The most powerful quote during my first year in MBA school
During my first year in MBA school, I participated in a variety of events. As a MBA student, attending events not only open up door of opportunities, but also help me to stay current with various industries. Amongst all of the events I attended and advises I received, I remember one quote most vividly. It was from David Abrutyn, Senior Vice President, Global Head of Consulting IMG in Sports Events Marketing Experience Conference.
David showed participants the following video. Check out 3:36~4:07
“If you are going to be successful, you gotta be willing to give up sleep!”
Notes for Tough Mudder Mid-Atlantic Event

What`s Tough Mudder? It is a 10-12 mile hardcore obstacle game, designed by British Special Forces to test participants` overall strength, stamina, coordination, and teamwork. In each half mile, there is one obstacle. Most of the time, you need to cooperate with your teammates to get through the obstacle. Continue reading
2013 NBA Final Heat vs Spurs Game 4賽後分析
第四戰看下來, 馬刺的靈魂人物在Parker無誤, 他的P&R造成熱火很大的麻煩, 帳面助攻也許不多, 但他傳導到內線, 在從內線導傳給外線射手, 是馬刺最強大的武器.現在問題來了, Parker上場傳出受傷後, 一度有風聲以為他不會打G4, 但他上半場打得虎虎生風讓大家忘了他受傷一事, 不過下半場他就縮了回去. Popo調度頻繁, 讓Parker有喘息的時間, Parker開賽就打了一波高潮, 他休息直接被追回來. Parker的上場時間跟健康因素會是馬刺的贏球指標. Continue reading
WWE-More than a show
Yesterday I fulfilled one of my dreams since childhood: watching WWE in Patriot Center in person.
What? This is your dream? What an absurd one! Some people might laugh at me. As a hardcode fan that has been watched professional wrestle (including all japan pro wrestling) for more than a decade, I know what your impressions are: WWE is nothing but a fake sports, or even not deserved to be titled as sports.
Indeed, WWE is scripted. It creates good and bad characters, its result is pre-determined, and worst of all, it has its athletes, or superstars so do speak, to act.
I realize all of the above comments; However, I still enjoy watching it. WWE stands for world wrestle entertainment. It used to be called WWF, world wrestle federation, and federation was changed into entertainment in 2002. If you realized the meaning of entertainment, you should not have judged the authenticity. Those superstars train themselves with effort and discipline. They endure severe pains and risk their lives for potential injury to perform at the highest level. They spend more than 300 days traveling and performing for their fans from city to city and country to country. Most importantly, they are passionate as to what they do and their lives are devoted to their jobs.
When I saw how muscular WWE superstars were in the arena, immediately I realize how tirelessly they train themselves in the gym. If you respected a person by how dedicated s/he is toward his profession, WWE superstars should have earned your respect. They might not be the traditional athletes in your mind, but certainly they deserve your respects as professional performers.
