To: Kyle ~ From: Andréa Dear Kyle, You are here and we are together.We have plans, we have dreams, and we have love.Do you really want to leavehow you think, how you feel, what your dreams are and everything nice from you.If I could only do something just to persuade you.I cannot study well, and everything I wish to do was left undone because of this unexplainable emotion.I promised myself before, not to see you anymore or talk to you-just to forget you, but these promises never materialize.My admiration was still bubbling within me these past lonely days.Truthfully, and undoubtedly, I can fool anyone but I cannot fool myself.I would be a great liar if I uttered that I'm not in love with you.No matter what you think or say, all I can say is;I really love you with all my heart and I will not hesitate if you will give me just a little time to prove my feelings of endearment and to prove to you that I'm deserving of your feelings, from your heart.My dearly beloved, you became so honorable in my eyes, like a precious gem, counted with extremely good intellectual reasoning makes me emotionally struck and speechless.The above-stated utterances and delightful contemplation of something worthy is inexpressible on my part because I was made to understand such sublime and noble qualities are inherent with you.< br> I am very serious now in telling you that I can no longer endure such extreme anxiety and sleepless nights that I am experiencing right of this moment.Since I met you I felt I was living in a new and wonderful world, full of love.And the sun is brighter, the pastures became greener and everything I do was magnificent.You should inculcate and instill in your mind that “I cherish you so much”.Such love, like everything, deserves to be given much attention and care in order to grow more and more.Love always, Jayr

years ago when I just graduated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination.Since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.Time is important.Everyone has 24 hours in a day.There are 365 days in a year.Once a day runs out in our life, it will never come back again.If we love our lives, we shouldn’t waste time.We must control time.The best way to use time is to plan it well.One morning a countryman went to his goose's nest, and saw a yellow and glittering egg there.He took the egg home.To his delight, he found that it was

if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults.They should be allowed more time for play.Playing is not wasting time, as some think.It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination.Lost time is never found again.This is something which I learned very clearly last semester.I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer.I finally realized that something had to be done.It was time for a change.Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely.I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour.This will give me a head start on the day.I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it.Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message.I worked eight hours a day, six days a week.The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well.The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action.It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin.Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money.Table-tennis is very moderate;it is not so rough as football.It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days.Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.One April 1st , a country bus was going along a winding road when it slowed down and stopped。Then the driver turned to the passengers with a worried look on his face and said this poor bus is getting old。It isn't going as well as it used to。there is only one thing to do if we want to go home today。I will count three。I want you all to lean forward suddenly as hard as you can。This should get the bus started again but if it doesn’t’ t，I am afraid there is nothing else I can do。Now，all of you lean back as far as you can in your seats and get ready。

When making the study plan, we should remember two things.First, be realistic.Don’t try to do too many things.Second, a good study plan should be flexible.We may make some small changes on a weekly basis but follow the same pattern.Let’s be the master of time, start out plan now.31 One day when women's dresses were on sale at the Far East Department Store, a dignified middle-aged man decided to get his wife a piece.But he soon found himself being battered by women.Then, with head lowered and arms flailing, he plowed through the crowed.“Can't you act like a gentleman?” “I have been acting like a gentleman for an hour.From now on, I am acting like a lady.”

When Tom Howard was seventeen years old he was as tall as his father, so he began to borrow Mr.Howard's clothes when he wanted to go out with his friends in the evening.Mr.Howard did not like this, and he always got very angry when he found his son wearing any of his things.

母親節(jié)英語短文

Night after night, she came to tuck me in, even long after my childhood years.Following her longstanding custom, she'd lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.I don't remember when it first started annoying me — her hands pushing my hair that way.But it did annoy me, for they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin.Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, “Don't do that anymore —your hands are too rough!” She didn't say anything in reply.But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love.Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts returned to that night.By then I missed my mother's hands, missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead.Sometimes the incident seemed very close, sometimes far away.But always it lurked, in the back of my mind.Well, the years have passed, and I'm not a little girl anymore.Mom is in her mid-seventies, and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family.She's been our doctor, reaching into a medicine cabinet for the remedy to calm a young girl's stomach or soothe the boy's scraped knee.She cooks the best fried chicken in the world...gets stains out of blue jeans like I never could...Now, my own children are grown and gone.Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her.So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly run across my face to brush the hair from my forehead.Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night my young voice complained, “Don't do that anymore — your hands are too rough!” Catching Mom's hand in hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night.I thought she'd remember, as I did.But Mom didn't know what I was talking about.She had forgotten — and forgiven — long ago.That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands.And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found 此文章為摘抄

