Have tried to create this new blog to see if it can work as one of my writing tools on the web. If it really works, then I plan to make a link from my website to this blog. Yet in the meantime I should keep a simple, stream of consciousness writing so as to accustom myself to this kind of entry.

Paradigm, System, Skills and Knowledge

-
In the coaching session I've recently attended my coach told me to conduct the so-called PSSK self-assessment. While I am not familiar with the very definition of this self-assessment, hearing its concept it seems to me that I could do it by myself without knowing the details. It is a kind of self-evaluation or rating in focusing on four areas called Paradigm, System, Skills and Knowledge. At the range from 1 to 10 what I have to do is to rate my own current "score" considering 1 is the lowest: 10 could be the highest. It looks like what I used to do for the Spiral Dynamics assessment. Perhaps this is why I felt I could do it without knowing the details Thus, what I did was: 1. Created my own definitions of all 10 levels for each area. 2. Scored my current level considering such definitions. Creating totally 40 definitions (10 levels x 4 areas) was not an easy task. But somehow I was able to enjoy it. This is perhaps because doing this task alone could be part of my thoug...

At the beginning of chapter 10 of the Gospel of John (right after chapter 9, the story of Jesus healed the blind), he started the parable of the good shepherd. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep." (John 10:1-2) The Good Shepherd by Bernhard Plockhorst As we all know, all the sheep here symbolize us, humans, who've been suffering various problems in this world from the "big issues" like poverty, violence, crimes, and injustice, to the "small issues" like conflicts, uneasiness, and unsatisfactory situations we experience each day. We are struggling with our living one way or another in blamin...

Irony, Unfair, or Opportunity

As repeatedly mentioned, so-called business process outsourcing is one of the strategic approaches to generate demands in the third world countries. These countries used to provide cheaper factory laborers. That is why; a lot of industries used to build their factories there. It is a common sense. While this trend continues even nowadays, the more prominent one is the attempt that business process as such is going to be handled in these countries. There are two reasons for this tendency. The first is that in our computer age networking systems have been incredibly advanced and achieved the real-time global infrastructure such as internet based communication; and international courier services have been also incredibly sophisticated. In such futuristic circumstance it seems that we do no longer feel any distanced inconvenience or difficulty for our communication. In short, we can experience the worldwide wholeness simultaneously in both mass media and business networking. Not only h...
