My feeling

Monday, July 19th, 2010

My own feelings on airline travel, that I express in a previous post, are that the level of service on many airlines had already dropped to a level that approached all the charm of a public bus. Seth in his post also stated that: The prevalence of online video, constant skype connections and the multiple threads of data we get online, combined with the enormous overhead that flying now brings might just change the story for a long time to come. From my own experience, almost half of my previous business travel has already been replaced with video conferencing and online meetings. Along with Seth, I would expect much more business travel to be replaced by newer technology and it’s capabilities. For those who can’t do business this way and must fly commercial, it’s going to become an even more unpleasant experience.

Today’s situation

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Over the last five years, security measures have gradually eroded the way people feel about commercial air travel. Today’s events (“imminent” mid-air bomb plot disrupted) and the government’s reaction to them will, in my opinion, mark the tipping point for an enormous amount of business travel by commercial air. I’m delighted that the talented and brave investigators foiled this plot, and I’m saddened that we live in a world where something like this could even happen… the fact remains, though, that a key element of our lives has been changed, perhaps forever. When you need an additional 90 minutes, can’t bring your laptop (or even a book on some routes) and can’t have a bottle of water, the calculus for most trips is fundamentally changed. Years ago, Tom Peters argued hard and long for the value of showing up, of being there in person, of establishing a face to face relationship with the person on the other side. The prevalence of online video, constant skype connections and the multiple threads of data we get online, combined with the enormous overhead that flying now brings might just change the story for a long time to come.

Like Cinderella

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Since childhood I love magic. Sometimes I believe that I am not alone that there is someone with me or looking at me. Maybe my ghost friend or maybe my angel.
Many of us vivid the memories of the fairy tale story of Cinderella. sitting in the ashes, sad and in disarray. Cinderella is a girl that never had fun and always had to do household chores on her everyday life. Even so, she was power less to improve her condition( just like me when I look around my messy room.)
But then we all glad when Cinderella meet the prince who whisked her off to a beautiful castle, where she never had to turn her hand to do the household. I wish I can be like her. But of course it is a fairy tale. And who brought about the wonderful transformation? Why, her fairy god mother, of course.
For years I waited for my fairy godmother to show up, wave her magic wand over me, and magically change my mess into glorious order, my frustration into joy. But it will never happen. The fairy godmothernever came to my house. Nor did the elves who worked for the shoemaker while he slept. Nor did the my prince charming come, with the reviving kiss, or any of those magical things, fairy tale people whom I had subliminally pinned my hopes.
Then I learned where the magic really is and it changed my life. Magic is a dream, well I can’t just wait for magic to help me clean my room. I don’t have to wait for magic what I need to do is to clean my mess by myself

The news

Monday, October 19th, 2009

My grammar teacher asked me to watch a news show. Where I can get some ideas how a public speaker must talk and what to talk. Even some of the news that you can watch on the television there are some are scripted. But even scripted it needs a present of mind. As I watch it, i get ideas and some tips that I could write for my reviews.

But I am not that satisfied with the news and the ideas that I capture on my search so I try searching on the web for more ideas to find. The site is where you can also share ideas where anyone can report anywhere. I got interested in the site because I think this is where I can really get the ideas and the right tips for my reviews. With the site for all of the current breaking news I have found more ideas to use and I can tell my teacher about this site maybe she hasn’t notice it yet.
