A Long Journey to Nowhere

I have been with the company for twenty three (23) years. I have seen four (4) CEOs and seen the management scenes changing like a fast forward motion picture. I have seen its best and perhaps now seeing its worst. In the past where loyalty to the company was toasted by a show of the years with the company; today anything longer than five (5) seems way too much! It is viewed with lack of experience and exposure to continue to be of value.

The company culture has changed because of leadership or perhaps a better description could be powershift. The power vested in the CEO when pushed strongly down creates a generation of zoombies who will start off each conversation with the following; "the CEO said..." even though they are paid millions of dollars and supposed to know how to think. They do not think anymore. If if they did, they are not showing.

My journey of 23 years is almost ending, and the destination is barren land, where all the respect and pride are stripped off. It started as the Garden of Eden and now it is Desert of Hurt.

The garden has snakes and the desert has oasis. The human innovation can thrive whether in the garden or the desert. In this journey, I have seen the snakes and the oasis, and I am by far richer in experience and insight to move from Nowhere Land to a Somewhere Land, where I will spend time guiding people to have a safer journey through either garden or desert.

That perhaps would be my next journey.

A Blog that Integrates

As I experiment with blogspot which is part of iGoogle, I am beginning to feel its power to integrate. The article on Natural Cure, is posted directly from Google Docs (Beta) in which the original resides. This is the first time I attempted this action, and it works seamlessly. I can now easily write an article in word document, store it in Google Docs (Beta), and then publish it to my blog. If you go to the Links on the left and click on the "Pictorial Journey" you are immediately taken to Picasa, which is also part of iGoogle. In this photo storage, you are able to see what I have put in as public photos. You can also have private photos which are not shared. I have not tried video, as it takes time to edit for something that is worth sharing. Google has purchased YouTube for a few billion dollars, and this means you can integrate video as well. I am sure it can be linked to e-Bay which you buy and sell your stuffs and many more. I have to keep this experiment going to opti...

Expectation and Reality

Which parents do not wish the best for their kids? Which kids (teenagers) ever understand their parents? Hence the arrival of the generation gap. While the parents work to fill the barn with grains for a stormy future; the kids pass out the grains to demonstrate their pride in having what their contemporaries may not have. This same phenomenon is like the Chinese saying of wealth will not last three generations. The first generation painfully work hard and save to grow the wealth. The second generation appreciates this hardwork and continues to grow but use the wealth cautiously and educate the next generation. The third generation does not see the hardwork, but that they have more than sufficient to use and lose their hunger to find food. Eventually they lose it all through laziness and extravagance. The Americans spend more than they earn to sustain the growth economy of developing and emerging nations. They owe the rest of the world about thirteen trillion dollars. Here is the live ...
