Laie Hawaii Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) located on the northeast shore of the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu. The temple sits on a small hill a half-mile from the Pacific Ocean in the town of Lāʻie, 35 miles (56 km) from Honolulu. Along with Brigham Young University Hawaii and the Polynesian Cultural Center, the Laie Hawaii Temple plays an important role in the town of Lā'ie,^[1] with the temple Visitors' Center attracting more than 100,000 people annually.^[2]

Laie Hawaii Temple was the first LDS Church temple built outside of the continental United States. The temple is also the oldest to operate outside of Utah, and the fifth-oldest LDS temple still in operation. The site of the temple was dedicated by Church President Joseph F. Smith on June 1, 1915, and the completed structure was dedicated by Church President Heber J. Grant on November 27, 1919. Laie Hawaii Temple was formerly known as the Hawaiian Temple or the Hawaii Temple until a standard naming convention for LDS temples was adopted in the early 2000s.

Following the assassination of Joseph Smith, Jr., in Carthage, Illinois, in 1844, the more than 11,000^[9] Latter-Day Saints remaining in Nauvoo, IL struggled in conflict with neighbors until Brigham Young, the President of the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, emerged as the leader of the largest portion. (See Succession crisis.)

Brigham Young and the first band of Mormon pioneers came to the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847. Over the next 22 years, more than 70,000 pioneers crossed the plains and settled in Utah.^[10] For the first few years, Brigham Young and the thousands of early settlers of Salt Lake City struggled to survive. The barren desert land was deemed by the Mormons as desirable as a place they could practice their religion without interference.

It is not widely known that Utah was the source of many pioneer settlements located elsewhere in the West. From the beginning, Salt Lake City was seen as only the hub of a "far-flung commonwealth"^[11] of Mormon settlements. Fed by a constant supply of church converts coming from the East and around the world, Church leaders often assigned groups of church members to establish settlements throughout the West. Beginning with settlements along Utah's Wasatch front (Salt Lake City, then Bountiful and Weber Valley, then Provo and Utah Valley), irrigation enabled the establishment of fairly large pioneer populations in an area that Jim Bridger had advised Young would be inhospitable for the cultivation of crops because of frost.^[12] Throughout the remainder of the 1800s, Mormon pioneers called by Brigham Young would leave Salt Lake City and establish hundreds of other settlements in Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, California, Canada, and Mexico - including such notable places as Las Vegas, Nevada, Franklin, Idaho (the first white settlement in Idaho), San Bernardino, California, Star Valley, Wyoming, and Carson Valley, Nevada.

Prominent settlements in Utah included St. George, Logan, and Manti (where settlers raised the first three temples in Utah, each built many years before the larger and better known temple built in Salt Lake City was completed in 1892), as well as Parowan, Cedar City, Bluff, Moab, Vernal, Fillmore (which served as the territorial capital between 1850 and 1856), Nephi, Levan, Spanish Fork, Springville, Provo Bench (now Orem), Pleasant Grove, American Fork, Lehi, Sandy, Murray, Jordan, Centerville, Farmington, Huntsville, Kaysville, Grantsville, Tooele, Roy, Brigham City, and many other smaller towns and settlements. At the time, Young had an expansionist's view of the territory that he and the Mormon pioneers were settling, calling it Deseret - which according to the Book of Mormon was supposed to have translated into "honeybee" - hence the beehive which can still be found on the Utah flag, and the state's motto, "Industry."^[13]

In 1847 when the first pioneers arrived, Utah was still Mexican territory. As a consequence of the Mexican-American War, the land became the territory of the United States upon the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, February 2, 1848. The treaty was ratified by the United States Senate on March 11. In 1850, the Utah Territory was created with the Compromise of 1850, and Fillmore was designated the capital. It was given the name Utah after the Ute tribe of Native Americans. In 1856, Salt Lake City replaced Fillmore as the territorial capital.

Disputes between the Mormon inhabitants and the US Government intensified due to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' practice of plural marriage among its members. The Mormons were pushing for the establishment of the State of Deseret. The U.S. Government, which was reluctant to admit a state the size of the proposed Deseret into the union, opposed the polygamous practices of the Mormons.

After news of their polygamous practices spread, the members of the LDS Church were quickly viewed as un-American and rebellious. In 1857, after news of a false rebellion spread, the government sent troops on the "Utah expedition" to quell the supposed rebellion and to replace Brigham Young as territorial governor with Alfred Cumming. The resulting conflict is known as the Utah War.

