死亡 提醒我生命的短暫
短暫到我要快去做 我熱愛的事物
短暫到我要快去擁抱 我愛的人

Good words from HBR
From Harvard Business Review:
Why Business Leaders Should Act More like Artists
http://blogs.harvardbusiness.org/maeda/2009/12/why-business-leaders-should-ac.html?cm_mmc=npv-_-WEEKLY_HOTLIST-_-DEC_2009-_-HOTLIST1207
artists are much like the kind of geeks I grew up with at MIT — passionately focused on their work with little regard to their own physical or financial circumstance, and often more comfortable working as a lone constructor instead of as a collaborative player on a larger team. So when I observed RISD students exhibiting the classic "lone wolf" traits of this kind of "creative geek," my mental model was confirmed. But when I recently spoke with two RISD textile entrepreneurs in Chicago about this stereotype, my mind fortunately re-opened.
The three aha's I received from my conversation with partners Robert Segal and Alicia Rosauer were:
Artists constantly collaborate. The example given was the common occurrence of an exhibition with multiple artists showing together, or the so-called "group show." Even in the context of a solo show, the artist works with the gallery owner, the curator, the framers, the installers, the lighting person, the publicist to bring their vision to life. Every exhibition is a collaboration to the nth degree.
Artists are talented communicators. The whole point of a work of art is to communicate something — a thought, an idea, a feeling, a vision. More explicitly, the artist frequently gives a talk to explain the thought process behind the artwork. Engaging the audience in a meaningful, expansive dialogue is often critical to the exhibition's success.
Artists learn how to learn together. Perhaps the reason why artists collaborate and socialize so well is that they learn in the studio model — ten or more students in the same room for hours on end. Bonded together in a personal space of intimate self-expression, they come into their own through the familial ties of the studio setting. When interviewed recently about the differences in her education at Brown and at RISD, one student who is getting a dual degree from both institutions said, "At RISD there's a lot of learning from your peers. Brown (in the classes I've taken so far anyway) is about listening and note-taking in class."

It is the soul that matters
Focus on the character and image will automatically come after.
Concentrate on day-to-day discipline and success will come.
After reading Maria Sharapova's case, I realized that how little FAME plays and how strong character empowers.

如果明天是世界末日...
今晚的Mad Man到達最高潮
在美國和古巴即將開戰的不確定因素下
每個人都在尋找在last moment的位置
有些人找到自己最珍惜的東西-家庭
有些人對自己喜歡已久的人表白
有些人做出一輩子最瘋狂的決定,拋下一切
如果明天是世界末日
我會做出和今日同樣的決定嗎?
這真是個很好的check point!
我還是會選擇Leo, 一起度過last minute
我還是會選擇家人, 一起說著經歷過的美好
我還是會選擇我現在想要的工作- sales&marketing in art/advertising world
我還是會守著我跟龍幫,跟barcelona的Audrey, Yohei, Yohan, Christina一起開心的日子
嗯,這麼說起來, I am on the right track!

實習日記
寫給IC的信 節錄
----------------------
現在我在魏導這邊 主要在企劃組幫忙
協助宣傳新電影的Blog (http://www.wretch.cc/blog/seediq1930 )
企劃組組長是喻婷 她找了2個助理來幫他
而我就是support她的2個助理
平常企劃組不太跟劇組的人互動
我則是常常趁中午吃飯時找劇組的人亂聊
我覺得 魏導是個很有理想平易近人且很善良的人
因此他的團隊 人都很善良 願意分享他們的經驗 說故事給我聽
這個星期一 有機會和劇組的人到林口阿榮片廠試拍
除了充當演員外 幫忙大家搬東西喬服裝
也因此和莫那魯道的孫女 還有一位原住民藝術家 聊到他們在部落的生活
和同事們一起在大太陽下流汗 共同完成一件事情
中午捧著便當時 有機會和每個人互動聊天
是個很特別的經驗 我那天其實很開心 可以幫到他們 又不用待在辦公室盯電腦
我想 可以不斷做這種累死人曬太陽到中暑的事情(還只是試拍!) 一定是對這產業懷抱高度熱情的人才能堅持下去
我很敬佩!!!
前兩天碰到了小問題 我想我可能是太白目
也可能是搞不清楚狀況
比如說心想幫忙或提簡單的想法 會被打回來
ikea的贊助..流掉 (後來他們不找ikea了)
每周的企劃組工作會議 對我來說都是一種折磨
因為 我看到了主管和屬下互動的情形
雖然我不屬於誰管 但是每當看到他門的互動時 我都會忍不住幫下面的人多想想
然後胸口會有一股熱流 很想說些什麼 最後都忍住了(都快變成阿信了:p)
昨天坐公車回家時, 想通了
我是很幸運的
碰到很多人的幫忙 碰到好老闆 去念MBA 知道甚麼是work as a team
因為看到了這些 讓我知道怎麼樣去成為好的老闆 好的teammate
很多人其實是沒有這樣的機會去經歷這些
另一件想通的事是, 我想我在魏導那邊工作 就像你之前說的 可能有人不是很舒服
不過還好是很直接 真性情的 不是背後勾心鬥角 在江湖闖蕩的人還是爽快多了!
想通了這一點
我看到了我能做的 每天就開心上班
看到我的侷限 不能幫忙的地方就讓它過去
對我來說 是很寶貴的學習:-)
今天碰到志明哥 我和他自我介紹
除了不免俗例行地接招幾個 "為什麼要去西班牙念管理" 這類問題外
他和我提到了 曹興誠宣明智等人想要成立一個 文化創意產業創投基金
魏導現在名氣大 可能有與他們合作的機會
不知道細節如何 下次志明哥有時間我會再跟他多聊聊
如果這個創投基金可以募集成功 對台灣文創產業發展是個強心針
過了2個星期 我覺得 終究還是得回去屬於我的世界
總不能一直做助理的工作 影響力太"芝麻"了
對第二年的MBA生活 開始有了方向和期待啦
雖然你說對你不用禮貌 但我還是要謝謝你(之後我會多乾幾杯的!!!) 讓我來電影公司實習
碰到了很多真性情的夥伴們 也多認識了自己
