David against the Giant?

When I rolling the web searching business news from CNN Money for my assignment, a topic listed “Dell and Intel: Big Tech behaving badly” brings my attention. Here goes the topic:
First, Intel manipulated the chip market by paid rebate to Dell, HP, Lenovo and Acer to let them stay away AMD since early 2003 to 2006.
Second, Dell got rebate around $4.3 billon, they lied their investors by putting this amount back to computer maker report pretend this is part of their operating profit. Until May 2006 Intel stop paid so called “incentive program” their operating profit server dropped off by 36%. They still keep lying to their investors, they didn’t do any wrong.
Third, Intel dealt a peace treaty with AMD and paid its rival $1.25 billion to obtain AMD dropped all lawsuits against Intel as a return.
I still remembered the day when we first time saw the AMD chipset. My boss announce it with exciting sound, he believes the new technology can bring server another future. But after that at following serial projects, a different server hadn’t been found.
We understanding the important about “free market economy” operation, but to protect a future start to against big giant should belong to government’s responsibility. To my surprise is the wording that reporter use, “naughty behavior” Intel… It seems if a company is big and reach enough, they’re bad behavior becomes tolerable and reasonable. Even though such serious finical crime “antitrust” and happen in States.

Change



I studied physiognomy and astrology since I was a child, my mother influenced me. She runs a small company; the skill helped her do the recruiting easily. She shared experience to me especially special case happened. The real cases became powerful precedents convinced me trust the skill more.
Long time pass, studied the skill becomes my regular hobby. I use it to evaluate employee, friends, and neighbors. I trust it so much; I even use it to against people who related with me. Then one day I found, only one type people surround me. The scope of friends becomes small. I realized something happen, and started to view internally my-self and the skill I used to trust.
When I found the deeply drawback my- self, I started to change. I am trying to extend the vision what I used to be.
The skill should be purpose for helping people to understand each other. To realize that individual group has each own character. If I cannot learn how to respect the difference, one day I will finally alone.

PS: I found someone is guarding me. Every time before I made big mistake, the unknown power will shows and stop me.

The Indispensable Man

I’m afraid the feeling of unsuccess, so I try my best at every challenge.
To well prepare makes me succeed,
I also dazzled by the feelings that “I’m always right”(?).
The more I win, the more I lost. I become proud without sympathy.
I can’t tolerate anyone who slows down my speed.
One day I found, my son is the one who slow down the other.
The attitude which I throw at to the others just reflects on him.
I’m sunk in profoundly depression. I introspect myself day and day.

The poem “The Indispensable Men” was I found from internet.
I print it down stick it in front of my desk,
it reminds me in every minutes must not proud.

The Indispensable Men
Sometime when you're feeling important;
Sometime when your ego 's in bloom;
Sometime when you take it for granted,
You're the best qualified in the room:
Sometime when you feel that your going,
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow these simple instructions,
And see how they humble your soul.

Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it up to the wrist,
Pull it out and the hole that's remaining,
Is a measure of how much you'll be missed.
You can splash all you wish when you enter,
You may stir up the water galore,
But stop, and you'll find that in no time,
It looks quite the same as before.

The moral of this quaint example,
Is to do just the best that you can,
Be proud of yourself but remember,
There's no indispensable man.