自由職業(yè)者，遠(yuǎn)不僅是在家辦公

導(dǎo)語：自由職業(yè)的全部，就是對自由，以及自由所賴以生存的基礎(chǔ)的一種渴望。這種自由意味著，我們必須為自己的成功或失敗、快樂或不幸、富有或貧窮承擔(dān)全部責(zé)任。There are two types of freelancers.On one hand are those who have been forced into self-employment as service providers, because they’ve lost their jobs and are having a hard time finding another one.On the other hand are those who would be freelancing no matter what: even if the job market were booming, and even if the Internet weren’t around to give so many opportunities to work from home.They would still be hawking their services, working in their pajamas, and being completely happy doing it.The latter are what I call freelancers at heart.They have the freelancing mindset.For them, freelancing is more than about working from home.What Freelancing Is REALLY About

I’ve only been freelancing for two years, not at all as long as many others out there.However, I recognize that true freelancers–those who do so by choice and not by circumstance–have a different way of thinking.In this post, I describe the five characteristics that make up the freelancing mindset.1.Independence Freelancers crave independence… from bosses and employers, from ―the establishment,‖ from structures and hierarchies imposed upon them by somebody else.Sure, we work for clients.In a way, they’re our bosses, because we have to meet their requirements and satisfy their expectations.Unlike bosses, clients can be chosen or rejected.We can sever relationships with a client if things aren’t working out, or if we don’t like how they’re treating us.This isn’t very easy for somebody who’s an employee.Quitting your job is not something an employee can do lightly, unless you have a lot of money stashed in the bank, or a job offer waiting in the background.Freelancers are willing to self-direct, to self-manage, and to be our own bosses–including all the responsibilities this entails.2.Adventure

The freelancing mindset is one that is open to new experiences and challenges, and is always looking for adventure.In contrast, an employee mindset wants predictability and routine.Don’t get me wrong.I’m a stickler for routine, and if I veer away from it, my productivity suffers.Yet in spite of my daily routine, I’m always working on new projects, learning about new things, meeting new clients and prospects, developing new skills, and redesigning my business.For other freelancers, part of the adventure is working in your home office one day and in a coffee shop the next.Or, working while traveling the world.Our lives are like a create-your-own-adventure book.3.Risk

True freelancers are not averse to risk.With our independence comes more responsibility, more accountability for our lives.Not having a fixed income every month, for example, is part of the risk.The risk may scare us, but it doesn’t stop us.It’s also part of the adventure.This uncertainty is more than others can bear.If I were the sole breadwinner of my family, I’m not sure I could put up with this myself.(In fact, the reason I took so long to finally plunge in my dream to be self-employed was because I wanted to make sure that my family wouldn’t go hungry if I failed.)

4.Creativity

Freelancers tend to be creative people.I say this not just because a lot of us are writers and artists and photographers.Programmers, virtual assistants and other service providers are creative in their everyday lives as well.Our work are forms of self-expression.Our daily lives are a reflection of what we believe in and stand for.We’re creative in the way we handle the daily problems and challenges of freelancing.We don’t rely on others for solutions.5.Idealism

Finally, the freelancing mindset is characterized by idealism.This is what makes some of us stick through the hardships, failures and pitfalls of freelancing.We believe in a ―better world,‖ where one doesn’t have to fit a mold to succeed in life.We believe that fancy titles are meaningless(and if not, we can give ourselves a fancy title anytime we wanted to).We believe in the freelancing lifestyle, and we’re committed to make it work.We believe we can be happy, even prosperous and downright wealthy, doing what we love.In Conclusion

