　　花了3天时间在屏幕前看的
　　（插一句，多谢樵者GG的无私share)
　　
　　虽然是英文的，但看的不累
　　（再次不堪回首一下啃Virginia Woolf的辛酸过去TT）
　　
　　书不厚，传递的信息也很简单，（当然不排除是我看的比较浅）。
　　总结下来大致说的就是：
　　
　　不走寻常路，
　　
　　跟着感觉走，
　　
　　不怕失败，
　　
　　impossible is nothing，
　　
　　全情投入。。
　　
　　其中chapter 8最“功利”。告诉了一些实际的操作技巧
　　
　　不知道为什么大陆没有“引进”
　　难道是因为里面的内容太“煽动”
　　与“中庸”“和谐”的猪流思想矛盾？
　　
　　
　　如果有机会，一定会买本书，然后带在身边，
　　
　　如果被无数琐事缠住，翻翻看看，也许会有启发吧。

　　As a big fan for Stanford's culture, I have never lost my passion for what happening in the cozy campus in Palo Alto.
　　Tina Seelig has an interesting background as a professor teaching in entrepreneurship and innovation, I guess mainly because of her outspoken personality deflects her passion in the bio-lab. during my communication with her about the  Mayfield Fellows Program, I had became more than interested about her life story and how that lead to her unique career path.
　　this book seems quite a good fit for me to explore her insights from the perspective of innovation development. to sum-up her notes,
　　Embracing problem,thinking from different angles, identify the solution, take your time to clearify all assumptions, challenge yourself
　　to be continuted

　　The point is: no waiting, take the lead and just do it, then you will be the leader.
　　I am glad to read this book just the right time as i am hesitating whether i should make some change to current situation: the new company is really messy no matter in organization or process. Forget the band, Just  lead the change instead of waiting the CEO give you the plan. When you can easily find many holes, that means you are experiencing great chance to imporve yourself. After you deliver a compelling result, you will be the leader.

永远的

　　Tina 是我最重要的朋友和人生导师，五年来她一直无私地激励并帮助我，也教会了我许多人生哲理。她是个永远忙碌，缺乐于其中的人，大学时换了5次专业，读完脑外科博士却决定不从事本专业，开过公司，做过咨询师，当过出版商，她永远在追寻自己的心，永远都很快乐和积极。
　　
　　 另外，书里有写我，吼吼吼！

　　很浅显的一本书，英文不难。高中以上应该都看得懂。
　　讲得道理也很简单，但是举的实例很能说服人。
　　这样的讲述比起那些灌输式的教科书更能打动人。
　　真不愧是送给儿子20岁的礼物，如果我今年20岁，那我的30岁肯定与今天不同。

　　There was once a man named Goldberg who wanted nothing more than to be rich. So each day he went to the synagogue and prayed to God to win the lottery. This went on for days, weeks, months, and years, but Goldberg never won. Eventually, Goldberg was at his wit's end. Praying to God, he said, "You have really let me down." Suddenly the silence was broken and God responded in a booming voice, "Goldberg, you've got to help me out here. You could at least buy a ticket!"
　　
　　This is a joke from Tina Seelig's book What I Wish I Knew When I was 20.  
　　
　　While laughing to myself, I was ashamed of myself, for this joke drives home an understanding that perseverance, specific goals and unswerving faith are worth zilch without the actual doing and I have the first three but the last keys.
　　
　　I am perseverant and strong-willed and I do have a list of goals that I wanted to accomplish in 2011. Yet how many have I achieved in the last 8 months? Not many.
　　
　　Why? Because I didn't even set off toward my goals in actuality.
　　
　　I was also very ashamed of myself falling into the trap of incorrect assumption so easily that Goldberg must have bought a lottery ticket even though this was not mentioned in the story.  
　　
　　Even though I have been educated for years to be wary of making presumption/assumption, I guess I am still inclined to do it all the time, for some knowledge has been there all along that I simply forget that it could and should be a premise to be quesitoned.
　　
　　Why do I have such a strong propensity? I am asking myself as I'm typing here. I guess it's because these assumptions makes my life easier. They enable you to make immediate decisions and reactions.
　　
　　Is making assumptions/presumptions invariably a bad thing?
　　
　　I doubt it. It is also a premise that could be challenged after all, isn't it?
