誰不愛漂亮？跟上網有什麼關係？

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 16:25:20 GMT

昨(22)日發佈的「「2012台灣青少兒網路使用與自我形象調查報告」，結論指出「青少兒週間、週末上網時間愈長，其愈看重外貌導向的個人形象。愈晚時間上網亦然。」而其原因在於腦力不濟、「缺少與家長的討論互動，也容易採取網路內容霸權導向的方式，解讀網路內容」。但事實上，這份研究對於數據錯誤解讀造成的負面影響遠比議題本身要嚴重，且就專業的研究方法角度看，這份研究本身恐怕就大有問題。

《江湖本色3》電影等級的暴力美學

Thu, 08 Mar 2012 15:19:27 GMT

根據現場試玩的情形來看，就算白色條棒短到只有一點點，也能夠發動約四、五秒子彈時間，這樣的長度對於在兩個掩蔽物之間進行「空中躍起射擊」(Shootdodge)已經足夠，而如果是很豪氣地直接走向敵人射擊，只要技術不要太差，這點時間也足夠殺敵兩、三人，更何況如果你已累積了夠用的能量。

《天堂島3》來選香蕉共和國總統

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:56:34 GMT

極具拉丁美洲色彩的「香蕉共和國」：四季如春的熱帶島嶼，咖啡、雪茄或糖是重要的經濟作物，政治非常不穩定，黨派眾多，抗議、暴動與革命不斷，而執政者一定都貪得無厭，反對派永遠義正辭嚴。而玩家就在海島風情、西班牙式英語與特色強烈的拉丁音樂聲中，邊high邊玩下去，娛樂感十足。

Cole Phelps，悲劇英雄與他的「朋友」

Thu, 24 Nov 2011 16:36:12 GMT

由Rockstar Games發行的《黑色洛城》(L.A. Noire)，迥異於該公司過去發行多是以幫派、法外之徒為主角的冒險遊戲，玩家得以從警探辦案角度出發，嘗試擔任一個正派角色──Cole Phelps。這位在遊戲中辦案績效良好，被喻為「金童」的新生代警探與戰爭英雄，背後卻有著不為外人想像的痛苦人生，外界對他的褒或貶都流於浮面印象，即使對他遭遇最瞭解的戰友Jack Kelso，最多也只能說是個心情垃圾桶及療癒系的微笑小花。

Herschel很關心Jack目前的狀況，因為Jack目前音訊全無，警方也發了APB全境通報找他，不過我不擔心，因為Jack有兩下子，不會那麼容易被抓。Elysian Fields交給Jack料理，我們接下來應該鎖定像Dr. Fontaine（方登醫生）等其他傢伙，Herschel說這樣我們一定會被局裡給掐死，但現在已到了關鍵時刻，Jack破釜沉舟，我們要在另一邊幫他。話說一半，突然不遠處傳來猛烈的爆炸，一朵蕈狀雲升起，Herschel有點驚魂未定說這是老共做的嗎？是俄國佬丟氫彈嗎？

