Sharp celebrates a century of innovation
INDUSTRY| Sept. 25, 2012, 1:38 p.m.
Sharp Corporation is celebrating a milestone this year: for 100 years, the company has stood as a trusted symbol to connecting customers and businesses worldwide.
Since its founding in 1912, Sharp has made products known and loved around the world, and in September 2012, the company celebrates its 100th anniversary, an achievement made possible by the support of its many customers over the years.
Sharp entered the South African market in 1968 through Supima (Pty) Ltd, which obtained licenses for local market Sharp Calculators, Sharp Microwave ovens and other electrical goods. In 1973, Sharp Electronics South Africa was established and only Sharp products were sold under this banner including the then, new, Sharp Electrostatic Type Photocopier.
The Corporation began from humble beginnings in 1912, when Mr Tokuji Hayakawa established a metalworking shop in Tokyo, Japan. The Sharp name originated in 1915 when Mr Hayakawa created the mechanical pencil (later known as the ever-sharp pencil).
"Make products that others want to imitate." These words, spoken by Tokuji Hayakawa, founder of Sharp, are more than a motto – it stands for a corporate philosophy that has made Sharp the company it is today: an innovation and technology leader in many areas and renowned for products which make life better and simpler.
Faced with a number of challenges through the years, such as the Great Kanto earthquake which destroyed the pencil factory in 1923, and the Second World War which ended in 1945, the company continued its pursuit of innovation and has revolutionized the way people live for 100 years by creating numerous innovations that are both reliable and practical. Throughout the years and across the world, millions of people would have had an encounter with a Sharp product at some point or other.
Sharp also recently celebrated 40 years of bringing quality document solutions to customers and has pledged to maintain its commitment to delivering world-class, reliable, innovative and environmentally-friendly printing solutions across the region. Sharp's current extensive line-up of colour and black and white multi-function printers (MFPs) builds upon its rich heritage in document solutions, which began in 1972 with the SF-201, Sharp's first copier. At the end of 2011, total production of copier based MFP's had surpassed 16 million units.
"We are at the forefront of end-to-end business solutions in the region, and celebrating 100 years of Sharp as well as 40 years of our document solutions division is proof that the company stands the test of time and continues to innovate for an evolving marketplace," said Tomoo Shimizu, Director, Business Solutions Division, Sharp Middle East.
"At Sharp, we believe our products should solve real human problems and this is why we always look for opportunities to improve life, for the environment and society, and why provide solutions with the user in mind.
"It's truly a memorable occasion to celebrate both milestones, and we look forward to continued innovation for the next 100 years," he added.
"From the widest range of large screen interactive touch screen displays to the latest in solar technology, our wide range of products are designed to enhance people's lives at home, work, and everywhere in between," concluded Shimizu.
Sharp is committed to increasing penetration in a number of key product segments and growing its market share in South Africa's business solutions sector.

@TomPick takes another giant ditigal leap forward
If you are a regular reader of the WebMarketCentral Blog, as I am, you might be surprised to see the site – while still there – is no longer the home of Tom Pick's ( @TomPick) digital/interactive marketing insights. The new site Webbiquity was launched this morning. Here's the subhead:
Webbiquity: 1) The fusion of SEO, search marketing, social media, reputation management, content marketing and interactive PR. 2) Being omnipresent on the web for the search phrase that uniquely describes you or your organization. 3) The place to find help with all of this. Webbiquity – be everywhere online
I met Tom almost 10 years ago – January 17, 2000 – when I joined SoftBrands (then called Fourth Shift). He was the internal expert on competitive analysis. He was driven by dissecting win/loss reports and souring the Web for information on our biggest competitors. His unnatural love of minutia probably stems from growing up in St. Cloud, MN just up the road from the Monticello nuclear power plant. I'm glad he has it, because I don't and we certainly need all types to survive in this world. In addition to details, Tom has a very keen mind and can spot a trend a mile away – which is why he started WebMarketCentral when most of us were still trying to figure out what the internet really had to offer.
Based on past success, I see no reason to doubt Webbiquity will be a tremendous success.

My journey into the world of Digital Communications started in 2004 with the idea that I could use video testimonials to drive leads for the enterprise software company I was working for. It worked and, along with my good friends Albert Maruggi and Mike Keliher, I expanded into blogging, podcasting and Twitter. With each step we experienced more and more success. In early 2010 I moved from the client side to the agency side doing the same kind of work for a number of vertical industries.

