Halloween已经快过去一个月了,到现在才放上那时的照片,我这个效率也真叫”强”了吧!
这是我在美国过的第一Halloween.我们公司要求一定要穿Costume,只能拉着PANDA带我去买了套海盗服来.去买服装的那天是万圣节的前一天,来Costume的人那叫一个人山人海,排队付钱时等了N久,看来大家都是热情高涨啊!
先来一张我的海盗装,帅不?哈哈!
再来,这是坐我旁边的一位同事
另外一个同事
中午经常一起吃饭的人
站我旁边的也是中国人,我的唯一一位中国同事,中间嘴巴涂成红色的是日本人,边上两个是墨西哥的.他们四个是一个部门的.
再来张合影,都是管理层的,最右边的是我的SUPERVOSOR
还有,晚上来我们家要糖果的小孩子
这些小孩都好有礼貌,我把一大盆糖递给他们,让他们自己抓,他们就只拿一颗两颗的,还要说:Thank you! Happy Halloween!让他们抓一大把,他们也不抓.有个小孩拿了糖就走了,没有跟我说谢谢,过了一会,又跑来敲门跟我说谢谢,原来他忘记说了,站在远处的妈妈提醒他,他又跑回来跟我说,真是又礼貌又可爱啊!
那天晚上来要糖的小孩可真多啊,一开始新鲜拍了几张照,后来人太多了,也懒的拍了,发糖都来不及.买了好多糖,本以为还发不完,结果后来差一点都不够,还好这些小孩只拿一两颗,要不就要让PANDA跑出去再多买点了!

远景Vision
在确定你的职业，并为之作长期安排时，很重要的就是远景 (Vision), 也就是如果你选择了这个职业，三五年后你在职业上的情况会怎么样，十年以后会怎么样。在这个过程中你预期会获得什么，失去什么。
更具体一点说，我觉得在选择职业时，要考虑三个方面。
首先，什么是你最喜欢做的工作。这一点至关重要，如果你做的工作是你很喜欢做的事，一方面，你可能真的在享受工作本身带来的乐趣。另一方面，你的工作表现也可能会很好，你所收到的关于工作表现的正面反馈又会使你更喜欢这份工作。
各种不同的工作会给你带来完全不同的生活。每个职业都有不同的优点和缺点。就业市场如同其它市场一样，如果某种职业各方面都很好，那么势必会有很多人都想从事这种工作，竞争的结果是要么收入减少，工作强度增大，使职业本身的吸引力减少，要么工作所需的技巧和难度加大，使进入这个职业的难度加大。
那么，怎么知道什么是你最喜欢的工作哪。(你可能会奇怪我提出这个问题，但很多研究表明，大部分人并不知道自己最喜欢的工作是什么。：P) 很多专家都建议你回想一下你过去十年中最快乐的时光。然后想一下究竟是什么原因使你在那时觉得快乐。比如是金钱，觉得受人尊敬，安全感，悠闲，挑战性，自由发挥你的能力，成就感，良好的人际关系，还是别的什么？什么对你来说是最重要的？
在知道对你来说最重要的事情以后，你就可以看一下究竟哪些职业可以为你带来你所渴望的这些事情。
长处和可行性Strength & Feasibility
另一个重要的因素就是你自己的长处。你擅长分析解决问题，还是与人沟通，建立良好的人际关系，还是其它事？显然，如果所选择的职业能把你的长处完全发挥出来，你工作时就可以收到事半功倍的效果。
第三个因素就是选择这个职业的可行性，比如从事这个职业是否需要特别的训练和教育，或者特定的资格证书等。然后你可以根据自己的情况判断一下你进入这个职业的难度有多大。
如果你选择的职业是你所喜欢的，又能把你的长处发挥得凌沥尽至，同时你有切实可行的加入这个职业的计划，那么你就会一步步的向你的远景–你所期待的目标前进。
生存 Survive
我刚才说了怎么根据你的远景确定你的职业道路。其实远景Vision这个词在一些企业的管理中也用得很多。比如IBM很长一段时间把公司的远景作为企业计划中很重要的一个考虑。
然而这一切在九十年代中期有了变化。那时候IBM无法适应急剧变化的信息技术市场，一下子从美国利润最高的企业之一变成亏损最严重的企业之一。新上任的总裁Lou Gersner进行了大刀阔斧的改革，载了很多人。一些反对的声音质问道：“这样改法，公司的远景在哪里？” Lou Gersner回答说：“IBM现在最不需要的就是远景.” 我觉得这个想法其实挺有道理的，因为当时IBM最重要的事情是生存survival, 如果不能恢复盈利，那么公司可能不得不被分拆或收购，IBM作为一个公司将不复存在，远景更本就不存在。实践证明这一做法收到了很好的效果，IBM很快恢复了盈利。Lou Gersner也并不是一个缺乏远见的人，他为IBM设计的远景就是从一个计算机硬件供应商转变成为信息服务和软件的领导者。在生存的问题得到缓解之后， IBM很快通过一系列收购和调整不断向着这个远景靠近。

A Japanese Company and a US company decided to have a canoe race on the Columbia river. Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance before the race.
On the big day, the Japanese team won by a mile.
Afterwards, the USA team became very discouraged and depressed. The management of the US company decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found. A “Measurement Team” made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action.
Their conclusion was that the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while the US team had 1 person rowing and 8 people steering.
So the management of the US company hired a consulting company and paid them incredible amounts of money. They advised that too many people were steering the boat and not enough people were rowing.
So to prevent losing to the japanese again the next year. The US team chose to ignore the reports findings. The management team ’s structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents and 1 assistant superintendant steering manager. They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the “Rowing Team Quality First Program” or RTQFP for short, with meetings, dinners, t shirts and free pens for the rower. “We must give the rower empowerment and enrichment through this quality program.”
The next year the Japanese team won by 2 miles. Humiliated, the management team laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of the new canoe, sold the paddles and cancelled all capital investments for new equipment. They then used the money saved by giving a high performance award to the steering managers and distributed the rest of the money as bonuses to the senior executives.

If you have difficulty understanding the current world financial situation, the following should help…
Once upon a time in a village in India , a man announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10.
The villagers seeing there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10, but, as the supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts.
The man further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms.
The offer rate increased to $25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now act as buyer, on his behalf.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers: ‘ Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when he returns from the city, you can sell them back to him for $50. ‘
The villagers squeezed together their savings and bought all the monkeys.
Then they never saw the man or his assistant again, only monkeys everywhere! Welcome to WALL STREET.

People who think that taking “more” money from the rich (as if they already don’t) and giving it to the poor, the lazy, and the non-contribuitng is going to lead to better society will get a reality check real soon.
“For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible”
*************************************************************************************************************************************
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
So, that’s what they decided to do.
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. “Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.” Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free.
But what about the other six men – the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his ‘fair share?’
They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.
And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.
“I only got a dollar out of the $20,”declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,” but he got $10!”
“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar, too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more than I got”
“That’s true!!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!”
“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison. “We didn’t get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!”
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.
