如何让老板成为你的朋友

Don't be a doormat"Remember that politics does not mean sucking up to the boss. You will find "yes" people in every organisation. The world is full of suck-ups who tell people exactly what they want to hear. Some managers love to be surrounded by people who tell them they are right even if they aren't. Don't agree just to be agreeable or because of your boss's title. This does you, your boss and your company a great disservice. If you have a better way of doing something or an opposite opinion, present it. Don't allow yourself to be walked on.

梦想

When we were young, we had dreams and expectations. We imagine things, we keep thinking about what we want to be, what we want to do, what makes us proud and happy and what we will become. We grew up, and things seemed like having its own way. We accept our success or failures and we move on. The rapid change, the need to do the urgent things, the works, the pressures and the failures, all kill part of our visions. Things have changed, but they cannot really take away the dreams. We still have to dream on, to visualize our desires, our wants, our vision of our future, even when we are considered too old for such things.

庭院大贱卖与跳蚤市场(英文)

Everybody loves a bargain. One person's useless, ugly, or broken object can be another person's bargain. That is why so many Americans do not throw things away. They put them outside their house. They put on a For Sale sign. And, as simple as that, they have a yard sale. In some parts of the country, such a sale might be called a garage sale(现场旧货出售) or a moving sale. Whatever the name, the activity is the same. People sell things they no longer want.
