My Way

Can we learn wisdom from songs? I doubt it when I look around songs overran nowadays. But when I look back 80', surly there is something.

Remember, when you have to chew, chew something bitter.

Wisdom is your backbone, if you don't have backbone, you won't stand awhile.


So, My Way, written by Paul Anka, sang by Frank, can be one of lessons and it helps me get by when things are nasty.

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and every highway;

But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;

And may I say - not in a shy way,
"No, oh no not me,
I did it my way".

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows –
And did it my way!

Seen and Unseen

Something about telephone conference certainly is, unreal.

Look, saving traveling cost is no wrong, saving human resource is no wrong. But point is, when you head into the wrong direction, you are going no where. And the consequence of that is, increasing a huge amount of time to negotiate, with someone is 11,000 km away from you.

What means the wrong direction? We think a frontline workforce can solve problems lingually and physically. Yes, but partially.

Why? Decision is made by Headquarter, policy is framed from Headquarter. As an Taiwan based company, it is hard to procastiate by saying, we have to wait the decision, or we don't know the policy, or we cannot make a call. We are in the Headquarter in which people expect to hear information, decision, policy from you.

It's no wrong, to pay 60,000 USD (1,800,000 NTD) to a frontline US attorney in California, or to pay 50,000 USD to a frontline sales representation. But a face to face, even doing it through a television conference will be much better than doing it through phone call which electronic snow accompanies.

Think about it, sedning your soliders on that battlefiled and see the real counter party.

I Run to You

Lady Antebellum, a country music group from Nashville, Tennessee. "I Run to You" released in January 2009. It eventually became the trio's first Number One in July 2009.

Lyrics is very touching, especially the first four sentences.

I run from hate, I run from prejudice
I run from pessimists, but I run too late
I run my life or is it running me, run from my past
I run too fast or too slow it seems

When lies become the truth
That's when I run to you

This world keeps spinning faster
Into a new disaster so I run to you, I run to you baby
When it all starts coming undone
Baby, you're the only one I run to, I run to you

We run on fumes, your life and mine
Like the sands of time slippin' right on through

And our love's the only truth
That's why I run to you
