不做有才華的窮人
The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day.A few days ago, my car was not running well.
世界上滿坑滿谷都是精明能干、才華橫溢、學(xué)富五車(chē)以及極具天賦之人，我們每天都會(huì)見(jiàn)到他們。幾天前，我的汽車(chē)運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)不靈了。
I pulled it into a garage, and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is,great talent is not enough.
我把它開(kāi)進(jìn)維修廠，一位年輕的機(jī)械工只消幾分鐘就把它修好了。他僅憑傾聽(tīng)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的聲音就能確定哪兒有毛病，這讓我驚奇不己。然而遺憾的是，光有非凡才華是不夠的。
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn.
找常常吃驚，為什么有才華的人卻只有微薄的收入。
I heard the other day that less than percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year.Abusiness consultant who specializes inl the medical trade was telling me how many doctors, dentists and chiropractors struggle financially.
前幾天我聽(tīng)人說(shuō)，只有不到5%的美國(guó)人年收入在10萬(wàn)美元以上。一位精通藥品貿(mào)易的商務(wù)顧問(wèn)曾經(jīng)告訴我，有許多醫(yī)生、牙醫(yī)和按摩師生活拮據(jù)。
All this time,I thought that when they graduated, the dollars would pour in. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase.
前我總以為他們一畢業(yè)，財(cái)源便會(huì)滾滾而來(lái)。這位商務(wù)顧問(wèn)告訴了我一句話：
They are one skill away from great wealth.”What this phrase means is that most people need only to learn and master one more skill and their income would jump exponentially3.
以“離發(fā)大財(cái)，他們還差一項(xiàng)技能�！边@句話的意思是說(shuō)，大部分人還需多學(xué)習(xí)并掌握一項(xiàng)技能，他們的收入才能呈指數(shù)倍增長(zhǎng)。
I have mentioned before that financial intelligence is a synergy4 0f accounting, investing, marketing and law.
以前我提到過(guò)，財(cái)商是會(huì)計(jì)、投資、市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷(xiāo)和法律方面的能力綜合。
Combine those four technical skills and making money with money is easier. When it comes to money, the only skill most people know is to work hard.
將上述四種專(zhuān)業(yè)技能結(jié)合起來(lái)，以錢(qián)生錢(qián)就會(huì)更容易。說(shuō)到錢(qián)，大部分人所知的唯一技能就是拼命工作。
When I graduated from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in 1969, my educated dad was happy. Standard Oil of California had hired me for its oil-tanker fleet.
1969隼，我從美國(guó)海運(yùn)學(xué)院畢業(yè)了。我那有學(xué)識(shí)的爸爸十分高興，因?yàn)榧又輼?biāo)準(zhǔn)石油公司錄用我為它的油輪隊(duì)工作。
I had a great career ahead of me, yet I resigned after six months with the company and joined the Marine Corps to learn how to fly. My educated dad was devastated. Rich dad congratulated me.
盡管我的未來(lái)前程遠(yuǎn)大，但我還是在6個(gè)月后辭職離開(kāi)了這家公司，加入海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊(duì)去學(xué)習(xí)飛行。對(duì)此我那有學(xué)識(shí)的爸爸非常傷心，而富爸爸則祝賀我做出的決定。
Job security meant everything to my educated dad. Learning meant everything to my rich dad Educated dad thought l went to school to learn to be a ship's officer. Rich dad knew that l went to school to study international trade.
耐于有學(xué)識(shí)的爸爸來(lái)說(shuō)，穩(wěn)定的工作就是一切。而對(duì)于富爸爸來(lái)說(shuō)，學(xué)習(xí)才是一切。有學(xué)識(shí)的爸爸以為我上學(xué)是為了做一名船長(zhǎng)，而富爸爸明白我上學(xué)是為了學(xué)習(xí)國(guó)際貿(mào)易。
So as a student,I made cargo runs, navigating6 large freighters, oil tankers and passenger ships to the Far East and the South Pacific.
因此,在做學(xué)生時(shí)，我跑過(guò)貨運(yùn)、為前往遠(yuǎn)東及南太平洋的大型貨輪、油輪和客輪導(dǎo)航。
While most of my classmates, including Mike, were partying at their fraternity houses,I was studying trade, people and cultures in Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Korea and the Philippines.I also was partying, but it was not in any frat house.I grew up rapidly.
當(dāng)我的大部分同班同學(xué)，包括邁克，在他們的聯(lián)誼會(huì)會(huì)堂舉辦晚會(huì)的時(shí)候，我正在日本、泰國(guó)、新加坡、中國(guó)香港、越南、韓國(guó)和菲律賓學(xué)習(xí)貿(mào)易、人際關(guān)系和文化。我也參加晚會(huì)，但不去任何聯(lián)誼會(huì)，我迅速地成熟起來(lái)了。
There is an old cliche that goes, "Job is an acronym for'Just Over Broke."' And unfortunately,1 would say that the saying applies to millions of people.
常言道，“工作(job)就是‘比破產(chǎn)強(qiáng)一點(diǎn)(Just Over Broke)’的縮寫(xiě)。然而不幸的是，這句話確實(shí)適用于千百萬(wàn)人，
Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers "live within their means."
因?yàn)閷W(xué)校沒(méi)有把財(cái)商看作是一種才智，大部分工人都“量入為出”：
They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn,more than what they will earn.