Social Media best practices
Is social media the new corporate star-maker?
Sep 30th
A few months back I did a fun interview with Susan Wassel, the social media voice for Sharpie pens. Susan made me a believer. If you can bring pens to life over Twitter, just about anything is possible.
So here is a debate I have with my customers: Do you have a real person (like Susan) represent your company on social media or a corporate logo with a rotating line-up behind the scenes (like most companies)?
Susan represents the ying and yang of this argument. On the positive side, she has built a faithful following of nearly 4,000 who tune in to hear the latest Sharpie adventures of her friends and family. She is an enthusiastic, charming woman who has come to personify the brand online.
Now the downside. Some day Sharpie Susan will move on. Remember the feeling you had when they replaced the first "Darren" on Bewitched? That was hard to take. There was a pretender in the role. I don't want a SharpieKim or SharpieFred or even (gasp) SharpieDarren. I want my SharpieSusan dammit.
This is the ultimate two-edged sword of establishing your company's voice online. What happens when a solitary person BECOMES the brand? Where do all those followers go when your spokesperson leaves … and joins your competitor for more money? Sure, the company will survive, but why make the investment in developing the talent when you don't have to? Avoid the risk.
If you're a talented communicator with a great personality interested in being a corporate social media persona, this is great news by the way. Becoming your company's social media rockstar may be the ultimate job security. Or, you might be sentencing yourself to social media hell. Do you really want to be the company Pat Sajak for the next 20 years? Any way, we will certainly see a growing number of popular corporate bloggers whose importance and value to the company will grow exponentially.
To close the loop, my recommendation to my customers is to provide a real face to the world. Nobody wants to relate to a logo. But I don't have answers to the hard questions I've raised here, either. Let's hear from you on the subject …
The social media country club
Sep 21st
I finally had time to read the Brogan/Smith book "Trust Agents." I thought it was "OK" at best – disjointed, repetitive, and even silly at spots ("much of journalism has a faux objectivism that can't die fast enough"). I think it's a good book for social media newcomers. But based on the take-your-breath-away reviews from the blogger community, I was expecting much more.
Why was my impression of this non-remarkable book so different than the biggest names in blogging? Here's my hypothesis: The opinions were probably NOT much different than mine – but they just wouldn't say so. Why? The "thought leaders" of social media marketing are a country club fearful of saying anything negative or controversial about another club member. The real commerce of social media is trading favors and a negative comment breaks the favor chain.
Brogan and Smith express this importance of belonging when they write in their book: "be yourself, which is to say, 'be one of us'." They describe the clannish protectionism of those at the top when they say "(newcomers) don't realize that we all know each other, that we we recognize the new stranger in our midst …"
I understand the human nature present in this situation. Someone who wants to make it as a blogger is not going to rock the boat with a powerful individual who can influence their success by turning favors. We all want to belong. That's the way the world turns. So if somebody wants to be a sycophant, why should I care? Here's why. The nicey-nice world of social media blogging creates problems beyond the walls of the country club:
1) Group think. If you are unfamiliar with this term, here's a good definition. Among the top social media bloggers, there is little or no substantial debate over ANYTHING. Sometimes an individual outside the "inner circle" lobs a grenade, which is usually deflected by a member of the inner circle in defense. The result is that essentially everybody expresses and re-expresses the basic opinions of the leaders without serious challenge or innovation.
2) Myth-making. A few weeks ago I wrote a post about social media myths. The ideas I chronicled probably seem ridiculous, yet mantras such as "it's all about community" have become foundational tenets of nearly every blog I read. As I've entered this arena and observed participant behavior, I've been astounded by how many people tweet, praise and re-blog anything uttered by the primary thought-leaders, no matter how insipid. It seems Marshall McLuhan was wrong in this case. The medium isn't the message. In social media, the messenger is the message.
3) Lack of credibility. Take a close look at the credentials (if you can find any) of nearly any leading social media marketing "expert." How many have ever had a real sales job or have been actually accountable for delivering new value in a marketplace by creating, testing and distributing a product on a meaningful scale? Very few. Yet these are our marketing "gurus?" In a communication channel already dominated by porn-peddling, get-rich-quick nimrods, it simply doesn't help our collective credibility to have our most visible advocates spouting incredibly naieve statements about marketing fundamentals they know little about.
4) An infrastructure of angels. If you get to the point where you are huge on the social media scene, shouldn't you be able to pull enough strings to constantly surround yourself with enough positive tweets, reviews and testimonials to bury any authentic complaint? The real strategy of Trust Agents is to build enough goodwill to call in favors forever.
OK, so let's not talk about what's going on "out there" any more. Let's bring it to the here and now, you and me. What would better serve MY social media strategy … or yours? To provide an honest opinion that might upset the favor-makers, or to join the country club?
Five reasons B2B companies should reject social media marketing
Sep 15th
In yesterday's post, I demonstrated that even in the case of the most extreme B2B sales situation (one customer, long sales cycle, few competitors), there could be a place for social media marketing. Today I'll tell you why it isn't that simple.
Does my schizophrenia seem strange? I've been around long enough to know that even when there's a slam-dunk business case for something, it doesn't mean a company will do it. This has been quite apparent in B2B where hard-dollar social media successes have been few and far between, despite a lot of hype. Here are five good reasons why some B2B's should NOT adopt social media right now:
1) The economy sucks. Unless a customer is screaming for social media, it's not likely a struggling company is going to voluntarily get into a brand new marketing effort in the teeth of a recession. Even though most social media is "free," it still takes valuable time and resources many companies don't have right now. (On the flip side, your competitors are in the same boat – why not get a jump start on this now?)
OK, please let me pre-empt a few hot-blooded retorts bound to show up in the comment section … I'm not saying DON'T do social media. You know me better than that. I know that every one of these reasons I listed could be turned around as a reason TO DO social media marketing!
The case for social media marketing and "Extreme B2B"
Sep 14th
At one point in my career, I had one of the largest (if not THE largest!) sales positions in the world. I had just one customer and they bought more than US$1.5 billion of goods and services from my company every year. That's what I call Extreme B2B. Long sales cycle. High stakes. Extraordinary power in the hands of the buyer.
Is there a place for social media marketing even in "Extreme B2B?" Before applying any tactic like social media — in any situation — you first need to consider the strategy. In my position, there were four strategies I employed to keep and grow this mega-customer:
Apply high-touch throughout the organization. With a customer that large, you can imagine that operations were dispersed throughout the world. So my contacts were broad … and they were also deep – from the CEO to the machine operator on the floor, from Purchasing to R&D. There were dozens of people who influenced the purchasing decision and I had to earn trust with all of them! It was also a challenge connecting all the communication synapses between the two companies: executive, manufacturing, R&D, etc.
Raise switching costs through service innovations. Not only did I want to grow my business at this customer, I wanted to do it at the most profitable plant locations. To achieve this, I wanted to provide some extraordinary service that would make it painful for the plant to switch to a competitor. For example, at our most profitable customer location, we designed a special truck that could haul away their waste material after delivering a shipment of finished product, saving them waste hauling fees. Those trucks made us a lot of money!
Improve profitability through incremental cost savings. With an account that large, the purchasing power is extreme and that keeps margins low. It was always a challenge to find small ways to save money, especially if it also provided a win for the customer. With revenues that large, even an improvement of a fraction of a cent per unit could have a dramatic impact on profitability.
Listen better, act faster. Listening to my customer was serious business. We actually conducted formal "listen to the customer" visits using trained facilitators. Information from these visits, conducted throughout the world, was carefully compiled, thoroughly analyzed and used to create our marketing and R&D plans.
In summary, my strategy was: Be accessible, innovate through service, lower costs, and listen effectively. Hmmm … doesn't that sound like a PERFECT business case for social media applications? Even in a case of extreme B2B there are likely applications for these new tools, right?
Yes … and no. I'm sure you can think of many great social web applications to support these strategies, but that doesn't mean that B2B companies will necessarily act on them. Why not?
Even with a strong business case, there may be very good reasons why a B2B company should reject social media marketing (gasp!). More on that in the next post!

