(点击) away. Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends
online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group.
"I don't often talk with my parents or grand-parents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ," said
Fox's Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. "Most of my classmates use QQ after
school."
QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A recorder from Tencent, the company which
developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October. And probably Fox's
Shadow was one of them. "I log in(登陆) on Friday nights, and Saturdays when I feel everything around
me boring. I usually spend about ten hours chatting on-line every week," she said. "But I never talk with
strangers, especially boys or men."
Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. "You don't
know who you're talking to. You should always be careful about whom you believe in online." Many
people would like to meet offline when they feel they have got to know someone very well. Fox's
Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a football fan like herself
and they went to a football match together.
A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Bart Simon online, dislikes QQ uses. "I used to chat on QQ, but
I found that most people were talking about foolish things," he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. "I only chat online because I've got friends in Japan, the US and Singapore," he said. "I want to
learn more about foreign cultures." But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of
time and money.
"If you are really addicted to(沉溺于) it, sometimes you can't give your mind to your lessons," he
said. "And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet
online."

A religious person will have a different thought from one who is not. And a Democrat usually doesn’t view issues the same way as a Republican.
Take the shoes for example. It has the same principle. Some like custom shoes for personalization. But some don’t. Someone will buy a shoes printer only for one desired image. That all depends on different conceptions. So when you have a negative thought about yourself, don’t consider it a fact until you also reflect on the opposite view. And if the alternative is more positive, accept that to be your truth.
An anorexic (厌食症患者) looks in the mirror and thinks she’s fat. As a result she starves herself and rids her body of vital nutrition. But society thinks she’s too skinny. Unless she can change her perception, she’ll never agree with society. And she’ll never get better. What are you seeing in you that is preventing you from realizing how beautiful you are? Or how smart you are? Or how lovable? If you take the positive view, that is how other people will see you too.
More often than not the critical statements that damage your self-esteem come from your own mind. Now you know how you can silence them. A bad comment is usually not about you; it’s about something that is going on with the commenter. Don’t believe anything that is said to you that isn’t in your best interest. And don’t waste any time or brainpower on anyone who doesn’t think you are amazing.
It’s what you think that creates how you feel. Design your own custom shoes, despite other one’s critical eyes. If you like it, it will be the top one. If someone tells you you’re fat, or stupid or otherwise unappealing, the only person you should think badly about is them!

| Interviewer: "Marjorie Scardino, you are leading one of the top companies in the U.K., and you've been voted business woman of the year. What qualities do you need to run a large company effectively?" Marjorie Scardino: "Well, I think different companies probably require different qualities, but for me there are only a few simple qualities that cut across all requirements, and those are courage and imagination and empathy. And by empathy, I mean, having the ability to put yourself in other people's positions and understand how they feel about situations and ideas." Interviewer: "Which business leaders do you admire and why?" Marjorie Scardino: "I think the best business leaders are probably ones we don't know about, not the stars we read in the newspapers. I think they're probably the ones who have had a great business idea and have seen the desired result. So the business leaders I most admire right now are those managers in Pearson who are achieving our goals of double-digit earnings growth." Interviewer: "What do business leaders actually do?" Marjorie Scardino: "My staff would probably say this was a really excellent question they ask themselves every day. I think what they do is just what I've said the business leaders I admire do. They create a business idea, and they see it through." Interviewer: "As a leader, how do you motivate your employees?" Marjorie Scardino: "I'd like to think we motivate each other. I think my job is to make sure the company has a purpose, because I think people like to work for a company that has a reason for being, that they can identify with and feel good about. I think that I have to communicate well with them everything that's going on and everything I'm trying to do in a clear way. And then in return I think they inspire me to think more adventurously and to think more carefully about how to inspire them and how to build a better business. So, it's sort of cooperation." Interviewer: "Do you think leaders are born or made?" Marjorie Scardino: "I think it's probably a bit of both. All human beings obviously are born with certain qualities, and certain common features. But I've seen so many people in my life who have, using those basic qualities, re-invented themselves several times as they've gone into new situations. You know, you're a certain kind of person when you're in school, and your friends know who you are. And then as you grow up you go into new situations and become somebody else. So, people who were never leaders in school become the great business leaders of our time. So, I would have to say, mostly it's made, but you have to use what you're born with." | ||||||||||||