干活掙錢(qián)，支付賬單。相反，我勸告年輕人在尋找工作時(shí)要看看能從中學(xué)到什么，而不是只看能掙到多少。
Look down the road at what skills they want to acquire before choosing a specific profession and before getting trapped in the "Rat Racell".
在選擇某種特定職業(yè)之前或是陷入“老鼠賽跑(激烈的競(jìng)爭(zhēng))”之前，要好好掂量自己到底需要獲得什么技能。
Once people are trapped in the lifelong process of bill paying, they become like those little hamsters12 running around in those little metal wheels.
一旦人們?yōu)橹Ц顿~單而整天疲于奔命，就和那些在小鐵輪里不停奔跑轉(zhuǎn)圈的小老鼠一樣了。
Their little furry legs are spinning furiously, the wheel is turning furiously, but come tomorrow morning, they'II still be in the same cage: great job.
老鼠的小毛腿跑得飛快，小鐵輪也轉(zhuǎn)得飛快，可到了第二天早上，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己依然困在同一個(gè)老鼠籠里，那就是：重要的工作。
When I ask the classes I teach, "How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?"almost all the students raise their hands.
芻我在自己教授的班級(jí)上問(wèn)到“你們當(dāng)中有多少人做的漢堡包能比麥當(dāng)勞更好”時(shí)，幾乎所有的學(xué)生都舉起了手。
I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald's makes more money than you?"
我接著問(wèn)，“如果你們當(dāng)中大部分人都能做出比麥當(dāng)勞更好的漢堡包，那為什么麥當(dāng)勞比你們更能賺餞?”
The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems. The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems.
答案是顯而易見(jiàn)的`：麥當(dāng)勞擁有一套出色的運(yùn)營(yíng)體系。許多才華橫溢的人之所以貧窮的原因，就是因?yàn)樗麄冎皇菍?zhuān)心于做更好的漢堡包，而對(duì)運(yùn)營(yíng)體系幾乎一無(wú)所知。
The world is filled with talented poor people. All too often, they're poor or struggle financially or earn less than they are capable of, not because of what they know but because of what they do not know.
世界上到處都是有才華的窮人。在很多情況下，他們之所以貧窮、生活拮據(jù)或者收入與其能力不相符，不是因?yàn)樗麄兗褐臇|西而是因?yàn)樗麄兾粗臇|西。
They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.
他們只將注意力集中在提高和完善做漢堡包的技術(shù)上，卻不注意提高有關(guān)漢堡包的銷(xiāo)售和送貨技能。

Innovation in organizations
A convenient definition of innovation from an organizational perspective is given by Luecke and Katz (20xx), who wrote:
"Innovation . . . is generally understood as the successful introduction of a new thing or method . . . Innovation is the embodiment, combination, or synthesis of knowledge in original, relevant, valued new products, processes, or services.
Innovation typically involves creativity, but is not identical to it: innovation involves acting on the creative ideas to make some specific and tangible difference in the domain in which the innovation occurs. For example, Amabile et al (1996) propose:
"All innovation begins with creative ideas . . . We define innovation as the successful implementation of creative ideas within an organization. In this view, creativity by individuals and teams is a starting point for innovation; the first is necessary but not sufficient condition for the second".
For innovation to occur, something more than the generation of a creative idea or insight is required: the insight must be put into action to make a genuine difference, resulting for example in new or altered business processes within the organisation, or changes in the products and services provided.
A further characterization of innovation is as an organizational or management process. For example, Davila et al (20xx), write:
"Innovation, like many business functions, is a management process that requires specific tools, rules, and discipline."
From this point of view the emphasis is moved from the introduction of specific novel and useful ideas to the general organizational processes and procedures for generating, considering, and acting on such insights leading to significant organizational improvements in terms of improved or new business products, services, or internal processes.
Through these varieties of viewpoints, creativity is typically seen as the basis for innovation, and innovation as the successful implementation of creative ideas within an organization (c.f. Amabile et al 1996 p.1155). From this point of view, creativity may be displayed by individuals, but innovation occurs in the organizational context only.
It should be noted, however, that the term 'innovation' is used by many authors rather interchangeably with the term 'creativity' when discussing individual and organizational creative activity. As Davila et al (20xx) comment,
"Often, in common parlance, the words creativity and innovation are used interchangeably. They shouldn't be, because while creativity implies coming up with ideas, it's the "bringing ideas to life" . . . that makes innovation the distinct undertaking it is."
The distinctions between creativity and innovation discussed above are by no means fixed or universal in the innovation literature. They are however observed by a considerable number of scholars in innovation studies.

經(jīng)典勵(lì)志的英語(yǔ)文章篇一
Life throws a brick at your head放慢你的腳步
A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street， going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.
一位年輕的總裁，以有點(diǎn)快的車(chē)速，開(kāi)著他的新Jaguar經(jīng)過(guò)住宅區(qū)的巷道。他必須小心游戲中的孩子突然跑到路中央，所以當(dāng)他覺(jué)得小孩子快跑出來(lái)時(shí)，就要減慢車(chē)速。
As his car passed， one child appeared， and a brick smashed into the Jag's side door. He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown.
