Critical things

Woke up early in the morning, some how my brain was spinning with my golf swing which has been bugged me for a while: even with big improvement of weight shift, my ball striking quality is still quite shaky. Last sunday I found it was because of my wrist was not hinged at impact zone, which is one of the most critical things. I have spent a lot effort on weight shift and realized this is very critical for the rest of the swing, but the wrist hinge at impact is another very critical factor which some how I ranked it not as critical as weight shift. Another thing is shoulder sink during impact. These 3 factors are the most critical things to bear in mind. My previous strategy was to prioritize them and solve them one by one, that said, I want to do it in this way: A(100), B(50), C(40), then A(100), B(100),C(50), and last A(100), B(100), C(100). But now I realize this strategy doesn't seem to work the best. I would like to change the strategy in this way: A(60), B(60), C(60) --> A(80), B(80), C(80) -- > A(90), B(90), C(90). It is probably is more balanced and more effective way.

雾夜

大雾的夜晚, 往往让人有一种想象空间突然增加的感觉. 车房外一个人都没有, 只有偶尔听到BART和TRAIN到站的声音. 挥杆时思路异常的清晰, 几种重要的技术动作好象都自然地串通一气, 全身的肌肉也没有昨天那么僵硬. 雾气使路灯显得特别的明亮, 空气则是有一种清凉但不寒的舒服. 眼前的大片空地, 右边的山, 天空下只有自己一人, 这时候, 才有一点体会到所谓"天人合一"其实就是让自己的心安静下来, 体会一下和大自然的联系. 而高尔夫球也正是让人有这样感捂的运动, 真是神奇.

Something worth noticing today on WSJ report:
Today Henry Paulson suddenly made decision to switch gun to consumer credit issue and decide to stop buying defaulted assets.

Details not fixed yet:
help to loose up auto loan, student loan or even mortgage, encourage private company to borrow money from Treasury to buy asset, issue commerce paper etc.

Won't force bank to loan money after getting $$ from Fed.

Won't assist Auto industry.

leadership and innovation ( post something I wrote before)

Last Friday KTSF interviewed a former Chinese Dotcom CTO
and an Director from a big company (she was my alumna by
chance, so  I payed attention to the show:-). They
talked about leadership and innovation, which I got
some deep impression.  Leadership and innovation were
used to be different concepts, such as leadership is
giving people the impression of being strong,
demanding, people skills, having vision and influence
etc. While innovation is always involoved with coming
up with new product and technology, scientic or
engineering stuff. But imin Lee (she is from cisco,
and she was the CEO of a startup company acquired by
cisco) said innovation should include business model
since science has developed so fast that application
of technology in business application has become very
critical. In that sense, innovation in developing new
business model is also counted, which might be ignored
or narrowed out.  And the Netease CTO said, innovation
should include the ways of get things done
(做事的方法). He seems to come from management side,
so his mind set was from management, team buildin, and
hiring the right person etc.

The integration of leadership and innovation should
apply to every aspect of work. Leading not only needs
authority and efficiency, but also innovation. A
leader should have both these characters and skills.
And leadership and innovation should not be talked and
studied seperately. We chinese many times are afraid
to lead -- leading almost is interpreted as people
management which we think we are not good at it; we
chinese maybe good at innovation at technology, but
may not be very good a business applications. That may
makes us to be a hardworking people, but may not be
successful people. So their opinion is nowadays
leading must be associated with innovation. And
innovation must rely on leadership to implement and
drive things and get things done. Ipod might not be a
new technology, but it leads to the change of life
style. 

The following is my own thoughts:
And in personal life, we also need leadership and
innovation skills, that includes living by yourself,
with family, group of friends and within a community.
leadership skills make you dare to voice your voice,
to implement your desire to make changes, and
communicate with others.  Innovation can make you do
things smartly and differently from conventional
routine. Having the innovation mindset also drive you
to find alternatives, do others don't dare to do. That
would make your life and the life of people around you
a lot different. 

Life is a contrary game

Just like golf is a contrary game:

• If you want to hit a ball high with iron, you have to hit it down, not up.

• If you are anxious to see the result of your swing by lifting your head earlier, you might end up messing it up. The key is to delay lifting your head and don't be anxious to know the result. Focus on the ball by looking at until you no longer can keep your eye on it.
• If you want to play it well and play it hard, you might end up playing it bad. If you don't care on the result, instead focus on details, you might play well.

How about life, quite similar:

• If you are stingy and want to save $$, you might end up loosing $$
• If you are anxious to be successful, you might end up with nothing. Rather, if you stick with you interest and enjoy doing what you are doing, you are already successful.
• If you want to be perfect, don't try to fix your weakness. Rather continue to work on your strength.
  
• If you want someone to be perfect, don't change him/her. Treat him/her as if he/she is perfect.
  
• If you want to be happy, then you have to bear the toughness.
• Your heart might not be lonely when you are alone. While you are surrounded by people, your heart might be lonely.
• When things are bad, thinking good things will be coming. When things are good, think bad.
• If you want to get someone, let him/her leave. If you grasp someone, she/he might leave.
  

有多少爱可以重来

有多少爱可以重来 常常责怪自己 当初不应该 常常后悔没有 把你留下来 为什么明明相爱到最后 还是要分开 是否我们总是徘徊在心门之外 谁知道又和你 相遇在人海 命运如此安排 总叫人无奈 这些年过得不好不坏 只是好象少了一个人存在 而我渐渐明白 你仍然是我不变的关怀 有多少爱 可以重来 有多少人 愿意等待 当懂得珍惜以后回来 却不知那份爱会不会还在 有多少爱 可以重来 有多少人 值得等待 当爱情已经桑田沧海 是否还有勇气去爱
