LISTENING
Harvard Business School, http://www.oculture.com/weblog/2007/02/business_school.html, September 28, 2006
China is one of the top country where people should start doing investment recently. Company performance of Chinese and multinational Chinese company that indicate the average return on asset is somewhere around 5% for the company operating in China. Given the business environment that seems surprisingly low. There are some success speculation, but at the same time average is not what they expected to see. Politic is so important that highly essential for China domestic company which probably could not compete very well without the help of government. Before, economic activities were very much concentrated in the area along the coast, but this strategy is no longer exist now. The other developments are hot grow in one particular area make the cost of production increase in that area. For example: Shanghai is no longer a place for cheap labour, so all grow are gradually move up a long the big river that can serve Chinese transportation for the goods that Chinese manufacture. Capital of Chinese domestic companies is still a big issue since banks do not loan to small enterprises unless they know someone who can recommend their business. It is not up to the companies to decide whether they want to be listed on the national stock market. Therefore, asset of capital is very much influences by the relationship.

How friendship is important to ME?
Living in a world without a friend, what would it be? It would be like living in a city without electricity. How could we survive? Not only humans need friend but also animal need friends to help them from not being lonely, with whom to share their sad story and to support them as we can see that zoo keeper always put two or more animal which came from the same family together. There are a lot of people spend the whole life to find a friend because not all friends are good. There are many types of friends like, short term friends, long term friends, acquaintances and good friends. All of them are so different like devils and gods. Real friends are extremely important for everybody in life “A friend will be there for you when things are good...but a TRUE friend will be there for you when things are good and also when things are very bad...and just when it feels like you will never smile again...she can put a smile on your face with just with a hug!"(By Kathrine). The value of a good friend is important and it is also a hardship to find a good friend because that kind of friend can bring us to be successful in life. Therefore, a young adult should observe and seek good friends with integrity including helpfulness, unselfishness and trustworthiness in order to bring them to be successful in life.

Stanford 2005 Graduation Ceremony
LISTENING
Three stories were given by Steve Jobs, who is co-founder and CEO of Apple, to all of graduated student from Stanford University of California. The three stories were about connecting the dots, love and loss, and dead. Each story contained lots of advices as well as experiences to all of the students; therefore, once they graduated from the school, they would survive with a better life in the real society. Begin from Steve's childhood experiences based on the first story about Connecting the Dots. Steve was adopted by a lawyer and his wife. He graduated from Stanford with a very hard life: "I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it." he said. People can not connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. The second story is about LOVE and LOSS. People have to know what they love to do and try their best to achieve it. If they have not find it yet, keep looking do not give up. Steve found what he loves to do early in life, and finally started a computer company calls Apple. Unfortunately, Steve got fire, but he did not give up and decided to start over. "The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything." Steve said. After that, Steve married Laurene and they have a wonderful family. Mistake is the best experience, so do not get upset or lose faith, and do not settle. The last story is about Death. People have to know what they are going to do at the last minute, but they have to chang something if they do not know the answer. Nobody in the entire world want to die no matter what, but they have to. Facing the death and fight back to get what we want before everything late. Life is limited so do not waste it, just hit the nail on the head. Do what we have to do and keep other things away.

Managing Risk in an Uncertain World
LISTENING
http://itunes.berkeley.edu/ (Itunes store-Business-Business Management-Managing Risk in an Uncertain World)
People in the entire world are taking risk everyday and they try to manage the risk, so that they can deal with less risk and get more benefits at the end. How can people do that? What are some strategies of taking risk away? The answer was given by Sysco company, which is one of the biggest food supply in the world. Sysco had established for 20 years in North America. It has approximately about 35000 employees in 60 countries in the world. There are couple reasons to avoid from taking risk such as: first we have to understand the risk and what kind of risk could effect the company because not all risks are bad. There are some risks that provide future benefit to the firm; however, most of risks are very negative to firm. Talking about a company, share holder value is the most significant sector, but in fact employees are even more important because they are the biggest asset of the firm. No employee no firm. Therefore, company has to protect employees and the reputation at the same time. In order to respond consistently, employees of the firm have to understand, coordinate and discus about risk throughout the cooperation and manner. The benefit from that will create efficiency within the firm and firm can manage when disasters do strike. Everybody in the firm try to make the firm from reactive to more proactive, which is from protection to growth. Make sure that employees are optimizing the risk so that they are be able to respond adequate and tolerate certain level of risk. To build an adaptable enterprise so that employees are self-optimizing and self-correcting to when they see something wrong or goes to an unappropriated way, they are be able to switch and adapt to the new risk very quickly.
Opinion:
From my point of view, I think that taking risk is sometimes good in term of future benefit because people not always have options; therefore, they have to take risk many times instead of giving up things. What we can do is try to understand it and just go over it after all. How do we do that? Doing survey is one of the best strategy for a big firm that has lots lot money to understand their risk from other people. As soon as we understand our obstacle, we can manage and fix it easily. New risk always come up after one and another, so the company has to fix it in a very fast strategy. Therefore, I think that what the firms can do is create a risk discussion group in all place, so they can figure the solution by themselve among their group. Do not forget that different palces different risks and different ways of solving problem.
Questions:
1: Why Sysco company needs to provide technology for desaster in New Orland since it isa food suppy company?
2: What will be the greates impact for a company while dealing with risk?