就在他的車(chē)經(jīng)過(guò)一群小朋友的'時(shí)候，一個(gè)小朋友丟了一塊磚頭打到了他的車(chē)門(mén)，他很生氣的踩了煞車(chē)并后退到磚頭丟出來(lái)的地方。
He jumped out of the car, grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a parked car， shouting， "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?"Building up a head of steam， he went on"That's a new car and that brick you threw is gonna cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"
他跳出車(chē)外，抓了那個(gè)小孩，把他頂在車(chē)門(mén)上說(shuō)：“你為什么這樣做，你知道你剛剛做了什么嗎?” 接著又吼道：“你知不知道你要賠多少錢(qián)來(lái)修理這臺(tái)新車(chē)，你到底為什么要這樣做?”
“Please， mister， please， I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do!”pleaded the youngster." It's my brother，" he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.
小孩子求著說(shuō)：“先生，對(duì)不起，我不知道我還能怎么辦?” 他接著說(shuō)：“因?yàn)槲腋绺鐝妮喴紊系粝聛?lái)，我沒(méi)辦法把他抬回去�！�
Sobbing， the boy asked the executive， "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
那男孩啜泣著說(shuō)：“你可以幫我把他抬回去嗎?他受傷了，而且他太重了我抱不動(dòng)�！�
Moved beyond words， the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts， checking to see that everything was going to be okay.
這些話讓這位年輕的總裁深受感動(dòng)，他抱起男孩受傷的哥哥，幫他坐回輪椅上。并拿出手帕擦拭他哥哥的傷口，以確定他哥哥沒(méi)有什么大問(wèn)題。
"Thank you， sir. And God bless you，" the grateful child said to him. The man then watched the little boy push his brother to the sidewalk toward their home.
那個(gè)小男孩感激地說(shuō)：“謝謝你，先生，上帝保佑你。” 然后他看著男孩推著他哥哥回去。
It was a long walk backs to his Jaguar... a long， slow walk. He never did repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention.
年輕總裁返回Jaguar的路變的很漫長(zhǎng)，他也沒(méi)有修他汽車(chē)的側(cè)門(mén)。他保留著車(chē)上的凹痕就是提醒自己。生活的道路不要走的太匆忙，否則需要其他人敲打自己來(lái)注意生活的真諦。
Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes,when you don't have the time to listen,it's your choice: Listen to the whispers of your soul or wait for the brick!
當(dāng)生命想與你的心靈竊竊私語(yǔ)時(shí)，若你沒(méi)有時(shí)間，你有兩種選擇：傾聽(tīng)你心靈的聲音或讓磚頭來(lái)砸你!
Do you sometimes ignore loved ones because your life is too fast and busy leaving them to wonder whether you really love them?
請(qǐng)問(wèn)你是否曾因?yàn)樯钐�、太忙碌而忽略了你所�?ài)的人，然后讓他們開(kāi)始開(kāi)始懷疑起你是不是真的愛(ài)他們呢?

Free Minds and Hearts at Work自由思想與心靈的作用
At the beginning of the World Series of 1947, I experienced a completely new emotion, when the National Anthem was played.This time, I thought, it is being played for me, as much as for anyone else. This is organized major league baseball, and I am standing here with all the others; and everything that takes place includes me.
1947年的世界職業(yè)棒球大賽開(kāi)賽那天，當(dāng)美國(guó)國(guó)歌奏響的那一刻，我產(chǎn)生了一種全新的情感。這一次，國(guó)歌是為我而奏，就像為其他人奏一樣。我終于能和其他人一樣，站在職業(yè)棒球大聯(lián)盟球賽的賽場(chǎng)上，成為這一切的一部分。
About a year later, I went to Atlanta, Georgia, to play in an exhibition game. On the field, for the first time in Atlanta, there were Negroes and whites. Other Negroes, besides me. And I thought: What I have always believed has come to be.
大約一年以后，我參加了在喬治亞州首府亞特蘭大舉辦的一次棒球表演賽。這是亞特蘭大的賽場(chǎng)上第一次同時(shí)出現(xiàn)白人和黑人運(yùn)動(dòng)員。除我之外，還有其他黑人選手。那一刻，我一直堅(jiān)守的信念終于實(shí)現(xiàn)了。
And what is it that I have always believed? First, that imperfections are human. But that wherever human beings were given room to breathe and time to think, those imperfections would disappear, no matter how slowly. I do not believe that we have found or even approached perfection. That is not necessarily in the scheme of human events. Handicaps, stumbling blocks, prejudices — all of these are imperfect. Yet, they have to be reckoned with because they are in the scheme of human events.
我一直堅(jiān)守的信念是什么呢?首先，我知道人類(lèi)不可避免會(huì)有缺陷。但只要人類(lèi)有一息尚存，只要人類(lèi)還能思考，這些缺陷一定會(huì)逐漸消失，無(wú)論過(guò)程會(huì)多么漫長(zhǎng)。我 并不認(rèn)為我們已經(jīng)到達(dá)或正在接近完美無(wú)缺的境界。完美無(wú)缺的境界并非人類(lèi)社會(huì)不可或缺的一部分。有些缺陷，例如殘疾、障礙和偏見(jiàn)，在人類(lèi)社會(huì)中都存在，也 就需要我們勇敢地去面對(duì)。
Whatever obstacles I found made me fight all the harder. But it would have been impossible for me to fight at all, except that I was sustained by the personal and deep-rooted belief that my fight had a chance. It had a chance because it took place in a free society. Not once was I forced to face and fight an immovable object. Not once was the situation so cast-iron rigid that I had no chance at all. Free minds and human hearts were at work all around me; and so there was the probability of improvement. I look at my children now, and know that I must still prepare them to meet obstacles and prejudices.
