Blue Ocean, Red Ocean

Day 92 - 908 days to go

While I was using gmail and planned to make a call using Skype, suddenly I saw a dialing pad in the gmail itself. Then only I realise that google also offers internet phone similar to Skype. I am not sure google launch the internet phone for how long but based on the number of users for gmail, I think this will be a success.

Nowadays, all businesses are facing more and more competition. A unique idea or business model will be copied and improved easily by other companies. In this competition, google use price war to attract users. First of all, all phone called within US and Canada is free of charge. Secondly, call to other countries are mostly, if not all, cheaper than Skype charges.

Look like two giants - Microsoft Skype and google will have more business competition in future. Of course consumer like me will be happy to enjoy better service and lower rates.

Happy events:

  1. I have clarified my staff's frustration and we know each other better now. I pointed out a few things that he could have done better. He accepted it with open mind. With his intelligence, good attitude, hard working and a pleasant personality, I am sure he will be successful in future. However, I hope he will apply what I taught him and continue to be guided by me for the next few years in order to excel further.
  2. I learned that to be patient is one of the best solutions for many difficult situations. Sometime, when you are patient and wait for a few days, issues will be solved naturally without much efforts.
