17．No one disagrees with the economic necessity of geographically extending a product．Not only does it increase turnover（营业额）but also it makes economies of scale possible，thus giving companies a competitive advantage in local markets．But how far do we push the global idea？Should we globalize all aspects of a brand：its name，its creative concept and the product itself？
Global branding suggests the wish to extend all three aspects throughout the world．Rarely，though，is it realistic and profitable to extend all of them．The Mars brand，for instance，is not absolutely global．The Mars chocolate bar is sold as an all-round nutritious snack in the UK and as an energizer in other European regions（different concepts and positioning for the same physical product）．Nestle adapts the taste of its worldwide brands to local Market．The Nescafe（配方）vary worldwide．
Nowhere is globalization more desirable than in sectors that centre on mobility，such as car rental and airline industries．When a brand in these sectors is seen as being international，its authority and expertise are automatically accepted．Companies such as Hertz，Avis and Europcar globalized their advertising campaigns by portraying typical images such as a busy executive（主管）．An Italian businessman will identify more with a hurried businessman who is not Italian than with an Italian who is not a businessman．
The main aim of such global marketing campaigns is not to increase sales but to maximize profitability．For example，instead of bringing out different TV advertisements for each country，a firm can use a single film for one region．The McCann-Erikson agency is proud of the fact that it has saved Coca-Cola﹩90 million over the past 20 years by producing commercials with global appeal．
Social and cultural developments provide a favorable platform for globalization．In an effort to stand out from others，young people seek new models on which to build their identity．They are then open to influence from abroad．When drinking Coca-Cola，we all drink the American myth-fresh，young，dynamic，powerful，all-American images．Nike tells young people everywhere to surpass themselves，to transcend the confines of their race and culture．
Globalization is also made easier when a brand is built around a cultural stereotype（固有印象）．AEG，BOSCH，Siemens，Mercedes and BMW rest secure on the"Made in Germany"model，which opens up the global market since the stereotype goes beyond national boundaries．
People everywhere associate the stereotype with outstanding performance．Barilla is another example：it is built on the classic Italian image of tomato sauce，pasta，a carefree way of life，songs and sun．IKEA furniture epitomizes（成为的典范）Sweden．Lancome expresses the elegance of the French woman．
Certain organization factors ease the shift to a global brand．American firms，for instance，are naturally geared towards globalization because marketing in their huge domestic market already treats America as a single entity despite its social and cultural differences．
Another organizational factor concerns the way US companies first expanded in Europe．Many set up European headquarters，usually based in Brussels or London．From early on Europe was considered a single and homogeneous（同性质的）area．
Finally，a single center of production is also a great advantage．Procter & Gamble centralizes European production of detergents（洗涤剂）in its Amiens factory．This maximizes product standardization and enables innovations to spread to all countries at once，thus giving the company a competitive advantage over local rivals and ensuring the continued growth and success of the brand．

13．We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married，have a baby，then another．Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are．After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with．We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage．
We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse（配偶） gets his or her act together，when we get a nicer car，and are able to go on a nice vacation，when we retire．The truth is，there's no better time than right now．If not now，when？Our life will always be filled with challenges．It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway．
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza．He said，"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life．But there was always some barrier in the way，something to be gotten through first，some unfinished business，time still to be served，a debt to be paid．Then life would begin．At last it dawned onto me that these barriers were my life．"This perspective（看法） has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness．Happiness is the way．So treasure every moment that you have．
And remember that time waits for no one．So stop waiting until you finish school，until you go back to school； until you get married，until you get divorced； until you have kids，until your kids leave home； until you start work，until you retire； until you get a new car or home； until spring； until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy…
Happiness is a journey，not a destination．So，Work like you don't need money．Love like you've never been hurt．And dance like no one's watching．