我一路上遇到的阻礙都促使我更加努力地去抗?fàn)�、去奮斗。然而，如果不是我內(nèi)心深處堅(jiān)信我的奮斗有希望，我就根本無(wú)法堅(jiān)持。我的奮斗有希望，因?yàn)檫@是一個(gè)自 由的社會(huì)。在這里，我不止一次遇到過(guò)無(wú)法逾越的障礙，也不止一次經(jīng)歷過(guò)令人絕望的境況。但那時(shí)，思想與心靈的自由便能起作用，讓我擺脫困境。如今我看著自 己的`孩子們，我知道我仍需要他們準(zhǔn)備面對(duì)困難與歧視。
But I can tell them, too, that they will never face some of these prejudices because other people have gone before them. And to myself I can say that, because progress is unalterable, many of today's dogmas will have vanished by the time they grow into adults. I can say to my children: There is a chance for you. No guarantee, but a chance.And this chance has come to be, because there is nothing static with free people. There is no Middle Ages logic so strong that it can stop the human tide from flowing forward. I do not believe that every person, in every walk of life, can succeed in spite of any handicap. That would be perfection. But I do believe — and with every fiber in me — that what I was able to attain came to be because we put behind us (no matter how slowly) the dogmas of the past: to discover the truth of today; and perhaps find the greatness of tomorrow.
然而，我可以告訴他們，正因?yàn)榍叭说呐^斗，他們今后不必再經(jīng)受我們現(xiàn)在承受的某些偏見(jiàn)。我也告訴自己，社會(huì)進(jìn)步是必然的，當(dāng)我的孩子們長(zhǎng)大成人時(shí)，現(xiàn) 在社會(huì)上的許多教條一定會(huì)消失。因此，我可以告訴我的孩子們：你們有希望——我不敢保證什么，但肯定有希望。有自由思想的人決不會(huì)停滯不前，所以你們有希 望。再也沒(méi)有中世紀(jì)強(qiáng)大荒謬的邏輯能阻擋人類(lèi)歷史的潮流滾滾向前。我并不認(rèn)為從事任何職業(yè)的任何人都能排除一切障礙獲得成功——這樣的完美不現(xiàn)實(shí)。但我的 確有一條堅(jiān)定不疑的信念——我現(xiàn)在所做到的一切是因?yàn)槲覀兡軌驋侀_(kāi)從前的教條(無(wú)論多么緩慢)，能探尋當(dāng)下的真理，也許還能發(fā)現(xiàn)未來(lái)的美好。
I believe in the human race. I believe in the warm heart. I believe in man's integrity. I believe in the goodness of a free society. And I believe that the society can remain good only as long as we are willing to fight for it — and to fight against whatever imperfections may exist.My fight was against the barriers that kept Negroes out of baseball. This was the area where I found imperfection, and where I was best able to fight. And I fought because I knew it was not doomed to be a losing fight. It couldn't be a losing fight-not when it took place in a free society. And in the largest sense, I believe that what I did was done for me — that it was my faith in God that sustained me in my fight. And that what was done for me must and will be done for others.
我相信人類(lèi)。我相信熱誠(chéng)的心。我相信人們的正直與誠(chéng)實(shí)。我相信自由社會(huì)中的美德。我相信只要我們?cè)敢鉃橹畩^斗，愿意與所存在的缺陷抗?fàn)幍降�，這個(gè)社會(huì)就能永遠(yuǎn)美好。棒球比賽將黑人拒之門(mén)外就是人類(lèi)社會(huì)的一種缺陷。既然我有這個(gè)能力，我就要和這種現(xiàn)象抗?fàn)幍降�。我抗�(fàn)帲驗(yàn)槲抑肋@場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)斗并非注定以失敗告終。這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)斗不會(huì)失敗——在一個(gè)自由社會(huì)中這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)斗不可能失敗。大而言之，我所做到的一切都市上蒼的眷顧——正是我對(duì)上帝的信仰支撐著我，給我抗?fàn)幍挠職狻Ｎ蚁嘈疟痪祛櫟牟粌H僅是我一個(gè)人，而應(yīng)是、也將是我們所有人。

If you called just one additional customer each day, over the course of the next month you would talk to about 20 new people. If you learned just one more new word each day, in the next year you would increase your vocabulary by more than 300 words.
Small improvements can add up over time into big accomplishments. Look around you. Consider the work you do each day. Think about how you could do it just a little bit better.
In a marathon race, each step the winner takes is just a little bit longer and a little bit faster than each stride taken by the 100th place finisher. Yet over the course of the race, that small difference adds up in a big way.
Do just a little bit more today, and tomorrow too, and each day after that. Anyone can make just a small improvement, and that can make a big, big difference.
You are Absolutely Unique
Enjoy that uniquenesss1. You do not have to pretend in order to seem more like someone else. You do not have to lie to hide the parts of you that are not like what you see in anyone else.
You were meant to be different. Nowhere, in all of history, will the same things be going on in anyone’s mind, soul and spirit as are going on in yours right now.
If you did not exist, there would be a hole in creation, a gap2 in history, and something missing from the plan for humankind. Treasure your uniqueness. It is a gift given only to you. Enjoy it and share it!
No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can. No one can speak your words. No one can convey your meanings. No one can comfort others with your kind of comfort. No one can bring your kind of understanding to another person. No one can be cheerful and light-hearted3 and joyous4 in your way. No one can smile your smile. No one else can bring the whole unique impact of you to another human being.
Share your uniqueness. Let it flow out freely among your family and friends, and the people you meet in the rush and clutter of living, wherever you are. That gift of yourself was given to you to enjoy and share. Give yourself away!
See it! Receive it!
Let it inform you, move you and inspire you!
You are unique!

如果不是眼角的血絲出賣(mài)身體的疲態(tài)，任誰(shuí)也不會(huì)料想：在鏡頭面前侃侃而談的周思成，清晨六點(diǎn)就已經(jīng)起床，趕早班機(jī)前往上海，在享受了一頓美味的上海本幫菜后，便馬不停蹄地趕到滬江總部。
有別于一貫的禮帽造型，當(dāng)日的周思成將頭發(fā)吹得格外蓬松，擦了粉底的臉白凈通透，嘴唇也泛著微微的紅，顯然他早已為上鏡做足了準(zhǔn)備。
在冷風(fēng)乍起的上海，他依舊習(xí)慣喝冰冷的咖啡；在布景之時(shí)，他饒有興致地跟工作人員聊著北京的哥和上海的哥的不同，長(zhǎng)沙與上海的天氣變化以及瑣碎的工作和生活。自詡為“新東方第一名師”的他，少了很多名人的做派和架勢(shì)。
沒(méi)有提前對(duì)稿，沒(méi)有經(jīng)紀(jì)人在旁推三阻四，也沒(méi)有助理幫忙提包端茶送水，單打獨(dú)斗的周思成很快進(jìn)入了采訪狀態(tài)，在他看來(lái)，這些對(duì)于流程的熟稔大多得益于鎂光燈的不時(shí)眷顧。
20xx年的那期名為“史上最牛英語(yǔ)老師”的《快樂(lè)大本營(yíng)》，讓跳著“艷舞”的周思成一夜爆紅：鎂光燈下的他習(xí)慣拿自己的“自戀”開(kāi)涮，在舞臺(tái)上毫不客氣地與謝娜掐架，這些無(wú)一例外地讓這個(gè)被冠以男版“芙蓉姐姐”稱(chēng)號(hào)的老師名聲大噪。
四年的時(shí)間，他六次登上快樂(lè)大本營(yíng)的舞臺(tái)，與黃曉明、蔡依林互飆英語(yǔ)，閑不下來(lái)的他也成為許多電視節(jié)目的常客。他不喜歡炒作，也不喜歡包裝，之所以游離于三尺講臺(tái)之外，用他自己的話說(shuō)：“老師是個(gè)特別單純的職業(yè)，其實(shí)老師做久了以后跟社會(huì)上的人比智商是很低的，因?yàn)槟忝刻烀鎸?duì)的都是學(xué)生，你知道的又比他們多，你又要不停地重復(fù)，你就是個(gè)孩子王而已，而你對(duì)于處理事情、安排事務(wù)，其實(shí)不如公司里面的人。”
蔡依林腳踩高跟鞋一站就是五個(gè)鐘頭，周思成說(shuō)“她那么努力，我憑什么不努力”；何老師錄完節(jié)目還請(qǐng)嘉賓們吃飯，親和得讓原本不太理人的周思成，都忍不住改變自己。
他似乎特別善于博采眾長(zhǎng)，而集合到自己身上卻沒(méi)有過(guò)多的違和之感。所謂“缺什么補(bǔ)什么”，這種汲他人之所長(zhǎng)的本領(lǐng)，周思成自小就爛熟于胸。
我不是人妖，我就是妖
對(duì)于自己的農(nóng)村背景，周思成沒(méi)有絲毫隱諱。出生在湖南醴陵的他，童年雖清苦，卻不乏苦中作樂(lè)的心態(tài)。他曾經(jīng)在黑夜中點(diǎn)亮煤油燈，在蒸騰起的煙霧中把自己臆想成“白素貞”；也因?yàn)槿f(wàn)分期待傘花飄落的美景，而試圖在鞭炮中多塞幾把小降落傘，結(jié)果笨重地飛不起來(lái)。
在現(xiàn)在的周思成看來(lái)，這種原始的快樂(lè)依舊散發(fā)著土腥氣，而之所以如今的自己變得時(shí)尚新潮，跟父親當(dāng)年的“高瞻遠(yuǎn)矚”不無(wú)關(guān)系。在父親看來(lái)，徹底跟土氣告別的方式只有一種，就是努力接近一切跟洋氣有關(guān)的物件。在鋼琴，笛子，小提琴中，父子二人選擇了小提琴。上世紀(jì)九十年代，一把小提琴只要五十塊錢(qián)，而一堂課也只要八塊錢(qián)，能花費(fèi)相對(duì)較少的代價(jià)步入“洋氣”的殿堂，周思成滿心歡喜。
為了給小提琴找個(gè)搭調(diào)的伙伴，周思成又學(xué)起了拉丁舞，沒(méi)想到一學(xué)便“泥足深陷”，無(wú)法自拔。但當(dāng)他想敲開(kāi)北京舞蹈附中的大門(mén)，繼續(xù)“舞男”夢(mèng)想的時(shí)候，卻因?yàn)榻蹩量痰倪x材標(biāo)準(zhǔn)被拒之門(mén)外，“他們要求下半身要比上半身長(zhǎng)12.5厘米 但是我是長(zhǎng)10厘米�！�
2.5厘米的差距，斷送了周思成的“舞男夢(mèng)”。他只能悻悻地回到家鄉(xiāng)，抱著成為一名美聲歌唱家的殘念，做回一名普通的高中生。但命運(yùn)之神并沒(méi)有就此止步，高一那年的一次晚會(huì)上，周思成一個(gè)人組織排演了八個(gè)節(jié)目，超大的工作強(qiáng)度，每天聲嘶力竭地排練，使他得了嚴(yán)重的聲帶炎，手術(shù)之后他被告知三年都不能講話，唱美聲的夢(mèng)想隨之灰飛煙滅。
被打倒的周思成似乎習(xí)慣了命運(yùn)的捉弄，爬起來(lái)繼續(xù)把不能實(shí)現(xiàn)的夢(mèng)想轉(zhuǎn)化成平日的愛(ài)好。雖然嗓子不能發(fā)聲，但肢體依舊靈活，他參加了高中的舞蹈隊(duì)，卻因?yàn)閷W(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)好遭人排擠；他試圖與學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)好的同學(xué)為伍，卻反倒因?yàn)樘杼帽或?qū)逐。
從小到大，叫周思成“人妖”的人不計(jì)其數(shù)，但強(qiáng)大的詆毀鑄就了他刀槍不入的心臟，甚至不無(wú)自嘲地喊出“我不是人妖，我就是妖”的“豪言壯語(yǔ)”。
錯(cuò)過(guò)的人和事兒讓我很幸福
因?yàn)槭中g(shù)后需要注射抗生素的緣故，高中時(shí)的`周思成體重一下子飆到一百六十多斤，一個(gè)不會(huì)說(shuō)話的“土肥圓”，卻硬是當(dāng)上了學(xué)校的文藝部長(zhǎng)、報(bào)社總編、文學(xué)社長(zhǎng)，甚至廣播站長(zhǎng)。
他標(biāo)榜自己就是天才，因?yàn)樗偸歉鷦e人不一樣，到頭來(lái)卻總是很出彩，“我總覺(jué)得有人不喜歡你不重要，前提是你心中知道你想成為什么樣的人，以后別人會(huì)認(rèn)可你就好了�！�
身為鋒芒畢露的“風(fēng)云人物”，高中時(shí)的周思成并不為群體所接納，但高三某天的一個(gè)機(jī)緣巧合，卻為今天留下了一段愛(ài)恨交織的泛黃記憶。
一個(gè)長(zhǎng)相平、沒(méi)人愛(ài)的土胖娃兒，平生第一次被人牽起手，雖然只是用來(lái)搪塞別人的幌子，但是觸電的感覺(jué)卻足夠讓周思成無(wú)法自持，甚至說(shuō)出了“我牽著你的手就不想再放開(kāi)”的蜜語(yǔ)甜言。沒(méi)想到偶像劇般的假戲真做真的就此應(yīng)驗(yàn)，他們?cè)趶V場(chǎng)上用唇語(yǔ)交談，也曾許下“背你去爬岳麓山”的諾言�？墒朗伦冞w，考上湖南大學(xué)的周思成不得已與對(duì)方分手，失戀的苦痛讓他每次走進(jìn)岳麓山腳的湖大都心思郁結(jié)。
能讓自己不生氣的辦法只有一個(gè)：逃離校園。但對(duì)于依舊不能說(shuō)話的周思成來(lái)說(shuō)，校園外的一切都是那么可望而不可及，他本可以窩在宿舍睡懶覺(jué)、玩游戲、看大片，但為了早日擺脫周身的土氣，為了有朝一日可以穿上李維斯的牛仔褲，他義無(wú)返顧地投身“詞海”，將英語(yǔ)視為救贖的稻草，一天十三個(gè)小時(shí)的背誦近乎走火入魔。
但就是因?yàn)檫@一年的拼命，周思成擁有了旁人無(wú)法企及的詞匯儲(chǔ)備，這無(wú)疑是一個(gè)“變壓力為動(dòng)力，化腐朽為神奇”的成功范例。如若沒(méi)有當(dāng)初失戀的刺激，或許就沒(méi)有如今的“英語(yǔ)大王”，在他看來(lái)“不會(huì)有一件事或者一個(gè)人讓你幸福，反而那些錯(cuò)過(guò)的人和錯(cuò)過(guò)的事兒給的那些指引，讓你去找到正確的事兒和正確的人”。
擴(kuò)展：周思成勵(lì)志語(yǔ)錄
一、沒(méi)有什么東西可以讓你不幸，我們能做的就是通過(guò)自己的努力得到屬于自己的幸福；
二、只有經(jīng)歷更痛，就不會(huì)知道什么叫做痛了；
三、什么事都不可以中途放棄，黎明前都是最黑暗的時(shí)刻；
四、上帝為你關(guān)閉一扇窗時(shí)也必定會(huì)為你開(kāi)一扇。當(dāng)上帝沒(méi)有為你做成一件事情時(shí)你不要因此而沮喪，這是因?yàn)橛懈线m的事情在等著你。
五、我唯一能向你們炫耀的，就是我的勤奮。
六、孤獨(dú)是好的，在奮斗的過(guò)程中尤為重要，只有我們?nèi)淌芰藙e人負(fù)荷不了的孤獨(dú)，我們才能收獲別人無(wú)法企及的成功。
七、你們已經(jīng)聽(tīng)了七個(gè)半小時(shí)的英語(yǔ)，你看你們還是好好地啊，沒(méi)有什么問(wèn)題，就像我收了那位同學(xué)的手機(jī)，他現(xiàn)在大概已經(jīng)忘了自己有手機(jī)了吧。所以，重要的是你對(duì)自己行為的自控能力。
八、你們無(wú)聊的時(shí)候，就炫富消遣一下咯。

Types of innovation
Scholars have identified at a variety of classifications for types innovations. Here is an unordered ad-hoc list of examples:
Business model innovation
involves changing the way business is done in terms of capturing value .
