Women make better business leaders than men in all but two areas of management, but men have the upper hand when it comes to focusing on the bottom line, according to an Australian survey released on Monday. Data collected from 1,800 Australian female and male chief executive officers and managers found women exhibit more strategic drive, risk taking, people skills and innovation, and equaled men in the area of emotional stability. But men came out on top when it came to command and control of management operations and focusing on financial returns. The survey, conducted for the Steps Leadership Program by employment consultancy firm Peter Berry Consultancy, found women were more likely to take a chance with their ideas and challenge the status quo. "Women are ambitious, bold, mischievous, colorful and imaginative. They are more confident, competitive, visionary and have a stronger presence," Gillian O'Mara, general manager of the Steps Leadership Program, said in a statement. But the survey found that men were more task focused and concentrated on getting the job done rather than dealing with relationships. "(Men believe that) that bottom line dollars are the only game in town. Their key motives and preferences in life appear to be around revenue, budgets and profit. At work and at home, they are driven by financial opportunities," said O'Mara. "Men are task focused and concentrate on getting the job done without bothering too much with relationships. They are more comfortable with hierarchies, title silos and processes." The results of the survey, which was based on an international research-based personality test called the Hogan Assessment System used by organizations to select employees, will be presented at a female leadership seminar in Sydney on May 14. 本周一公布的一项澳大利亚调查显示，除两个领域外，女性的领导能力都优于男性。不过，男性在抓问题关键方面还是要略胜一筹。 针对澳大利亚1800名男性和女性主管和经理的调查数据显示，女性管理者更具战略意识、冒险精神、人际交往能力和创新精神，但在情绪稳定方面与男性管理者差不多。 不过男性在管理工作的整体掌控及关注利益回报方面要强于女性。 该调查是由彼得?贝利就业咨询公司为"领导能力指南项目"开展的。调查发现，女性管理者比男性管理者更勇于尝试自己的想法或挑战现状。 "领导能力指南项目"主管吉里安?奥马拉说："女性有志向，她们大胆、淘气、有趣，富有想象力。与男性相比，她们更加自信、更喜欢竞争，爱幻想，表现能力也更强。" 但调查发现，与女性管理者相比，男性更关注工作本身，他们更专注于搞好工作而不是忙于处理各种关系。 奥马拉说："（在男性看来）他们唯一的游戏规则就是最终的利润。他们的人生动力和喜好似乎都与收益、预算和利润有关。无论在家还是工作，他们都在为赚钱而奋斗。" "此外，男性更关注工作本身，更专心于搞好工作而不是忙着处理各种复杂的人际关系。他们更能适应层级、头衔差别和升迁的过程。" 该调查是根据一项名叫"霍根评价体系"的国际研究型人格测试开展的，该评价体系常被各类组织用来挑选雇员。该调查结果将于5月14日在悉尼举行的女性领导能力研讨会上发表。