Challenging Issues, Keeping the Faith: Geographical inconsistencies in Great Lakes model
While the past few installments have engaged some of the more common non-geographical claims that Great Lakes proponents propose for Book of Mormon geography, it's time to deal with geographical issues.
Like most of the other models discussed in this series, the Great Lakes model is a "limited" geography. The model consists of a "land northward," a "land southward," a "narrow neck" between the two and large bodies of water (defined as "seas" that flank parts of the proposed geography).
To emphasize what I've already stated many times in this series, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has no official position on the location of Book of Mormon events and no revelation has been given regarding such locations. In the absence of revelation, we are left on our own to examine, analyze and debate the issue.
I'm certainly open to all new evidences and data on this topic, but I have yet to see how the Great Lakes data supports the Book of Mormon text on geographical, cultural, archaeological, and climatological requirements and inferences.
Following, are a sampling of the geographical problems with the Great Lakes model.
1. According to Alma 63, Hagoth — a Nephite ship builder — launched his ship (a large ship, see verse 6) into the west sea in order to explore new territory. Great Lakes advocates typically identify Lake Michigan as the west sea and suggest Hagoth could have followed the Great Lakes to the ocean.
Such a route for a larger vessel would probably not have been possible until the construction of the Erie Canal in 1825. Prior to that time, any vessel would have had to cross Niagara Falls to reach the ocean.
2. Great Lakes proponents typically claim that the Mississippi River was the ancient Sidon River. According to the Book of Mormon, the head of the Sidon was in a narrow strip of wilderness and the water flowed from south to north. The Mississippi, on the other hand, runs from north to south and the headwaters are in Lake Ataska in Minnesota — not in a narrow strip of wilderness.
3. There are a number of mismatches between a Great Lakes model and the geographical relationships of Book of Mormon lands and other lands or bodies of water.
For example, according to the Book of Mormon, Bountiful is north of Zarahemla, while the Great Lakes proponents would put it southeast of Zarahemla. Although the Book of Mormon tells us that Zarahemla is directly north of the land of Nephi, the Great Lakes model has Bountiful directly north of the land of Nephi.
In the Book of Mormon, we discover that a narrow strip of wilderness separates the land of Nephi from the land of Zarahemla, but in the Great Lakes model, the land of Bountiful separates the land of Nephi from the land of Zarahemla.
The land of Nephi is described as stretching from the sea east to west, but in the Great Lakes model it doesn't touch any sea. In the Book of Mormon the sea is west of Zarahemla and the land Bountiful, while in the Great Lakes model, it is east of Zarahemla and north of Bountiful.
We also are told that there are seashores to the west of Zarahemla and Nephi, but no such seashores are found west of the Zarahemla or Nephi in the Great Lakes model.
The Book of Mormon tells us that the Hill Cumorah is in the land of Desolation north of the narrow neck of land. In the Great Lakes model, Desolation is the area above and between the Great Lakes. In order to get to it, however, one must either cross or travel around the "sea east," which is south of Desolation.
Dr. John Clark, a professional New World archaeologist, points out the problem for Great Lakes proponents when it comes to any theory as to how the Book of Mormon arrived in the region. According to Great Lakes theories, the Book of Mormon peoples crossed the Atlantic from the east (instead of the Pacific on the west, as proposed by most other models). Clark writes:
"But such landings present logistical difficulties. How did the ocean craft sail upstream and over shallows, rapids and falls to reach (the Great Lakes) hundreds of miles inland? Such a route would have been extremely difficult, and it certainly could not have been the first landing by any stretch of the imagination. ...
"In truth all (Great Lakes) geographies have difficulties with the water passages of the text. They have potential seas in all directions but no easy way for their travelers to get to them from the Atlantic Ocean. … Those who wish to believe that Mediterranean peoples landed in the Great Lakes near Kirtland, Ohio, need to show the feasibility of such a trip. So far they have not established a credible case."
These are just a few of the geographical inconsistencies that — at least for me — create serious problems for the Great Lakes model.

