Adjust your lens or change it, then you will see all kinds of things. Even the same things, but much clearer. The power of reframing. Organization or organism all need to self-examine at one time or another. For instance, after taking your shirts back from the cleaners, you might notice that even though they are…

NYT columnist sums it up and I have nothing to add to it, maybe except the cross-cultural angle about change or perish. I hear Yesterday’s lyric ” I am half a man I used to be”. .. Technological leap forward (surround sound, anyone?). Star Wars itself has to keep up with its own 3-D version.…

WSJ most read article is “Why people can’t make decision” (see my other blog, “buy-in behaviors”). I also found another article that reinforces this period of indecision: companies are saving the money they borrowed at bank’s low rates, thus fail to spur the economy. Why would people borrow money at low rates, then sit on…

Thousands gathered around Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi, on the occasion of its 1000th year celebration, to watch the city’s oldest Turtle emerge from the water. Meanwhile, conservationists are trying to crack down on the use of rare species for Chinese medicine, among these, what else: rare turtles. http://www.linkedin.com/news?viewArticle=&articleID=212874778&gid=1433237&type=member&item=31119941&articleURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dztimes.net%2Fpost%2Fbusiness%2Fvietnamese-smes-upbeat-about-economy-survey.aspx&urlhash=8bdb&goback=.gde_1433237_member_31119941.

I am facing writer’s block. The calendar says, “October 1st, 2010”. Nicely digital (one and zero when dated as 10.01.10). Aside from that, I don’t see what’s special about this Friday (it’s not the 13th). Until I remember in Hanoi, the 1000th year celebration is just under way, and will last for 10 days. http://sify.com/news/vietnam-capital-hanoi-turns-millennium-old-news-international-kkbuuciffae.html…

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/24/AR2010092405221_5.html?hpid=topnews I have been a long time admirer of Danny DeVito who made it against all the Hollywood odds. Now, in the hall of Congress, we got another “against all odds” kind of guy. Congressman Cao is up for reelection. Once, you are lucky. Twice, you must be good. His district clearly needs leadership, to…

Ambivalence is a sign of maturity, the study concluded. But an ambivalent buyer produces anxiety and uncertainty. Here are the gist of a recent study, as published in the N Y Times. PEOPLE WHO SEE THE WORLD AS BLACK AND WHITE TEND TO… Speak their mind or make quick decisions. Be more predictable in making…

A recent survey by Pew found most Americans, purported to be religious, did not know common tenets about their faith. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100928/ap_on_re/us_rel_religious_literacy_poll It’s like investing in a stock, without knowing P/E etc.. I watched Charlie Rose interview Oliver Stone and the two main actors. Josh Brolin says “at least, I day traded so I knew some…