Freelancing is all about the desire for more freedom and all that it entails.This freedom means we’re solely accountable for our own success or failure, for our happiness or misery, for our wealth or poverty.There are no bosses, no backstabbing co-workers, no unfair HR policies to blame.Unless you embrace this, then freelancing will suck.If you don’t believe this in your heart, then you will resent the work it takes to find clients.You’ll hate not having a regular paycheck and paid sick and vacation days.You’ll reject having to work long hours occasionally(am I the only one who worked longer hours while employed?).Some freelancers have a freelancing work arrangement, but they’re employees at heart.They’re the ones who will jump the freelancing ship at the first opportunity of a good job.I’m not saying that’s right or wrong.After all, freelancing isn’t for everyone.【參考譯文】

自由職業(yè)者可以分為兩種。

一種是那些失業(yè)后找工作有困難，被迫成為自由職業(yè)者，向他人提供某種服務(wù)的人。

另一種，是那些無論如何，也會(huì)選擇為自己工作的人：即使就業(yè)市場非常繁榮，即使沒有Internet為自由職業(yè)所提供的便利，他們?nèi)匀粫?huì)選擇穿著睡衣在家工作，自由自在地服務(wù)他們的客戶。

后一種自由職業(yè)者是被我稱為天生的自由職業(yè)者。他們擁有自由職業(yè)者的觀念。對他們而言，自由職業(yè)并不僅僅是在家工作。

自由職業(yè)的真正含義——

我以自由職業(yè)者的方式工作，只有兩年的時(shí)間，不象其它人那么久。然而，我已經(jīng)認(rèn)識到，有些人是真正的自由職業(yè)者：他們是自愿選成為自由職業(yè)者，而不是因?yàn)榫秤鏊取＿@些人有著完全不同的思維模式。

這篇博文中，我來探討一下構(gòu)成自由職業(yè)觀念的五種特征。

1.獨(dú)立自主

自由職業(yè)者渴望獨(dú)立......不受老板或雇主的左右，或任何由其它人強(qiáng)加于他們身上的東西：包括現(xiàn)有的管理架構(gòu)，等級制度或機(jī)構(gòu)體系。的確，我們?yōu)榭蛻舳ぷ鳌Ｔ谀撤N意義上，他們就是我們的老板，我們必須滿足他們的要求，滿足他們的期望。不同的是，你可選擇或拒絕自己的客戶。如果事情進(jìn)展的不順利，或者我們不喜歡客戶對待我們的態(tài)度，我們可以搞砸與他的關(guān)系。

如果你是一個(gè)雇員，就很難這樣做。放棄工作并不是一個(gè)雇員隨便就能做到的，除非你已經(jīng)在銀行有不少的存款，或者說有一份新的工作在等著你。

自由職業(yè)者希望能夠自主選擇自己未來的方向，并自我管理，成為自己的老板，并承擔(dān)與之相應(yīng)的責(zé)任。

2.冒險(xiǎn)精神

自由職業(yè)是一種敢于面對全新體驗(yàn)和挑戰(zhàn)的，并且不斷尋求冒險(xiǎn)的觀念。與之相反，雇員們希望自己走上的，是一條可以預(yù)見到未來的路途。

不要誤解我，我也是一個(gè)循規(guī)蹈矩的人。一旦我偏離了這一方式，工作的效率就會(huì)大大降低。

然而，除于每天的事務(wù)性工作，我還在不斷接受新的項(xiàng)目，學(xué)習(xí)新東西，約見新客戶和潛在客戶，掌握新的技能，并重新設(shè)計(jì)我的業(yè)務(wù)。

對其它自由職業(yè)者而言，其中的一項(xiàng)體驗(yàn)就是今天在家辦公，明天可能在隔壁的咖啡館里。也可能你一邊周游世界，一邊工作賺錢。我們的生活，就象一本叫做《創(chuàng)造你的歷險(xiǎn)記》的書。

3.風(fēng)險(xiǎn)

自由職業(yè)者并不反對風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。與我們的獨(dú)立性與生俱來的，就是責(zé)任心，以及對自己生活的把握。每月沒有固定的工資，就是其中的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)之一。這種風(fēng)險(xiǎn)可能會(huì)讓我們感到恐懼，但不會(huì)阻止我們。這是我們冒險(xiǎn)經(jīng)歷中的一部分。

