Meet my first student

I just reading “The Last Lecture” by Randy Pausch. In this book, it mostly about how Randy live his life, his approaches to solve problem, his view, his adventure and his mentors. He shared to the audience, us, how he learned a lot from his football coach, how he met his wife and most of all, how he embrace death. On one of his chapters, he talk about his university life.

Topics of the month

This month I’m trying something new, I will post a series of article that points to same idea. The posts are solely inspired by some books I read recently, “the secret”, “happiness in hard times” series, “opening the door of your heart” and “the last lecture”.

(Less than) 3 minutes intro

Recently, the company I work for asks each of us to write a short introduction about ourselves. So that each of us can try to understand better about others. Below is mine. If I am not a web developer, I would love to be a movie reviewer.

Measuring sensibility

Curiosity re-visited

Lesson of the day: curiosity. Have you ever heard about popular quote that “Curiosity kills the cat”? Hope you heard about it 🙂 I have a scenario. Let’s say that today you have a new colleague and some guests from other overseas office. You was told that there will be dinner with the guests on different date. Your new colleague will have twice while you have only one. Would you be curious, to find out the why?

Since I studied in Melbourne before, my mom can’t do it but she still asked me to make my […]
