IFL97-2001 Gathering

This is a group of IFL97-2001 always make gathering every year. But, this time, the gathering is diffrent from the previous ones. For the first time, we have arranged for a such event at restaurant in the afternoon, but this time , the our gathering took place on the boat.

It's an occasion get together with old friends and share some experience and especially laughs as well as strengthen our friendship. What's more, it's also a golden opportunity to hurstle contact and making a new friend. There is a remarkable fact which many people bring the wife and the wife-to-be to join with us. However, there are some people always ask me when I am going to marry. I feel shy to answer question back. It's really embarrassed. Most of them are married, only fours are single. So.....I hope I will find one soon. The next gathering I will be not ashamed of the same question by presenting them my real partner.

This meeting is not simply dropping off our stress at workplace but also a chance to moving forward our friendship bond and ties.Plus, The importance of the friendship can never be underestimated as it forms the most basic unit of organisation in the society. In my opinion, we live in the new era of interdepence, thus the friendship is very strong and the most value. By doing so, we can make the world living in peace and harmony.

It was very great and enjoyable. Cheers IFL 97-2001 !

A Good Government

A democratic system gives people the right to choose their own leaders throught regular elections. " By People, For People, Of People" is the main concept of popular democracy. What's more, a democratic system has a written Constitution, except United Kingdom of England, which guarantees certain rights of the people and establishes a code of laws in which even the ruling elite must to abide by.

The basic requirement of a good government are political pluralism, judicial independence, equality before the law, civil liberties and human rights. A government can not wield its power arbitrarily without complying with the law of the country, keep itself clean and free from corruption, most importantly protect every citizen from crime and injustice.

The government should seek to reach out to the people and understand their needs and problems. Generally speaking, a good government is not the ruler but a good servant.

A Change is gonna come

A Change is the new word too often using by the President of America Barack Obama during his presidential election campaign. As to me, Change is not the new one, but it seems to be the new concept and initiative. Change must be done and followed by a right action on the right time. What's more, integrity and power of will are the determined factors to success.

In reality, in times of crisis, everything needs to change in order to tackle with the problems. Theoretically, all the crisis are not the same, new crisis, new solution. However, Models for Change should accelerate progress toward a more rational, effective, fair and transparent. If there is a lack of creativity and innovative, everything will be the same. A person who is imaginative is someone who has great creative powers and insight. His mind is a fertile bedrock for innovative concpets. Such people dare to venture into the unknown and unexplained and transform novel ideas into reality.

Today, I dare to say it's the Second Great Depression. If we don't fight it, we have to live with it in a terrible and miserable conditions. If we dont start a real purpose action from now on, it will make a strong resistance in the future. Don't let the a little messy become a big trouble. So, it's time to fight against those evil and catastrophe.

Great American drama television series

Commander in Chief and West Wing are the America drama TV series talking about the Work of President and The White House.

It's very enjoyable and interesting fiction movie. Being a leader of America is not an easy task, it's the most difficult, important, and powerful job. That's why, the whole image and strenght of America depends on the people working closely with the President.

Those people are included Chief of Staff is equivalent to Chief of President or Prime Minister's cabinet. Along with the speechwriter and Press Secretary , Director of Communication plays an important role to deal with the President's agenda and media. In addiction, chairman of the joints chiefs of staff works closely and directly with the President and the Secretary of Defense in the time of crisis in the Situation Room inside the White House building complex.

COMMANDER IN CHIEF

West Wing

It's really great movie I have never seen before. I enjoy watching it too much. It leads me to know how the President works. What's more, it makes me understand who is the most influential person in the President's office.

If you want to know more, please watch it.

Time Vs Action

The wrong action at the wrong time leads to DISASTER

The right action at the wrong time brings RESISTANCE

The wrong action at the right time is a MISTAKE

The right action at the right time results in SUCCESS

Does wealth deem as success in life?

In my society, success in life is often equated with having a career which earns a large salary, driving a luxury car and living in very spacious village. Such status symbols are often taken as critierion in evaluating the success of a person because they are considered as very difficult to achieve.

In my opinion, I feel that there are certain more intangible aspects of life which is more important in determining of a person's life. One basice criteria which I feel that cannot be qualified is happiness and being healthy. Even if a person can have all the money in the world but he feels sad and dejected than he would feel that his life is empty and barren. On the other hand, an ordinary man may be contented with his life because he feels the joy in his life from having a happy family or having many good friends.

