Our golden words of wisdom for positive thinking*1
By Tiffany Chang

"People worry about the huge amount of creativity that is wasted---lost forever---because talented people are prevented from giving their best by their lack of ability to influence others effectively," wrote Dr. Ken Blanchard in the 'Foreword' of the book entitled "Winning Ways," written by Dick Lyles.*2 "The business world has changed; organizations are getting flatter and more networked. Today, the key to success is one's ability to exercise peer leadership. The most successful individuals shine because of their ability to influence, empower, and energize others. In essence, they embody the principles and practices of Winning Ways."

"Rapid changes in technology and global competition have combined to reshape the corporate landscape. Corporate management has responnded to these changes by iniatating sweeping changes. The introduction of new technology may be touted as a productivity booster and turn out instead to be a total bust. Whatever the problem may be, you're the one who has to deal with it on a daily basis. Even when new ideas are well thought out, there are still problems in putting them into practice within your group," George Fuller wrote in the 'Introduction' of his book, "Win/win management: leading people in the new workplace."*3

There are lots of common headaches most of supervisors and leaders have to confront. "It's easy to understand how the broad scope these problems can easily lead to a less than steller attitude toward your job. However, adoping a sense of futility only serve to make matters worse. On the other hand, maintain a positive attitude helps you place things in perspective and can make coping eith problems a lot easier to do."*4

To initiate our programs more effectively for the people and communities who are interested to participate the programs, we need to emphasize the spirit of positive attitude and positive thinking. The following are our golden words of wisdom which are worth reading collected by the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI):

***Jesus said, "Everyone who bears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Governor Guinn names Burdette energy advisor
By Office of Governor Kenny Guinn*1

Governor Kenny Guinn of Nevada announced today the appointment of Richard Burdette as his energy advisor and director of Nevada's Office of Energy.*2

"With Dick's background as an economist, engineer and his experience in the regulatory process, he will serve the citizens of Nevada well," Governor Guinn said. "I am looking forward to working with Dick on addressing the state's energy issues."

Burdette, 60, will earn $93,331.93. He replaces Carl Linvill, who was appointed by Governor Guinn to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC).

"It is a privilege to serve Governor Guinn," Burdette said. "I will work with the Governor to ensure that Nevada makes the right energy policy decisions."

Burdette comes to the Governor's office from the PUC staff, where he was the manager of resource and market analysis. He was responsible for review of electric utility resource planning, electric and natural gas purchasing practices, rate proposals and financial matters; telecommunications regulations; and the supervision of professional engineers and regulatory economists.

Prior to working for the PUC, Burdette was a consultant to several regulated industries and served as a Legislative Assistant in the U.S. Senate and as a public affairs officer and Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary in the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Burdette served in the U.S. Navy aboard the nuclear submarine Guardfish (SSN-612) and as an instructor and administrator at the Naval Nuclear Power School. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, with merit, and completed graduate level training for his nuclear assignments. He also graduated from the University of Delaware with a Master of Arts degree in Quantitative Economics.

In 2001 the Nevada State Legislature created the Office of Energy (NSOE), including the naming of a Director. The legislation, when combined with earlier statutes, provided for general duties including: energy and energy conservation, preparation of petroleum allocation and rationing plans (including administration of federal allocation programs), authorization to create regulations regarding energy conservation in buildings, administration of federal energy grant programs, and general provisions related to conflicts of interest. During the past session, the Legislature authorized the NSOE to develop a program and distribute funds to install or improve net metering installations. The 2003 Legislature also created the Task Force for Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation.*3

A Heritage of Faith for Our Pepperdine University
By Tiffany Chang

"Pepperdine People" is great! The Fall 2003 issue of "Pepperdine People" is here. "This brings to my mind the urgency of our times. We note the vanishing of a heroic generation that rebuilt the world after World War II. But the best way to honor those who have gone before us is to rise up and find the greatness in our own lives, the strength of character, the courage, the determination, the selflessness to adress the challenges that still lay before us. It is most appropriate to consider these thoughts within the context of our yearly theme, 'A Heritage of Faith,'" pointed out Dr. Andrew Benton, President of Pepperdine University, at the first page of the beautiful magazine with elegant standard of publication.*1 The magazine, "Pepperdine People," is published to inform donors and friends of the development and accomplishments of Pepperdine University and its people. A copy was sent to Dr. Tony Tung-tien Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute by Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.

"Young men and women of vision, tenacity, and generosity are already taking their places in the work of continuing the legacy of those vanishing giants. But more heroes are needed in order to advance our mission into the future," continued the President*2

"The question is: How can we leave the world in a better condition than we found it ? There may be many answers to that, but only a few make much sense. Near the top of such answers is this: Build a teaching institution that is grounded in timeless truths, that makes it its business to offer solutions to the puzzles that young people ponder. Or, as our mission statement expresses it, 'Pepperdine is a Christian university committed to the hightest standards of academic excellence and Christian values, where students are strenghtened for lives of purpose, service, and leadership.' that is a mission worth investing a life in," concluded Dr. Benton.*3

At the beginging of this Message, Dr. Andrew Benton stated that, "We have completed an academic year that included notable successes." He is the seventh President of Pepperdine University. He is making the most impressive music of his life. He is a different kind of leader who harmonizes and improvises and leads a variety of wonderful "instruments" in an intricate and soaring symphony...whihc is Pepperdine University.*4 In the meantime, Dr. Tony Lei received a nice Christmas card from Dr. Andy Benton and his wife Debby stating that, "May the warmth of this special season fill your heart with joy and hope. We wish you and all those whom you love the very best in this holiday season and the coming year." *5