As troops approached Salt Lake in northern Utah, nervous Mormon settlers and Paiutes attacked and killed 120 immigrants from Arkansas in southern Utah. The attack became known as the Mountain Meadows massacre. The massacre became a point of contention between LDS leaders and the federal government for decades. Only one person, John D. Lee, was ever convicted of the murders, and he was executed at the massacre site.

Before troops led by Albert Sidney Johnston entered the territory, Brigham Young ordered all residents of Salt Lake City to evacuate southward to Utah Valley and sent out a force, known as the Nauvoo Legion, to delay the government's advance. Although wagons and supplies were burned, eventually the troops arrived, and Young surrendered official control to Cumming, although most subsequent commentators claim that Young retained true power in the territory. A steady stream of governors appointed by the president quit the position, often citing the traditions of their supposed territorial government. By agreement with Young, Johnston established Fort Floyd 40 miles (60 km) away from Salt Lake City, to the southwest.

Salt Lake City was the last link of the First Transcontinental Telegraph, completed in October 1861. Brigham Young was among the first to send a message, along with Abraham Lincoln and other officials.

Because of the American Civil War, federal troops were pulled out of Utah Territory, leaving the territory in LDS hands until Patrick E. Connor arrived with a regiment of California volunteers in 1862. Connor established Fort Douglas just three miles (5 km) east of Salt Lake City and encouraged his people to discover mineral deposits to bring more non-Mormons into the state. Minerals were discovered in Tooele County, and miners began to flock to the territory.

Beginning in 1865, Utah's Black Hawk War developed into the deadliest conflict in the territory's history. Chief Antonga Black Hawk died in 1870, but fights continued to break out until additional federal troops were sent in to suppress the Ghost Dance of 1872. The war is unique among Indian Wars because it was a three-way conflict, with mounted Timpanogos Utes led by Antonga Black Hawk exploited by federal and LDS authorities.

On May 10, 1869, the First Transcontinental Railroad was completed at Promontory Summit, north of the Great Salt Lake. The railroad brought increasing numbers of people into the state, and several influential businesspeople made fortunes in the territory.

During the 1870s and 1880s, laws were passed to punish polygamists, and in the 1890 Manifesto, the LDS Church banned polygamy. When Utah applied for statehood again, it was accepted. One of the conditions for granting Utah statehood was that a ban on polygamy be written into the state constitution. This was a condition required of other western states that were admitted into the Union later. Statehood was officially granted on January 4, 1896. Utah was the last state admitted in the Nineteenth century. In 1899, only three years after achieving statehood, the Utah Legislature established the first state art agency in the nation, the Utah Art Institute. Now known as the Utah Arts Council (UAC), and the oldest state arts council in the country, the UAC is located next to the Governor's Mansion in Salt Lake City, maintains the State Fine Art Collection, and provides funding, professional development, as well as technical assistance to artists and art agencies throughout Utah.

[edit] 1900s to present

Beginning in the early 1900s, with the establishment of such national parks as Bryce Canyon National Park and Zion National Park, Utah began to become known for its natural beauty. Southern Utah became a popular filming spot for arid, rugged scenes, and such natural landmarks as Delicate Arch and "the Mittens" of Monument Valley are instantly recognizable to most national residents. During the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, with the construction of the Interstate highway system, accessibility to the southern scenic areas was made easier.

Beginning in 1939, with the establishment of Alta Ski Area, Utah has become world-renowned for its skiing. The dry, powdery snow of the Wasatch Range is considered some of the best skiing in the world (thus the license plate, "the Greatest Snow on Earth").^[14][15] Salt Lake City won the bid for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in 1995, and this has served as a great boost to the economy. The ski resorts have increased in popularity, and many of the Olympic venues scattered across the Wasatch Front continue to be used for sporting events. This also spurred the development of the light-rail system in the Salt Lake Valley, known as TRAX, and the re-construction of the freeway system around the city.

During the late 20th century, the state grew quickly. In the 1970s, growth was phenomenal in the suburbs. Sandy was one of the fastest-growing cities in the country at that time. Today, many areas of Utah are seeing phenomenal growth. Northern Davis, southern and western Salt Lake, Summit, eastern Tooele, Utah, Wasatch, and Washington counties are all growing very quickly. Transportation and urbanization are major issues in politics as development consumes agricultural land and wilderness areas.

 

The State of Utah (IPA: /ˈjuːtɔː/ or /ˈjuːtɑː/ (help·info)) is a western state of the United States. It was the 45th state admitted to the Union on January 4, 1896. Approximately 80 percent of Utah's 2,736,424 people live along the Wasatch Front, centering around Salt Lake City. In contrast, vast expanses of the state are nearly uninhabited, making the population the sixth most urbanized in the U.S.^[4] The name "Utah" is derived from the Ute Indian language, meaning "people of the mountains."^[5]

Utah is known for being one of the most religiously homogeneous states in the Union, with approximately 58 percent^[6] of its adult inhabitants claiming membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the Mormon Church or the LDS Church), which greatly influences Utah culture and daily life.

The state is a center of transportation, information technology and research, government services and mining as well as a major tourist destination for outdoor recreation. According to U.S. Census Bureau's population estimates, Utah is currently the fastest growing state in the United States as of 2008.^[7] St. George, Utah was the fastest growing metropolitan area in the United States from 2000–2005.^[8]

 

 

     "Every day, there is a new question"

I think winning is great. Not good-great.

Winning in business is great because when companies win, people thrive and grow. There are more jobs and more opportunities everywhere and for everyone.

You have to win the right way- Cleanly and by the rules. That's given. Companies and people that don't compete fairly don't deserve to win, and thanks to well-honed internal company processes and government regulatory agencies, the bad guys are usually found and kicked out of the game.

Using love, hope, and an attitude that anything is possible.

Have a positive attitude and spread it around, never let yourself be a victim, and for goodness'sake-have fun.

Business is a game, and winning that game is a total blast!

Every day in life, there is a new question. That is what keeps us going.

 

     前段时间做了一期高等教育与商业成功关系的节目，代表未受高等教育群体的有周成建等人，代表受过良好高等教育的有郭凡生等人。现场的对话风格与初步沟通结论很有意思，初初看那些未受高等教育的企业家群体更能有条有理、出口成章，而受过高等教育的企业家群体表现得如性情中人、随性发挥。如果我们不知道他们本来的教育背景，仅仅看现场的表现风格，那么很容易得到一个与实际相反的结论。为什么呢？有一位现场嘉宾的说法很切中实质，他说其实成功的企业家都是胆略与探索，学习与反思这两类要素的结合，即使那些没有受过高等教育的人也透过其他途径对于学习各类知识与比一般人更体察社会与市场的需要；而那些受过高等教育者比之其他做学问的人更擅长动手与更切合世俗社会的行止规则。因此，经过大学而能成功的企业家是知识分子+流氓；而没经过大学的企业家是流氓加知识分子。

    这话是话糙理不糙。这里说的流氓不是真的传统意义上的流氓，而是说的在江湖与社会上能够有胆去拼，有法去闯，有人可交，有事可练的意思，他们不只是呆那想，呆那看书，纸上谈兵，坐而论道的角色；这里说的知识分子，是有见识、有洞察加上一点前瞻性远见的系统思考者。当这两者结合的时候，我们看到了知行合一或者行知合一的模式，也看到了如何在前面的知行的基础上来提升后面的知行水平的典范。

    我们今天社会中的有既不爱动脑筋也不爱探索的一类人是所谓常人，有只爱动脑筋不爱探索的一类是所谓学者，也有只爱探索而不爱动脑筋的一类是所谓X盲（比如法盲、科盲、文盲等等），而我们希望更多的人能变成学习动脑与行动经验结合的企业家与管理者，这种人定目标、找路径、整资源、带团队，这样的人就不能以前三种人为满足，而是成为前三种人的协调者。而在今天这样的社会上，我尤其要强调深入江湖、了解江湖、挑战江湖与超越江湖，正如也需要广泛学习、持续思考、挑战知识与超越理论一样。其实从我们的很多管理者、老师到一般的学生，我们现在在火热的社会生活中都有一个共同的局限，就是离开掌握社会脉动的能力更远了；我们很多的行动者也在忙碌的职业竞争中，离我们真正的知识蓄积池也越来越远了。这样，我们当不了知识分子，也当不了流氓了，更当不了流氓与知识分子之和，而只做成了非流非知的糊涂人。你可以说难得糊涂，但问题在于我们很多人从来糊涂。

 

     如果我们生活在一个父母与家人经常为我们安排各种事情的家庭中，我们很有可能就变得非常的被动，就是等别人安排各种机会与事情，基本上就是“等天上掉馅饼”的模式。被动化已经成为我们生活与学习的重要方式，而在这种方式中我们流失很多的机会与逼发自己潜力的条件。所以我经常让一些朋友尝试做一些超出自己原来行为习惯的主动行为，以冲击自己原来的行为惰性，其实很多时候我们会发现主动并没有我们想象的那么多障碍，很多事情我们原来还完全胜任，有些事情只要我们有锻炼的机会，我们实际上很愿意做或者发现做的趣味，而只是过去我们没有太多主动的机会，而一旦我们有了主动，我们就有了新的空间与新的价值。

