What should yough people do

Being a human, we usually show the same manner when we process / receive / learn / handle things or people. That is having a great expectation on people more than ourself. We always say or think something like

• "Why does this javascript library only support those browsers" - Although that guy doesn't really know what other feature is
• "Can you explain this technique in simplest way in order we can get the basic ideas" - Although latter he may say "This stuff also has a lot cool features. Why don't you present them at the beginning"
• "Hey, that guy likes an idiot. How can he say that." -Although they don't realize the idea behind
•  ...
  

That's normal. I know because I'm too. But I would like to find out the reason, at least the one I can understand, not very fancy. After observing people in my office, I see why. When you have to get new thing / idea (usually bad, trouble or you don't really like it). There are two kind of response

1. You ask the author of thing / idea all questions come up from your mind even ones that people expect you to answer or do. We almost fall to this kind and I think if you aren't this type of person, it's a bit difficult to work with them.
2. You receive the basic info and then go on your own way. If you need some extra, you'll ask latter. This type of person usually don't show their opinion right way and they tend to see the issue in their own view. Maybe it isn't quite correct but they like to.
   

The manner having great expectation on other people is used usually by people in first type. I think the possible reason is that it is easy to criticize anything that you don't involve. Is it true ? At least it's the scenes I have seen. Therefore, if you want to be somebody that is different, a little bit special, why don't we jump to the second one? It isn't bad. Just behave in opposite manner. I know it sounds pure theory but the best way to get to know something new is "just do it" (I learned from my delivery director).

I think, when you are trying to do that, actually you are improving yourself (more technical, refactoring yourself. :-). Basically, people isn't perfect when they were born, so you are allocated a 30 years timeframe to be better enough for future.I have been refactoring myself a year ago. Maybe it's not long enough but better late than never.

To train myself, I always do following things:

• think first, don't give any opinion or conclusion
• understand other's view about the issue before resolve in my own way
• reading
• asking, even it's silly question
• guide people what thing I know, that is the best way to review and improve communication skills
• smile
• sense of humor
  

Do you know the message I want to say. hopefully you do :-)

c:\>clr

What's CLR ? It's just a DOS command to clear the screen :-).

So how it comes into this post ? Well, it means I will start using blog again as a real blogger. I want to write my thought, life and career in a professional way. Ok, let CLR the previous posts and start again now.

P/S: I write this post and push it to blog via email but how can I put tag into post ? Still searching ...

How to know what social network is

Hmm, I have heart about this term a lot but have no idea what it is ? 



So today I spent about 2 hours to browse and go though some service on Facebook, one of most popular social network that I know. In general, it's cool. But I currently have no friend  . Anyway. it's ok. I'll find some latter.

I'm using Flock for blogging, sharing image and getting news with RSS.  Specially RSS,  I don't know which application is the best,  Google Reader or Flock. The only RSS problem in Flock is it uses local store for rss subscription and I don't like it. I prefer storing online for easy synchronization.

it seems I talk too much. Come on, get back to discover Facebook, man

Blogged with the Flock Browser

Flock

How can I say about Flock? Is it really cool? 
It say Flock is a browser for web 2.0. So what is web 2.0? Does it like this picture ?



This post was written in Flock with Web Clipboard tool to help my insert image from web and my favourite image service (Google Picasa).

Man, it's time to work 

Blogged with the Flock Browser

Keep going

Once again, my battery is recharged and the goal becomes clear now.

Nothing is impossible

What are you doing at this moment in Brisbane? Will we meet again?

Tản mạn về Chè và "thức ăn đi ngược từ bao từ ra bên ngoài" (ói)

Có
những loại chè thanh tao, sang trọng của chốn cung đình xưa như chè hạt
sen, chè nhãn bọc hạt sen, chè hạt lựu... Cũng có cả những thứ chè rất
bình dân như chè bắp, chè đậu ván, chè môn, chè khoai mài... Nếu muốn
thưởng thức hết hương vị Cố đô thì chỉ nếm chè, chắc bạn cũng phải ở
Huế dài dài...



Ở Huế có tới mấy chục loại chè, sang trọng, đài
các có, bình dân có. Nói Huế - 36 thứ chè là cách nói để chỉ số nhiều,
mà đúng là nhiều thật, có khi nhiều hơn cũng nên! Mỗi loại chè có một
hương vị đặc biệt riêng, quyến rũ lắm.



Trong chốn cung vua, phủ
chúa xưa hay trong các nhà giàu có, nhiều loại chè thanh tao mà cầu kỳ
như chè hạt sen, chè nhãn bọc hạt sen, chè hạt lựu... Hạt sen phải là
hạt của giống sen hồ Tịnh Tâm, loại sen mà vua thường dùng ướp trà.



Hạt
sen tươi bỏ vỏ, xoi tim, rửa sạch, hấp chín, rim đường. Nhãn lồng bỏ
vỏ, xoi hạt, rửa sạch cho hạt sen đã rim đường vào thay thế cho hạt
nhãn. Nấu nước đường thật trong để nguội. Nhãn hạt sen cho vào bát,
nước đường đổ lên trên. Loại chè này ngọt thanh, vừa thơm vừa bùi.




Chè "thập cẩm" là tổng hợp của nhiều loại chè
như chè đậu xanh dừa, chè đậu huyết, chè bột lọc... Mỗi thứ múc một tí
cho vào ly, thêm đá, thêm tí nước cốt dừa.

Và có 1 loại chè mà khi ăn bạn sẽ nhớ mãi, đó là một loại chè của người Hoa: chè mè đen (không biết có chính xác không). Sau khi ăn bạn sẽ cảm nhận vị ngọt của đường, mùi thơm của mè đen và điều khó quên nhất là bạn siêng tập thể dục hơn bằng cách thường xuyên chạy xuống restroom.

Con xin chừa, không dám ăn chè nữa

Show off

I like it, although it isn't special much. But it's the first hi-tech tools I have.

First, my baby, I meet you everyday



And from another shot :D




And second, my auto-machine teller :)








Finally, my English friend :))




That's all, new version will be available when I get new salary :p

no thinking note

It has been a long time that I didn't write any post. Frankly, I'm lazy and not a good writer. Anyway, writing blog in English is always a good practicing for English. So I must do :D (although i'm not really a blogger)

In following week, for me there are many changes. First, I finished my piece of work on PDF in FirstPoint. Oh, it was a tough task because my implementation was tied closely with an other component - Numbering service. When something wrong with that service like adding new feature and changing logic, my PDF got wrong. Anyway, it would be ok right now. There is a small problem now but it's ok for me to fix because all team need involving (not only me) :D. Second, I found my lost friend. We didn't talk together for a year due to some misunderstanding. Maybe we can get along from now but I'm sure that it won't be like before. I'm going to hang out with that guy at 7pm, it would be fun with launching and asking salary each other. I guess so :p. And third item, I find a new field to apply to my environment - Shell promgramming. I love Linux, and someday I really want Windows to have something like Bash shell. Now it's true and I really want to get to know new Windows shell. I hope I can know well it for 1 month researching and do a seminar for team and a writing to my firm newspaper.

Finally, I'm taking an TOEIC test again to check my English skill. Maybe it would have good improvement after 4 months using English. Maybe I can get 800 or 750 to earn 30$ from firm :D.

It's unbelievable, I can write this post and don't use any dictionary like before. Maybe it has some mistake, grammar or word using, but I know I'm getting better.

P/S: It will have two wedding parties next month. poor me :(
