incredible is the feeling when I just saw CNN interviewed citizens in New Orleans that witnessed NOPD officers looting in hotels or other people’s house. I cannot believe it so I tried myself to search the internet to disapprove those interviewed, surprisingly, after I typed “police looting” in google search, there are quite a few New Orleans incidents. To make it the proof concrete, here is a MSNBC video link showing police looting a super Walmart…

Reading the book “the one thing you need to know” is an inspriational experience. Author Marcus Buckingham tries to illustrate what does people want from a leader. There are many stories that the author shared with the reader about many different perspective, here is a interesting one… In order to lead other people, the leader has to know - what are the things? Trying to answer this question, Marcus first pointed out, ” Know somone’s fear and you know their need”, so what are the fear that somehow menifest the universals of human nature? there are five:

Fear of outsider (the need for community)
Fear of future (the need for Clarify)
Fear of chaors (the need of Authority)
Fear of insiginicance (the need for respsect)
to be short, it is SCCAR that is needed by people.

In summary, good food and beautiful place.
Before I got my current consulting assignment and came here, Greenville to me is equal to Cary to me five year ago, I’d thought this is just another town where you can only see farms… It turns out to be totally wrong.
I like the downtown area of Greenville, it really makes people feel something about downtown, that somehow reminds me the good time we had in Italy back in May 2005, here in Greenville, the entire street (Main Street) is full of all kinds resteraunt, nice or fast, whatever you like. People eat outside, reading books at street lights, girls talking on the street, coupls walking along the walk-way, very peaceful. I rarely see a city area like this…
What’s worthy of mention is falls park, which is at the end of Main Street, the liberty bridge has a really unique design, which according to my coworker, has won many design awards, let me quote something:
The bridge is 355-feet long, 12-feet wide, has a horizontal curve radius of 214-feet and 90-foot towers weighing 26 tons each. The bridge’s suspension towers stand lean downstream at a 15-degree angle. Subtle lighting in the bridge’s handrails and from underneath gives it a glowing effect. Visitors truly will feel as if they are floating over the park.