這種不確定性，超出其它人的承受限度。如果我是家庭中唯一的生活支柱，我不確定自己是否能夠做出這種選擇。（事實(shí)由，我之所以花了這么久，才從事自己夢想中的自由職業(yè)，就是因?yàn)橄胍_保我的家庭不會(huì)因?yàn)槲业氖《ゐI。）4.創(chuàng)造力

自己職業(yè)者往往具有創(chuàng)造力。我之所以這樣說，不僅因?yàn)槲覀冎械脑S多人是作家、藝術(shù)家、攝影師，程序員、虛擬助理或其它服務(wù)供應(yīng)商在他們每天的生活中，也是極具創(chuàng)造力的。

我們的工作，就是自我的表現(xiàn)形式。我們每天的生活，是我們信仰和選擇的反映。我們在處理與自由職業(yè)有關(guān)的日常問題和挑戰(zhàn)時(shí)，極具創(chuàng)造力。我們不會(huì)依賴別人給我們提供解決方案。5.理想主義

最后，自由職業(yè)的觀念體現(xiàn)了一種理想主義。正是這一點(diǎn)，幫助我們渡過了自由職業(yè)生涯中的困難、失敗和陷阱。

我們相信有一個(gè)―更好的世界‖，在那里，人們不需要按照設(shè)計(jì)好的模子來生活，以獲得成功。我們相信那些花里忽哨的頭銜其實(shí)毫無意義（否則的話，我們可以隨時(shí)給自己一個(gè)這樣的頭銜，只要自己愿意就行）。我們相信自由職業(yè)者的生活方式，也盡力讓這種方式成功。

我們相信自己會(huì)幸福、繁榮和真正的富足，僅靠著從事自己喜歡的事業(yè)。

結(jié)論

自由職業(yè)的全部，就是對自由，以及自由所賴以生存的基礎(chǔ)的一種渴望。這種自由意味著，我們必須為自己的成功或失敗、快樂或不幸、富有或貧窮承擔(dān)全部責(zé)任。

沒有老板，不能暗算自己的同事，沒有不公平的人事制度可以遷怒。除非你真的喜歡自由職業(yè)，否則，你可能會(huì)感到非常糟糕。

如果你不是打心眼里相信這些，那么你會(huì)憎恨尋找客戶所需要的大量工作。你會(huì)對沒有定期工資、帶薪病假和年假感到不快。你會(huì)對經(jīng)常性的長時(shí)間工作充滿抵觸（在從事全職工作時(shí)，難道只有我一個(gè)人長時(shí)間地工作嗎？）。

有些自由職業(yè)者，雖然擁有自由職業(yè)者的日程安排，卻在本質(zhì)上停留于雇員的心態(tài)。他們一有好的工作機(jī)會(huì)，就會(huì)跳下自由職業(yè)之船。我并不是說，這種做法是對是錯(cuò)。畢竟，自由職業(yè)并不適合所有的人。

If You Have a Dream… 如果你有夢想……

If you have a dream, don’t wait for some distant day to come.It may be too late before you’ve even begun.Be true to yourself first and foremost.The only important thing in life is what you do with the time you spend here on earth.Don’t be afraid to follow your desires.They are neither silly nor selfish;take the time and do what makes you feel alive.Leave your fears and regrets in the past.Our eyes are placed in front because it’s more important to look ahead than to look back.If you look back, your journey is ended.You have only today to begin anew and follow your dreams, for in the end, all we have are our memories.Do not quiet your dreams.When the twilight comes to us, let there be no excuses, no explanations, no regrets!

