Business Woman!!

Tell you a secret: one of the reasons why I decide to go abroad is because that I really want to change my personality.

In the perspective of most people, my personality is pretty good.
However, I am not so confidence in myself, so, I need to gain recognition from other people.
For me, the definition of business woman means that I have the ability to express my thought clearly, and believe what I can do assertively.
It's not a smooth road, but I have to step toward the direction.
Hoping in the coming future, I can become the person that I want.


ps. Thanks for the crazy guys from Zavio, their passion for the future let me find out the real spirit of Taiwanese.

I've Never Been To Me (Charlene)

I've Never Been To Me

Hey lady, you lady
cursing at your life
you're a discontented mother
and a regimented wife
I have no doubt
you dream about the things you never do
but I wish someone had to talk to me like I wanna talk to you
I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...

Please lady please lady
don't just walk away
Cause I have this need to tell you
why I'm alone today
I can see so much of me
still living in your eyes
won't you share a part
of a weary heart that has lived a million lives

Oh, I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
when I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlo in Monte Carlo
and showed them what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
and I've seen some things that a woman ain't suppose to see
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...

Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie
a fantasy recreated about people and places
as we like them to be
but you know what truth is?
it's that little baby you're holding
and it's that man you fought with this morning
the same one you are gonna make love to tonight
that's truth that's love

sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
that might have made me complete
but I, I took the sweet life
I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring
the subtile whoaring
that cost to much to be free
hey lady I've been to paradise
but I've never been to me...

I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

The critical theme I learned from MBA

The time is nearly the end of my MBA life.

As we read from books, magazine or newspaper before, MBA seems a great route toward a successful life. If you have good working experiences, a great degree can enhance the value of your career. Ideally, it can help you in a certain extent.

However, most of us are ordinary persons, and our life can't be changed easily through a degree. Your career actually depends on your past experience, professional ability, your faith, efforts and some luck.

Before I went to UK, I have read the article addressed by Steve Jobs who had a speech in Stanford U in 2005; and after I study abroad, I have more deeply thought about his stories.

This paragraph below is my favorite part,

"Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle."

I always struggle with dream and reality.
Honestly speaking, I am not the person who should enter the business world.
But I am here, in order to test my possibility.

I am too greedy to gain more in this challenging world.
But actually I have to focus on what I really want, and then I can accumulate energy and ability.

The critical theme I learned from MBA is: Reality is cruel.
All we can do is listen to your heart, and pursue your goal bravely.
Don't fear about failure; a loss may turn out to be a gain.
As Jobs' said: Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

Blood Brothers

This weekend, I threw my proposal and went to London to visit my dear friend.
Watching musical is one of my goal to London. The first musical I saw in London was "Evita", and this time I chose "Blood Brothers", which was recommended by a British Madame.

It's an ordinary story that one mother who can't arise many children; therefore, she sent one of her twins to another rich family.

The rich mother tried every effort to separate the two children, but the situation made them connect more closer. However, their wonderful friendship and relationship with a sweet girl changed their life.

Sorrow always led to the climax of the play, and resulted in the tragedy.

At the end of the play, the poor one told to her own mother: "why you won't send me instead of him to the rich family, then I won't become like this..."

The dilemma of the situation make people cry, because everyone can understand the difficulties between the family. It's a touching story.

But for me, even the middle bourgeoisie or lower status, you still have choice to decide what you want to do. The thought of that poor guy sounded reasonable, but he didn't try to overcome his obstacle, just refusing other people's help.

Everyone needs to take responsibility to his/her life.

Environment can influence you, but you decide your destiny!
