Tôi được anh Việt (đồng nghiệp của tôi) giới thiệu cuốn sách này vào tuần trước. Hai anh em đã trao đổi qua lại một đoạn trong sách, tôi thấy hay quá nên chờ anh Việt đọc xong rồi mượn. Hôm qua, tôi đọc liền mạch từ 9 giờ tối tới 12 giờ đêm thì xong, cảm giác rất háo hức muốn đọc hết chứ không để bị ngắt quãng tí nào. Tôi khá bất ngờ với tốc độ đọc của mình, hơn 300 trang sách trong 3 tiếng, mà cũng thi thoảng lật đi lật lại ngẫm nghĩ, ghi chép chứ không hề lướt cho xong. Lâu rồi mới có một cuốn sách lôi cuốn tôi thế này.  Thật lòng thì nếu không có chữ Bosch và BMW trên bìa sách thì có lẽ tôi không ấn tượng gì lắm. Vì tôi không phải một fan của Vinfast, và hầu hết các sản phẩm của Vingroup nói chung, ngoại trừ sản phẩm duy nhất mà tôi ấn tượng và ủng hộ Vingroup, đó là xe bus điện. Tôi có đọc một vài bài phỏng vấn hay báo viết về bác Huệ, nhưng cũng không có ấn tượng nhiều lắm. Đây cũng là một vấn đề, tôi nghĩ đâu đó do mình có chút thành kiến (bias) về Vingroup nên những gì liên ...

I spent 2 mornings, 30 minutes each watching this YouTube video How to Speak from Professor Patrick Winston - MIT I used to watch this video when I was searching for Presentation Training materials 3 or 4 years ago. But at that time, I did not pay much attention to 1-hour video with the lecturing style of Professor Winston. I was not patient at that time and I was looking for some quick tips for my presentation class.  Yesterday, I opened YouTube to find something to watch (after watching Cillian Murphy's interview), and luckily, I found this video. What interested me at first was 17 Million views, seriously, I think. I was curious and decided to watch the video.  I was surprised because I could understand what he was saying quite well, without using a transcript. But there were some jokes and difficult words I still need to use a transcript when watching back and Google translate.  Most of the new words I searched are quite difficult to use in normal conversation, so I ...

The topic for my English Class today is investment.  When you invest in any company, or you want to start your own company, you need to do many research. One of the frameworks to do market research is STEEP S - Social: consumer behavior demographics, religion, lifestyles, values, and advertising. T - Technology: technological advancements. It includes factors like innovation, communication, energy, transport, research and development. E - Economic: the consumers' buying position, for example, income, taxes, saving, inflation... E - Environmental: ecosystem factors such as water, wind, food, soil, energy, pollution, and environmental regulations.  P - Political: the political developments, and policies.  

Today I learned how to write an annual report in my English class.  I write down here the sample report in the textbook, it helps me to remember some vocabulary and structures.  2018 was a year of mixed results and challenges which were caused by the slow-down in the global economy and the strength of the dollar, which affected our gross profit margins . However, lower operating costs in Asia and Australia meant that we finished more strongly than expected in the fourth quarter, with growth of 3.5% on the previous quarter.  Sales revenues fell by 5% in the second quarter but after a stable / steady recovery over the next two quarters, we achieved an overall sales volume of $92 million, up 2% on 2017. Cash flow from operations was $43 million and we invested$20 million in / on capital expenditure including our internet infrastructure to enable customers to do business with us more easily. We also repaid / refunded $1 million of debt which we had borrowed to build the ne...

 I got up at 6 am this morning and looked for something to watch and I found this interesting interview. I have watched this 13-minute interview on YouTube.  Cillian's Irish accent is quite difficult for me to understand the whole interview, but I still can get some main points. - He loves his hometown so much. He said, "It (his hometown) defines who I am as a person, my values, it is just home" - He is very humble. He is now a superstar, but he does not cross the line between an actor and a superstar. He just enjoys doing his job, being an actor.  - He did work very hard in his 30 years of acting career.  - It is impossible to photocopy a red printed document (this's new to me) This is a short scene that I liked a lot while watching this video. He was in a local pub and felt the music, seemed really enjoy.

It is Tet holiday in Vietnam. Today is 1st day of the 2024 Lunar New Year. I want to note down some events and achievements I had in 2023.  Work & Learn: - Finished 2022 learning report and 2023 learning need analysis and learning plan for BD team at Shopee. It was the first time I conducted a learning need analysis for almost 1500 employees. I learned many things, from engaging and communicating with high-level stakeholders (Sr. Managers, Directors...) to designing surveys and collecting and analyzing data.  - Delivered 15 training sessions and workshops for Warehouse, Shopee Express, Shopee, and Shopee Food. It was an incredible learning experience because I had a chance to work with various leaner's backgrounds and styles. From people working in the warehouse to people working in the office. From people who deal with sellers to people who deal with buyers. From gen Z to gen X. From the North to the Sought; expats and Vietnamese. Various topics from defining the problem ...

 Below is a list of sites that I bookmarked last year.  Meet Deirdre O'Brien, the Apple executive bringing a human touch to the tech giant . I am a big fan of Apple, everything from Apple attracts me. Best advice from her: "You don't know where your path is going to lead. If you continue to learn and focus on being a great team member, helping to support everybody you work with to do great work for whatever company you are working for, then you are going to have an incredibly fulfilling career because you are developing skills that will help you in every aspect of your career and your life."
