引用: 今天我跟老板说: (719 bytes) Posted by: 立委 Date: April 02, 2008 11:52AM This is the best thing of the job I love. I start everyday knowing that today is better than yesterday and tomorrow will be even better. 这种感觉很好。一步一个脚印,也许进步是缓慢的,点滴的,但明确知道明天更美好,这种明确性让人宽心满足。 并不是每个工作都有这样的确定性,学文的,学理的,未来的不确定性很差,如果是搞表演的,搞体育的,达到一个高峰以后,因为人要老要丑,体力要下降,几乎肯定是江河日下,只能做一场没有希望的挣扎。 相比之下,做工程的就比较好。除非是傻瓜设计的系统(譬如微软的操作系统),质量可能与时间成反比,一个正常的系统总是越来越好。万一路走错了,至少可以倒回来。 因此,我主张孩子学工,或者学一门手艺(医匠,牙匠,木匠,管道工,美容师都成)。因为,我的观察,学工的,有手艺的,生活得单纯幸福。 自己的享受与他人享受的一致性。 (914 bytes) Posted by: mirror Date: April 02, 2008 07:09PM 有朋友研究历史,而且是近代史。看文献就是种享受了。看的结果分析出来讲给学生们听、出书,就是他人的享受了。利益来自他人的享受。 在今天会开车不算是什么技术了。早年喜欢开车的人当司机,拉客载货,也是一种乐趣。生活得单纯幸福的要点是会麻痹自己--能够容忍周围的人活得比自己更好。但是能够达到这个境界的人并不多,没有办法才借出家的方法来加强这种超脱世俗的能力。 温饱问题是个物理上的事儿,好办。而幸福是个感觉的问题,不好处置。各类宗教的存在理由也就在此。更复杂的是幸福的感觉还是个时间的函数,会发生变化!新婚时代,幸福与快感是重合的,学术上叫简并。随着时间的推移,幸福与快感就发生分离了。所谓非线性就是:虽然幸福与快感是独立的,但还有个coupling--幸福感转变快感以及快感转变成幸福。转换的阈值、转换的频率、转换的持续时间等等也因人不同。 开拓型与重复型是两种模式。对一个系统(集团)而言,两者的平衡、调和很重要,但对个人,大约只能是一个型。到了与人奋斗其乐无穷的地步,就是堕落了。

Examples and Tips 面试问题举例 1.How many pieces of luggage fly through the San Francisco airport in a 24-hour period? Candidate: The best way to approach this is to define luggage. Can we assume were just talking about personal luggagethe carry-on and checked bags of airline passengers traveling to or from San Francisco? Tips: (1)When answering a complex question, start by defining parameters to narrow the scope of the problem. (2)Dont worry about getting the exact figures right. All you need are reasonable numbers that will let you work through the problem. (3)Dont be concerned if the interviewer asks you about a topic or industry you dont know well. Just be sure to ask questions about areas you need clarified. (4)Be ready for the interviewer to challenge a few of your assumptions, and dont panic when it happens. Revise your assumptions if necessary. (5)Its always okay to ask questions if something isnt clear. Make sure to articulate any assumptions youre making. (6)Before moving on, take a moment to summarize your progress and state your next steps. (7)Its fine to start a case with a working hypothesis. Just be sure to explain your hypothesis and why youre pursuing it. (8)Be sure to pay close attention and stay with the interviewer in case the conversation changes direction. (9)Be prepared to move beyond theoretical discussions. At some point, you may have to show off your practical knowledge and business intuition. (10)Showing youve taken the time to learn some of the intricacies of how a particular role operates is much more effective than simply saying you want the job. (11)Use frameworks only if theyre helpful. You may not need them all the time. some popular words Clarification n. 解释,澄清 clarify vt. 澄清,阐明 Ask the interviewer for clarification. 向面试考官问清楚
