转眼，我都工作了快3个月了。有一点怀恋学校的生活，自由自在，随时有活动，一天可以约会几次：）

工作后，工作就是主旋律。但是相对于其他同学去的公司，感觉还好，我们这里的氛围比较轻松活泼，大家都相互帮助，业余活动也不少，差不多每个月都组织出去玩。

但是来深圳，在一个陌生的地方，感觉还是比较孤单，特别怀念成都的日子，成都的朋友，成都的食物。下次回成都的时候，一定要好好和朋友们聚聚，玩玩：）

 

这本书，是50前的么，我怎么也不敢相信啊。
同时读的还有几本刚出版的管理书，可好像都是这本书的解释或者说发展。
今天读到了，“企业的职能只有两个：创造顾客和创新。”

看到这句话的时候还不理解，可是读到其内容时就豁然开朗了。
创造顾客的过程是发掘和满足顾客需求的过程，当顾客的需求没有被满足的时候，顾客还不存在，市场也不存在。只有企业发掘并满足顾客需求时，顾客和市场才被创造出来了。
关于创新，有这么一句话大概意思是这样的：在静态的经济中是没有企业的，只有中间买卖的经纪人，而企业只存在于动态扩张的经济中。（我装一下高深，再补充一点，企业顺应经济张力而生，同时为张力提供动能。呵呵！）

Entrepreneurial Mentality

4^th Speech of Johnson lakeman2000@163.com  March 11, 2006

One year ago our club was founded, and I almost took part in all the parties, which gave me a lot, friends, English, leadership skills and my fiancée.

We know one of our missions is to foster the future leaders including entrepreneurs, CEOs.

Everybody has his driving force. Reputation? Money? Power?

My driving force is pursuing the sense of achievements and, maybe you know, the freedom.

Compared with all the careers, I think to be an entrepreneur is the most suitable way for me.

I plan to start my company in 7 years.

Although Jack Welch said ”Business is a game! Not a serious thing!”

I feel it not easy.

But I have confidence because I am not alone, you are my friends.

You will help me or join me, won’t you?

 

In American it is the entrepreneurs who drive the development of the society while in China they work in the hardship of government authority monopolization in some degree. But with the deepening of reform and opening-up our entrepreneurs will gradually dominate the social life wherever in economics and politics.

 

I salute those who dare to dream!

I admire those who allow their minds to soar while their feet remain planted on firm ground.

I envy those with the guts to go where man has never set foot before.

Some of you will be those, my future pioneers.

 

Several years ago, I took part in Business Plan Competition and read the Entrepreneur's Credo accidentally. I was excited and shocked and my entrepreneur mentality was arose! I want to share the Entrepreneur's Credo with you today.

 

Entrepreneur's Credo…..

 

My future CEOs, the real credit for our future prosperity belongs to you, the future leaders of Chinese industry. It belongs to those of you who supplied entrepreneurial leadership. It belongs to those of you who believe and practice the Entrepreneur's Credo “seek opportunity – not security. “

 

Entrepreneur's Credo of the American Entrepreneurs Association

I do not choose to be common.

It is my right to be uncommon – if I can.

I seek opportunity – not security.

I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled, and dulled by having the state look after me.

I want to take a calculated risk, to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed.

I refuse to barter incentive for a dole.

I prefer the challenges of life to guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia.

I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity of the handout.

I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat.

It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid, to think and act for myself, to enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say:

This, with God’s help, I have done.

All this is what it means to be an Entrepreneur.