Breaking! The Patriots of Nevada Deliver. Ron Paul Delegates Win 25 of 28 Seats to Republican National Convention!Submitted by bobspirit on Sun, 05/06/2012 - 15:43
In a contentious and hardfought 20 hour marathon spanning 2 days the patriots of Nevada prevailed and put Ron Paul supporters in 25 of the 28 seats allocated to Nevada for the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
Included in those seats are the new national committee man and committee woman, both liberty lovers and supporters of Ron Paul.
This is an awesome against the odds victory as Romney captured a sizable majority of popular votes in the state caucus in February.
I can tell you from personal experience as a delegate to this state convention that liberty is alive and well in Nevada, and represented by an amazing group of dedicated and committed patriots.
Already It's Starting: MSNBC - "The Revolution Is On"Submitted by egapele on Sat, 05/05/2012 - 20:42
By Dave Price | WHO-TV/MSNBC
May 5, 2012
In 2008 during the Republican presidential primary race, supporters of Texas Republican Congressman Ron Paul would scream out, "Ron Paul!" Others would then reply, "Revolution!" (It's not quite as good as my fellow Missouri Tigers when we yell, "M-I-Z!", with a response of "Z-O-U!") I must admit I don't recall the revolutionaries screaming out that same Ron Paul chant this cycle. But while Paul has not won a single state so far this primary season, his followers could still make an impact.

