分享一下Kelley比較特殊的Essay 3:
Suppose you had to choose three people-people alive now or people from another era-to travel with you on a
cross-country automobile trip. Who would you choose and why? What would you hope to learn from them?
(Think carefully about the company you want on those long stretches through Nebraska and Kansas.)

我覺得我這篇文章找的editor所給的評論寫得不錯，之後如果也有人對Kelley有興趣可以參考一下，但請千萬不要每個人都這麼寫。

Hello, again!
I really like the idea of choosing your son in order to affect the level of thinking in the car among the other passengers. I also like the idea of choosing two other people who will have something to say to each other. However, you might consider replacing one of the business-related men with someone else, as the essay sounds a little like all you care about is your career. This would be a truly remarkable opportunity: are you sure you’d want only to have people who could help you with your current career? You might want to “think bigger.” You have a choice of putting two people together who wouldn’t otherwise be together so their discussion can affect the world (e.g., Confucius and Vladimir Putin) or two people who can help you with important issues in your life (e.g., the originator of your religion and a great poet you admire).
--Mary (GrammarQueen)

以下是我最後丟出去的版本。因為自己的蹉跎，其實我沒再針對Mary敘述到的點大作修改，或許這也是除了2.97及20之外，我可以拿到這麼多ding的原因吧。大家有閒看到此的話就加減當休閒活動看看吧。

“The harvest in travel is not mere gourmet, pictures, or souvenirs; life opportunities flourish during a journey,” wrote Dr. Ohmae in his book, 15 Premium Trip. My wife and I followed his recommendation as we enjoyed the twilight view during a cruise from Finland to Sweden in our honeymoon. Because of his philosophy, I would invite the strategist Kenichi Ohmae, the former Samsung chairman Lee Kun-Hee, and my son to travel with me on a cross-country automobile trip.

Dr. Ohmae is the best man to plan our cross-country trip. I want to see how his tour guide experience in his college years honed his language proficiency but also to observe his time management and interpersonal skills. I also want to ask “Mr. Strategy” for his view on the impact of the rising powers of India and China. Considering Foxconn’s reputation among brands, customers such as Dell, and relations in China, my strategy to build channels and sell for brand customers in China, in addition to existing pure manufacturing for brands, could benefit from the direct challenges and suggestions of Dr. Ohmae. I would also like to know his vision about the future of so-called green technology.

I want to invite Mr. Lee to supervise our travel plan because of his profound record in Samsung. During the long period of travel, I want to ask him about personal stories when he changed the Samsung slogan to “Change everything except your wife and kids” and reasons why he decided to pay a seemingly unreasonable pattern fee to Rambus in order to lead the DRAM technology. What belief supported his continuing investment in this industry, even when they lost money for the first ten years? His opinions about the former cooperation of Sony and Samsung in the LCD TV business and the recent alliance between Sony and Sharp would help me to learn business strategy first hand. Most importantly, I want to know how Samsung manages to understand worldwide customers’ habits and to invent products before users even seem to comprehend their own desires. Dr. Ohmae’s comments and Mr. Lee’s response on how Samsung trains its employees to change, to advance in technology, and to lead the world would provide fireworks during the night in the desert.

The third person I want to travel with is my son Chris when he were five years old. I think his smiles could melt away icebergs and smooth any friction among the three men in the closed car. Moreover, I want to see the world through his eyes since, as I accumulate more and more experience in my profession, I can finish a task more efficiently using established patterns. A child at this age starts to build his own opinions and tries to understand the world; his thinking is childish, but it is also genuine. His questions would cause us to think in a simpler way and from our inner egos and would lead us to retrieve our true natures, which tend to be lost after we fight with too many entangled issues. Why iPod is successful? Not because of its technology but because it meets our simple desire to hear music. Clarity is beauty, and exposing my son to various cultures and values will show us the unitary truth among human beings. Accompanied by Mr. Ohmae and his wisdom, Mr. Lee might also be intrigued by my little boy to reconstruct Samsung again into a leading green technology company that brings the benefits to our later generations

With these three people’s company, I believe this travel would be the most memorable and meaningful of my life.