The Attitude towards Your Life

If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view.By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the

incentive to follow through on your goals.You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance.Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective.Don't leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own.You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations.Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them.Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries.Take your fear and transform it into trust;learn to rise above anxiety and doubt.Turn your “worry hours” into “productive hours”.Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in.You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life.You will find happiness when you adopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it an important part of your world.Every Living Person Has Problems

What︵is the secret ingredient︵of tough people▼ that enables them to succeed?↘ Why do they survive the tough times▼ when others are overcome by them? ↘Why do they win when others lose?↘Why do they soar when others sink?↘

The answer is very simple.It's all︵in how they perceive their problems.Yes, every living person has problems.A problem-free life is︵an︵illusion—a mirage︵in the desert.Accept that fact.Every mountain has a peak.Every valley has its low point.Life has its ups︵and downs,↗ its peaks︵and its valleys.↘No one is︵up all the time,↘nor︵are they down all the time.Problems do end.They are all resolved︵in time.You may not be able to control the times, but you can compose︵your response.You can turn your pain︵into profanity-or into poetry.The choice︵is︵up to you.You may not have chosen your tough time, but you can choose how you will react to it.For instance,↗ what is the positive reaction▼ to a terrible financial setback?↘ In this situation↗ would it be the positive reaction to cop︵out and run︵away?↗ Escape through alcohol,↗drug,↗ or suicide?↘ No!Such negative reactions only produce greater problems▼ by promising a temporary solution to the pressing problem.The positive solution to a problem▼ may require courage to initiate it.When you control your reaction to the seemingly un-controllable problem︵of life, then︵in fact you do control the problem's effect︵on you.Your reaction to the problem is the last word!That's the bottom line.What will︵you let this problem do to you?↘ It can make you tender↗ or tough.↘ It can make you better↗ or bitter.↘ It all depends︵on you.In the final︵analysis, the tough people who survive the tough times do so▼ because they've chosen to react positively▼ to their predicament.Tough times never last, but tough people do.Tough people stick︵it︵out.History teaches︵us that every problem has︵a lifespan.No problem︵is permanent.Storms︵always give︵way to the sun.Winter always thaws︵into springtime.Your storm will pass.Your winter will thaw.Your problem will be solved.Return to Love 回歸真愛

When we were born, we were programmed perfectly.We had a natural tendency to focus on love.Our imaginations were creative and flourishing, and we knew how to use them.We were connected to a world much richer than the one we connect to now, a world full of enchantment and a sense of the miraculous.So what happened? Why is it that we reached a certain age, looked around, and the enchantment was gone?

Because we were taught to focus elsewhere;We were taught to think unnaturally；We were taught a way of looking at the world that contradicts who we are；We were taught that things like grades, being good enough, money, and doing things the right way, are more important than love.Love is what we were born with;fear is what we learned here.The spiritual journey is the relinquishment, or unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts.Love is the essential fact.It is our ultimate reality and our purpose on earth.To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life.Meaning doesn't lie in things.Meaning lies in us.When we attach value to things that aren't love--the money, the car, the house, the prestige--we love things that can't love us back.We are searching for meaning in the meaningless.Love is the intuitive knowledge of our hearts.It's a “world beyond” that we all secretly long for.An ancient memory of this love haunts all of us all the time, and beckons us to return.Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back.Those who wish to sing always find a song.At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.What is wrong with our world is that love is in short supply.The source of Energy

A summary of the physical and chemical nature of life must begin, not on the Earth, but in the Sun;in fact, at the Sun's very center.It is here that is to be found the source of the energy that the Sun constantly pours out into space as light and heat.This energy is librated at the center of the Sun as billions upon billions of nuclei of hydrogen atoms collide with each other and fuse together to form nuclei of helium, and in doing so, release some of the energy that is stored in the nuclei of atoms.The output of light and heat of the Sun requires that some 600 million tons of hydrogen be converted into helium in the Sun every second.This the Sun has been doing for several thousands of millions of year.The nuclear energy is released at the Sun's center as high-energy gamma radiation, a form of electromagnetic radiation like light and radio waves, only of very much shorter wavelength.This gamma radiation is absorbed by atoms inside the Sun to be reemitted at slightly longer wavelengths.This radiation , in its turn is absorbed and reemitted.As the energy filters through the layers of the solar interior, it passes through the X-ray part of the spectrum eventually