Every person has the potential to realize their own dreams. As to me, wealth is transient and it is useless compared to the more enduring elements of a person's life like DIGNITY, RESPECT, LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, AND HAPPINESS. These things we cannot use the money to buy it, it comes from the PURE HEART, the RIGHT ACTION, WELL-BEHAVED.

If there is a will, there is a way

I think it is important that each of us should keep hope and dream in mind . Hopes and dreams come to fill with perseverance and the real commitment on the right way. When we are without hope, then our body becomes lost of energy and power.

If we think optimistically, then the power of positive thinking will bring good results, even if it takes time to reach us. On the other hand, if we think pessimistically, bad results will certainly follow.

So, I would like you to believe that everything is still possible and learn to be a good thinker.

HAPPY BSG DAY !

WISH YOU ALL SUCCESS, GOOD LUCK AND PROSPERITY

SMART POWER

What is power? Power is the way how to influence the others to get the outcomes one wants. There are several ways to affect the behavior of others.

• You can coerce them with threats.
• You can induce them with payments.
• Or you can attract or co-opt them.

SMART POWER = HARD POWER + SOFT POWER

The changing structure of contemporary international relations is reflected in the fall of bipolars super powers and the rise of China and India. Today, a win-win strategy were used in a diplomatic interstate relations, not a carrot-and-stick. In the actual global context, it's the phase of understanding and cooperation in exchange of economic, and trade. So, in the present phase of internationl relations, the soft power are used to gain advantages over the rival. However, the hard power is also used sometimes in the difficult times, for example, the Afghan war.

HARD POWER means to coerce by military or other means such as an economic embargo etc...

SOFT POWER means the power to convince and persuade through trade, diplomacy, aid and the spread of values.

If America want to restore its image on the international arena and a leader of the world, it should learn to co-operate and listen.

New Face of US Government

THE MOST POWERFUL AND INFLUENCED PERSON IN THE BARACK OBAMA'S CABINET

Secretary of State: Sen. Hillary Clinton

"America cannot solve these crises without the world and the world cannot solve them without America." said Hillary Clinton. According to her, it's a multilateral diplomacy as a smart power to win over terrorism and the global economic crisis.

National Security Adviser: Retired Marine Gen. James Jones

"I personally don't believe that the United States can afford to be perceived as having not been successful in either Iraq or Afghanistan, and I think the consequences for such a perception or such a reality will be with us for years to come in terms of our ability to be a nation of great influence in the 21st century." — Testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee (Sept. 6, 2007).

Homeland Security Secretary: Gov. Janet Napolitano

"She's kind of a female Hubert Humphrey, a real happy warrior." (Arizona Democratic fundraiser Fred DuVal, to TIME in 2007)

Defense Secretary: Robert Gates, a holdover from Bush administration

"Bob Gates understands that the secret to successful leadership lies in the willingness to accept counsel and advice from many people, both inside and outside of government. When facts and circumstances change or when mistakes are made, we must have a Secretary of Defense who listens, who understands, who corrects errors rapidly, and who adapts to reality." — Former Senator Sam Nunn on what makes Gates a good boss (December 6, 2006).

The new administration is taking office on January , 20 . Let's wait and see what's going to change under the new leadership of the first black American. The America changes, So does the rest of the world.

The thing I hate most

From my point of view, one personality is not enough to deal with all situations. Surely, we all share view that no one can be perfect. There must be a good and a bad. However, it's significant to ask yourself if you are good enough. In reality, everything has its own standard. Some people will never be able to know his/her fault even he/she is told by the other. More importantly, it should keep in mind that reckless mistakes are certainly forgivable but not intentional one is not allowed. So, let's focus on good habits.

Someone used to tell me " Think before Say Something" I will keep it in mind but honestly I slip out of tongue on talking with the close ones sometime, it's not my real purpose. So, It makes me recall the French Slogan said" La parole est d'argent, mais le silence est d'or".

The thing I really hate the most is blaming me before someone else because it make me think I lose face. Dignity and good reputation are my want. As far as I am concerning, these both things are important than money. In that respect, I would be happy and thank if they can talk face to face with me. Frankly, I am neither good at making an arguement nor quarrels but also giving a curse. In my whole life, when I hear people making a strong argument or dispute I always walk away from the scene. Thanks to my best friend who give me the best advice, I should have something haves and haves-not.
