National Geographic Cameramen

“It’s never easy, you got to have passion, persistency to get a good shot.”

“to be a good wildlife cameraman, it’s not enough to equipped with good camera taking techniques, you got to be a naturalist – to know how the wildlife behaves, what they like and dislikes….etc.”

“During the process, you would face many challenges and frustrations. It’s not a chance you would face it, it’s a certainty of life. Only a man who could handle these will be success.”

“….it’s not a job, it’s a way of life.”

You Raise Me Up


When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up...
To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up...
To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up...
To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up...
To more than I can be.

You raise me up...
To more than I can be.

“Admit your mistakes.”

The Warren Buffett CEO 24: Ralph Schey III

“The way you communicate with your employees is crucial. You should talk with them and hear their concerns rather than simply being a manager who tells them what to do. You want to inspire them so they want to accomplish something.”

“Entrepreneurial spirit is powerful. Even in large companies, you should let managers have some degree of ownership so, like entrepreneurs, they can develop and grow their parts of business.”

The Warren Buffett CEO 23: Ralph Schey II

Ralph Schey says that he measures his success by “the people who I’ve inspired to do something that makes them successful. And when somebody recognizes what I did to mentor them, to get them to do something that they may not have done, and they come back and say, ‘I appreciate it,’ I feel very good about that.”

“What drives an entrepreneur is to be in control of his destiny, and to do something better than anyone else can do it….The entrepreneurial opportunity is more than just making money and creating user satisfaction with a superior product of superior value. Opportunity is manifested in changing people’s lives and envisioned.”

The Warren Buffett CEO 22: Ralph Schey I

“When we were a public company, of the roughly 200 working days a year, we probably spent at least 50 of them outside of the company, talking to public relations people, investor relations people, investment people, and others like that. We don’t do that anymore, so we have more time to concentrate on growing the business.”

Warren Buffett when talk about Ralph Schey says, “The reasons for Ralph’s success are not complicated. Ben Graham taught me 45 years ago that in investing it is not necessary to do extraordinary things to get extraordinary results. In later life, I have been surprised to find that this statement holds true in business management as well. What a manager must do is handle the basics well and not get diverted. That’s precisely Ralph’s formula. He establishes the right goals and never forgets what he set out to do. On the personal side, Ralph is a joy to work with. He’s forthright about problems and is self-confident without being self-important.”

The Warren Buffett CEO 21: Chuck Huggins

“Mandatory retirement is not a policy I endorse. As long as someone is healthy and interested in working, he or she should stay on the job. The intelligence and experience of older people can be a tremendous asset.”

“Pleasing the customer, no matter how ridiculous the issue, is important. When customers can count on something being the same over an extended period of time, they’re going to keep coming back to you.”

The Warren Buffett CEO 20: Stan Lipsey

“Sometimes the smartest decision you can make is to do nothing. I don’t like being pioneer, and I won’t be one unless I see an opportunity where the first guy is going to benefit, and I watch that very closely.”


“Trust your managers and give them autonomy. My managers run their departments so effectively that we don’t have to set budgets.”

Don't be a lemming

"You can lose a reputation that took 37 years to build in 37 seconds," Buffett told corporate leaders. "And it might take more than 37 years to build it back."

"Let's start with what is legal, but always go on to what we would feel comfortable about being printed on the front page of our local paper." – Warren Buffett, Memo to All Stars Managers, September 27th 2006.

An Inconvenient Truth 1: Sea Level

Imagine The Day After Tomorrow:
1) The Netherlands no longer exist in the world map.
2) 40 million residents of Shanghai forced to evacuate into inner part of Mainland.
3) Rebuild of World Trade Center (WTC) in New York, showing a great success of Fight against Terrorism finally done. The visitors could visit the site – but with diving clothes because it is under the sea water level.

The Warren Buffett CEO 19: Eliot and Barry Tatelman II

“We want to be the best, not the largest. That’s the most important thing. We’re not trying to own the world. I think the challenge for us is to do things in a different way than the people and see smiling faces on our employees and smiling faces on our customers.”

The way Eliot measures the company success—“with smiles. And, if that’s your motivation rather than just bottom line, then the bottom line comes anyway. It really does.”

The Warren Buffett CEO 18: Eliot and Barry Tatelman I

“There’s more than one way to skin a cat. You always think the way you do something is the best or the right way, but when we sat down and discussed how we all did things, we found out that even though other people might do things differently it can still be very successful.”

“Our biggest competitor right now is probably not in the furniture business, it’s companies that produce all kinds of consumer products.”

The Warren Buffett CEO 17: Melvyn Wolff

“Growth to come from inside the company rather than through acquisitions.”

“One thing you don’t transport is culture. …..I wouldn’t want to tackle buying them and trying to convert their culture to ours. I would rather grow it internally and not have to make changes in someone else’s company.”

“As soon as you give up the customer to someone else, you give up control over the sale and over the after-sale service….if something doesn’t run perfectly, we have no one to blame but ourselves.”

“Be open to new ideas, but don’t abandon the learnings gained by experience.”

The Warren Buffett CEO 16: Bill Child

“Integrity must be constant, in good times as well as bad. We must be honest and trustworthy with our employees, our customers, our suppliers and ourselves.”

“Provide more than what a customer expects. Added service or value is what keeps customers loyal.”

“Looking at the financials is important, but sometimes you have to go with your instincts when you’re making a business decision.”

The Warren Buffett CEO 15: Frank Rooney

“Not delegating is the single most common cause of business failures.”

“A number of key managers are paid a minimal four-figure annual salary, to which is added percentage of the company’s profits.”

“Management should keep simple.”

The Warren Buffett CEO 14: Irvin Blumkin

“First of all, knowing the business, and knowing what you know and what you don’t know. Second is working at a circle of competence and understanding it. And third is knowing what makes the business work.”

Errors that Blumkin thinks that lead to business failure are: “Becoming too big too fast, losing focus on what you do best, divesting from your core competency, and being overleveraged.”
