• 她说虽然身边的朋友都很成功,但是他们并非都很快乐,其实金钱不是唯一的标准,我们应当去留心自己爱做什么,能做什么,留心什么能带给自己和身边的朋友快乐,留心什么能带给自己平静。她说她身边的那些朋友都很忙,平常联系的比较少,但是这个岗位能让她见到他们,虽说时间很短,而且往往都只能是在Check In 柜台或登机口,但是我的朋友们高兴啊,因为他们可以很清楚的知道我会在那里等他们,送他们登机远行。她说我的这些个朋友们有很多都坐我们港龙的飞机,有的是之前认识的,但绝大多数是我在港龙期间认识的,一晃就是20年.......

    Working culture message from the Chief Executive
    Posted On: 14 Apr 2011

    Dear CX Colleagues,

    Fairly early in my career in the Swire Group as I was entering a new position in a new business, I realised that my new team was likely to wonder what I was like and how I wanted things to work in the department.  

    It is completely natural that they would wonder about this and normal that there would be a period of several months where they observed me and tried to figure out how they should work with me.  

    On thinking about it, I decided that this was really a waste of time and that the best thing would be for me to have a discussion with them straight away how I thought we ought to work together, so I sat down and wrote down the first version of my working culture guidelines.

    As my career developed, I learned many things.  One of the most important things is that working culture – how we all work together – has a great deal to do with whether we are successful as a team and, perhaps even more importantly, that it also has a great impact on how we feel about their jobs and our work life in the office, where we all spend a great deal of our time.

    Since that time, it has become a tradition for me, every time I take up a new job, to reflect on what I learned in the last job and to have a relook at my working culture guidelines and to update them.  

    And then, as I first did many years ago, to send them out to my team so that they can be clear on how I would like the company to work together.  I have already shared these with the Directors and General Managers, and I would now like to share them with you.

    I am always open to feedback and if you have a good idea on how they might be made better and how we can work together more effectively, send me a note!  I would appreciate if you would have a read and think about how they can guide how we work in Cathay Pacific.  As I said above, how we work together well – getting our working culture right – is an important part of what we can do to be successful.

    With that said, here they are:

    a.    Teamwork before all else.  NO POLITICS!  We are all on the same team; we succeed or fail as a team.

    b.    The most important investments we make are investments in our people.  Invest your time, your energy and your enthusiasm in them.

    c.    The truth is always your friend.  The truth never stops being the truth just because we don’t like it.

     

  • 中国数千年的封建社会史,是一部家天下的历史。在这个漫长的历史中,统治者视国家为私有,也要求所有人都以国为家,为国尽忠,死而后已。在这部家天下的历史中,国家利益始终高高在上,民众利益则可随意践踏,任予任取。也许是由于历史的惯性,在封建社会结束后,这种国为重、民为轻的思维模式仍然长期占据着统治地位。

    十七届五中全会要求,“十二五”规划要坚持把保障和改善民生作为加快转变经济发展方式的根本出发点和落脚点;要促进社会公平正义,使城乡居民收入普遍较快增长,人民物质文化生活明显改善。以民生为本,以民众利益为出发点和最高目标,给广大人民群众带来实实在在的好处,五中全会的精神,标志着从我国“十二五”开始,中国历史将告别国强民弱、国富民穷的千年传统,走向一个民富民强的新时期、新天地,在民富的基础上实现国富。

  • LONDON (Reuters) – God did not create the universe and the "Big Bang" was an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics, the eminent British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking argues in a new book.

    In "The Grand Design," co-authored with U.S. physicist Leonard Mlodinow, Hawking says a new series of theories made a creator of the universe redundant, according to the Times newspaper which published extracts on Thursday.

  • One spring morning, 25 years ago this week, I presented myself for work for the first time at the Financial Times wearing a brand new, orange corduroy skirt and feeling sick with nerves.

    Today, as on most other mornings in the past quarter of a century, I will present myself again for work, though these days I no longer wear orange corduroy and no longer feel especially nervous. As on other mornings, I will take my place at my desk from which I report on the modern world of work, where no job is for life, all skills are portable and loyalty refers to a plastic card that you produce at the till at Tesco. In other words, it's a world in which I've become an anachronism.

    25年前4月的这一周,一个春天的早晨,我穿着崭新的橙黄 色灯心绒裙子,第一天到英国《金融时报》上班,整个人紧张兮兮的。

    今天,与过去四分之一世纪里的大多数早晨一样,我又要去上班了,虽然如今 我已不再穿橙黄色灯心绒衣服,也不会觉得特别紧张了。与其它早晨一样,我将坐在我的位置上,写写有关现代职场的报道。在当今职场上,没有什么工作是终身 的,所有技能都能随身带,而你只忠于在特易购(Tesco)收款台前亮出的那张塑料卡片。换句话说,在这个世界,我已经成了老古董。

     

     

     

  • Barcelona-born Inmaculada González Puy, 50, is director of Instituto Cervantes in Beijing. One of the foremost Spanish experts on Chinese art and culture, she moved to the country in 1979 to study the Chinese language before working for the Spanish embassy, where she stayed for two decades. In 2006 she became chief of the Spanish cultural centre. She lives with her husband outside the Chinese capital.

    My interest in China began in Spain a long time ago. I read stories about China by Pearl S Buck, books on Buddhism as well as those by the Beat generation, such as Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums, which were influenced by the east. All of them shaped my childhood.

     

  • 中国昨日处决了一名日本公民,这是几十年来的首次。日本政府担心此举可能加剧这两个是非不断的东亚大国之间的敌对,而中国政府对此置之不理。 中国对现年65岁的日本毒贩赤野光信(Mitsunobu Akano)执行死刑,并计划处决另外3名日本人,突显出中国政府在处理涉及外国公民的刑事案件中,越来越愿意无视国际舆论。

  • 1. 躺在你的腿上看电视,指手划脚地叫你给我拿吃的。  
    2. 制订两个人的管理条例,约定生气冷战可以,但是不许超过25秒。    
    3. 一起开车去一次很远的地方,手拉手的向路人问路,沿途拍下所有的美景。  
    4. 每个季节都买一套情侣装,每次出门两个人的衣服都要相配。  
    5. 永远都用相同款式不同颜色的牙刷、毛巾和杯子,只盖一床被子。  
    6. 每次单独出游都带给对方礼物,哪怕是一片树叶、一块石头。  
    7. 有空就一起亲手制作家里的摆设,把自己画的画挂在墙上。  
    8. 想抱抱的时候告诉你,一定要得到满足。  
    9. 每次你做饭我都吃得饶有兴致,然后主动要求洗碗,当然如果是我做饭你要表现得更加出色。  
    10. 主动替对方的家人考虑,说出对方想说又迟疑的话。

        1、说话要用脑子,敏于事,慎于言,话多无益。很多事成也是嘴,败也是嘴。平时一定要把好门,否则会给自己带来许多麻烦。讲话不要只顾一时痛快、信口开河,以为人家给你笑脸就是欣赏,没完没了的把掏心窝子的话都讲出来,结果让人家彻底摸清了家底。还得偷着笑你。

        2、遇事不要急于下结论。即便有了答案也要等等,也许有更好的解决方式,站在不同的角度...
