I knew I loved you - Savage Garden



I knew I loved you


Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe...

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home

I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe...

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
(Repeat chorus 3x with chorus)

清华校长送给毕业生的五句话,值得一看

方向比努力更重要Mitbbs.com


能力比知识更重要Mitbbs.com


健康比成绩更重要Mitbbs.com


生活比文凭更重要Mitbbs.com


情商比智商更重要Mitbbs.com


——清华大学校长留给毕业生的一段话Mitbbs.com




方向比努力重要。Mitbbs.com


现在是讲究绩效的时代,公司、企业、政府,需要的是有能力且能与企业方向共同发展的人,而不是一味努力但却南辕北辙的人。自己适合哪些行业,哪些职业,有很多东西是先天决定的,只有充分地发掘自己的潜力,而不是总与自己的弱点对抗,一个人才能出人头地,就像现在很多企业招聘的时候,他们相信通过培训和教育可以让火鸡学会爬树,但是还是觉得选个松树方便一些。方向不对,再努力、再辛苦,你也很难成为你想成为的那种人。Mitbbs.com


能力比知识重要。Mitbbs.com


知识在一个人的构架里只是表象的东西,就相当于有些人可以在答卷上回答如何管理企业、如何解决棘手的问题、如何当好市长等等,但是在现实面前,他们却显得毫无头绪、不知所措,他们总是在问为什么会是这种情况,应该是哪种情况等等。他们的知识只是知识,而不能演化为能力,更不能通过能力来发掘他们的潜力。现在很多企业都在研究能力模型,从能力的角度来观察应聘者能否胜任岗位。当然,高能力不能和高绩效直接挂钩,能力的发挥也是在一定的机制、环境、工作内容与职责之内的,没有这些平台和环境,再高的能力也只能被尘封。Mitbbs.com


健康比成绩重要。Mitbbs.com


成绩只能代表过去,这是很多人已经认同的一句话。对于毕业后走入工作岗位的毕业生,学生阶段的成绩将成为永久的奖状贴在墙上,进入一个工作单位,就预示着新的竞赛,新的起跑线。没有健康的身心,如何应对变幻莫测的市场环境和人生变革,如何应对工作压力和个人成就欲的矛盾?而且在现代社会,拥有强健的身体已经不是最重要的,健康的心理越来越被提上日程,处理复杂的人际关系、承受挫折与痛苦、缓解压力与抑郁,这些都将成为工薪族乃至学生们常常面对的问题。为了防止英年早逝、过劳死,还是多注意一下身体和心理的健康投资吧。Mitbbs.com


生活比文凭重要。Mitbbs.com


曾经有一个故事,说有个记者问放羊的小孩,为什么放羊?答:为了挣钱,挣钱干啥?答:盖房子,盖房子干啥?答:娶媳妇,娶媳妇干啥?答:生孩子,生孩子干啥?答:放羊!Mitbbs.com


记得去年在人大听一个教授讲管理学基础课,他说你们虽然都是研究生,但很多人本质上还是农民!大家惊愕,窃窃私语。他说你们为什么读研究生,很多人是不是想找个好工作,找好工作为了什么,为了找个好老婆,吃喝住行都不错,然后生孩子,为了孩子的前途更光明,这些不就是农民的朴素想法吗?那个农民父母不希望自己的子女比自己更好?说说你们很多人是不是农民思想,什么时候,你能突破这种思维模式,你就超脱了。当这个社会看重文凭的时候,假文凭就成为一种产业,即使是很有能力的人,也不得不弄个文凭,给自己脸上贴点金。比起生活,文凭还重要吗?很多人找女朋友或者男朋友,把学历当作指标之一,既希望对方能够给他/她伴侣的温暖与浪漫,又希望他/她知识丰富、学历相当或更高,在事业上能蒸蒸日上;我想说,你找的是伴侣,不是合作伙伴,更不是同事,生活就是生活,这个人适合你,即使你是博士他/她斗大字不识一个,那也无所谓,适合就会和谐融洽,人比文凭更重要。很多成功的人在回头的时候都说自己太关注工作和事业了,最遗憾的是没有好好陪陪父母、爱人、孩子,往往还伤心落泪,何必呢,早意识到这些,多给生活一些空间和时间就可以了。我们没有必要活得那么累。Mitbbs.com


