Yesterday was the feedback of the exam. Not surprised, my score was poor 85%.

I was certainly in a despondency bad mood. Just gave loose to myself in afternoon, playing PC games and not doing the homework for financial planning, another favor class to me.

It’s too unacceptable that I had planed to write a letter to Susan to ask for a chance. But I didn’t do that finally. Maybe do it in person would be more effective.

I was so upset, disappointed, angry with my self!

Today’s exam was so important that it was the decisive factor to determine whether I could join the honor program. To achieve the selection standard, I should get 93% in this exam.

It was not a easy job. I got up at 5am in early morning, starting doing the quizzes online to make the memory keep fresh. Also, I read the study guild again and again, then I perused the textbook several times.

During the exam, I did not feel the question too tough to accomplish. There were 55 questions in the exam with six questions which I was not certain  about. I thought in the best situation I could get half correct in those uncertain answers and another get one or two questions wrong in certain answers, that meant I might get 50 question right.  50/55 = 91% . It was not a bad score.

周六和Michelle他们去South SF打羽毛球,场馆虽然小点,但人出奇的少,1点多的时候,9个court只有我们在玩,包场了 o(∩_∩)o

三点多正好要走的时候,有一个可能是送孩子来学球的阿姨搂打,Vivi和Kristine勉为其难去了。那阿姨看起来有点料,可惜我已经换下运动服了,要不就和她过过招。

然后去附近吃了越南米粉,好大一碗,差点吃不完。

接着到Target买了Monopoly去Michelle家玩。有十多年没玩过了,好怀念。可惜Michelle突然有些事要处理,开始没多久就退出了,我们就剩四个人在乐此不彼地掷骰子,买房子,数票子~~

This afternoon, UIG had a speaker, Ted Janus, to give a speech.

I promised Susan I was going to this meeting, so I didn’t take a siesta and just went to there with drowsiness.

When Ted came in, a tall charming man stood in front of us, which made me refreshed.

He talked about half and an hour. I could remember something interesting and useful without taking notes. Those things are:

When attending an interview, there is a golden rule:

Be polite.

That means dressing up; never forget to say please and thank you; do research if you do interest in the job.

公司绝不会告诉你的50大秘密 – 1-10

秘密1 – 法律解救不了你

由于雇佣了诸多资深律师与顾问,大多数公司均找到了大量能够绕过员工“合法权利”的法律途径及灰色地带。

人力资源部的秘密职责之一就是在合法保护公司利益的前提下,清除丧失价值的员工。

清除一个人的最佳方式是逼迫他自己离开。

危险迹象

  1. 你的感受总是被忽视;经常加班,却一直无法获得应有的报酬;或是一直处于失败状态
  2. 你的老板看上去并不喜欢你;或者并不像注意其他员工一般关注你
  3. 你的办公位置搬至相对较差的位置;或是老板经常分配给你一些别人不愿做的任务
  4. 在特定期限内分配给你根本无法完成的任务
  5. 老板对于你的表现评价严厉得令你感到震惊
  6. 公司派遣一个人“帮助你”进行工作,同时发现他所承担的工作及职位与你极其相似
  7. 公司经常将你轮换于不同部门之间,以至于你一事无成

将非法问题“合法化”、绩效改善的秘密

 

秘密2 – “解雇”不会直接告知于你

秘密3 – 为何无人告诉你,你的工作处于危险之中

秘密4 – 按照公司所言而行事非常危险

公司真正的幕后动机是什么?

每家公司都有自己独特的价值体系与幕后动机等待你去发现,但以下几项动机则为所有公司共有。我们要时刻提醒自己永远清醒地站在真实规则的那一方。

动机一:保护机密

“保护机密”这一核心价值远重要于其他任何问题。

动机二:公司的金钱

如果公司感觉你在金钱问题上将自己置于公司之上,那么,你该卷铺盖走人了。

动机三:公开支持

紧密支持政策、跟随主导方向,不能唱反调。

动机四:保持市场领先地位

有危机感的人。

动机五:成功者的形象

公司对于员工悲观及消极态度的恐惧远比其他行为更甚,也绝不能容忍出现这种状况,因为它会毁掉公司精心维护的成功氛围。

 

