Dear Reader,
On a Wednesday evening in May on VTV1
Series 7 of the Key to Success show will start,
around 9.30 pm. In this program’s 5th year,
CEO’s take up the challenge to solve sometimes
unsolvable cases. The cases are taken from real-
life business situations. A short movie adds fla-
vour and juice to the case. “We the Jury” ask
questions & of course, we judge.
A Saigon entrepreneur promotes the program
as a free course for his managers. Besides
encouraging to watch the show, he shows them
programs from earlier years. After the case is
shown, he invites his managers to discuss it.
They come to a conclusion, and then continue
watching the program. As it’s all in Vietnamese,
he considers it to be a good way to develop strate-
gic and tactical thinking. To learn from mistakes,
including those made by the contestants.

If the current price of energy would be doubled to guarantee continuity without being forced
to use generators, foreign companies would be willing to pay this price.

Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives. One of the best ways to get
the most from the energy we have is to focus it. That is what goals can do for us;
concentrate our energy. Denis Waitley
