“Rumor has it”, love this song. Either Adele or Glee version is both great.
Phạm Đình Nguyên - doanh nhân mua thị trấn Mỹ
Sáng nay đọc tin này về anh Nguyên thật bất ngờ.
Bất ngờ vì cứ nghĩ người Việt Nam mua đứt 1 thị trấn của Mỹ phải là một đại gia nào đấy.
Nhưng không ngờ là một người anh, một đồng nghiệp cũ ở ICP.
Vẫn biết anh là người dám nghĩ dám làm, nhưng làm quả này thì đúng là chẳng ai dám nghĩ, ít người có thể làm.
“Ý tưởng mua một thị trấn chỉ mới cách đây không đầy hai tuần khi tôi tình cờ đọc được tin trên báo mạng. Thành thật mà nói, tôi chưa có một kế hoạch cụ thể nào cho thị trấn này. Nhưng một điều tôi nghĩ người Việt Nam chúng ta không nên tự ti. Không có gì là không thể!”
Đầy cảm hứng. Hay lắm, chúc mừng anh!

Steve Jobs, tự mình thu voice cho quảng cáo “Think Different” của Apple từ những ngày xa xưa. Khi được agency hỏi sẽ chọn option nào để air vào năm 1998 - khi mới về Apple không bao lâu, công ty đang trong những ngày đen tối và chưa có sản phẩm mới nào để tung, ông đã trả lời:
Chọn version của Richard Dreyfuss (người thu voice được chọn lúc bấy giờ, cũng là 1 fan của Apple) đi. Tất cả là về Apple, nếu không họ lại lầm tưởng quảng cáo này là về tôi.
This is just my 3rd email to Steve Jobs. I’ve planned to visit an event of his one day, but now it’s too late.

On the 5th of Oct, 2011.
I just woke up to the news of Steve Jobs’ death. I live in Vietnam and the news became public while I was sleeping.
The irony is that one of the last things I said before going to bed was to my wife, with whom I shared my concern of the total absence of any reference to Steve during Apple’s latest event. I talked to her that “Steve Jobs was not there honey“, and said, “you know, I think he just needed to show up and say Hi. Maybe he’s at the hospital or something. One day we might hear he’s dead just like that, out of the blue, or we might not”.
Of course I never expected “that day has come” would be today, the day following the event. It really is Steve-ian to have stayed CEO until the last possible moment. Of course the words of Steve’s resignation keep coming back into my head.
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
But like many others I wouldn’t believe they meant his health condition had been decreasing. I thought he wanted some rest for the last years, if not months, of his life. I thought he would be there around the time his biography came out. I thought he would take time to have his house finally built. But no. Like so many geniuses and heroes before him, he fought until the last moment, and Death has come to him sooner than it should.
I am still overwhelmed by the news and all the testimonials that are pouring out everywhere. And as this time in my life, my career, I will take some time to reflect and think about what this news for Apple, and for me…

Nguyen is a weird guy…
Not many people could impress me for the very first few times. Even when they do so, not many of them becomes a role model that is able to inspire me. Only 2 or 3 people up until now and most of the case I need lots of time to figure out. But Nguyen did it in a very limited time, only a month with few contacts and chances working together…
His passion to the job, his loyalty to the leader, his straight-forward character exhibited in an extremely confident & decisive manner, Nguyen – without a doubt – stands out from the crowd being a man whom everybody loves and appreciates. Also he’s been through many companies that I’ve ever wished to work for for: Nokia & Coke. That’s not saying he’s very wild & has a good sense of humor, which bring fresh air and fun to the office.
And very quickly he became a role model of mine, very close. Saying goodbye to him yesterday leaves me a weird feeling – a regret feeling of losing a friend, a role model, a leader that’s worth learning from. I’ve got to know him more, really…
In pursuit of lifetime dreams, someday I would love to have him as a fellow…
