1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party.
You go up to her and say, 'I am very rich. Marry me!'
That's DIRECT MARKETING.

2. You are at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl.
One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says, 'He's very rich. Marry him!'
That's ADVERTISING.

3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number.
The next day, you call her and say, 'Hi, I am very rich. Marry me!'
That's TELEMARKETING.

4. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You get up and straighten your tie. You walk up to her and pour her a drink. You open the door for her. You pick up her bag after she drops it.

That's MARKET COMPETITION.

小妮子最近似乎有一点性情大变。。。 Jojo 出生至今已有两个星期多，也许众人的焦点总是在Jojo的身上，所以她有点吃醋了。小小年纪的她，也吃起弟弟的干醋。。。大概女人天生都爱吃醋吧！把悲愤化成食量，食量惊人。。。令我这个姨姨也甘拜下风。今天的晚餐就吃了她妈妈的面线，接着又吃了一碗饭，然后看到我们打包炒米粉和果条，也来一起大吃朵颐。。。看到她的大胃口，还蛮讶异的。。。哭笑不得。

Jojo - 酣睡中。。。ZZZ

Jojo - 玩乐中。。。Yeah yeah !

随想

理性与感性之间的平衡点在哪里？总是理性地思考，理性地分析事情，忘了问问我的心究竟是什么感觉。。。也许压抑太久了，有些麻木。。。有时也想任性地做些自己想要做的事情。 原来我也是个任性的家伙。 有时候，想抛开一切，背着包包去流浪，可是又怕吃苦，真是一个矛盾的人。。。哈哈！

人生没有十全十美的选择，也没有绝对的对与错。。。活在当下是不是比较好呢？ 有时候，事情愈想愈复杂。。。别考虑太多，活着也简单些，快乐些。

学会选择，才能掌握自己的人生；学会放弃，才能放下沉重的包袱，在人生的路途上，走得更快，走得更远。

【人生】 仇人與恩人

* 給辛苦的上班族分享!! 很有意思的管理故事

大學剛畢業的時候，某電視公司請我去主持個特別節目， 那節目的導播看我文章不錯，又要我兼編劇。 可是當節目做完，領酬勞的時候，導播不但不給我編劇費， 還扣我一半的主持費。他把收據交給我說: 『你簽收一千六，但我只能給你八百，因為節目透支了。』 我當時沒吭聲，照簽了，心想"君子報仇，十年不晚。"

後來那導播又找我，我還照樣幫他做了幾次。 最後一次，他沒扣我錢，變得對我很客氣，因為那時我被電視公司的新聞部看上， 一下子成為了電視記者兼新聞主播。 我們後來常在公司遇到，他每次笑得都有點尷尬。我曾經想去告他一狀，可是正如高中那位同學所說, 沒有他我能有今天嗎？ 如果我當初不忍下一口氣，又能繼續獲得主持的機會嗎？ 機會是他給的，他是我的貴人，他已經知錯，我何必去報復呢？

後來我到了美國留學。有一天，一位已經就業的同學對我抱怨他的美國老闆"吃"他， 不但給他很少的薪水，而且故意拖延他的綠卡 （美國居留權）申請。我當時對他說： 『這麼壞的老闆，不做也罷。但你豈能白幹了這麼久， 總要多學一點，再跳槽，所以你要偷偷學。』 他聽了我的話，不但每天加班，留下來背那些商業文書的寫法。 甚至連怎麼修理影印機，都跟在工人旁邊記筆記， 以便有一天自己出去創業，能夠省點修理費。 隔了半年，我問他是不是打算跳槽了？他居然一笑：『不用！我的老闆現在對我刮目相看，又升官，又加薪， 而且綠卡也馬上下來了，老闆還問我為什麼態度一百八十度轉變， 變得那麼積極呢？』他心裏的不平不見了，他作了『報復』，只是換了一種方法, 而且他自我檢討，當年其實是他自己不努力。

大概前五年吧！我遇到個有意思的事。 一位老友突然猛學算命，由生辰八字、紫薇斗數、姓名學到占星術， 沒一樣不研究。 他學算命，當然不是覺得算命靈驗，而是想證明算命是騙人的東西。 原因是有一位非常著名的大師為他算命，算他活不到四十七， 他發誓，非打爛那大師的招牌不可。你猜怎樣？他愈學愈怕，因為他發現自己算自己，也確實活不長。

這時候，他改了，他跑去做慈善，說:『反正活不久了，好好運用剩下的歲月，做點有意義的事。』 他很積極地投入，人人都說他變了， 由一個焦躁勢利的小人，變成敦厚慈愛的君子。 不知不覺，他過了四十七、過了四十八，而今已經五十三，紅光滿面、生氣勃勃，比誰都活利健康。 「你可以去砸那大師的招牌了！」 我有一天開他玩笑。 他眼一亮，回問我：『為什麼？』 又笑笑：『要不是那人警告我，照我以前的個性， 確實四十七歲非犯心臟病不可，他沒有不準啊！』

各位年輕朋友！ 你總是心有不平嗎？ 你有"此仇不報非君子"的憤恨嗎？ 一點心得 - 你要知道，"敵人、仇人" 都可以"激發"你的 "潛能"，成為你的"貴人"。許多怨仇、不平，其實問題都出在你自己。這世間最好的『報復』，就是運用那股不平之氣， 使自己邁向成功，以那成功和"成功之後的胸懷"， 對待你當年的敵人，且把敵人變成朋友。

給懂〝珍惜〞的人:

1. 遇到你真的愛的人時, 要努力爭取和他相伴一生的機會！ 因為當他離去時,一切都來不及了！

2. 遇到可相信的朋友時, 要好好和他相處下去。 因為在人的一生中，可遇到知己真的不易！

3. 遇到人生中的貴人時，要記得好好感激。 因為他是你人生的轉折點！

4. 遇到曾經愛過的人，記得微笑向他感激。 因為他是讓你更懂愛的人！

5. 遇到曾經恨過的人時，要微笑向他打招呼。 因為他讓你更加堅強！

6. 遇到曾經背叛你的人時，要跟他好好聊一聊。 因為若不是他，今天你不會懂這世界！

7. 遇到曾經偷偷喜歡的人時，要祝他幸福唷！ 因為你喜歡他時，不是希望他幸福快樂嗎？

8. 遇到匆匆離開你人生的人時，要謝謝他走過你的人生。因為他是你精采回憶的一部分！

9. 遇到曾經和你有誤會的人時，要趁現在解清誤會。 因為你可能只有這一次機會解釋清楚！

10. 遇到現在和相伴一生的人，要百分百感謝他愛你。 因為你們現在都得到幸福和真愛。

A LOVE Story

He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he so normal, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised.

They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she thought, please, let me go home.... suddenly he asked the waiter. 'would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee.'

Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously; why you have this hobby? He replied: 'when I was a little boy, I was living near the sea, I like playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there'. While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched...

That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home. Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story. They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story , the princess married to the prince, then they were living the happy life...And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee e, as she knew that's the way he liked it.

After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said: 'My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything...

Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste.. But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you.. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you for my whole life,even though I have to drink the salty coffee again'.

Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday, someone asked her: what's the taste of salty coffee? It's sweet. She replied.

Love is not 2 forget but 2 forgive, not 2 see but 2 understand, not 2 hear but 2 listen, not 2 let go but 2 HOLD ON !!!! Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you like, because the one you like will leave you for the one they love.

Find one, who calls you beautiful instead of hot.

Who calls you back when you hang up on him.

Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.

Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead.

Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.

Who holds your hand in front of his friends.

Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.

Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, '...that's her.'
