Day VIII

"Who you know is more important than what you know." It seems to me, that is always the truth in my life. In the business world, what you know is just a little part, the biggest part is you know what the other people know. So you can always get many useful informations and opportunities from them. For example, if you are applying for a job
at the McDonald's while there are other 10 other people are applying for the same position at the same time, and they have more experience and education than you have. But you know the the manager pretty well, you always go to drink and hang out with him. Guess what, that will really help you to have a higher probability to get this job, and even you can't get it, you might still sitting at the first place at the wait list for the next open spot. At the same time manager is giving you "face", the mianzi. Because you get the benefit that the other people couldn't have. For the company we went today, Tasly. They show their face by the huge and well-designed buildings they have, put the awards they got on many closets, hanging many picture that taking with many famous people, like Chinese president, Hu Jintao. These things really give them many "face". Today Jun did a something that really give him "face". I hope Curd will upload the pictures, to let him have some "face". :)

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
