So the big four accounting firms have long names like PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and such, and the reason for that is that accounting firms combine together and form a larger firm, and their original names were often named after the founders’ last names.
If this exact same phenomenon would happen in China, than this dialogue would happen:
“Hey, where do you work at?”
“Oh, I work at Chou Yang & Lee.”
“NO WAY! That’s like, one of the largest firms in China! I only work for Chen Chou Wang…”
“Haha, that’s ok. It’s still a formidible firm.”
“What about me? I work for Liu Lee & Chan.”
“Umm, never heard of that one. Probably sucks.”
Get mentored by Yu-kai Chou
Every week I hop on a conference call to teach, answer questions, and give feedback to members of Octalysis Prime. If you want to take your Gamification practice to the next level, then come join us.
StijnDeCat LOL – this post makes me embarrassed XD I actually have even older posts, but my blog was destroyed once and all my posts since 2004 were lost ;-(
Good job here though! I should create a mission on my PBL sidebar system that awards people more points if they find this oldest post 😉
Btw, I’ve tried to put the leaderboard on the sidebar, but it looks quite ugly….I’m not sure I am completely convinced of its value compared to what I give up. what do you think about it?
@StijnDeCat I found it too 🙂
By the way, don’t know how many iterations and options you try before Yu-Kai, but the Leaderboard on the side is great and very engaging
I’M NUMBER 8 IN THE ALL TIME LEADERBOARD…. I almost feel like a Gamification Master 😉
Stay Awesome!
It took me a while but i finally found your first post! XD
Wonder who else is gonna find this…
