妈妈今天发来短信问，听你爸说你今天又去北京，怎么样；北京那个号还用吗。我心里嘀咕，这个“听你爸说”的铺垫听起来奇怪的很。 多说几句之后解释说这次坐火车，她马上说：做火车好！……原来是担心飞机啊！怪不得每次出差时她们的短信都跟的紧，原来如此。

冯小刚的一句“二十一世纪最缺的是什么？是人才～”，立即把这句至理名言从神圣的祭坛上拉了下来，这个观点甚至似乎可以被人们玩弄和耻笑。但优秀的事业家们心里都清楚的很：人才要么是第一要务，要么是并列第一要务——这是永远神圣的。 上半年好事者又把Steve Jobs和Bill Gates找到一起聊天，让我深深刻在脑子里的，是当Steve评价Bill的成绩的时候，四句话里有两句表达了一个意思，Bill让最优秀的人为微软工作，原文是这样的：And I think building a company’s really hard, and it requires your greatest persuasive abilities to hire the best people you can and keep them at your company and keep them working, doing the best work of their lives, hopefully. And Bill’s been able to stay with it for all these years. 我看到了三个词组，the best, the best of their live, stay with it 回想起某篇剖析微软的文章，里面有段大意是微软有着世界上最优秀的高管团队，每个人都是顶级风投想挖过去做CEO的人选；回想起Jobs在苹果九岁、自己二十八岁那年绞尽了脑汁想出了那个“卖糖水”激将法，挖来了市场大师Sculley；回想起俞敏洪给第一次在新东方教课的胡敏用麻袋送去工资；还包括回想起一个百度实习生工作工作半年获得3000原始股、一个贫嘴主持人在直接空降百度任高级副总裁；甚至回想起曹操的一辈子求贤若渴和刘备的三顾茅庐。也许我们不同意百度对待用户和真相的价值观，不同意曹操刘备封建帝制的思想，但不得不同意这些所谓“成功”的人在身边聚集人才的欲望和力量！ 李开复曾经说过，微软成功最大的秘密是Bill本人。我想他的意思不是李开复这些人是非关键性因素，而是，正是因为Bill才有了这么多优秀的人才奋斗在微软，所以Bill才是最大的秘密吧。

读了篇文章，余华的我们生活在巨大的差距里。 其实我们几乎总自然的在走向某个极端。是不是中国这部沉重大车的高速发展的路上的这些种种问题也可以用老夫子这个最基本的思想解释一下？如果是，也难怪孔夫子要追求中庸了。 不光中国的先哲懂中庸，西方恐怕也懂，因为“制衡”的结果就是一种中庸之道。

“Our empirical model indicates that entrepreneurs who succeeded in a prior venture (i.e., started a company that went public) have a 30% chance of succeeding in their next venture. By contrast, first-time entrepreneurs have only an 18% chance of succeeding and entrepreneurs who previously failed have a 20% chance of succeeding.” 1) It Prepares You for How Much Work Is Involved “Before you get profitable and establish yourself, you’re basically walking dead and you have to realize it’s more of a marathon than a sprint.” 2) It’ll Teach You What to Look for in a Cofounder “Fights between founders are surprisingly common. About 20% of the startups we’ve funded have had a founder leave. It happens so often that we’ve reversed our attitude to vesting.” 3) It’ll Show You How Flexible Your Ideas Need to Be “Dogged determinedness will likely keep you from building the business that you could have built.” 4) It’ll Teach You the Importance of Passion “I won’t get into ...

What more can we do？Here’s how： Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL)。 把一般的白炽灯泡取下，换上小型化荧光灯(大陆称“紧凑型节能灯”) 。 CFLs use 60% less energy than a regular bulb.This simple switch will save about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year。 小型化荧光灯比起白炽灯泡更能节省百分之六十的耗电量，而这样简单的更换举动一年可省下三百磅的二氧化碳的消耗量。 Move your thermostat down 2°in winter and up 2°in summer。 冬天时把你的温度调节器调降两度，夏天则升两度。 Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditioner。清洗或换掉暖炉及冷气机的空气滤清器。 Cleaning a dirty air filter can save 350 pounds of carbon dioxide a year。 清理肮脏的空气滤清器一年可以省下三百五十磅的二氧化碳。 Install a programmable thermostat。 安装可编排程序的调温器。 Choose energy efficient appliances when making new purchases。 当购买新产品时，买最节省能源的。 You'll save 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple action。You can save another 550 pounds per year by setting the thermostat no higher than 120 degrees Fahrenheit。 简单的动作一年就能省下一千磅的二氧化碳。你还可以把沸腾后的温度设定成不超过华氏一百二十度(摄氏四十九度)，这样一年又能省下五百五十磅。 Use less ...