情商比智商重要。Mitbbs.com


这个就很有意思了,大家忽然一下子对情商重视了起来,因为在新的世纪,情商将成为成功领导中最重要的因素之一。比如在许多员工和自己的亲人因恐怖袭击丧生的时刻,某公司CEO Mark Loehr让自己镇定下来,把遭受痛苦的员工们召集到一起,说:我们今天不用上班,就在这里一起缅怀我们的亲人,并一一慰问他们和亲属。在那一个充满阴云的星期,他用自己的实际行动帮助了自己和他的员工,让他们承受了悲痛,并把悲痛转化为努力工作的热情,在许多企业经营亏损的情况下,他们公司的营业额却成倍上涨,这就是情商领导的力量,是融合了自我情绪控制、高度忍耐、高度人际责任感的艺术。曾经有个记者刁难一位企业家:听说您大学时某门课重考了很多次还没有通过。这位企业家平静地回答:我羡慕聪明的人,那些聪明的人可以成为科学家、工程师、律师等等,而我们这些愚笨的可怜虫只能管理他们。要成为卓越的成功者,不一定智商高才可以获得成功的机会,如果你情商高,懂得如何去发掘自己身边的资源,甚至利用有限的资源拓展新的天地,滚雪球似得积累自己的资源,那你也将走向卓越

I love to be loved by you



I can't believe I'm standing here

Been waiting f... (more)
Added: October 04, 2007
I can't believe I'm standing here
Been waiting for so many years and
Today I found the Queen to reign my heart
You changed my live so patiently
And turned it into something good and real
I feel just like I felt in all my dreams
There are questions hard to answer
Can't you see...

Chorus:
Baby, tell me how can I tell you
That I love you more than life
Show me how can I show you
That I'm blinded by your light
When you touch me I can touch you
To find out the dream is true
I love to be loved by you

You're looking kind of scared right now
You're waiting for the wedding vows
But I don't know if my tongue's able to talk
Your beauty is just blinding me
Like sunbeams on a summer stream and
I gotta close my eyes to protect me
Can you take my hand and lead me
From here please yeah...yeah...

Chorus:
Baby, tell me how can I tell you
That I love you more than life
Show me how can I show you
That I'm blinded by your light
When you touch me I can touch you
To find out the dream is true
I love to be loved, I need to be loved
I love to be loved by you (less)

You Raise Me Up



Song: You Raise Me Up
Artist: Josh Groban


When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

面试须知的七件事

面试须知的七件事

By Joe Turner, Career Coach

Many years ago when I hated what I was doing for a living, I was encouraged by my career coach to write down several short stories about times and events in my life where I influenced the outcome. I was stumped at first, but after a few days, I came up with more than 15 pages of stories of times in my life where I influenced the outcome and either grew myself and/or bettered the existence of either myself or others around me.

许多年前,我厌倦了自己赖以谋生的工作。我的职业教练鼓励我写下过去我影响了事件结果的几件事。开始这让我有些犯难,但几天后,我写了超过15页纸。这些是我影响了结果的事情;让我获得成长并且/或者给我或我周围的人带来了更好的生存。

So what does this have to do with a job interview?

这和面试有什么关系?

If you read other books on job interviews, you'll notice they feed you lists of interview questions and answers to memorize. An interview is not an interrogation, however it's a conversation. To make it that way you need to come armed with a multitude of small stories about both your business and personal lives.

如果你去读一读其它有关工作面试的书,你就会注意到里面都是面试题目、还有要背诵的答案。面试不是审问。它是一次对话。要让它成为一次对话,你需要用那些“自己事业和个人生活”的小故事来“武装”自己。

When you go into an interview, you need to leave your nerves at the door. The best way to prepare is to be yourself. The best way to be yourself is to tell your own story (or stories).