    被动与主动的利弊：在一个好事情前面，主动能显示我们的热情与负责的意思，而被动则显得我们听命而行，前者可托付，后者可召用；在一个坏事情面前，主动能显示我们的勇气，被动则显示我们的无奈，前者可动人，后者需留神；在一个不好不坏的事情面前，主动能促使别人也愿意尝试，被动则容易让其他人作罢。我们可以在什么地方使用主动呢？这个不能一概而论，但是我可以举出一系列的例子：比如我们可以发现工作单位很多有意思但别人还没做的事情，主动问领导我可以试下这个么？比如我们可以主动地向坐在公共汽车、火车或者飞机座位边的不认识的朋友打招呼，陌生人就可能成了熟人。比如我们可以自己跑去其他学校听好的讲座、听完讲座问讲员主动要名片。比如我们可以在参加培训或者其他活动的时候主动提问。比如我们主动愿意在招待客人的时候为客人倒水与点菜。比如我们可以主动地关心我们办公间的新同事有没有需要帮助的地方。甚至在有一个新任务下达的时候，我们也可以主动去领取任务。

    主动是一种很重要的姿态，表明我们积极对待问题的态度；主动也是一种高度合作的模式，往往是别人喜欢的合作伙伴；主动是很好的学习模式，往往可以在不断的进取中塑造新能力；主动也是对自己的一种挑战，因为主动承揽而使得自己有更明确的责任去整合资源、实现承诺。因此，主动者往往是领导者或者魅力者的基本条件之一。但是主动也不是完全没有问题，主动者有时候可能侵犯到别人看作自己地盘的事情，主动者可能被一些人看作好事者，主动者也有可能给自己揽下不全是搞得定的事情。但是，主动是一种技能，它需要在操练中才知道把握好的火候与分寸，所以我们看到主动所带来的最核心的问题实际上是因为我们主动不够而导致的生疏所落下的毛病，而只有我们在经常的主动中反思、总结与调整，最终我们就能变得老练与地道，其他人就更能感到我们的热情与协调能力，而较少感到我们的盲动与愣头愣脑冲撞的表现。

 

     如果按照在校大学生的总量而论，西安能排在全国第三位；如果按照民办大学的在校大学生量而论，西安能排在第一位；而如果按照学生为市场接受的程度而论，西安也能排在前列。从某种程度上来说，西安没有北大、清华、复旦、中山那样的名校，从某种程度上来说，西安也没有在全国出人头地的著名学生，但是西安的大学生大概可以符合全好用、最实用、最能被接受的大学生群体的特点。

    原因在哪里呢？其一，其实全国名校使用尖子生的方式撇去了两种人才：考试尖子与虚荣心最高的学生，前者导致其动手能力低，后者导致其在做事为人的时候成为三高人才：高期望、高调门、高对抗，而这样的人才在西安大学生群体中就相对很少，西安多的是考试成绩一般或者不好，而自我期望比较务实的人，因此这样的年轻学生的心态与关系相处就合理得多。其二，西安的民办高校与一般高校的发达，导致他们在很大程度上需要找到自己持续的市场出路，因此无论在学科设置与教学方式上比较多地考虑了学生的出路，而且也比较多地考虑了使用各种方式寻求市场与校园的对接，西安的大学生也许不是最有见识的大学生群体，但是一定属于最有就业意识的大学生群体，这就大大地改变了学习的内在驱动力。其三，西安的地理位置与城市形象决定了它所得到的大学生群体属于相对内地、相对边远、相对次级城乡地区、相对家庭条件一般的家庭的孩子，所有这些从社会地位的角度来说不属于夸奖语的定语，如果用在描述一个职业人才则很可能与比较传统、踏实、稳定等这些站在职业成长与职业利用来说很正面的形容词联系在一起。因此可以说，比较北京、上海地区的人才而论，西安的人才可能是最具有实用与保留价值的。

    现在我在全国各地旅行的时候，看到了越来越多的在操作岗位上的西安人才，他们的确与我的分析判断相当一致。但是，我们也看到，西安这样一个庞大的学生资源还与西安城市社会之间的关联有限，西安社会在接纳大学生资源方面的吸引力还需要提高，如果把校园文化与社会文化之间的关联性方面的改善前进一大步，那么西安社会的青春化文化程度就上升到一个新水平，而西安大学生的社会介入与社会锻炼机会也就有了更大的改善，人才的适用性水平就有了更大的竞争力。这是我们期望看到的。在这个意义上，西安的人才培养模式与经验就值得更多次级中心城市学习。