三代人的他和她

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:29:00 GMT

三代人的他和她

20个月前，我翻译了一段歌词。

这段歌词出自陈慧琳演唱的《Love Paradise》。这首歌在一场特殊的婚礼里不停地播放。新郎要将这首歌献给自己深爱的新娘。

只是这场婚礼举办的地点跟平常婚礼不一样，是在漳州的殡仪馆里。新娘躺在冰冷的棺椁里。她听不见新郎为她唱的任何歌曲。

新郎和新娘相恋了3年，刚开始新娘家里反对他们在一起。但新郎的诚心还是打动新娘的家人。

但所有不幸的事在他们举行婚礼的8天前发生了。

当日，两名劫匪以租房为名，对新娘实施入室抢劫，并连捅了她8刀。新娘就再也没有醒来。但新郎坚守了承诺，正式迎娶她进门，让她成为他真正的妻子……

那是一场没有欢笑的婚礼。婚礼的结束是葬礼的开始。新郎从岳父手中接过的是妻子冰冷的双手，从此开始一个人的婚后生活。

这名新郎叫庄华贵，新娘名字是卢燕娥。

他们都是80后，他们的爱情悲情中带着点坚定。

16个月前，我到了泉州湾的一座无人岛。

这座岛叫大坠岛，很受驴友的欢迎，这里的海很美。

我在岛上遇见了一对夫妻，到现在，他们已在岛上生活了33年。

1978年，这对夫妻从大陆泛舟过海，到了这座无人岛。当时，他们也不曾想过他们会在这座小岛上一直生活到今天。

当年，女子得了一种怪病，很怕听到声音，每次稍微遇上一丁点大的声音，都会突然晕厥。当时医生说，这种病很难用药控制，得找个安静的地方休养。

男子就四处打听，终于找到了这个无人岛。当时，他们就把孩子留在了家里，让父母亲带。

没有井，就喝山泉水；没有电，就点煤油灯；没有菜，就开荒种菜；没肉，就下海捕鱼；没有床，就自己动手做木工……

就这样子，他们在岛上生活了33年，而女子的病竟然奇迹般地好了。只是，他们不曾想过离开小岛。

男子说，有没有来世不重要，重要的是过好现在。女子则说，我们没什么钱，也没大房子住，但我们很快乐，因为我们有爱。

这名男子叫蔡永昌，女子姓谢，不肯透露名字。

他们都出生于上世纪50年代，他们的爱很真实也很舍得付出。

12个月前，我在福州街头闲逛。

走在秋风中，看见路边有一对老夫妻。老爷爷坐在椅子上，他的爱人戴着老花镜，正在帮他理发。

他们俩结婚近60年，虽然也经常吵架，但他们的生活却谁也离不开谁。

1954年，老爷爷和老奶奶经人介绍相识，并结婚了。当时他们很穷，结婚时没有婚礼也没有喜酒，只有几颗糖果和一声：“我们结婚了。”

结婚后的每个早晨，老爷爷在起床后都会叠好被子。夜幕降临后，老爷爷都会把床铺得整整齐齐，等候老奶奶。

老奶奶说，换过了好多张床，有那种会咯吱咯吱响的毛竹床，也有用木板临时拼起来的床，但老爷爷总有办法让床变得更加牢固，不会发出声响，“别的没什么，就是这张床好，睡得踏实。”

老奶奶为了贴补家用则学会理发，并给老爷爷理发。而这一理便是50多年。

老爷爷说，不管他工作怎么调动，唯一不变的是，老奶奶都会陪着他，为他理发。

老奶奶说，她会一直帮老爷爷理发至眼睛看不见。

老爷爷的名字叫徐万龄，老奶奶的名字是：韦秀兰。

他们出生在内忧外患的上世纪20年代，他们的爱很简单但却很浓郁。

遇见这三对夫妻的时间间隔刚好都是4个月左右，他们的出生年代也刚好相隔30年左右。

他们都很相爱，虽然他们相爱的方式都不一样。或许轰轰烈烈，或平平淡淡，但他们都愿意为彼此付出。

在爱情速食的时代，他们美丽的爱情，总会感动着些许人。他们都是平凡的人，他们却告诉我们，只有愿意付出才能得到真爱。

某一天，我騎著鐵馬

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 18:26:52 GMT

某一天，我騎著腳踏車經過學校操場。正好騎過某個從游泳池走出來的男同學身旁，而他正在講手機。
而且講話音量不是普通大聲，簡直就像是在宣告世界終結一樣的大喊著。
我自然是不想聽也得聽。而以下是他的第一句話。

"欸欸你聽我說，剛剛在泳池裡面遇到的原住民的小女孩好可愛喔(心)！"

啥!?蓋亞!?

"而且年紀大概才小二還小三而已，好可愛喔！"

不不不，這可是以純樸著稱的花蓮地區，我一定是太勞累聽錯...

"阿阿阿～好想帶一隻回家由我來飼養喔，哈阿哈阿(喘)～"

快來人報警阿，這邊有一個好危險的怪叔叔在阿。阿，我也在這邊。不對，我不是怪叔叔阿!!

"而且還是阿美族的，哈哈，有機會我也想生一個呢(心)。"

快點逃阿!!小蘿莉；快點逃阿!!阿美族的女性同胞，這個男人完全就是瞄準你們的遺傳因子而來的阿!!
媽的你到底是有多想中出原住民朋友阿，你想要當個徹底的偷心壞男人就算了，最少把小孩也留下來吧!!
簡直就是完美貫徹物種變異性的最佳基因竊取者阿!!

之後，我邊在心中全力吐槽邊往前騎，連回頭都不敢回頭，就此離他遠去。

某一天，我騎著腳踏車經過某個男人；某一天，我心中這麼吐槽著；某一天，我好餓，徑直騎到港龍吃叉燒了。

沒料到，我會因為這種無法找人宣洩這件事情而跑上來PO這麼無聊的文章，完畢。

上過戰場後，似乎什麼事都可以不在乎，都可以無動於衷，直到今日。日軍偷襲珍珠港，對我們國人來說是難以想像，難以想像美國本土發生戰爭。可是今天，當我看到眼前的景象，不得不說這是我在沖繩戰役親眼所見的翻版，那麼對於其他人來說，應該就像是剛從床上睡醒，穿著睡衣就突然被丟進戰場，那樣的驚愕、那樣地恐懼。

