Corporate Social Responsibility It's not easy to confirm whether companies ought to take social responsibility, which is based on corporate culture, marketing approach and enterprise scale. In my mind, a company should firstly ensure that they pay their employees well and provide safe labor conditions, pay their taxes and follow the laws of the county as well. Once the company makes a steady development and earns the extra benefits excluding the total costs, the board ought to consider CSR. Generally, CSR is a divisive issue. Some shareholders are convinced that CSR is a good idea for a publicity stunt. Some of them think CSR is a waste of money, and that a company's only responsibility is to itself and its shareholders. I believe companies have a moral responsibility to give back to society. Not only does it benefit your employees to build a correct outlook of life and values, but it's also good for a company's image. In addition, this kind of investment will cost lesser than an advertisement for a television. When a company regards charitable actions as a part of corporate development, it becomes really successful.

Green business Nowadays, more and more people are aware of the importance of protecting our environment like using renewable sources of energy, or buying green products. Some have established a green business or do their part to conserve natural resources. In my personal point of view, a green business is a company that manufactures environmentally friendly products that are organic, recycled and biodegradable, including food, paper products or packaging. However, there may be another explanation: a green business is a company that holds a value ideal of Eco ethics. For instance, using wind power or solar panels to support daily electric energy, advocating choosing electric cars over gasoline cars, furnishing the office or making copies. In fact, people are increasingly attracted to the concept of sustainability. It's beyond question, I like green products, but I don't go out of my way to buy them. To be honest, green products are usually expensive, sometimes it's difficult to find a truly green product. Some businesses claim to be green or sell green products even though their practices and materials have no environmentally friendly qualities. In doing so, they sacrifice ethics for profit. For me, I am trying to pick the recycled and biodegradable products, such as stainless steel water bottles, reusable sandwich wrappers and biodegradable lubricants. I believe the prospects for green business are becoming brighter.

Traits and habits of a successful person I admire It's not easy to define what success means. The majority of people think a successful person would be very resilient, proactive and innovative. In my mind, there is no one in the world I admire more than my grandfather, Jack Sun (alias). Before he retired, Jack was well-known as a president for a state-owned enterprise for fifteen years. He always spoke confidently and clearly without any paper while he gave a speech in front of the thousands of employees. And no matter what happened, he came up with great solutions to problems all the time. Again, he bounces back from adversity. I remember grandpa was grieving as one of my uncles died of a heart attack brought on by diabetes. Nevertheless, recharging his batteries soon, grandpa knew that the most important thing was to take care of his grandchild with great education. He is so resilient and kindhearted. Once I asked my grandpa, 'why are you concerned about so many things, you help grandchildren and more. You are old and retired, you are supposed to enjoy your life, like traveling, reading and jogging. Everyone should be independent, grandchildren has any trouble, he can deal with by himself or his parents may give a favor to their children.' Unbelievable, my grandpa said, 'I help my grandchildren, in the meantime, I have helped my sons.' At that moment, I completely realized about that. What a slow-witted girl. Unfortunately, grandpa has been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for several years, even although he's not able to recognize me. However, I still love to talk to him about the past funny things and enjoy this moment of happiness.

Office politics Office politics I was acutely aware of the importance of the office politics while the most of my colleagues thought I was a workaholic and I never smiled at them. Initially, I was refusing to accept the incredible remarks. By contrast, I was proud of my talent and abilities as I could deal with tough matters effectively at all times. Afterwards, I was able to understand why they would say that. I had to admit that I am somewhat arrogant and bigheaded, indeed, I was focused on work without developing a good relationship with my coworkers. I can't wait to change this sort of status. I find a mentor, Elizabeth, is an expert at office politics. If you'd like to get respect, you should be respectful to your colleagues. Firstly, don't humiliate or attack your colleagues, and be careful not to make enemies. You should learn to accept and forgive their mistakes. What goes around comes around. Secondly, do nice things for people when the opportunities comes up. Be supportive of your coworkers, and they will support you. Also, develop good relationships with high levels. He or she can advocate for you when you are considered for a promotion. Once I heard these resultful advice, I was so thrilled. Perhaps I am rational without sufficient EQ. Nevertheless, I am trying to change my behavior and get along well with others. Script a wonderful life.

Transition of the clothing industry In the latest two years, the whole clothing industry has decreased dramatically. I am not sure if our company would exist for next five years according to the economic development situation. In order to achieve our goals to increase profits by 20 percent this year, we need to restructure our departments and build an executive team. First off, the company is separated into five main business units. We could hold a vote on the director of each department this Friday. Meanwhile, the final results should be decided by the board. Next month Ms. Kelly Sun should be VP who could directly answer to the president. We could relocate our domestic distribution center to Beijing in May, which could be managed by the VP temporarily. In order to build an executive team, new directors should discover the excellence of each team member. Some people should to be encouraged, not criticized. When a project is created, the team's creativity should be promoted and incorporate employees' best ideas. We could plant the seed of excitement to motivate people to work together. Employees should make a commitment to succeed. It is extremely necessary to make sure everyone's on the same page. With regards to the internal and external threats to our company, I'd like to hear everyone's opinion.

Manners and etiquette in my country In my country, even in this day and age, traditional etiquette still remains. For instance, if an elderly person gets on the bus or a woman holds a baby with her arms, you should offer your seat. When you are invited to a private home for dinner, it might be nice to bring a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates for your hostess, it's not proper to bring an expensive gift, which leads to be embarrassing to the hostess. In my childhood, my grandfather had taught me the rules of polite behavior. Wash your hands before dinner. No talking at the dinner table. No talking with your mouth full! It's inappropriate to leave food on your plate. Of course, it's perfectly acceptable to ask for more food. Forbidden bad manners! No smoking! No stealing! No bad words! To be honest forever! When I grow up, I find who I am trained by grandfather. I appreciate him, really. Because I realize what a great happiness to be a good honest person!

Media huge change Time flies, the world has changed dramatically over the past few decades. In the early '90s, my father purchased a black-and-white TV set without a remote control, what's more, I used to change the channel by my hand. At that time, the TV was unique and not all of the families owned it. The most interesting thing was we sat together to watch plenty of HK TV dramas. It seemed to be funny! Right? When I was growing up, I was getting lost in some fiction printed on paper, particularly romance novels. Afterwards, I went to college far away from home, I called my parents using public telephone, so that goes way back. Nowadays, everything is digital. There are many kinds of media in the modern world. Information is everywhere. Modern communications media has totally changed my life. I read on my smartphone, my tablet, my notebook and desktop computer. I can carry lots of books on one small device. Right now, I've got several things to read on my tablet: English fairy tales, English learning program, newspapers and magazines with healthy recipes, furthermore, I could write and post my texts on demand media, which I can access anytime, anywhere. How convenient! What an amazing world! No one knows what tomorrow will bring, but we each have the power to control how we handle today. Cherish the present one.

My career path I graduated from college with a major in fashion design. I was really lucky to find my first job as a personal assistant to design director in a clothing company. But after three years, the bubble burst and the clothing market fell drastically. I had to quit my job. Subsequently, I'd been working in sales at BMW AG and got promoted quickly. I found I had some gift for sales. I advanced from salesman to marketing executive in two years. Following impressive sales performance, I bought my first apartment as a present for my mom, in the meantime, the clothing market turned around gradually. Frankly, I was thinking about running my own clothing business, which was the biggest dream in the depths of my heart. I suppose I'd find a partner and look into the whole marketing. Before starting a new life, I was going to have a trip to Europe with my whole family. The process of pursuing happiness is such exciting.