美国企业家协会的信条

我不选择做一个普通的人。

成为一个不寻常的人是我的权力－－如果我能够。

我寻求机遇，而不是安稳。

我不希望是一个受保护的市民，让国家照顾我，过着谦卑、沉闷的生活。

我要去冒深思熟虑的风险，去梦想并建设，去失败并去成功。

我拒绝用刺激换取命运；我喜欢生活的挑战，而不是有保障的生存；更喜欢实现目标的兴奋，而不是陈腐的乌托邦主张。

我决不会为了施舍食物而出卖我的自由，或者为了救济品而出卖我的尊严。

我决不在任何征服者面前畏缩，或向任何威胁屈服。

我所继承的是，不屈，自豪，无畏的站立；因我为自己思考和行动，沉浸于我所创造的裨益。

勇敢的面对世界，并且说：在上帝的帮助下，我已经做了上述之事。

所有这些就是做一名企业家的含义。

 

终于自由了，答辩完成的照片。

我大学阶级要感谢的很多老师，不过有极个别的老师实在是不让我佩服：）真的想早点走人。

转眼间， 英语主持人俱乐部已经一周岁了。但想起最开始文化沙龙里面phoebe，well and Johnson etc.一起商讨成立俱乐部的事情仿佛就在昨天。

俱乐部的周年庆，也是圣诞节，也庆祝新年。

活动由apple策划的，玩游戏， white elephant，分周年蛋糕， 当然离不开打蛋糕丈，我还是坚持一贯的原则，不反对，不鼓励，不参与～

可是我还是未能够逃脱白色的命运：（

 

 

西蒙•伦敦=文 2005年11月17日作者：英国《金融时报》西蒙•伦敦(Simon London)

如果年轻的彼得•德鲁克(Peter Drucker)今天执教于一家顶级商学院，他可能连助理教授都不够资格，更别提终身教职了。这位最具影响力的现代管理学思想家于上周辞世，享年95岁。他不愿参与学术界的游戏。他拒绝在晦涩难懂的期刊上发表文章、不用冗余的数学填充论文，同时由于理解管理学需要广博的知识，他也不愿限制自己的视野。

对学院派而言，这意味着德鲁克的著作不够严谨。不错，他有着渊博的知识和敏锐的洞察力。但是，在他的著作中，何处用过抽样方法和统计回归呢？一位宁愿为报纸撰稿、也不愿在《国际经营与生产管理季刊》(International Journal of Operations and Production Management)上发表文章的人，让人如何能够严肃看待？学院派对其数十年的冷淡，使德鲁克从未在哈佛大学、斯坦福大学、沃顿商学院、凯洛格商学院或其它美国知名管理研究机构中担任过教职。
对于双方而言，这都并非憾事。没有德鲁克，商学院照样办得红红火火，从上世纪60年代到90年代末一直以惊人的速度发展。而这位维也纳裔美国人也同样声名鹊起，共撰写了36本著作、数百篇文章，确立了独具一格、卓而不凡的管理学泰斗地位。最终，洛杉机附近克莱蒙特一所中等规模的商学院以他的名字命名。他在那里度过了生命中最后的30年，讲授经营策略和日本艺术等不同课目。

然而，即便与学术界之间的嫌隙从未困扰过德鲁克（实际上，这对他的困扰超出了他所表现出的程度），但在客观中立的观察家看来，这种分歧的确令人费解。双方都宣称（自己）是在努力加深我们对组织的理解，并提供有益的观点，以改善组织的管理方式。但是，这位执拗任性的通才的研究方法，与日臻完善的学术专业化截然相反。究竟谁是谁非？

回答上述问题的方法之一是：由市场来决定。《金融时报》为了准备全球最受尊崇企业的年度排名榜，今年对近1000位首席执行官进行了调查。在调查中，首次要求这些首席执行官回答哪些管理学作者或大师对他们影响最大。在此我不想打破玄念（全部结果将刊登在下周的特别增刊上）；只说一点就已足够：前20位大师中，只有5位原来出身于学术界。剩下都是实践派管理人士、咨询顾问或商学院的“叛逃者”。

乍看之下，教授数量之少着实令人惊讶。毕竟，管理学院教师大部分都较为睿智，同时有时间从事重大商业课题的研究。他们肯定就应该是管理思想的主要源泉吗？

这里的障碍在于，学术体系中重严谨而轻实用。有抱负的教授要通过定期在学术期刊上发表文章，来获得终身教职。通常，这意味着关注适合统计学分析的狭隘课题。在报纸上撰写通俗易懂的文章没什么助益。除非到职业生涯的后期，否则出版商业巨著肯定也不会得到鼓励。

