Honor your customer. The Internet lets your customers sound off and tell you exactly what they like or don't like about your business. Listen to them.

Matters of the heart: Soap operas are fun to watch on TV, but they're not fun to live.

Avoid the drama and gossip and keep your salary to yourself. - 所享特权:正如薪资,别让别人知道你对上流人士令人又羡又忌的吸引力。虽然有幸认识有权势的公司老闆和社交花蝴蝶,夸耀他们给的好处只会有损形象。

Although you have the good fortune to know powerful business leaders and social butterflies, bragging about how many doors they've opened for you will tarnish your image. - “她还说她男友并不快乐,因为她6岁大的儿子每晚都跟他们一起睡,而且他们只交往几个礼拜而已。”玛西回忆道。想当然尔,介绍所为找到一个可以安顿她的职位而大费苦心,因为她是一位不懂如何藏起私人想法的高风险雇员

It may be difficult, but in troubled times, researchers say, people need to take comfort from life' s simplest pleasures.In a small study at the University of Rochester School of Medicine, Dr. O. J. Sahler found that bone-marrow transplant patients who listened to music reported less pain and nausea, and their transplants took less time to become functional. And, yes, laughter may be good medicine, too. Dr. Lee Berk, of the Loma Linda University School of Public Health, discovered that a group of students who watched a comic video for an hour had marked reductions in epinephrine and cortisol levels.