becoming light.At this stage, it has reached what we call the solar surface, and can escape into space without being absorbed further by solar atoms.A very small fraction of the Sun's light and heat is emitted in such directions that after passing unhindered through interplanetary space, it hits the Earth.Collectibles Collectibles have been a part of almost every culture since ancient times.Whereas some objects have been collected for their usefulness, others have been selected for their aesthetic beauty alone.In the United States, the kinds of collectibles currently popular range from traditional objects such as stamps, coins, rare books, and art to more recent items of interest like dolls, bottles, baseball cards, and comic books.Interest in collectibles has increased enormously during the past decade, in part because some collectibles have demonstrated their value as investments.Especially during cycles of high inflation, investors try to purchase tangibles that will at least retain their current market values.In general, the most traditional collectibles will be sought because they have preserved their value over the years, there is an organized auction market for them, and they are most easily sold in the event that cash is needed.Some examples of the most stable collectibles are old masters, Chinese ceramics, stamps, coins, rare books, antique jewelry, silver, porcelain, art by well-known artists, autographs, and period furniture.Other items of more recent interest include old photograph records, old magazines, post cards, baseball cards, art glass, dolls, classic cars, old bottles, and comic books.These relatively new kinds of collectibles may actually appreciate faster as short-term investments, but may not hold their value as long-term investments.Once a collectible has had its initial play, it appreciates at a fairly steady rate, supported by an increasing number of enthusiastic collectors competing for the limited supply of collectibles that become increasingly more difficult to locate.Schooling and education It is commonly believed in United States that school is where people go to get an education.Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school.The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling.Education knows no bounds.It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor.It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning.The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist.Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises.A chance conversation with a stranger

may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions.People are engaged in education from infancy on.Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term.It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life.Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next.Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on.The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the working of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught.For example, high school students know that there not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.Andrew Carnegie Andrew Carnegie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel industry in the United States, and , in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America.His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments.Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society.He opposed charity, preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves.“He who dies rich, dies disgraced,” he often said.Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history.He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University.Other philanthropic gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie's generosity.His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all enjoy today.International business and cross-cultural communication

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication.Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign

counterparts.Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement.It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation.In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal.It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further.The American negotiator's role becomes that of an impersonal purveyor of information and cash.In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator's position.Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator.Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals.Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits.In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator.Telecommuting

Telecommuting--substituting the computer for the trip to the job----has been hailed as a solution to all kinds of problems related to office work.For workers it promises freedom from the office, less time wasted in traffic, and help with child-care conflicts.For management, telecommuting helps keep high performers on board, minimizes tardiness and absenteeism by eliminating commutes, allows periods of solitude for high-concentration tasks, and provides scheduling flexibility.In some areas, such as Southern California and Seattle, Washington, local governments are encouraging companies to start telecommuting programs in order to reduce rush-hour congestion and improve air quality.But these benefits do not come easily.Making a telecommuting program work requires careful planning and an understanding of the differences between telecommuting realities and popular images.Many workers are seduced by rosy illusions of life as a telecommuter.A computer programmer from New York City moves to the tranquil Adirondack Mountains and stays in contact with her office via computer.A manager comes in to his office three days a week and works at home the other two.An accountant stays home to care for her sick child;she hooks up her telephone modern connections and does office work between calls to the doctor.These are powerful images, but they are a limited reflection of reality.Telecommuting workers soon learn that it is almost impossible to concentrate on work and care for a young child at the same time.Before a certain age, young children cannot recognize, much less respect, the necessary boundaries between work and family.Additional child support is necessary if the parent is to get any work done.Management too must separate the myth from the reality.Although the media has paid a great deal of attention to telecommuting in most cases it is the employee’s situation, not the availability of technology that precipitates a telecommuting arrangement.That is partly why, despite the widespread press coverage, the number of companies with work-at-home programs or policy guidelines remains small.部分文章譯文

人人有本難念的經(jīng)

堅(jiān)韌不撥的人成功的秘訣是什么？他們?yōu)槭裁茨芡^艱難的時(shí)刻，而其他人卻被困難所壓倒？為什么成功的是他們，而失敗的是其他人？為什么他們一飛沖天，而其他人都深陷泥沼？