即便在20世纪70年代晚期，在学术专门化受到盲目崇拜之前，当迈克尔•波特(Michael Porter)宣布计划撰写一本关于企业战略的著作时，不少人对此表示怀疑。当时，波特不过是哈佛商学院一名级别较低的助理教授。他居然如此狂妄！不过没关系，结果是《竞争战略》(Competitive Strategy)的问世——该书在任何时代都堪称最具影响力的商业著作之一。而如今，像波特那样的年轻人却遭到告诫：不许存有这样的幻想。

同时，学术体系往往阻碍了教授们研究本应进行的课题。注重统计分析使得年轻有前途的研究人员依赖第三方的基本数据，而这些数据本可以加以研究。作为另一种选择，他们针对MBA学员开展行为实验。不管采取哪种方法，他们都很少花时间与实践派管理人士在工作环境中进行合作。

“由于招募和擢升那些在专业学术期刊上发表文章的人，商学院正催生这样一个教职员工队伍：他们主要的职业理想就是献身于科学研究。”今年早些时候，沃伦•贝内斯(Warren Bennis)和吉姆•奥图尔(Jim O’Toole)在《哈佛商业评论》(HBR)上撰文指出。他们二位是南加州大学马歇尔商学院的教授。“现在的管理学终身教授可能从未真正涉足一家企业 ——除了作为（该企业的）消费者。”

直到几年前，谈论商学院的信心危机问题可能都会显得颇为荒谬。本科及研究生管理课程的需求增长非常迅速，商学院几乎难以跟上这一步伐。对于任何一个希望在职场中有所作为的20多岁的年轻人，MBA都成为了一个黄金标准。

然而，自2001年以来，这种需求有所下降。一些颇具眼光的雇主——比如管理咨询公司和蓝筹企业——开始将招聘网撒得更广。现在，拥有一个不错的博士头衔，或者经营自己公司的经历也被视为良好的应聘资格，与很多人选修两年金融经济学课程没什么差别。少数思想开明的商学院院长——例如斯坦福的罗伯特•乔斯 (Robert Joss)、凯洛格的迪帕克•詹恩(Dipak Jain)以及多伦多大学罗特曼管理学院的罗杰•马丁(Roger Martin)——已经开始宣扬整合思想、跨学科研究和实践出真知的信条。确实，实用主义正重新崛起。

我敢断定，彼得•费迪南•德鲁克——这个涉猎国际法、历史学、组织学、政治学、伦理学、美学以及人类境况的学者——将笑到最后。他的逝去无疑是这个世界的损失。

     终于老板松口了。 而且听说他明年三月就要出国研修，我们祈祷啊，希望他能够早一天出去，我们就早一天解放。

    本来说写完单机版就让我毕业的，接着又写网络版，前几天又加了任务：）现在是天天写code。

不过这两天老板好像出国的事情确定了，对我们也就放松了一些，如果顺利，我们就可以提前答辩了，管他呢，就熬过去吧，解放万岁：）

Hakuna Matata!....

 

下面是演讲稿件，内容是为有很多听众的情况准备的， 谁知道到场的人只有10人，这个时候要发挥自己的激情就不太合适了，演讲当人少的时候，应该更多的发挥温馨的效果。有人说，即使有上千的听众，如果希望你的演讲温馨，你就假设只有三，五好友在听你的演讲。怎么在温馨和激情之间作一个平衡是一个难题：）

下面是我的演讲稿件：

Club needs our care!

3^rd speech of Johnson Saturday, November 26, 2005

My dear friends:

As the former president, now I want to say “Thank you!” my fellow members. It’s your cooperation and help that gave me the courage to run the club well. The achievement of our club is gained through the united efforts of our all fellow members, thank you!

Almost one year has past since our club was founded. I can clearly remember that day when we 6 persons gathered in Culture Salon Bar to discuss how to set up our club first time. Now I am very glad to see that our club grows stronger and stronger: so many new faces are here; Bill leads our club; more and more persons know us.

