Nowadays, a cellphone service is available to everyone, everywhere. Probably thousands of people have already been using it, but I just discovered it, so I'm going to claim it and also name it: Fake Foning.
The technology has been working well for me at the office, but there are infinite(无限的） applications. Virtually in any public space.
Say you work at a big university with lots of talky faculty members buzzing about. Now, say you need to use the restroom. The trip down the hall will take approximately one hour, because a person can't walk into those talky people without getting pulled aside for a question, a bit of gossip, a new read on a certain line of Paradise Lost.
So, a cellphone. Any cellphone. Just pick it up. Don't dial. Just hold that phone to your face and start talking. Walk confidently down the hall engaged in fake conversation, making sure to tailor both the topic and content to the person standing before you whom you are trying to avoid.
For standard colleague avoidance, I suggest fake chatting about fake business:
"Yes, I'm glad you called, because we really need to hammer out the details. What's that? Yes, I read Page 12, but if you look at the bottom of 4, I think you can see the problem begins right there."
Be engaged in your fake fone conversation. Make eye contact with the people passing, nod to them, gesture keen interest in talking to them at a later time, point to your phone, shrug and move on.
Shoppers should consider fake foning anytime they spot a talky neighbor in the produce department pinching (用手捏) unripe peaches. Without your phone at your face, you'd be in for a 20-minute speech on how terrible the world is.
One important caution about fake foning. The other day I was fake foning my way past a colleague, and he was actually following me to get my attention. I knew he wanted to ask about a project I had not yet finished. I was trying to buy myself some time, so I continued fake foning with my doctor. "So I don't need the operation? Oh, doctor, that is the best news."
And then: Brrrrrrng! Brrrrrmg! Brrrrrmg! My phone started ringing, right there while it was planted on my face. My colleague looked at me, and I at him, and naturally I gasped. "What is the matter with this thing?" I said, pulling the phone away to look at it, and then putting it back to my ear.
"Hello? Are you still there?" Oops.

Road to Success1．________
Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the initial stage of their career．They were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office．I notice we have professional sweepers now in offices, and our young men unfortunately miss that useful branch of business education．But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom．It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary．I was one of those sweepers myself．
2．________
Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is to be ambitious．I would think nothing of the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm．Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk, or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive．Say to yourself, “My place is at the top．” Be king in your dreams．
3．________
Persistence is the consistent factor in most people who succeed, no matter what they are succeeding at．Yet, in the work place we often seem to forget to persist what we are doing．It's easy to get discouraged when you continually try to achieve something and it doesn't work out．But remember that if you try long enough, hard enough and make adjustments along the way, sooner or later you will get to your goal．
4．________
And here is another prime condition of success, the great secret：focus your energy, thought, and capital totally upon the business in which you are engaged．Having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it．
5．________
The companies which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also．They have investments in this, or that, or the other, here there, and everywhere．“Don't put all your eggs in one basket．” is all wrong．I tell you to “put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket．” Look round you and take notice, men who do that not often fail．It is easy to watch and carry the one basket．It is trying to carry too many baskets that breaks most eggs in this country．He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is easy to fall and trip him up．
To summarize what I have said：aim for the highest; never enter a bar room; never speculate; never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund; make the firm's interest yours; put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket; for as Emerson says, “no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves．”