 

 

 

when there was me and you

It's funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside
I'm standing here but all I want
Is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe
Miracles could happen
Cause now I have to pretend
That I don't really care

I thought you were my fairytale
A dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star
Thats coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you

I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing
And when you smiled
You made me feel
Like I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's
Once upon a song

Now I know your not a fairytale
And dreams were meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star
Just don't come true
Cause now even I tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
Cause I liked the view
When there was me and you

I can't believe that
I could be so blind
It's like you were floating
While I was falling
And I didn't mind

Cause I liked the view
Thought you felt it too
When there was me and you

 

 

    虽然政府干预经济不是奥巴马发起的，但是他显然是有力地推动实现政府干预美国经济的总统，所以我们就不奇怪有人给他贴上社会主义的标签了，甚至有人说他是美国社会党的秘密党员。奥巴马得以选为总统，在很大程度上在于他选择了把“改变”作为他的选战主轴，他在选举的时候就开始尝试了改变：历来的美国总统候选人批评利益集团左右美国政治，但是一旦当选就很快沦为利益集团的代言人，一个非常重要的原因是他们必须得回报利益集团对于他们的选举支持，而奥巴马在选举筹款的时候就采用了有效的大规模的小额捐款获得法，不但在技术上完成了美国历史上最大额的总统竞选资金的筹集，而且在财务上摆脱了一边承诺一边取钱的这种利益集团支持法所带来的负面后果。而能让他实现这一效果的技术就是互联网捐款。

    奥巴马是一位高度使用了与使用着IT信息技术尤其是网络的总统，除了网络捐款外，奥巴马使用网络社群方法组织特殊群体的支持，其中“奥巴马女孩”成为知名的网络运动品牌。奥巴马经常使用电子邮件、手机短信、网络聊天，同时也有FACEBOOK中的圈子。即使到了白宫他也努力使他的网络应用突破白宫的不少老规矩。在奥巴马治下，美国政府的电子政务得到了新的动力。

    同时奥巴马也是环境技术ET的热情支持者，他一上台，美国政府用于新能源与环境技术的研发投入立即有了显著的上升，环境产业人士成了奥氏的座上客，联邦与地方政府关于环境产业发展的共同语言迅速增加，美国对于环境领域的国际合作的积极性也有了很大的改进。奥巴马也非常重视对于生物产业与干细胞技术研究的投入，视之为美国未来全球核心竞争力的关键所在。

    注意奥巴马的作为对我们在危机中的决策是有意义的，因为一方面他试图用革命性的方法强力促进经济复苏，另一方面他着眼于美国下一轮的产业竞争与发展机会，寻找延续美国充当全球产业领导者的着力点。在这个意义上，奥巴马具有显著的以未来领导美国前进的见识。实际上，在我看来奥巴马的改变不只是一个选举口号，他在摆脱利益集团捆绑、革新政治行动陈规、寻求公众支持、着眼未来发展是一个成体系的行动模式，我们反思在其他国家的救市行为中，既得利益集团的强大影子、密室化救市决策、缺乏前瞻性的产业振兴思路、陈旧的政治动员方式导致人们产生一个普遍的疑虑：即使经济有所起色，治理模式似在后退。

 

 

 

      许多人期待成功，也有许多人害怕失败，我觉得原因是我们好高骛远与不能脚踏实地。许多人见过邓小平先生三起三落，高至最高领袖低至如平民般劳动改造，但其心态乐观，庙堂之高与江湖之远一样可以安然相处，则知其不可败也。人可以放一颗种子在合适的土中，在合适的时候浇水、培土、施肥、除草，然后可期其生根、发芽、展枝、拔苗、开花、结果；人可以植几许文字在合适的逻辑中，在合适的时候构思、落笔、铺展、修改、推敲，然后可期其成文、发表、经受批评、推崇；人可以放一些资本在适当的生意上，在合适的时候入市、开发、经营、推广，然后可期渗透、交易、回报与品牌认可。不管您有怎样的宏图大志，如果你能明白这如一农家般种植的道理，知道这世界之工无外乎种苗、种字、种钱之事而已，那么就没有什么可虚荣的；而你也知道，不管官位、钱财发旺如盛开的牡丹，最终仍需归入泥土；知道不论势利之中有多少挫折与打击，您终仍可以有一块地、一把种子可以指望，则就没有什么本质可以失去。因此，我们被击倒者无非是追求过于没谱、自我过于骄傲、做事过于虚浮，因为若我们的内心微小到底层，贴近了尘土，朴素到农夫，则我们就可以强大到在任何的高度正直敢为。