As a nonprofit organization, the officers have no compensation and salary. But they really did a great job for us. Thank you, our diligent officers, especially Bill, it’s you who take the president of our club so that I can get off from the servant place and be a real host. Actually, in a nonprofit organization, the officers are real servants. Just as…( treasure, membership, education, president for the meeting and room cleaning).

Why should they do this? To be an officer, it’s true that we can get more opportunities to improve ourselves, especially leadership skills. But to tell the truth, it is not the main reason why I pay so much energy to the club. The main reason is that you are my friends; I am willing to do more for my friends. Sometimes, I sit in the club in front of you just as I am at home. I can say anything in front of you sincerely. Club is my new home in the university. You are my family. Brothers and sisters!

Club is our family, a family where we can laugh loudly and we can cry loudly. When you make a speech, everyone is willing to give you the sincere feedback for you to improve yourself.

I believe we all have such kind feelings about our club or want have the feelings.

We all cherish our family, our parents, our brothers and sisters. Although maybe you are the only child in your parents’ family, but now you have us, your brothers and sisters in the new family.

 

To maintain our family needs our continuous united efforts and cares. Officers do something and fellow members do something.

What can we do specifically? There are five things for us:

1.         Cherish every opportunity to make personal progress. (our missions)

2.         Be on time.

3.         Listen to the speaker attentively and actively.

4.         Be accountable and responsible for our roles.

5.         Do something to make our club be a real family.

My brothers and sisters, from my experience, I can guarantee that you will be definitely rewarded with various wonders which would surprise you unexpectedly from time to time if we open our heart to our club, our family, our brothers and sisters.

今天和一个信仰穆斯林的朋友交流一下了信仰问题。

他强烈的信仰给了一个震撼，他说:"如果你向阿拉走一步，阿拉真主会向你走十步”“If you take one step close to Allah, Allah will take ten steps close to you!" "Allah is among people, if you hurt people, you hurt Allah"

想想自己的信仰在哪里呢? 同时我想到了一直用于QQ签名档的Russel的的一句话“Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind .” 如果这是他的信仰的话，我想有卓越成就的人，他们都应该有自己虔诚的信仰（或者价值观，或者生活目标），不论信仰是什么！我有一丝迷惑了，我曾以下面一段话作为我的信仰“I live for experience at three life principles: Love unconditionally; Existence is reasonable; Live with passion!"今天当我看到我朋友谈到Allah时，那种神圣的虔诚的和幸福的表情，我知道，我把自己的价值取向和虔诚的宗教信仰混淆了。信仰是一个什么样的力量啊，我渴望了解。

     如果有虔诚的信仰，一切的对错，成败，都有信仰作为指南针，是多么幸福的事情。相反，我，作为不信宗教的人，得依靠自己把握自己的道德航标，避免在茫茫的大海中触礁，这是多么辛苦的事情。

在马克思唯物主义摧毁民间宗教信仰，西方资本主义物质文明动摇了共产主义信仰之际，有多少人无法胜任艰辛的自我掌舵，看不到彼岸的曙光？

   我何时才能树立自己坚定的信仰呢？

Hi, Tiger,
Glad to meet you. I wrote to you for help and to tell you my appreciation to the meeting with you last night. 
 I learned a lot from you. The change of my life attitude from "Happiness!" to "To be my best self!" has happened. I had three life principles before I met you:
a) Love unconditionaly.
b) Existence is reasonable.
c) Live with passion. I thought the principles would give a happy life.
They have really helped me a lot. "Love" gives me mind power, self-assurance and optimistic attitude to people, life and the world. When I do something on the principle I feel no doubt. "Existence is reasonable!" makes me understand others, be tolerant and believe the existence of reason for everything. “Live with passion!” reminds me be positive, act with passion and be vigorous. But when I considered them and wanted to unify them systematically, I found the incompatibility that they looked a little decentralizing.
After I failed to combine them to an integration, I assumed they should be unified under "happiness" just as our ancestors couldn't understand some natural phenomena and created totems to explain them. So when asked about the definition of success, I said "Happiness!" thoughtlessly. Then you reminded me again it's "To be my best self!" without any hesitation. After your departure, I considered a lot about my definition of success. The meaning of "Happiness!" is abstract and vague compared with "To be my best self!" which not only points out the life goal but also points out the life process. It not only tells me to consider my current situation to make a right choice but also tells me to consider my future. I have never felt so clear in mind what the success is.
I am sure my life principles have found their home "To be my best self!"
  Thanks a lot!
Sincerely
HuangChao
 

