Ultra Mobile PC

I bought a Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) , the model was Acer ASPIRE ONE. Now, I can join on Web anytime, anywhere.

My school is on the Web. So, I always want to be ready for taking classes. Because, I often go on business trips, but every week I need to make reports.


Now I'm bringing my UMPC to Starbucks. I had a good time.

Sequoia Capital

Do you know Sequoia Capital? It is famous venture capital in Silicon Valley.
They invested following company:
Apple, Google, Yahoo, Cisco Systems, Oracle, PayPal, YouTube etc.
These are massive company now.

There is a "ELEMENTS OF SUSTAINABLE COMPANIES" in Sequoia Capital's HP.

ELEMENTS OF SUSTAINABLE COMPANIES
Start-ups with these characteristics often foretells the success of a business and the likelihood of it becoming an enduring company with a sustainable business plan. We like to partner with companies that have:
CLARITY OF PURPOSE
Summarize the company's business on the back of a business card.
LARGE MARKETS
Address existing markets poised for rapid growth or change. A market on the path to a $1B potential allows for error and time for real margins to develop.
RICH CUSTOMERS
Target customers who will move fast and pay a premium for a unique offering.
FOCUS
Customers will only buy a simple product with a singular value proposition.
PAIN KILLERS
Pick the one thing that is of burning importance to the customer then delight them with a compelling solution.
THINK DIFFERENTLY
Constantly challenge conventional wisdom. Take the contrarian route. Create novel solutions. Outwit the competition.
TEAM DNA
A company’s DNA is set in the first 90 days. All team members are the smartest or most clever in their domain. "A" level founders attract an "A" level team.
AGILITY
Stealth and speed will usually help beat-out large companies.
FRUGALITY
Focus spending on what's critical. Spend only on the priorities and maximize profitability.
INFERNO
Start with only a little money. It forces discipline and focus. A huge market with customers yearning for a product developed by great engineers requires very little firepower.

Past a week, joined a business course

Past a week, I joined a business course.

The course is very difficult for me. I'm not surprised. If it is easy, I do not join it. Right? I do not know a lot of technical word. I check it up one by one. I've learned it about 2-3 hours and weekend about 8 hour.

When I finish this course, I will grow up.

Moreover I am enjoying to learn now.

My friend Wedding

I went to a wedding for my high school and university friend. He was my basketball team mate at high school.
So, I could met a lot of team mates after a long time. I enjoyed my time.

This picture was taken at wedding. There is a hart-shaped cloud. He was a lucky man.
Dishes was very good.

Entrance ceremony

I attended my entrance ceremony at graduate school. It made me very happy.

My classmates have good careers. I did not have it. So, I am glad to learn with them and I'm thinking I want to exchange knowledge and experience with everyone. So I decided to study very hard during two years. And then I want to make a social contribution.

I went to DREAM.6 last week. Once again, my brother passed me tickets, because he went to Switzerland for business.

This time, my co-worker who fondness of combat sports almost bought a ticket... So, I asked a friend from university days to come with me.