    我知道很多人追求很大的理想，但是那个理想是要从很小的地方出发的；一个摩天大楼也是从一点点的钢筋水泥做起来的；那些浩大的文献也是一点点文字起步；学问的构建是很多一个一个点的突破最后实现的；那些大亨也大半从毫厘开始创业。我们如果开始就在大处，不只是不能用力，而且也很容易招致别人的攻击，而在微小之处，别人甚至懒得多看你几眼。在微小的意义上，物质是不灭的；在微小的意义上，能量是巨大的；在微小的意义上，世界才回到真相；在微小的意义上，我们才站回到了逻辑的起点。微小的世界，安静、庄严、清晰、有序，所以微小才那么充满了智慧、真切与力量，是迷恋巨大的人们所无法理解，也无法企及的。让我们的眼光是更微小的吧，因此我们知道纷杂的表象背后有真实；让我们的知识更微小吧，因此我们有可能寻找到可以着力的的滴水处、扎针处与突破点；让我们的行动更微小吧，因此我们才能知道原来不论这地球与宇宙有多么浩大，总有一个我们施力的地方；让我们的期望更微小吧，因此我们可以从一个又一个微小的积累中重建一个新鲜的有我们自我标记的天地。微小导致改变，宏大徒然无力；微小凸现自我，浩大湮没个性。我们可以尝试做微小的工作，微小的创造，微小的革命。因为大家都不做微小的，因此微小少人匹敌；因为微小近于泥尘，因此已经无处坠落。

 

 

 

    从汽车、房地产，到服装、手表、家电、家居产品，当前消费市场上的基本特色是低端市场快速发展，高端市场脆弱稳定，中端市场相对萎缩。这样一个凹型消费结构已经基本上成型，并且继续在各产品领域发展。凹型结构形成的基本动力在于，消费者的危机心理形成以后，消费支出的谨慎型明显扩大，中间收入阶层对于未来的生活前景的谨慎预期形成，而在繁荣时期形成的低端消费者向上进行虚荣型的趋优消费的行为模式发生了重大逆转，因此中层消费者快速向中低层消费档次滑跌。

    凹型消费结构意味着什么？首先对于那些进行品牌提升努力寻求品牌溢价的企业是很大的阻击，人们在危机时期的核心消费价值急速地向实惠部分回归，一般性的广告概念的效用明显降低；其次需要寻求新的实际的减低成本的新途径，实现产品价格的新竞争力；再次在短期内新的高端品牌的出现基本不大可能，而相反进行兼并重组类的努力，重点应该考虑实体资产的价值，而无形品牌资产价值降到最低点；最后，人们即使在同等支付对价的基础上，需要看到新的设计理由，因此设计突破也是在这个条件下比较有竞争力的卖点，但其对应品牌的附加值贡献效应也在减少。因此，凹型消费结构中，企业在市场上获得附加值利润的机会降低了，主要的利润将来源于新的规模效应与短期生产原料下降而带来的产品利润空间。

    凹型消费结构并不是一个长期稳定持续的结构，在危机加深的情况下，凹型消费结构将进一步发展成为⊥型消费结构，也就是说消费的活跃部分均突出集中于低端消费部分，这将对于产品与服务结构发生重大的打击作用。而当前中国的内需启动简单对应于保民生的模式将加大高端消费的滑落，即使有限的高端消费资源将会出现显著的外流迹象。衡量危机变化的很重要的一个指标，就是社会商品消费中来源于高中低三个层次的零售消费量的变化。对于公共政策而言，出台刺激富裕人群与中间收入人群的税费优惠政策将非常必要，因为实际上尚有一定收入基础的人群与社会低端人群比较，在活跃经济方面的贡献度将明显较大，他们对于与政策资源匹配的个人财务贡献能力将显著较大。实际上，保民生应该作为经济活跃以后的一种政策选择，而不是启动消费需求的政策选择，这在对付相对长期的经济危机的情况下尤其需要作如此考虑，否则就有可能子弹耗尽而不能达到预期的经济启动的目标。

 

 

    因为工作的缘故，我接触很多客户公司，发现有不少公司的高管成为高管的来源是因为属于家族成员或者年资的原因，做了高管后又没认真学习管理知识与原理，因此坐在高管的位置上行为做派却颇不像高管。因此我提出高管伦理的几个规则，供大家参考。