Marketing innovation
is the development of new marketing methods with improvement in product design or packaging, product promotion or pricing.
Organizational innovation
involves the creation or alteration of business structures, practices, and models, and may therefore include process, marketing and business model innovation.
Process innovation
involves the implementation of a new or significantly improved production or delivery method.
Product innovation
involves the introduction of a new good or service that is new or substantially improved. This might include improvements in functional characteristics, technical abilities, ease of use, or any other dimension.
Service innovation
typically refers to service product innovation which might involve, compared to goods product innovation or process innovation, relatively less technological advance, being more interactive and information-intensive (though some service firms have major technology efforts - think of ATMs and banks, for instance. Service innovation may also involve novelty in the way in which services are produced (i.e. service process innovation), or in delivery of other aspects of the service - including creative content in the case of entertainment and cultural services.
Supply chain innovation
where innovations occur in the sourcing of input products from suppliers and the delivery of output products to customers
Substantial innovation
introduces a different product or service within the same line, such as the movement of a candle company into marketing the electric lightbulb.
Financial innovation
through which new financial services and products are developed, by combining basic financial attributes (ownership, risk-sharing, liquidity, credit) in progressive innovative ways, as well as reactive exploration of borders and strength of tax law. Through a cycle of development, directive compliance is being sharpened on opportunities, so new financial services and products are continuously shaped and progressed to be adopted. The dynamic spectrum of financial innovation, where business processes, services and products are adapted and improved so new valuable chains emerge, therefore may be seen to involve most of the above mentioned types of innovation.
Incremental innovations
is a step forward along a technology trajectory, or from the known to the unknown, with little uncertainty about outcomes and success and is generally minor improvements made by those working day to day with existing methods and technology (both process and product), responding to short term goals. Most innovations are incremental innovations. A value-added business process, this involves making minor changes over time to sustain the growth of a company without making sweeping changes to product lines, services, or markets in which competition currently exists.
Breakthrough, disruptive or radical innovation
involves launching an entirely novel product or service rather than providing improved products & services along the same lines as currently. The uncertainty of breakthrough innovations means that seldom do companies achieve their breakthrough goals this way, but those times that breakthrough innovation does work, the rewards can be tremendous. Involves larger leaps of understanding, perhaps demanding a new way of seeing the whole problem, probably taking a much larger risk than many people involved are happy about. There is often considerable uncertainty about future outcomes. There may be considerable opposition to the proposal and questions about the ethics, practicality or cost of the proposal may be raised. People may question if this is, or is not, an advancement of a technology or process. Radical innovation involves considerable change in basic technologies and methods, created by those working outside mainstream industry and outside existing paradigms. Sometimes it is very hard to draw a line between both.
New technological systems (systemic innovations)
that may give rise to new industrial sectors, and induce major change across several branches of the economy.
Social innovation
a number of different definitions, but predominantly refers to either innovations that aim to meet a societal need or the social processes used to develop an innovation

Our character, basically, is a composite of our habits. “Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny,” the maxim goes.
Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.
As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, “Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken.” I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I know habits can be learned and unlearned. But I also know it isn't a quick fix. It involves a process and a tremendous commitment.
Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were transfixed as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to earth. But to get there, those astronauts literally had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles.
Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull- more than most people realize or would admit. Breaking deeply imbedded habitual tendencies such as procrastination, impatience, criticalness, or selfishness that violate basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives. “Lift off” takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new dimension.
Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force, and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cohesiveness and order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.

Being Proactive Leads You to Success
Do you have the appreciation that you will ascend the summit of success, filling up with fight, and no saying renounce, when you aspire to bring out something extremely?
In fact, this is a category of effectiveness that is called“Being proactive”.I maintain that being proactive can enhance e person’s appetite to be successful. With the function of the appetite, whoever you are, the chance that you succeed will increase greatly. Thus, only when we are active in doing what we want to do will we gain success.
The reason why I say “Being proactive is able to assist us to tend towards success” is that being proactive plays a critical role in our daily life.
To be specific, initially, when faced with a gigantic challenge, like crossing a mountain, which you think you can’t overcome, you won’t or dare not do so. Actually you may overcome it assuming that you are proactive. Last year, I took part in an activity that aimed to raise money for a charity school. And there was a vacancy for a propaganda principal, which I thought suited everyone except me. As I hadn’t tasted the savor of being a leader, so I was extremely tense and afeard. At that time, it was being proactive that stimulated me to under take the responsibility. As a result, I overcame my terror.
Moreover, being proactive enables to deflate the distance between
those people who do well in life and us. With the help of being proactive, imperfect as we are, we also advance in our study. In some aspects, it is adequate. What I say above are that I digest from the activity. By taking such a meaningful activity, I am aware of what were real important and what we should do.