Fox News is Tripping Over Themselves in This Article: Hijack the GOPSubmitted by platoonleader on Fri, 05/04/2012 - 07:36
Front page Fox article on Ron Paul's new tactic: Hijacking the GOP.
If he has no shot at winning, why are they tripping over themselves about his delegate wins? It's funny how they spin everything, in the article it mentions he could win a chunk of Iowa's delegates...if 20 out of 28 is only a chunk, then they are right. That's just ONE example. Furthermore, this isn't a new plan...he's been telling them all along this was his plan, and they just responded to him during interviews with condecending looks like he was a loon and it would never work.
Once again...Paul was right.

So you are saying she is absolved of any responsibility that occurred because of her bad decisions, because she was drunk and because other people where making bad decisions. If you are going to use that train of logic then why not apply it to the boys who raped her, they where probably also drunk, not to as great an extent as her but I am willing to bet more then likely wasted and it was a group of them and no one at the party stopped them so it was a large group of people making a bad decision(s). So with the logic you used to absolve the girl of any wrong doing can just as easily apply to the boys that raped her and absolve them for what they did too, pretty much with the logic you are using you are taking any any personal responsibility one has after getting drunk, especially if it is with a group.
Should her parents have grounded her for underage drinking? Okay, yeah. she should be scolded for underage drinking.
Now by your logic we should ground/scold the boys for rape.
No thanks. Don't agree at all. And don't agree a raped woman deserves ridiculed to the point of suicide. Sorry. I'll never agree to that.

The Big Three U.S. automakers were busy at the political conventions of both major parties this year, lobbying for more gravy from the taxpayers. Specifically, they're not satisfied with the $25 billion in low-interest loans Congress voted to grant them last year, ostensibly to help them develop new fuel-efficient cars and retool to produce them. They want another $50 billion in similar loans from Uncle Sugar, er, Sam.
Barack Obama signed on to the idea long ago. Probably because the pundits have designated Michigan as a "battleground" state in November, John McCain has endorsed the idea as well. So much for deep philosophical or fiscal differences between the two major parties. There are votes to be won, and what did you think taxpayers' money was there for, anyway?
The automakers argue that Congress has saddled them with stricter fuel economy rules, or CAFɠstandards, which will cost around $100 billion for them to meet. There's a certain plausibility here, but the simpler approach would be to repeal the CAFɠstandards. When gas prices have risen, consumers have always migrated toward more fuel-efficient cars, creating genuine incentives to invest in them.

Nice magnet
Enchanted Encounter Save the Date Magnets The Enchanted Encounter magnet makes a beautiful save the date for our wedding. We changed the colors to be Royal Blue and Sunbeam and we are very happy with the product. Maybe we didn't pay close enough attention to the specs, but we had been expecting a magnet around the size of a postcard, however it is 4" by 3.5". Although it is smaller than we expected, we are very happy with the size of it! Happy wedding planning!
Loved the magnet!
Enchanted Encounter Save the Date Magnets My fiancé and I loved how our Save the date magnets turned out! They came super fast after we ordered them (within a week and a half)!!

