1. What jobs will be like? shared by Jeffery SHIAU May 29, 2007

2. Agenda Globalization and worldwide competition becomes part of our daily lives The future belongs to those who adapt to the changes Learning to be a new role Who are you! ?

3. Global competition Jobs moving worldwide + international business (resource ‘flows’ and distributes all over the world) Virtual out-sourcing (compete at your door way via internet) Information visibility : boundariless and time-differenceless

4. Individual Competition What if Academic and practical experience is similar Age is similar Salary package level is similar How can you keep and even improve your employablity ?

5. Which frog are you? A frog which is thrown into boiling water will jump out of the water immediately and may survive. A frog which is placed in cold water and heated up gradually will stay in the pot and becomes part of the soup. To be successful, one must examine the interaction between himself and the environment and be brave enough to fight for the inertia.

6. Perfectionism Once there was an international dancing ternament, and during the competition a single high-heel shoe was found in the field. In order not to endanger these dancers, a judge took the left shoe away from the field. However there was no abnormal situation, and no one was found to left this shoe while dancing. At the end, a graceful dancer picked up the shoe beside the judge and put it on. It was the time all the audience know who left the shoe during the competition. The lady who lost her shoe during the competition, tip on her toes to complete the entire competition. ( What will be your choice, if you were the lady?)

7. Full time ， but not professional Opportunities save for those who get prepared. The winner devotes all the time and act as experts in the fields. ( Are you ready? Which field do you think you are the expert?) Those who succeed Do a lot more than the average, and Know a lot better than the normal. Those who succeed Are willing to devote more ， Are ready to learn more ， and Are willing to find all possible routes leading to success. PS: skills that learnt will be your intelligent assets for the rest of your life, and no one is able to take that away.

8. To believe in success No one thinks that human beings can run through one mile in one minute, and physicians and doctors raised so many scientific evidence to support this opinion. In 1945, Roger Bannister believed that he can be the very first one that establish this milestone, and he trained himself with the strong belief and he finally made it. After his success, there were 33 persons made the same success by 1956, and there were more than 300 people beat this “impossible” record by 1957.

9. There is always better solution There may not be perfect solution, however there always be better ones. Asset audit or inventory checking is routine procedures, however very few people has ever check their own intelligent inventory and try to invest and gain more. ( What is your own ‘investment’ plan to your head and career?) No one is able to teach you anything unless you wish to learn.

The key factor is The attitude willing to be changed Learning with changing Learning without change of behavior is only half-way to success, and half-way does not count for even 10% success.
