- through the eyes of a child
- judgement - the world comes in

with a lot of people's stories to illustrate how they work / live after all, i didn't go through all the stories since they are all identical, nothing related to hk. but quite a good book. easy to read.
[ quote ]
what is this attachment between 2 people about? ...they make both people feel secure and protected, the 5 aspects they defined are - caring, intimacy, family feeling, commitment, reciprocal identity support.
to be loved means to be consumed. to love is to give light with inexhaustible oil. to be loved is to pass away. to love is to endure.
we find a place for what we lose. although we know that after such a loss, the acute stage of mourning will subside, we also know that we shall remain inconsolable and will never find a substitute. no matter what may fill the gap, even if it be filled completely, it nevertheless remains something else. (sigmund freud)
only those who avoid love can avoid grief. the point is to learn from it and remain vulnerable to love.

an easy book. published in 1998. use the simple examples to illustrate in short.
i've agreed with most of the concepts as i also do the same before i read this book.
[ quote ]
the common complaint of having no time often comes from allowing everyone around you to steal yout time. at work, colleagues stop byyour desk to make small talk, unexpected phone calls occur, visitors drop in.
everything seems out of control. nothing goes the way it is 'supposed' to. you are doing everything you can, trying to control and fix it. even with all of your intelligence, determination, and strength, you cannot reverse the set course.
*1st secret - fine-tune your actions
do less, achieve more, make peace with time, trade what you have for what you want, adopt directed dreaming
*2nd secret - put your mind at ease
find wisdom in irritation, surrender reveals your destiny, live to thrive, not just survive, grant yourself grace, transform the four toxic motivators
*3rd secret - discover the divine power
stop reacting, start restfully controlling, stay in the present, epilogue - let go
FINALLY - life is truly meant to be easy.
other comments
- use the 3 secrets to unlock your potential
- center yourself in your job, focus your actions, and balance your life
- achieve your goals with less work and worry
- have the time and peace of mind to enjoy the fruits of your labour
- we fail to achieve our goals because we are trying too hard to succeed. the secret...is finding that balance point between effort and ease.

it's pretty cool a simple book and introduce new concept 'blue ocean' in a simple ways with examples as well.
'how to create uncontested market space and make the compeition irrelevant'
highlights 6 principles : show how to reconstruct market boundaries, focus on the big picture, reach beyond existing demand, get the strategic sequence right, overcome organizational hurdles, and build execution into strategy.
'value innovation' - create powerful leaps in value for both the firm and it buyers, rendering rivals obsolete and unleashing new demand.
it also links with 'tipping point leadership'. - shows managers how to mobilize an organization of a blue ocean strategy. it deals with organizational risk. it lays out how leaders and managers alike can surmount the cognitive, resource, motivational, and political hurdles in spite of limited time and resources in executing blue ocean strategy.'
tipping points - it hinges on the insight that in any organization, fundamental changes can happen quickly when the beliefs and energies of a critical mass of people create an epidemic movement toward an idea. key to unlocking an epidemic movement is concentration, not diffusion.
a cool book from harvard business school press.

本來只是具有清潔功能的肥皂, 你改變了它的用途, 或者, 令人感覺它超越了其本身的用途, 覺得它是超值的, 你這就成功了.
我們要解決問題, 就要能跳出一個高度去處理, 將自己擺上最高點, 不是看一條兩條問題, 而是看整件事 - 綜觀整個大騷來看, 究竟怎樣才是好的過癮的有趣的問題?
有創意的人, 平時要好好建立團隊合作精神, 一個人有創意, 仍必須要靠全隊合作, 互相信任, 才能實踐大膽的搆思.
做生意的老闆要記住- 你不是只要賺客人一次錢, 而是要天天賺客人一次錢, 做生意沒有回頭客, 就是沒有口碑, 生意就難以做大.
如果你不讓出第一步, 就不會換來日後的收穫.
it also refer to 'blue ocean strategy' - 傳統的巿場就是[紅海], 好多鯊魚在這裡搶食, 海水都給染污了, 而作為一個有創意的企業人, 必須開闢新的[藍海], 一個從來沒有人發現的海上巿場, 一片藍的.

building a web of relationships isn't the only thing you need to be successful. but building a career, and a life, with the help and support of friends and family and associates has some incredible virtues.
'find your passion'
'a goal is a dream with a deadline' before you start writing down your goals, you'd better know what your dream is.
coming up with goals, updating them, and monitoring our progress in achieving them is less important...the transformation of a dream into reality requires hard work and discipline...
'putting goals to paper'...your goals must be in writing. have the conviction to put your intentions to paper. an unwritten wish is just a dream. in writing, it's a commitment, a goal...your goals must be specific, believable, challenging and demanding. and then take 'ACTION'.
'create a personal - board of advisors'
bill clinton - clinton doesn't just recall your personal information, he uses the information as a means to affirm a bond with you...more specific you are about where you want to go in life, the easier it becomes to develop a networking strategy to get there...be sensitive to making a real connection in your inter-actions with others.
don't wait until you're out of a job, or on your own, to begin reaching out to others. you've got to create a community of colleagues and friends before you need it.
1. find a role model. 2. learn to speak. 3. get involved. 4. get therapy. 5. just do it.
'acquaintances' in short, represent a source of social power, and the more acquaintances you have, the more powerful you are...restaurateurs, headhunters, lobbyists, fundraisers, public relations people, politicans, journalists.
'connect - connect with the connectors'
- always express your gratitude
- be sure to include an item of interest from your meeitng or conversation - a joke or a shared moment of humor
- reaffirm whatever commitments you both made - going both ways
- be brief and to the point
- always address the thank-you note to the person by name
- use e-mail and snail mail. the combination adds a personalized touch
- timeliness is key. send them as soon as possible after the meeting or interview
- many people wait until the holidays to say thank you or reach out. why wait? your follow-ups will be timelier, more appropriate, and certainly better remembered
- don't forget to follow up with those who have acted as the go-between for you and someone else. let the original referrer know how the conversation went, and express your appreciation for their help.
make follow-up a habit. make it automatic. when you do, the days of struggling to remember people's names - and of other people struggling to remember yours - will be a thing of the past.