Carrie Underwood Rocks the House at ACM Awardsby Free Britney at . Comments
Carrie Underwood kicked off Sunday night's Academy of Country Music Awards with a big blast of rock 'n' roll, showing her vocal chops in belting out "Good Girl."
Her sexy black and magenta mini-dress was a nice touch too.
To those looking for a lot of traditional twang out of the country gala, Carrie's song was something of a warning shot ... this is 21st century country music.
The ACMs are very much a celebration of what the genre has become, with arena rockers (Kenny Chesney and Jason Aldean) and a wave of 20-something upstarts incorporating different sounds into the genre (Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum).
See what you think of Carrie's performance below:
Yeah! Carrie Rocks the House at ACM. She's great. She got an amazing voice. I Loved her dress and shoes that's appropriate and fit with her song.(I'm a conservative)I know what a trashy looks like.After Carrie's performance the show got boring. Reba was okey but her co host wasn't.
Carrie I Really loved the performance the dress and shoes... I which i could buy this on itunes like i did your video!!! #1 FAN FOR JESUS,FAMILY,CARRIE AND FLORIDA STATE!! LOVE YA CARRIE!
Carrie was definitely the highlight of the musical performances. I think the sound was off all night on everyone. Sometimes the sound would come in low and then get real loud. I love Good Girl...very catchy song. Carrie is the classiest woman in country. You never see Carrie dressed like her stage costumes. I think the dress she wore for the song was very appropriate. She looks great..very fit! Her red carpet dress was beautiful. She looks nothing like Britney..that is just a crazy comment. Carrie has an amazing voice! Can't wait to buy her new album Blown Away May 1st! I know it will be great!
By far that was the most boring ACM to date. Carrie looks like a barbie doll, too much bleached hair, too much eyelashes, she is starting to look like a beverly hills housewives! The song is very repetitive and she is screaming not singing. I much prefer the looks and songs of Taylor S. Also the new song of Kelly C is much better than the song of Carrie. I agree with the person that says she starting to look like and sing like Britney S. MB
She was fantastic. Once again she brought it! That girl can SING! Love the song and Carrie!
Sorry folks Carrie Underwood CAN sing, She just didn't lastnight!! But she shouldn't feel bad most of the other millionare's on the stage lastnight couldn't keep their vocals between the lines either. There is something about award shows...... Its just good to know you dont have to be a good singer to sell lots of records, that means any of us have a chance to be a rock star!!!!
Carrie Underwood has an amazing voice and was by far the highlight of the night. I also love these morons from I think the 1950's that complain if a girl has her dress above the knee - amazing! If you wanna see trashy then check out Lady GaGa, Brittany Spears, Nicki Minaj, and Rhianna. They make Carrie Underwood look like a kindergarten teacher.
The sad thing I see is carrie drifting away from country. She is looking more and more like a Brittnay Spears. In her songs, her clothes and just looking sleezy. I hope she gives that up and goes back to being a classy country girl.
I thought she sounded like her voice was shot...or at least strained. Probably because almost every song she does she sings as loud as she can. The woman has no subtlety in her vocal style, and I can't stand her "model on the runway" walk with one foot directly in front of the other. Her new single is very weak.
I Loved her performance! ! I Love her new song. I have everything she has ever made. She REALLY ROCKS!!

Former No. 1 Tseng hoping to recapture top form
Yani Tseng, the former top-ranked women's golfer, is hoping she can follow Rory McIlroy's example and put a disastrous 2013 season behind her to recapture the form that saw her reach the top of the game.
Tseng and McIlroy had similar struggles last year after both experienced great success at a young age and couldn't cope with the heightened expectations and pressure that accompanied it.
Tseng dominated the women's game for two years, winning five majors by the age of 22 - the youngest golfer, male or female, to achieve the feat. Her confidence began to slip soon after, however, and she lost her No. 1 ranking a little over a year ago.
McIlroy also had a disappointing 2013 season after reaching the No. 1 ranking on the men's side, walking off the course at the Honda Classic during a particularly low moment in March and failing to win a tournament until the Australian Open in December.
The Northern Irishman seems like he's turning a corner, though. He's in the lead after the opening round at the Honda Classic this week.
Tseng too is learning how to enjoy her time on the course again, and hopes the results will soon follow.
''Last year was gone very fast. I didn't reach my goal, didn't win any tournaments and it's kind of very up and down with my game, too. I was putting lots of pressure on myself,'' she said after shooting an opening-round 73 at the HSBC Women's Champions in Singapore on Thursday.
''But after that I kind of feel release a little bit. I feel very relaxed this year and I just try to forget about what's behind and always looking ahead. Forget about everything that I've achieved because that's already done.''
Tseng has not challenged the leaders in Singapore so far this week, lagging seven shots behind leader Karrie Webb after the first round and failing to make up much ground with her 1-under 71 on Friday.
But she looked like her old self last week at the LPGA Thailand tournament, finishing in a tie for fifth - her best result in a year.
It's been nearly two years since Tseng won a title - but she's trying not to focus on things like that.
''I try to not think too much, just play like I am a rookie, you know,'' she said. ''Because this is a sport I love. Now I just try to get that feeling back and enjoy every moment I have on the course.''
