea, it's time to settle with the idea and turn it to a workable business and design a few program / product as well, time is not on my side, I can only work harder.. much harder.

From Leading Newsletter
I browsed Marshall Goldsmith site : with the title " Library ", it contained almost all of his writing archive as free resource for everyone.. an executive coach and member to Peter Drucker Foundation, Marshall don't mind anyone steal his work, as long as he can control his heart and soul; as a matter of fact, this must be a great way to market his coaching business, as I want to be a coach myself, to worship Marshall and to learn how he got what he get today is essential. there are tone of knowledge to be qualified as executive, I am not sure whether there is a ' Market " in Greater China and who will be seem as the leading coach in this part of the world.
Goodstone is the corporation Marshall co-found as the coaching service consultancy, I will try to apply and see how I can learn from Marshall and developing what I love to do - not MVP any more, but to be the best coach. here after are information I extracted from the leading newsletter:
Marshall Goldsmith said that the success of projects depends as much upon relationships as it does on strategy. In fact, our communication is our biggest point of leverage, bar none. Sixty per cent of mergers and acquisitions fail to produce return on investment due primarily to the difficulty in combining organizational cultures - a process that depends heavily on consistent communication and understanding the various frames of reference of all parties. It is yet another example of "the soft stuff driving the hard stuff.
Coach's tip: Ask yourself: how do you know how well you communicate? How clear are you about your impact on others? Ask your stakeholders for feedback and then for feedforward (suggestions for improvement) about what you do well and how to improve. Remember, your communication is a knowledge engine for your company! Finally, ask yourself - how would communicating even better benefit both me and my organization? What are the "hard" profits that will result from developing this "soft" competency?
Remember, as Peter Drucker points out, organizations are no longer built on force. They are increasingly built on trust. And trust has much to do with the quality and clarity of our communication as leaders.
Tribute to Peter Drucker (1909 - 2005) by Marshall Goldsmith
At one meeting of the Board of the Peter Drucker Foundation, I asked Peter, "You have written so much about mission - what is your mission?" He laughed and replied, "My mission is to help other people achieve their goals - assuming that they are not immoral or unethical!"
