夢想的起點

The biggest difference in working for a small/medium-size firm and a corporation is the need of GOALS. I had never had to plan any goals for my career during my tenure at Wilshire. Coming to E&Y changed all that. Every year we have to set a personal development and educational goals for ourselves. Management, of course, would have goals for my position and our team. Half way through the fiscal year, we have to access our goal achievement process. I must say, it a darn big pain in the behind! This is probably one of the few things I hate about in a corporate environment. Nothing can be done without any involvement of politics!

Needless to say, this new position I have taken upon myself has a big shoe to fill. The previous person made National-wide impact changes and for me to exceed her achievement is quite a challenge. One of the team goals my management gave me is to identify three significant changes we can apply to improve the Northeast Onboarding Process. I am just... blanked!

今年初便買好的球票．雖然只是球場的倒數第三場，但依然很興奮能在老球場熄燈前再來看一次球賽．

三場完全比賽（Perfect Game），１１場無安打比賽（No-Hitter），３９個美聯冠軍（American League Pennant），２６世界大賽冠軍（World Series）．

沒有任何一個體育球隊擁有比洋基更輝煌的歷史了！

  

It's a little hard to absorb the news on the collapse of Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch. Two of what was once the five biggest investment banking firms in the world, dissolved. Earlier this year was the downfall of Bear Sterns and now Lehman and Merrill. Now what left of the big five is Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter.

I really can't comprehend how a large firm like Lehman can just go bankrupt. It really shows the importances of leadership and the daily executive decisions that's made. I really feel bad for all the employees at Lehman.. to see all their efforts and savings go down the drain. The least for Merrill employees, the company was sold to Bank of America. So at least the assets would be liquidated and even if it will get to layoffs, they will be compensate one way or another.