    1.有明确的工作目标并善于帮助其他同事树立工作目标。高管要有愿景，并转化为具体的行动目标，成为具有自我驱动型与驱动他人的人，而不是只等着吩咐与指令的管理者。

    2.以积极态度面对任何同事和客户所提出问题，不轻言推诿。高管有分工，但不只限于分工，对分工边界事务积极对待，对非分工事务能协助推动。

    3.高管总是积极信息的对下传递者，有消极信息仅限在于上级的沟通中。高管不应在同级及下级同事中散发不满、有关别人是非的议论、传播他人私生活内容和批评公司管理行为。

    4.信守自己的工作承诺与责任，不攀比他人表现，尤其不应以攀比别人的不足为自己的不足辩言。

    5.用直接、公开、主动的沟通来解决高管间的争议，不赞赏隐晦、背后、等待别人主动的沟通方式。正面沟通应持坦诚、开放、和善及谦逊的态度，避免无依据、情绪化、个人化的争议和态度。

    6.对同事、下属、他人的工作表现出欣赏的姿态，而谨慎使用自我表扬、自我肯定、自我拔高的沟通风格。

    7.在入职、工作、提升、变动、受到表扬和批评、离职的任何环节，表现出适当、有礼、理性、遵纪的素养和风范。

    高层管理与中层和基础管理的差别在于它的高度，高管是大局的维护者，需要对自己提出显著高于其他同事的自我工作期望及堪称典范的职业行为，他们的高在于遵循管理的核心准则同时超越管理的机械分工与纪律，因此强调高管伦理对于做好组织管理的提升非常重要。

 

 

Marc Terenzi -《love to be loved by you》
Robin_SHI
I can`t believe I`d 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?
Baby, tell me how can I tell you
That I love you more than life
Show me how can I show you
That I`d 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 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...
Baby, tell me how can I tell you
That I love you more than life
Show me how can I show you
That I`d 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
I know they gonna say our love s not
strong enough to last forever
And I know they gonna say that well
give up because of heavy weather
But how can they understand
that our love is just heaven sent
We keep on going on and on cause
this is where we both belong?
Baby, tell me how can I tell you
That I love you more than life
Show me how can I show you
That I`d 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 yes I need to be loved
I love

 

 

 

 

 

 

    最近创业的气氛很热，对于找不到工作的人来说，似乎创业成了一个政府与很多机构鼓励的行为。我个人不是非常看好这种做法，因为在很多现在宣传中的创业成了浪漫与美好的概念，而忽略了创业就是入商海，就是进入那个所谓弱肉强食的优胜劣汰的残酷竞争游戏中，如果依照一般的商业规则，大部分创业企业5年后的存活率不到5%，而10年后更降至不到2%，对于大部分大学生来说，创业存活率一定是远低于这个一般比例的。

    创业当然谁都可以去试，但是我个人觉得创业的靠谱要素可以分三个层次来看待：一是创业的门槛因素，不具备这个因素就连门都进不去的，门槛的核心是体质和心理承受能力，也就是身体状况与神经强度能不能承受被客户、同行、员工、甚至政府办事人员反复折腾，还要有起早摸黑的素质，也能做到事必躬亲。二是敏感+偏执，进了门槛的人与是不是具有敏感地体会到机会所在，同时能执着的坚持有关。但在大半情况下，敏感的人游移而不执着，执着的人呆板而不敏感，敏感+执着的人往往有所坚持，但是能反周期行事，也能在否定前一段的自我中成长，从而实现持续的发展。三是有此两者尚不足以实现规模化的发展，规模发展则来自领导感召力，来自于对于团队的驾驭，这里我不把团队工作不放在作为创业者的基础条件，而是作为创业者的发展条件。

    因此实际上能传统这些条件而能创业者是很有限的，但是我们有不少人可能有自己的创业清结，所谓情结就是说不明白自己是不是符合上面的条件，也被其他人说得有点心动，甚至觉得为啥王八蛋都能创业为啥我就不行。所以我虽然为创业设定了这些条件，但是我还是支持有人去尝试创业，试一把之后行不行的心里就明白多了，否则有创业情结的人不试过，到死心里都不爽呢。但是，创业真的没有那么多导师可以帮助你的，创业是选择一种挑战的实验，是一种孤独的突破，是一种勇敢探索梦想的冲动。虽然，对于小生意创业来说，其实也有不少多少做点生意的机会，但是对于真正我们想成为所谓成功商业人士来说，其实执着的梦想与整合资源的尝试是必要的。我再一次强调，创业就是参与残酷的商业游戏，是有关生意生死与财务输赢的，而且大多数人是带着钱进去，极少数人带着多一点的钱出来的游戏，抛弃幻想非常重要。而且，我们今天大多数所谓创业机构与创业辅导者，本身都不知道创业的门道在哪，对于他们也不要幻想过多。

