I cleaned my keyboard today.
It was starting to look very dirty.
I was not sure if it was okay to clean it with wet wipes. But I did anyway.
For a while after the clean up, the keyboard stopped responding.
I thought I just killed the keyboard, but after while it came back.
I guess it needed to dry out.

Leadership,
"If words of command are not clear and distinct, if orders are not thoroughly understood, then the general is to blame. But, if orders are clear and the soldiers nevertheless disobey, then it is the fault of their officers" . Have you heard of this before? It comes from Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War”. This was written roughly 500 years BC but it can be applied to business operations today.
"Show one, tell one what to do, let one do it, and furthermore praise one; if not, anyone won’t work well ". This is not as famous as the first one in the U.S., but this was the words of Yamamoto Isoroku, Japanese admiral.
"Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity". How about this one? Do you know who said this? It was General George S. Patton.
Don’t you think it is interesting that China and Japanese generals treat people like objects and teach and communicate to them what and how to do things. But the Western general tells people what he wants to accomplish and lets his people come up with the way.
We are rebuilding Dreamersi.com website to make sure people can buy domain and setup web and email without talking to people. It is coming soon. Of cause you can always talk to me or other members of PSPinc.

I see more and more restaurants adopting to Kiosk based ordering.
This is to reduce the need for people and reduce problems associated with money handling. Japan has been using this machine based ordering system for along time. US is now is catching up.

Ga-Ma-N
Ga-Ma-N is a Japanese word that has no word in the English dictionary. It is sometimes translated as “endure”, “persevere” and “tolerate”. But those words are not describing how the word is used.
When a child falls and hurts himself, the child usually cries. At that point, parents may tell the child to “Ga-Man-N”. What it means is that “we know you are hurting, but do not show that to the public. Keep it to yourself.”
Why would anyone “Ga-Ma-N”?
By Ga-Man-N, you are showing how strong you are. The act of Ga-Ma-N or being able to Ga-Ma-N is considered one of the virtues in Japanese society. If you cannot Ga-Ma-N, you are considered weak. I guess this comes from the samurai society.
There are a lot of things people want to do and want to say. But in Japanese society, non-action or silence (Ga-Ma-N) is believed to be more preferred. Japanese do not like direct conflict. But then something passes the point of being Ga-Ma-N, you will see another side of calm. Let’s try not to get there.
PS: When you pass the line of Ga-Ma-N … People say “Ga-Ma-N Dekinai”, “I cannot hold it anymore.”
![I would not hire people driving...]()
I would not hire people driving the car with tires like this.
But that is just me.
When you come to job interview, you dress up.
When you come to work, you dress up in business appropriate attire.
Your company car represent your company.
Those are the things I look at to judge the company.
The the service car shows up with the dinged car with worn off tire, you really think twice about using the company. Or you just care about the price?
