開創所謂的「Point View」專欄

  我匯集了以下一些近日國外網站上看到最新的時尚設計、科技生活以及文化奢華等資訊;通常這些資訊pass到亞洲約莫晚幾週最慢幾個月,香港跟日本又會比台灣快些,所以在收集和接收就有些技巧性,懂得先以標題或關鍵字之類的ICON作篩選,很多時候也許會連不必要的垃圾也收集,通常一開始都會如此,但久了建立你個人的品項資料庫,無論在收發郵件資訊或閱讀報導時就不會像多頭馬車一樣每個都怕漏掉卻又無法確定其重點何在。(我以前也常做這種深感困擾的事~)
  通常要讓自己有興趣或者學習相關產業的資訊為主,一方面是精進一方面也累積不少知識財富,其次才看一些能輔助的技藝常識還有現在整個大環境的脈動,如果什麼都只沾到邊,即便各樣涉獵都有成績,也只是皮毛而沒辦法檯面上操作的。
