Encouraged by the reading of Andy Grove, funder of Intel, started and determined to keep a diary. Keep tracking the footprint of thought.

Using English to write is not easy. Sometimes, might use Chinense to move this diary forward.

System - Economy is a system, the organization of a company is a system. The process of product development, like developing a modern vehicle, is a complex procedure. How to make this system efficient - highly productive? Toyota Product Development system is os far the best. Ordered the newly published book "Toyota Product Development system". The first auther is currently working as the Engineering Director of Stamping Unit at Ford. Wondering why Ford does put him on charge of the Production development.

The newly proposed GPDS (Global Product Development System) is so complex. Even trying to understand it is not a easy job. Just wondering a process as complex and complicated as GPDS will eventually work. Will compare it with Toyota system after the book comes.

A new book titled "The Origin of Wealth" is on the shelf of Borders. Quickly went through the Preface and first several pages of the first chapter. The economic system is complex, evolutionary system. "Designed without a Designer". It's evoluting as an biological sytem


Albert Einstein's quote "Things should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler".