答案很簡單，全看他們是如何看待自己面臨的難題。不錯(cuò)，人人有本難念的經(jīng)。沒有難題困擾的人生只能是一個(gè)幻想，是沙漠中的海市蜃樓。還是接受這個(gè)事實(shí)吧。每一座山都有巔峰，每一個(gè)峽谷都有深底。人生也有興衰起伏，不會(huì)有人一生都時(shí)乖命蹇。難題總有了結(jié)的一天。隨著時(shí)間的推移，一切難題都會(huì)迎刃而解。

你也許不能控制時(shí)勢，可是你能夠冷靜應(yīng)對。你既可以把痛苦轉(zhuǎn)換為怨天尤人的詛咒，也可以賦予之以詩意，這全在于你自己的選擇。時(shí)運(yùn)不濟(jì)的你或許無從選擇，但是你可以選擇應(yīng)對的方略。譬如，遭遇一次嚴(yán)重的經(jīng)濟(jì)挫折，究竟怎么做才稱得上積極應(yīng)對呢？放棄而后潛逃？借酒澆愁？吸毒麻醉？抑或自殺？這樣的逃避是積極應(yīng)對嗎？當(dāng)然不是！這樣一些消極的反應(yīng)似乎暫時(shí)解決了迫在眉睫的難題，但事實(shí)上只會(huì)招致更棘手的難題。積極的應(yīng)對只能是鼓起勇氣著手解決。對于人生中看似無法控制的難題，當(dāng)你能夠控制自己的應(yīng)對，那么你就事實(shí)上控制了難題對你的影響。你對難題的應(yīng)對是至關(guān)重要的、最根本的。難題能對你產(chǎn)生什么樣的影響呢？它可以使你脆弱，也可以使你堅(jiān)強(qiáng)；它可以使你升華，也可以使你痛苦。全在于你自己。

歸根結(jié)底，堅(jiān)韌的人之所以能挺過艱難的歲月，是因?yàn)樗麄冞x擇積極地去應(yīng)對困境。艱難的歲月不會(huì)沒完沒了，堅(jiān)韌的人會(huì)始終不懈，堅(jiān)持到底。歷史告訴我們，每一個(gè)難題都有始有終，任何難題都不會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)存在。暴風(fēng)雨過后一定是燦爛的陽光。嚴(yán)冬必然會(huì)化為春光。你的暴風(fēng)雨也會(huì)過去，你的冬天也會(huì)回暖。你的難題終將解決.回歸真愛

出生時(shí)我們的基因是那么完美，我們自然而然地向往愛。我們擁有無限的想象力和創(chuàng)意，并且知道如何運(yùn)用它們。當(dāng)時(shí)的世界比如今的具有更加豐富的內(nèi)涵，充滿魅力和奇跡。

那么我們到底怎么了？為什么當(dāng)我們年歲漸長，環(huán)顧四周時(shí)卻發(fā)現(xiàn)原來生活的魅力已經(jīng)不復(fù)存在了？

因?yàn)槌砷L偏移了我們的視線，扭曲了我們的心志，甚至違背了我們原來的世界觀。它使我們 覺得拿高分、表現(xiàn)好、掙錢多、不犯錯(cuò)等要比愛重要的多。

愛是與生俱來的，恐懼則是后天學(xué)會(huì)的。人類心靈的旅程是一個(gè)放棄或忘卻恐懼，并從心底里接受真愛的過程。愛是根本，是我們唯一的歸宿和活著的原因。意識到這一點(diǎn)，感受自我與他人之間的真愛，方才是生命的真諦。

這一意義無法通過任何物質(zhì)來體現(xiàn)，它僅存在于你我心中。如果我們珍惜的是金錢、汽車、房子、名譽(yù)，我們將得不到任何愛的回報(bào)，付出的一切都是徒勞。

這里是Faith輕松電臺。愛是我們心中的本能，是埋藏在我們心底的“世外桃源”。對愛的向往一直縈繞在我們心頭，并且時(shí)刻召喚我們回歸真愛。

心靈的獨(dú)奏是不完整的，直到另一顆心靈有所回應(yīng)。渴望歌唱的人總能找到曲譜。真愛所到之處，詩情畫意無處不在。

我們的世界讓人無所適從只因真愛太少。
