PROFESSOR JARON LIU'S THEORY ON SUN APPROXIMITY

During an entrepreneur seminar yesterday, I (kaihong) had the privilege of having an insightful discussion with my band of brothers' member, very good friend and colleague Professor Jaron Liu.

He introduced the his latest paper, the Theory on Sun Approximity to a few of us.

Prof Liu: Dudes, I heard you guys going Vermont tml. Have a good trip.

me: yah, it will be cold. dunno how much clothes to bring.

Prof Liu: Dudes! You dun have to bring that many. It will be hot.
THE HIGHER YOU GO, THE HOTTER IT IS.

me: huh? how come?

Prof Liu: you get nearer to the sun, dude. It's hot.

me: bleah. den why ppl wear winter clothings up Everest?

Prof Liu: Everest is an ICE MOUNTAIN.

I don't know how many people can say out proud, " I LOVE MY COMPANY, THE REASON I WAKE UP IS TO GO TO WORK."

I love Applied Clinical Intelligence. I just love it. Why, you ask. Because they are willing to let me learn, despite me not being as capable as I wish I could be. They still let me learn and open opportunities and doorways for me to try.

A couple of days ago, Liza, my supervisor brought me along with her "shopping" for a party place for our annual holiday party. As we drove around, I had a good chat with her - about her life, our company, my life and our NOC programe - what a rare chance it is that we have time to "chat", if you will.

And how i enjoyed it. Getting to know Liza beyond work - to get to know her better as a person. The sheer joy of that short trip, alas - but a bit too short lived

Also, I had "begged" Jon, the CEO of my company to allow me to tag along for a DMC meeting. I would give anything to go for that, I know what an eye operner that experience will be. The earlier week, he had let me sit in one of their meetings as well and I learnt so much fom just being in the company of wise men, talking about things that make me only realise how much more I have to learn- how much longer I will have to walk down this path of discovery. But I am elated and excited, nonetheless.

ACI has allowed me to learn, they have trusted me when I have not yet proven myself, they have allowed me the space to grow, to ask questions and to be me. They have made me understand how it is like to be gracious - how grateful i am to be part of this greater organization. How fantastic it is to go to work eveyday yet not feel like its having to be doing any work.

I finally understand when they say "choose something you like as a job and you don't have to ever work one day"

I am spurred on to work hard because I truly care and feel for my company. This is my company - I will defend it with my life.
