PJ Program: Goals
Career
1. To find a job in a field that is interesting, stretches my capabilities and pays well, with a global outlook (and not just China-focused)
Fields to look at and consider: alternative energy and sustainable development funds, VC firms, management consulting, investment banking, financial services firms.
2. To improve my skills set, and to increase my flexibility of working anywhere in the world. This can be done in private through personal reading, but also through courses and additional degrees taken with recognized universities and institutions.
Play
Areas to explore: tango dancing (with partner), salsa-dancing, aikido, Hindi and German language classes, homebrewing.
Areas to improve:
German: to improve vocabulary and to write regularly to German friends as practice.
Mathematics: read and practice with existing Schaum's series, and through Boas.
Reading list: Warren Buffett Way, Jack Welch's "Winning", re-read "Getting Things Done", Corporate Finance textbook by Ross Westerfield ANd Jaffe, The Tipping Point, 李敖的《情书集》和《为自由招魂》
Sports and Physical health
Basketball: To work on teamplay with friends, and to work on individual skills.
Swimming: to improve stamina through practicing good swimming technique (learning through Total Immersion system book)
Overall fitness: to improve strength and stamina through swimming, weights and calisthetics.
Spirituality and Happiness
Meditation: to practice anapanasati (focusing on the breath) everyday as long as comfortable. Build up to an hour if possible.
To practice vipassana in between.
Personal Weaknesses
When arguing with someone or listening to someone say something about a matter of passion, to practice active listening skills and to listen to what others have to say, without expressing judgement or opinion.
Volunteer work
To look for volunteering opportunities in areas of interest: environmental and clean energy, racial relations, Buddhism, child care, helping the elderly.
If opportunities do not exist, to MAKE these opportunities.
