I have only managed to finish the Havard Business Review. Quote from May’s issue: Tomorrow’s business landscape would well be alien territory for today’s business leaders. In the midst of a very interesting article on Leadership’s Online Labs, where IBM conduct a study on leaderships in games, compare and translate into real-world corporate contexts.

Stumble Upon two beautiful photographs taken in China, both belong to similiar theme but provide different visual angles and sentiments when you look at them.

Saint Augustine quoted: ” The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” I have embarked Year 2008 with two pages of the book, travelling to two extremely different countries, India and Japan. I definitely gained lifetime experiences and knowledge from these two trips.

Kinkaku-ji- Golden Pavilion Temple by Alex Saberi

Japan is a city with modern skyscrapers, high technology widgets, an extended network of subways and beautiful sceneries. One will never fail to be awed by the pink Sakura or the entire street of branded buildings in Ginza or the high technology widgets sold in electronics shop. Everyt little thing seems so pretty and designed with meticulous care in Japan. The people are also very courteous and warm, waving and bowing to you even if you do not purchase anything from the shop. I was extremely impressed with their services and advanced technology.

India on the other hand is less developed but catching up with its infrastructure. One of the building in New Delhi is as big as all of the buildings added together in Singapore’s Biopolis! Their economy, medical and technological advancements are definitely better than the impressions we used to have about India. Driving in India really is a very challenging task, everyone horns at each other and drives extremely close to each other, almost scratching the neighbours’ car but still avoiding accidents. I think I can never drive in India. However the gap between the wealthy and the poor is extremely unbridgeable. There are still many areas for improvements such as high level of illiteracy, poverty, and pollution. Yet I cannot wait to visit India 10 years down the road because I am sure India would be very different by then.

I am looking forward to reading the 3rd page of the World book in the near future.
