I was 14 years old. I was angry and rebellious, with regard for anything my parents had to say, if it had nothing to do with me. Like so many , I struggled to escape from anything that didn’t my picture of the world. A “ brilliant without need of guidance” kid, I rejected any obvious of love. In fact, I got angry at the of the word “love”.

One , after an extremely difficult day, I into m room, shut the door loudly and fell down onto my bed heavily. As I lay down in the privacy of my , my hands placed under my pillow. There was an envelope. I pulled it out and on the envelope it said, “To when you’re alone.”

I was alone, no one would know whether I read it or not. So I opened it. It said,“Mike,I know life is right now, I know you are frustrated and I know we don’t do everything right. I also know that I love you and nothing you do or say will ever change that. I am here for you if you ever need to talk. If you don’t, that’s also . Just know that no matter where you go or whatever you do in your life, I will always love you and be that you are my son. I’m here for you and I love you-that will never .love you Mom.”

Every night as I went to bed, I would put my hands under my , and I remember the I felt every time I got a letter.

Virtual (虚拟) Teams

Virtual teams are a great way to enable teamwork in situations where people are not sitting in the same office at the same time.1.This is particularly so for businesses that use virtual teams to build global presence,or need less common skills or knowledge from people who are unwilling to travel.

Virtual teams are governed by the same basic principles as traditional teams.2. It is the way the team members communicate.They rely on special communication channels enabled by modern technologies,such as emails,faxes,and teleconferences,and alike.Due to more limited communication channels,the success of virtual teams is much more sensitive to the type of project the group works on,what people are selected,and how the team is managed.

3. One challenging case is the projects that rely heavily on integrated work.That is to say,when each person’s work depends significantly on what someone else is doing at the same moment,like in a sports team,there is an ongoing heavy exchange of information in real time,and the tasks have to go through a strict order within a short time.

Not everyone can perform well in a virtual team environment.4.Another important quality is communication skills.The team members must be able to communicate clearly and positively.

Managers of virtual teams need to pay much more attention to having clear goals,performance standards,and communication rules.People have various assumptions on what to expect from each other.5.

One of the biggest challenges of virtual teams is building trust between the team members.Trust is important for unblocking communication between members and increasing motivation of each person in the team.The issue of trust needs special attention at any stage of team existence.

A.Yet,there is one significant difference.

B.Not every type of project is suitable for a virtual team.

C.A virtual team can choose whatever project they like to work on.

D.The members must be self-motivated and able to work independently.

E.Such teams are now widely used by companies and organizations to cut business costs.

F.Members of virtual teams communicate quite well although they never meet face-to-face.

G.To avoid misunderstanding,clear rules that everyone understands and agrees on are necessary.