 

 

     一代人与一代人之间的差异从来不是绝对的，从下一代人中总可以找到像上一代的，同样从上一代也同样可以找到像下一代的，但是代与代之间仍然有一些大致的差异可以辨认。在多生代与独生代年轻人之间，这样的道理也是一样适用。

    从小孩别插嘴到大人听小孩：多生代文化里面大人的话语权比小孩强，大人不只说话不能插嘴，小孩的话也不会被当正常的人话对待；独生代正好相反，小孩说什么不只被大人重视，而且在他们说不清什么的时候他们的话就当成了什么，而且会成为大人话语的中心。

    从小孩打酱油到大人打酱油：多生代文化里面小孩很早就被当劳动力使用：打酱油、带小孩、帮工、当红小兵或者儿童团；独生代则就最大限度减少了工作量，甚至一些必要与完全适当的小孩子的锻炼也为父母或者爷爷奶奶替代，小孩子的动手机会空前地少。

    从被别人管教到别人被管教：多生代文化里面大人托付孩子就会说：把我的孩子当你的孩子，该打就打，该骂就骂；在独生代的文化里面，如果你管教了朋友或者亲友的孩子，效果正好相反：到底不是你自己的孩子，我这孩子我自己从小都舍不得打骂的，长这么大我还没大声对他吼过的。

    从妈管到管妈：多生代文化里面妈妈会按照自己的标准管制孩子的穿着、交友、恋爱，独生代文化里面，孩子会按照自己的标准管制着妈妈的穿着、交友与情感；如果说多生代是老化式的对后管制，而独生代就变成了嫩化式的对前管制。只有一点没有变，就是独生代文化中孩子的职业与社会选择能力弱化，妈妈管孩子的职业选择更多了，尽管很多时候根本是瞎管。

    从孩子你不懂到爸爸你不懂：多生代的爸爸和爷爷比孩子懂得多，可以用自己的经验与故事作为教育的蓝本；而独生代的孩子对于新技术、新知识、新信息的了解比老一代多，因此他们不会轻易推崇老爸老妈与爷爷奶奶，除非他们是超越自己世代而在新知方面格外敏感的一群。

    从不能早恋到早早恋：多生代18岁时候的恋爱还是被归为不适合的早恋，属于打压与追杀的对象；独生代幼儿园拉的早早恋都被父母当成乐子，而且大人开始适应孩子在初中就正经开始有男友女友，问题是即使大人不爽，能出面制止的属于另类。

    从小大有别到小大无别：多生代有个孩子从小像大人一样说话是奇才，但是到了成年时期很少年轻人还奶声奶气；在独生代因为孩子从小就和大人对话所以更多孩子从小就成了小大人——8岁孩子像18岁一样说话，但是也因为他们是独生子女，大人很少要求小孩在不同的时期矫正自己的语言方式，所以18岁的人仍然保留着8岁的语言风格。

    从无座到上座：多生代的酒席上没有小孩的位子，大人带小孩子上席甚至都被其他大人看作修养不好过于娇宠孩子的表现；独生代的酒席上孩子与大人同席，甚至比大人还优先上席，那些对自己孩子的席位安排不周的地方会很容易惹动孩子家长的不爽。

    难怪，你很容易从独生代孩子嘴里听到“我长这么大还没有怎样怎样”的惯用抱怨语，今天当着领导与管理者的多生代首先需要认真地反思：你们是不是在对待自己孩子的时候用了独生代模式，而到了单位却还在使用多生代模式？然后需要动脑筋：如果家庭教养已经倒了一个个，那么单位管理方式难道不需要倒一个个么，或者不倒一个个能长期维持么？最后我要说的是，对于独生代职业者来说也需要换一个角度反思：在家里我们是独生子女，在单位我们都是独生子女，显然不可能要求所有人都像我们的父母大人那样光听自己的。那么也许我们今天最重要要学习的一件事情是妥协的艺术：我们可以比过去声音大一点，但是我们也知道其他人的声音也更大了，所以我们最应该争取的不是自己的所有，而是取众人之中，中间与中道。