| 美文欣赏－珍惜现在 | |||
|
Often we're told that we have to suffer now - give up what we want - in order to succeed later, that in order to save we must sacrifice. Give up instant gratification to get delayed gratification. But you can do both. For years, I was confused about this, as I read books and websites that sent me two different messages: Pleasure later. The first message was that in order to be successful, in order to build wealth, you have to delay gratification. You can't have instant gratification and be successful. Pleasure now. The second message was usually from other sources on Happiness, but sometimes from the same source: enjoy life now, while you can, because it's short and you never know when your last day will come. Live every day like it's your last. Trouble is, I agree with both messages. And if you read this site often, you'll see that I send both messages: Live frugally and simply! But also enjoy life! That's because I've reconciled the two philosophies into one: Live life now and enjoy it to the fullest - without destroying your future. The key to doing that? Find ways to enjoy life completely, utterly, maximally … that don't cost your future very much. Here are some tips for actually living that philosophy: Find free or cheap pleasures. Frugality does not have to be boring or restrictive … if you use your imagination. Be creative and find ways to have fun - loads of it - without spending much money. Have a picnic at the park, go to the beach, do crafts, board games, fly a kite, make art, bake cookies … I could list a hundred things, and you could come up with a few hundred more. Make a list of simple pleasures, and enjoy them to the maximum. This is the key to the whole idea of enjoying life now without spending tomorrow's dollar. See Savor the Little Things . Make simplifying fun. I'm a big fan of simplifying my life, from decluttering to creating a simple lifestyle in every way. And to me, this is great fun. I get rid of stuff (and possibly make money selling it) and have a blast doing it. That's good math. Rediscover what's important. Oftentimes we spend tons of money, shopping, going out, watching movies, eating out … without really enjoying life. And when we stop to think about it, we never have time for the things we really want to do. Well, that's probably because your life is filled with things that aren't very important to you. Instead, step back and really think about what's important to you. Then get rid of the other (expensive) stuff, and focus on what's important. Listen to some stuff on my list: my wife and kids, other friends and family, reading, writing, exercising, volunteering, spending quiet time in contemplation. Guess how many of those things cost a lot of money? Read more here . Make people a priority. This is related to the above point, but I thought I'd give it a little more emphasis. If you give "stuff" a priority - stuff like gadgets, nice furnishings, nice clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc. - then you will spend a lot of money. But if you make people a priority - the people you love most, you close friends and family - you don't need to spend a dime to enjoy life. Make some time to visit with friends, or your parents … and have a conversation with them that doesn't involve eating out or going to the movies. Just sit, have some iced tea or hot cocoa (depending on the weather), and talk. Tell jokes and laugh your heads off. Talk about books you've read, movies you've watched, new things going on in your life, your hopes and dreams. And make time for your kids or your significant other - really spend time with them, doing things that don't cost money. (See Spend Time with Family and Loved Ones , 100 Ways to Have Fun With Your Kids and 50 Ways to Be Romantic on the Cheap .) Find time for yourself. Make time every day, and every week, to spend time alone. It really gives more meaning and enjoyment to your life, rather than rushing through life with no time to think, to breathe. For ideas on how to make this time, see these ways to create time for solitude . Sometimes, splurge. You shouldn't restrict yourself from expensive pleasures all the time - it's not good to develop the feeling of deprivation. To prevent that, once in awhile, buy yourself something … or better yet, give yourself a decadent treat. I love things with dark chocolate or berries. Crepes with ice cream and berries are one of my favorites. Just don't go overboard … and learn to enjoy the splurge to the fullest. If you truly take the time to enjoy a treat, you don't need a lot of it. Track your successes. It doesn't really matter how you track your success … you can use gold stars for creating a new simplifying or frugalfying habit, or a spreadsheet chart to track your decreasing debt and increasing savings or investments. Tracking is a great way to not only provide motivation, but make the process of changing fun. Reward yourself. And in order to make it more fun, celebrate every little success! Set rewards for yourself (hopefully not too expensive!) along your path to success - celebrate one day, two days, three days, a week, two weeks, three, a month … you get the idea. Volunteer. One of the most rewarding things for my family has been when we have managed to volunteer. It's actually something we only started doing last year, but since then, we've done it a bunch of times in a number of different ways. And while it doesn't cost a dime, it is tremendously satisfying in ways that money could never buy. Read more . Live in the moment. Learn to think not so much about the past or future, but about what you are going through right now. Be present. It may seem trite, but it's the key to enjoying life to the fullest - without having to spend money. Think about it - you can spend money on eating out, but if you are not really thinking about what you're eating, you may not enjoy it much at all. But if you cook a simple but delicious meal, and really taste every bite, it can be tremendously enjoyable without costing a lot. Read more . Slow down. In the same way, you can't really enjoy life to the fullest if it's rushing past you like it's on fast forward. Ever think about how quickly a week, a month, or a year goes by? Perhaps you're in the fast lane too much. Try slowing down, and things will be less stressful and more enjoyable. Drive slower , eat slower , live slower . Learn to find cheap, cool stuff. Call me crazy, but I love shopping at thrift stores. You can find so many cool things there, and it costs so little. Garage sales are the same way. Or check out Freecycle , or read 20 Ways to Find Free or Cheap Books . |
| 想笑就笑－Is he dead? | |||
|
A couple of rednecks are out in the woods hunting when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls 911. He gasps to the operator, "Bubba is dead! What can I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says, "OK, now what?"

| 双语故事-The Miser守财奴 | |||
|
A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it." 有个守财奴变卖了他所有的家产，换回了金块，并秘密地埋在一个地方。他每天走去看 看他的宝藏。有个在附近放羊的牧人留心观察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金块拿走了。 守财奴再来时，发现洞中的金块没有了，便捶胸痛哭。有个人见他如此悲痛，问明原因后， 说道："喂，朋友，别再难过了，那块金子虽是你买来的，但并不是你真正拥有的。去拿一 块石头来，代替金块放在洞里，只要你心里想着那是块金子，你就会很高兴。这样与你拥有 真正的金块效果没什么不同。依我之见，你拥有那金块时，也从没用过。" 这故事说明，一切财物如不使用等于没有。 |
| 英文歌曲－Heartbreaker 伤心人 | |||