Eventually, sometimes we can benefit from being proactive. For example, at the very beginning of the activity, no one gave us donation and I was doubtful why we didn’t gain money. Then I found it was because our propaganda was too boring that people were not attracted by us. Hence I increased the interest of our methods. As was expected, the active way engendered a apparent effect. And we finished this activity propitiously and all of us were praised by the headmaster, what’s more, we reap the improvement of social practice ability. Therefore, whenever and wherever you meet the difficulty, please don’t lose your heart and make use of your being proactive to defeat what you face with.
The phenomenon that we are negative once in a while in study and life is of popularity, this is partly due to the fact that we use up our energy occasionally, but also because we don’t have Being proactive. Therefore, as Winston Churchill says--Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm. So we should attach importance to Being proactive and what we insist on all the doing things with Being proactive. Ultimately, we must find ourselves enjoying the
gratification of success. We heroes, start off!

“I dread to come to the end of the year,said a friend to me recently, ”it makes me realize I am growing old.“
William James, the great psychologist, said that most men are ”old fogies at twenty-fiveHe was right. Most men at twenty-five are satisfied with their jobs. They have accumulated the little stock of prejudices that they call their “Principles, ” and closed their minds to all new ideas; they have ceased to grow.
The minutea man ceases to grow-no matter what his years-that minute he begins to be old. On the other hand, the really great man never grows old.
Goethe passed out at eighty-three, and finished his Faust only a few years earlier; Gladstone took up a new language when he was seventy. Laplace, the astronomer, was still at work when death caught up with him at seventy-eight. He died crying, “What we know is nothing; what we do not know is immense.”
And there you have the real answer to the question, “When is a man old?”
Laplace at seventy-eight died young. He was still unsatisfied, still sure that he had a lot to learn.
As long as a man can keep himself in that attitude of mind, as long as he can look back on every year and say , “I grew,” he is still young.
The minute he ceases to grow, the minute he says to himself, “I know all that I need to know,”--that day youth stops. He may be twenty-five or seventy-five, it makes no difference. On that day he begins to be old.
“我害怕鄰近歲末年尾”，一位友人最近對(duì)我說(shuō)：“它使我意識(shí)到我正在變老�！�
巨大的心理學(xué)家威廉？詹姆斯就曾說(shuō)過(guò)，大多數(shù)人“25歲時(shí)就成了保守掉隊(duì)者”。他的話是對(duì)的。大多數(shù)人25歲時(shí)就知足于他們的工作。他們已經(jīng)積聚了一些他們稱(chēng)之為“準(zhǔn)則”的成見(jiàn)，對(duì)所有新的思維封閉心靈之門(mén)；他們已經(jīng)停止成長(zhǎng)。
一個(gè)人一旦停滯成長(zhǎng)--不論他年紀(jì)多大--他就開(kāi)始朽邁。反之，真正的`巨人素來(lái)不會(huì)衰老。

“一個(gè)人何時(shí)變老？”，從這類(lèi)事例中對(duì)這個(gè)問(wèn)題你已經(jīng)有了真正的謎底。
拉普拉斯78歲逝世時(shí)依然年輕。他照舊不滿意，仍舊覺(jué)得很多貨色要學(xué)。
一個(gè)人，只有他可以堅(jiān)持這種心態(tài)，只要他在回想從前的一年時(shí)可能說(shuō)“我在成長(zhǎng)”，他就仍然年青。
他一旦結(jié)束成長(zhǎng)，他一旦對(duì)本人說(shuō)“我該懂的都懂了”，這個(gè)時(shí)候他的青春也就完了。他可能在25歲時(shí)死去，也可能在75歲時(shí)逝世去，這都不差別。就在那一天，他開(kāi)端變老。

Innovation
The term innovation may refer to both radical and incremental changes in thinking, in things, in processes or in services (Mckeown, 20xx) Invention that gets out in to the world is innovation. In many fields, something new must be substantially different to be innovative, not an insignificant change, e.g., in the arts, economics, business and government policy. In economics the change must increase value, customer value, or producer value. The goal of innovation is positive change, to make someone or something better. Innovation leading to increased productivity is the fundamental source of increasing wealth in an economy.
Innovation is an important topic in the study of economics, business, technology, sociology, and engineering. Colloquially, the word "innovation" is often used as synonymous with the output of the process. Since innovation is also considered a major driver of the economy, the factors that lead to innovation are also considered to be critical to policy makers.

it is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. many of the leading businessmen of pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. they were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. i notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices, and our young men unfortunately miss that salutary branch of business education. but if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. the other day a fond fashionable mother in michigan asked a young man whether he had ever seen a lady sweep in a room so grandly as her priscilla. he said no, he never had ,and the mother was gratified beyond measure, but then said he ,after a pause, “what i should like to see her do is sweep out a room” it does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. i was one of those sweepers myself.
assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is “aim high”. i would not give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm. do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk, or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive. say to yourself ，“my place is at the top.” be king in your dreams.
and here is the prime condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it.
the concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also. they have investments in this, or that, or the other, here there, and everywhere. “don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” is all wrong. i tell you to “put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.” look round you and take notice, men who do that not often fail. it is easy to watch and carry the one basket. it is trying to carry too many baskets，which break most eggs in this country. he who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tumble and trip him up. one fault of the american businessman is lack of concentration.
