Game on
Alex went back home very late. He was surprised that his daughter is still
up and greets him at the doorway. His daughter named Sharon showed
him her grades. Alex is proud because his daughter is doing very well in
class.
Meanwhile, past midnight at the kitchen, he is still thinking about the plant,
the goal, the company and his job. He is considering to go out of the town,
find a new job and give up UniCo as what any other employees will do.
But he decided to give his best to the remaining three months and save
the plant the best that he can do.
After tucking her into bed, he begins to rethink the situation from a more
positive perspective. He know that the time is constraint and he can never
learn it all by studying again with the theories, read magazines and studies
and even consult the best professional for this. That is why he came to a
thought that he will be needing guidance from Jonah once again.
 stellar – exceptionally good; outstanding.
 headhunter - a person who identifies and approaches suitable
candidates employed elsewhere to fill business positions.
 theory - a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain
something, especially one based on general principles
independent of the thing to be explained.
“I am all I have… I don’t know if that’s enough.”
This is the powerful quote for me in this chapter because it says that he
gave his 100% for the company and will still be giving the same. But he do
not know if it is enough to save the plant from being disclosed and sold. It
is like when a person feel (even me), the fact that I gave my all but not
sure if that is sustainable.
Alex will give his best to save the plant. I guess the game begins.
