Mr. Jackson lived in the center of London but he had a hotel near the airport. There a lot of foreigners stayed for night. He didn’t know any other language but English and he found it difficult for him to understand the foreign visitors. Sometimes he had to use the gesture to talk with them, and tried his best to make himself understood. But he was often misunderstood (误解) and it brought him a lot of trouble. A friend of his who taught a few foreign languages in a university would teach him. He was happy and studied hard. At first he learned some, but soon he found it wasn’t very easy to remember the words and expressions. His friend advised him to write down the useful expressions in his notebook so that he could use them when necessary. He did as he was told. He found it helpful for him to do so.
One evening there were plenty of people in the dining-room. They were all busy eating something except a Japanese.

Let me help him.”

It’s a great sunny day，so it’s time to get out and enjoy the weather.Many of us would like to，but we have projects due，tasks that need to be done，people that we need to see，and money that needs to be made.

What if your company gave you that time off as compensation for the great effort that you gave to the team to finish a project on time？See，when it comes to teamwork，the main focus is for the team to work together.In a “winning” team there is an equal balance of people who have unique strengths and weaknesses.

Take the example of the Chicago Bulls of the 1990s.Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player to play the game，but did they win a championship every year when Michael had played？No.It took a (D?type) Michael Jordan to lead the team and control the outcome.It took a(n) (I?type) wild and energetic Dennis Rodman to keep the team fun and interesting.It took (S?types) Scottie Pippin，Bill Cartwright，and John Paxson to support the team.And it took the (C?type) analytical mind of Coach Phil Jackson to create a foundation for the players to play on.In the end they，the Chicago Bulls，were able to win six championships within eight years.

What is your team made up of？All Jordans？All Jacksons？All Rodmans？Or all Pippins，Cartwrights and Paxsons？It is you who can choose who’s on your team.Try finding the right people for the right job，and you will have a “winning” team every time!

       The world famous entertainer had planned a series of 50 concerts in London from 12 July．Although in the last two decades his reputation was destroyed by charges of child molestation（骚扰） and his fantastic public behavior, all tickets were sold within hours, proving the King of Pop had enduring appeal．