Live With Passion
1st Speech of Johnson               May 27, 2005
[Start: Trigger audiences' interest
 with a deep sigh, pretend to be sick and tired. And then ask a question louder]
How do you think of me and my speech? What's your expectation?
You must be influenced by my sigh. You must feel sick and tired because of my depressed behavior.
[louder and higher voice]
But, Now,
Let's start my speech.--Live With Passion!
Jack Welch, as one of the most famous CEO in human history, it's him who created the myth of General Electric Co, was once asked to describe the most important quality as a CEO in one word. Do you know what Jack said?

Jack said:” Passion!”

Life needs passion because passion makes us successful, passion makes us attractive and passion makes us happy!

[Developing: Why]
We need passion. We want to succeed.  We want to be attractive. We want to live a happy life.
In our youth our hearts were touched with fire.
As we grow up, we are gradually losing our passion.
This can be proved by our performance at different age.
I believe the constant passion can help us a lot!
I realized it and read a lot of materials and watched many videos on it.
Now, I really want to share and discuss the problem with you.
So I chose this topic.
Someone may challenge me and ask me why the passion can make us successful, attractive and happy.
We may have thought of it before, but without deep discussion.
We can have a heart-to-heart talk on this topic after my speech.

Now, what we really care is how to get constant passion and where passion comes from?

[Climax: How
Use action and music to energize audiences
Trigger their mind.
Shout a word Passion;
Stretch
Dance to music
]
I believe passion comes from love.
Only when we love something, we can maintain our passion on it.
Life needs passion. Life needs our love.
We want to live a happy life.
We need to love life.
It's a simple logic.
Love life!
Love the people around you.
Love the world around you
Then passion is with you.
.
But, learning how to love is a life long process.
Is there any easy method to make us full of passion on life?
The answer is “Absolutely yes!”
Do you want to know the method?
I really have a simple method, everybody can use it.

Now let's have a try--Live With Passion!
Action helps you keep your passion.

Let's rise up.
Relax yourself.
Have deep breath.
Breathe out slowly.
Stretch right!
Stretch left!
Now!
Music!

[Music starts]
Dance and sing to music!
Let's shout to music!
Passion!
Passion!
[Music stops]

Do you feel your passion?
I feel my passion.
Remember action helps you keep your passion.

[Ending: Call for action!
Give a guest an opportunity to know someone who she or he wants to know at the meeting and make friends with.]
Live with passion because passion makes you successful, attractive and happy
Now, use your passion, your courage, your love
Do something that you really want to do and are scared to do, now, immediately or after the party without delay.
Take out your phone.
Tell someone you love her/him
Tell your parents you love them.
Tell your brothers and sisters you love them.
Tell your friend you really like her/him.

Let's do it.
Speak with passion!
Study with passion!
Work with passion!

In one word, action with passion!
Action now. 
Don't hesitate.
It's time to energize yourself to challenge your fear,
It's time to find your passion
To find your power, and your happiness,
Eventually, you will find yourself.
You will find you are so popular, you are so happy, your life is full of sunshine.
Let's say together.
Or I say, you say!
Passion!
Passion!
Passion!
Action now!

In the end of my speech, I have a gift to one guest. Who want to be the one?
It's an incredible and invaluable gift. Even you can't buy it using money!
[At the end, give a guest an opportunity to know someone who she or he wants to know at the meeting and make friends with.]
A new friend, or a close friend,  or even a life long close friend.

[When the two guys shake hands, applause!]
Live with passion.
Learn how to love life.
Using action maintain your passion!