任何一个人都可以去学习工作技能。公司需要的绝不仅仅是技术人才,他们所要寻找的是看上去能够全心全意维护公司利益的人。而其唯一的判断标准就是你的外在举动–正常行为。

公司重要决策者通常信赖那此与公司利益保持一致的人。如果公司将一切秘密开诚布公地告知于众人,它又怎样去区分那些人天生就拥护公司利益,哪些人只是利用这一消息为他们自己的升迁开路呢?公司一直在子找那些能够真正理解企业管理者的员工,而不是仅仅将公司当做个人成功垫脚石的人。

秘密五 – 技能与才干帮不了你

即使你在公司中属于技术尖兵,但是若得不到上层信任.也会面临失业危脸.你的需求得不到满足.你同样会头投无路。信任基于公司对于你的理解。无论公司怎样评价你,理解才是决定你职位安全与否以及你是否具有价值的重要因素。

若要认清公司付自己的看法,你就必须懂得如何去发现其幕后动机。这涉及你对于公司的真正保护时象、奖赏.及价值持有怎样的认知,在形成正确认知的同时你亦可为自已竖起一面镜子。由此随时审视自己再工作场合中的行为。

在他人眼中你的行为与真实意图之间究竞是否存在差距?外界对于你的看法决定了你的职位安全系数。

车震?!

早上走去公车站等车,经过一个街口,一个临近大街的街口。我正在等信号灯通行过街,突然发现停在街口不远处的一辆黑色Lexus震动了起来。大奇,心想难不成鬼佬开放到大白天都会玩车震?

就低调地往车内看了一下,谁知道空无一人,难道已经完全趴在座椅上?来不及细想,信号灯已经转绿。我又不是那种不八卦就会死的人,所以就继续雄赳赳气昂昂地过了马路。到了对面,还是忍不住回头看看。

原来,原来···这回我看到了···原来那Lexus前面有辆Ford的truck被前后两车夹得紧紧的,为了出来,就只好前顶顶后拱拱把前后车挤开点,才能挪个位置好让自己拐出去。

呼~~原来如此,我又不纯洁了 ⊙﹏⊙b

小小春梦

做了一个小春梦,情节是纯洁滴,情感是真挚滴,情况却是无奈滴···

梦是关于一个我心里很喜欢的女生,场景发生在一栋办公楼里,先是在座位边,不记得前面有什么因由了,我对她说了一句:“喜欢不一定要说出来”,然后我就离开,去另一个房间,给同事还是客户什么的做演讲(好敬业的说)。

她突然冲进来,窜上讲台站在我身边,向观众大声说:“我现在有事情向大家宣布!”大家和我都被这突发的情况吓住了,不知道她要做什么,都在盯着她,盯着她···盯着她拿起我的手···摘下我的尾戒···戴到了她的无名指上!!!再摘下她的中戒戴到我的无名指上,然后十指紧扣高高地举起我的手,说“我们结婚了!”

哗!!!众人惊呼,掌声一片,我美得愣在原地又像腾云驾雾般高兴,心里想终于守得云开见月明,把我的小宝贝儿娶到手了,呵呵呵呵呵~~~

然后,我发现自己是笑着醒来的 ^o^

在现实情况里,我有可能等到这一天吗?

Midterm #2 for Bank operation

I spent two days to go over the text book. Besides the concepts in  terminology I did know the meaning actually, I found more problems. One was that my reading speed was too slow. I could just read one page for 5~10 minutes. That was horrible! How could I read such slow to finish my class and GMAT exam? That led to another problem. I even did not start the review for GMAT! OH, God bless me! I did want to do so. I should commence right now. The first thing I will go is to find the solution for boosting the reading speed.

大麻,大麻

早上坐49路车去上课,途中一站,有几个黑人青年上车,在车头和司机说了一阵,听不懂也听不清,但没过多久,就飘来一阵疑似大麻的味道。坐我前面的一个小男孩厌恶地皱起了眉头,盯着那几个人。

真邪了,昨天去找教师的时候,竟然也闻到了这股气味。当时教师还反应很大地推开窗户探出身体去找气味的来源。我当时说了一句:“I don’t know that, and I don’t want to try that”,不知道为什么会惹得她大笑。

听说美国的大麻很泛滥,多数美国青年都在高中的时候至少尝试过一次吸食。我不是好奇大麻有什么吸引力,而是奇怪最近加州还是哪个州,说要提案让大麻种植合法化。

美国的政治思想真不可理喻。
