TED talks #6


Derek Sivers
"If you tell someone your goals and they acknowledge it, psychologist I found that's it called a social reality the mines have tricked into feeling that it's already done. And then because you felt that satisfaction you're less motivated to do the actual hardware necessary so this goals against the conventional wisdom that we should tell our frieds our goals right so they called us to it."
Derek Sivers told us not to tell our own goals to others, including friends, family.  He said if we tell others our goals, the probability of success will reduce. To succeed, we should keep our mouth shut.

Connecting the dots #5

     When I was a senior high school student, I have to get the certification of "Level C technician for accounting".  To get this certification, we have to learn the Winton System which is always used by CPA firm.  I don't know why I have to learn this at that time.  I don't think it is useful for me.  However, I still learn how to use it.  Fortunately, I get the certification successfully.
     Now I am a university student.  At the beginning of being a university student, I looked for a part-time job to bear the living expenses.  Luckily, I found a job which not only can earn the cost of living but is relative to my learning, accounting.  On the first day I worked, I found that they used the same system I learn in senior high school.  I was surprised.  I was thankful that I learned this system in senior high school conscientious.  When I listen to the speech of Jobs last week, I can't agree with him anymore.