在参加面试的时候,你需要把紧张留在门外。最好的准备就是做本色的自我。做自我最好的办法就是说自己的故事(一个或多个)。

This is especially great for the competency-based interview being used more today. In a traditional interview, the interviewer will ask you questions focused on whether you have the skills and knowledge needed to do the job. A competency-based interview goes further by asking you additional questions about your character and personal attributes that can better determine whether you fit their corporate culture. These are called "behavioral competencies."

对于如今基于能力的面试来说,这尤为重要。在传统面试中,面试官问你的问题集中在你是否具备工作中需要的能力或知识。能力面试会进一步问你有关性格、品质等能更准确地判断是否你适应企业文化的问题。这些被称之为“行为能力”。

A competency-based interviewer will spend about half the interview on your job skills, and about half on your behavioral competencies. He or she will be looking for evidence of how you have acted in real situations in the past.

能力测试面试官会花一半时间面试你的工作技能;另一半时间面试你的行为能力。他或她会去寻找过去你在现实情景中是如何表现的。

An employer wants to find out

雇主想知道:

* Are you an asset or liability? In other words, will you make money or save money for the company?

你是一项资产还是债务?换句话说,你会替公司赚钱还是省钱?

* Are you a team player? Will you fit into the corporate hierarchy or be like sand in the gears? Can you take and give (if appropriate) orders?

你是否有团队精神?你能适应企业上下级关系吗?还是会格格不入?你能接受及下达命令吗(如果必须的话)?

* Will you fit into the company culture? They don't want prima donnas.

你能融入企业文化吗?公司不想要自我本位的人。

The best way to show these traits is to take the initiative and have several personal stories that you can tell, taking maybe 30 to 90 seconds each.

展现这些特质的最好方法就是采取主动;准备几个合适的故事;每个故事讲述时间在30-90秒。

You may want to start by developing your stories around these seven areas

你也许希望从以下方面来构建你的故事:

1. Times where you either made money or saved money for your current or previous company.

你给当前或过去公司省钱/赚钱的经历。

2. A crisis in your life or job and how you responded or recovered from it.

你对生活或工作中曾出现的危机如何应对。

3. A time where you functioned as part of a team and what your contribution was.

你在团队中的工作以及贡献。

4. A time in your career or job where you had to overcome stress.

你在过去工作中克服压力的经历。

5. A time in your job where you provided successful leadership or a sense of direction.

你在工作中成功发挥领导才能的经历。

6. A failure that occurred in your job and how you overcame it.

你在工作上经历过的失败以及从失败中崛起的经历。

7. Any seminal events that happened during your career to cause you to change direction and how that worked out for you.

职业生涯中任何让你改变方向的重大事件;以及这些事件是如何影响你的。

I want to emphasize that an interview should not be an interrogation. It should be a conversation between two equals. When you accomplish this you come away a step closer to your goal of landing the job you really want, because...

我想强调的是面试不应该是审问,应该是基于平等的一次谈话。做到这点后,你就会离你心仪工作又近一步,因为……

It's the conversation that wins an interview, and it's the conversation that wins the job.

为你赢得面试机会的是对话;为你赢得工作的也是对话。

To have a conversation, have your stories ready.

要进行对话;请准备好你的故事。

That's What Friends are For




Title: That's What Friends are For
Artist: Dionne Warick and Friends


And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try to feel
The way we do today
And then if you can remember
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
Whoa, and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember, oh
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
Oh, that's what friends are for
Whoa... oh... oh... keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, oh, for sure
'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for
For good times and for bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for (That's what friends are for)
On me, for sure
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'

Same Side Of The Moon



Song: Same Side Of The Moon
Artist: Corrinne May


I'm looking out the window
Where we sat to watch the stars
There's a chill within the air
It makes my heart long for your touch
You may be miles away
But as I kneel to pray

I see the same side of the moon
That we'll be looking on when the world turns blue
And know that time and space can't come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon
And though you'll never see all the tears shine through
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon

I picture you across the ocean
In your corner of the world
I pray the wind will blow my voice
And gently whisper in your ear
Your night may be my day
And though the seasons change

It's still the same side of the moon
That we'll be looking on when the world turns blue
And know that time and space can't come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon
And though you'll never see all the tears shine through
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon
