It starts with being clear about who you really are and then spending more and more of your time being that person and taking that person to work every day. Look for where your energy multiplies and go there. Avoid what drains it. (p56)
How to communicate?
Think of any communication as an opportunity to perform… I mean a performance that is compelling because you really care about it and you invest in how you present, not just what you present, because it matters to you personally to have an impact. (p164)
Own the outcome of the communication.
Think about what you try to get from the communication?
How will you motivate, interest, or excite them?
How will they be entertained- or bored?
What is the difference that you want this communication to make?
How will people’s point of view be altered if you succeed?
What will they do differently?
What will they remember about the topic – and about you?
How to make your presentation?
Own the outcome of the communication, not just the communication. We should always look into performing, not presenting.
Plan and practice your opening line.
Don’t bury the lead in your presentation.
If you have slides, rehearse an opening line and a closing line for each.
Be prepared for questions in the middle.
Give your audience very clear choice and make it really easy for them to do what you need them to do.
Be memorable. Find funny story or a personal relatable connection with your audience
Present actionable information. Ask questions like ‘What decisions will you be making based on this data?’ or ‘What action do you need this data to inform?’
If you want to own and drive meaningful business outcomes, not just talk about them, you need to actively sell your ideas.
突然我脑袋开窍,我虽然更新了几个必须要更新的library,但是OpenCV built library还是旧的。会不会是这样就好了?于是花了10分钟更新了一下OpenCV的library。重新提交了build dry-run。这可比从头到尾再做一次(2小时)省很多,感觉如果这个再不行我这几个礼拜都要怀疑人生了。
人生很多事都是如此环环相扣,真的需要很多脑力和耐心,还有时间。但是我们很多时候真的没有时间拘泥于一些和人生不是那么相关的事情上。这个build system 的issue,考虑到系统熟悉度,耐心,经验,可能也比较适合交给我做。但是它本身消耗的我的精力确实让我天天都想仰望上帝的帮助。它仿佛一条明显的路:就是build the library,但是它又充满了诸多不确定性,build 的时间又巨长,你不到最后dry-run,可能都不知道结果如何。
讓美味的烤肉開啟你明媚的夏天~週六(5月14)CCIC-SUNNYVALE 經驗豐富的燒烤師父們要在Blackberry Farm Park (21979 San Fernando Ave, Cupertino, CA 95014) 舉辦BBQ戶外活動啦。時間是11am to 6pm,12點應該可以開飯。目前感覺食物豐盛,除了如上圖的肉肉,還有各地特色麵食,水果,飲料。
Old faithful 周围的步道也有很多间歇喷泉,比如这个鼓鼓的,其实喷水可以高达20米,但是它喷发的时间不固定,中间可能间隔十几个小时甚至几天。结果我们当天回到老忠实附近等待的时候,还有幸看到了它的喷发。结果却是感觉这个喷发效果要不老忠实高不少。老忠实得名,就是因为它每隔90分钟(左右)喷发水柱一次差不多5分钟,十分准时(faithful)。周围有很多作为可以坐着等候。秋冬位置都坐不满。感觉夏季会围绕很多人。推荐观赏点就是这个牌子方向的座位,比较空旷,运气好还可以看到左侧高地其他温泉的喷发。
这一天晚上11点的飞机回家,所以有一整天在盐湖城。想着再去看看风格完全不同的地貌。看着天气还是不错,于是打算去周围最近的Arches National Park走走。这个国家公园周围还有Canyonlands National Park等公园 (后来感觉还好周围有其他的)。车程从盐湖城大约3.5小时。
还好周围还有Canyonlands National Park,没有full。结果证明Canyonlands 真的也是非常赞,而且十分适合short trip。一路往山上开,可以来到Canyonlands,这里有很好的峡谷view,也有Mesa Arch,是一个在山顶的风化石拱,也是犹他州很有特色的地貌了。在平顶山的山顶眺望峡谷也有大峡谷公园的感觉。Canyonlands上我们参观了visitor center附近的一块眺望处,还有令人震惊的Mesa Arch。时间就到下午两点多了,正好往回开。所以还好没有去Arches National Park,否则感觉时间根本不够。