Heartbreaker Dionne Warwick I got to say it and it's hard for me You got me crying like I thought I would never be Love is believing but you let me down How can I love you when you ain't around ? And I get to the morning and you never call Love should be everything or not at all And it don't matter whatever you do I made a life out of loving you Only to find any dream that I follow is dying I'm crying in the rain I could be searching my world for a love everlasting Feeling no pain, when will we meet again ? Why do you have to be a heartbreaker? Is it a lesson that I never knew ? Gotta get out of the spell that I'm under My love for you Why do you have to be a heartbreaker When I was being what you want me to be ? Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by This world may end, not you and I My love is stronger than the universe My soul is crying for you And that can not be reversed You made the rules and you could not see You made a life out of hurting me Out of my mind, I am held by the power of your love Tell me when do we try Or should we say goodbye ? *Why do you have to be a heartbreaker When I was being what you want me to be ? Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by Oh, why do you have to be a heartbreaker ? Is it a lesson that I never knew ? Suddenly everything I ever wanted My love for you (*)
伤心人 狄翁沃薇克 我不得不说，但是难以启口 你让我哭，我从来没有想过会那样 爱就是信任，但你让我失望了 当你不在身边，我要如何爱你？ 我捱到天亮，但你不曾打过电话 爱应该是一切或是一无所有 你做了什么并不重要 我创造了一个爱你的人生 只发现我所追寻的梦都已破灭 我在雨中哭泣 为了永恒的爱，在自己的世界中寻觅 没有苦痛，我俩何时能再见面？ 为何你要做个伤心人？ 那可是我未曾得到的教训？ 我必须摆脱被施的魔咒： 我对你的爱 为何你要做为伤心人？ 当我已成为你所想要的我 突然间，我想要的一切都从身边溜走 世界将灭，而非你我 我的爱比宇宙更坚强 我的灵魂为你而哭泣 那无法颠倒过来 你订下了规矩，你却看不见 你创造了一个伤害我的人生 在我心门外，我被你爱的力量把持着 告诉我何时可以试试看？ 还是我们应该说再见？ 为何你要做个伤心人？ 当我已成为你所想要的我 突然间，我想要的一切都从身边溜走 为何你要做个伤心人？ 那可是我未曾得到的教训？ 突然间，我想要的一切 我对你的爱 这是著名的比吉斯合唱团( Bee Gees )为狄翁沃薇克所写的歌，里面还可以听到该团三兄弟注册商标似的优美合声。 |

| 双语诗歌－我喜欢你是静静的 | |||

I Like For You To Be Still by Pablo Neruda I like for you to be still It is as though you are absent And you hear me from far away And my voice does not touch you It seems as though your eyes had flown away And it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth As all things are filled with my soul You emerge from the things Filled with my soul You are like my soul A butterfly of dream And you are like the word: Melancholy I like for you to be still And you seem far away It sounds as though you are lamenting A butterfly cooing like a dove And you hear me from far away And my voice does not reach you Let me come to be still in your silence And let me talk to you with your silence That is bright as a lamp Simple, as a ring You are like the night With its stillness and constellations Your silence is that of a star As remote and candid I like for you to be still It is as though you are absent Distant and full of sorrow So you would've died One word then, One smile is enough And I'm happy; Happy that it's not true 我喜欢你是静静的 仿佛你消失了一样 你从远处聆听我 我的声音却无法触及你 好像你的目光已经游离而去 如同一个吻，封缄了你的嘴 如同我积满一切的灵魂 而你从一切中出现 充盈了我的灵魂 你像我的灵魂 像一只梦想的蝴蝶 你如同"忧郁"这个词 我喜欢你是静静的 好像你已远去 你听起来像在悲叹 一只如鸽般细语的蝴蝶 你从远处聆听我 我的声音却无法触及你 让我在你的静谧中安静无声 并且让我籍着你的沉默与你说话 你的沉默亮若明灯，简单如环 你如黑夜，拥有寂静与群星 你像我的灵魂 像一只梦想的蝴蝶 我喜欢你是静静的 仿佛你消失了一样 远隔千里，满怀哀恸 仿佛你已不在人世 彼时，一个字，一个微笑，就已足够 而我会感到幸福 因那不是真的而感到幸福 |
| 英文演讲－President's Radio Address | |||
|
THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Congress will soon vote on legislation to fund our troops serving on the front lines of the war on terror. This is an opportunity for Congress to give our men and women in uniform the tools they need to protect us, and Congress should approve these vital funds immediately. Congress has had this funding request for more than a year, and there is no reason for further delay. This money is urgently needed to support military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. I put forward some reasonable requirements this bill must meet. First, this bill must give our troops the resources they need to defeat the terrorists and extremists. Second, the bill must not tie the hands of our commanders. Third, the bill must not exceed the reasonable and responsible funding levels I have requested. Congress has had 16 months to decide how they will meet these requirements, and now the time has come for them to support our troops in harm's way. If Congress does not act, critical accounts at the Department of Defense will soon run dry. At the beginning of next month, civilian employees may face temporary layoffs. The department will have to close down a vital program that is getting potential insurgents off the streets and into jobs. The Pentagon will run out of money it needs to support critical day-to-day operations that help keep our Nation safe. And after July, the department will no longer be able to pay our troops -- including those serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. Our men and women in uniform and their families deserve better than this. Around the world, our troops are taking on dangerous missions with skill and determination. In Afghanistan, they are delivering blows to the Taliban and al Qaeda. In Iraq, they've helped bring violence down to its lowest point since late March of 2004. Civilian deaths are down. Sectarian killings are down. As security has improved, the economy has improved as well, and political reconciliation is taking place at the grassroots and national levels. The Iraqi security forces are becoming more capable, and as they do, our troops are beginning to come home under a policy of return on success. Each day, the men and women of our Armed Forces risk their lives to make sure their fellow citizens are safer. They serve with courage and honor. They've earned the respect of all Americans. And they deserve the full support of Congress. I often hear members of Congress say they oppose the war, but still support the troops. Now they have a chance to prove it. Congress should pass a responsible funding bill that gives our men and women in uniform the resources they need -- and the support they have earned. Thank you for listening. END |