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 17:37:18 GMT

我到Wilshire分局的縱火組報到，在十二月受審查委員會調查之前，我都會在這兒。我可以感受到周圍充滿了嘲笑與不屑的氣氛，或是問我跟德國女人是怎麼玩的。我想，這大概就是Roy Earle怎麼看待黑人的樣子。McKelty隊長雖然制止了別人對我的揶揄，但也指著我的鼻子叫我別再惹麻煩，只要像過去一樣把案子都辦好。隊長把我跟Herschel Biggs編在一組，而Biggs馬上站起來推卻，說他從來也不需要搭擋，不過隊長並沒有理他。隊長分派了兩個住宅失火的案子，便把我們趕了出去。

《黑色洛城》破案筆記：天命(Manifest Destiny)

Sun, 16 Oct 2011 16:27:17 GMT

在例行的會報中，Colmyer隊長交給我們一件槍戰案。這應該是重案組的事吧？隊長說在死掉的傢伙口袋裡找到軍用嗎啡，Roy說我們已經全部清除乾淨了，此時隊長緩緩地走過來說，帕薩迪納有位法官「睡了很長很長一覺」，他還私藏了20管軍用嗎啡，很顯然我們還沒有把貨清乾淨，而且還是一名法官出狀況，這很嚴重，Roy說，每個人都有弱點，即使是我。Roy你是在暗示什麼？

An Insider’s Look at the Big 4 Ranking, Compensati

Sat, 08 Oct 2011 08:54:40 GMT

http://www.pagepersonnel.com.hk

Authors Note: This post is purely based on personal experience with PricewaterhouseCoopers. Though it is likely that this system is used at the other Big 4 accounting firms, this my not necessarily be the case at Deloitte, Ernst & Young and KPMG.

The Big 4 employ an “up or out” mentality, meaning that staff are either promoted each year or asked to leave the firm. While this is something you are not likely to come across in your recruiting experience, this is generally good news for employees. If you take your career seriously and work hard, there is a very good chance that your roles and responsibilities (and pay) will grow with each year of Big 4 accounting. This is a major benefit of the Big 4 as opposed to, say, a staff accounting position in industry.

PricewaterhouseCoopers uses a 4 tiered rating system to rank and compare each “class” of staff. When you come into the firm you are filed into a “class” with those who start at around the same time as you. Much like school, you and your class will progress through the firms ranks at roughly the same pace. Before we discuss this further, here is a brief refresher on the firm hierarchy. For those of you interviewing for an experienced position, this will help you determine which level you will come in at.

Intern - Typically a college student who has just completed their junior year or, in the case of Masters candidates, just completed their senior year of college.

First year Associate - This is the rank that college grads come into the firm as. Known as “new hires” for the first few months or so, and then “first years” for the remainder of the year. This level is targeted most heavily by the firms’ campus recruiting program. How much do Big 4 associates make? These positions typically have a very competitive starting salary. Check out THIS POST for specific info on salaries and compensation:

Experienced Associate - After your first year, or in some cases after your first busy season, you will become an “experienced associate.” This is not technically a promotion, but rather an indicator of rank. Many offices have an annual promotion day. On this day, every staff member who is eligible for a promotion or a move up in the ranks is officially given their new title. It is common to spend two years as an Experienced Associate before moving on to the Senior level.

Senior Associate - After spending two years at the Experienced Associate level staff are likely to be promoted to Senior Associate. This is the first change in rank that is considered an actual “promotion.” Accordingly, candidates are expected to meet predetermined criteria and performance metrics to achieve the promotion. The ranking system, which I will discuss below, comes into play here. It should be noted that some staff are promoted to Senior after only one year at the Experienced level. This is uncommon but, due to the specific office/ team needs or in the case of exceptional performance, it does happen. Seniors are responsible for running audit engagements on the front lines. It is widely considered that seniors bare the toughest work load due to the fact that they are responsible for performing the most difficult front line audit work and reviewing nearly all of the work done by first-years and experienced associates. This is the level at which many staff leave for the sparkling positions open to them in industry with a Big 4 resume.

Manager - After working as a Senior Associate for two - three years, the next promotion is Manager. (Note: Some make the designation of “Second Year Senior” or “Experienced Senior” prior to Manager). At this point, Managers will have had roughly five to six years with the firm. There is a major increase in salary at this point. At this level it is likely that managers will begin to seriously consider the “Partner track.” Managers are not in the field nearly as much as seniors and, as the name implies, take on a far greater managerial role.

Senior Manager - Senior managers are really Partners in training. By this point Big 4 public accounting has become a career. While many view the Big 4 as a launching pad for their career, Senior Managers view the Big 4 as a career in itself. Because Senior Managers are able to leave the firm and hand pick their dream job in industry, the compensation at this level is extraordinary.

Partner - This is the highest level attainable in Big 4 accounting firms. Partners have a vested interest in the firm and buy into the partnership. What is the life of a partner like? A salary of at least $Million, a reputation as a trusted member of the elite business community and a American Express Black card, and much more. You are the best of the best.

Stay tuned. In the next post we will examine the ranking system used by the Big 4 firms.

3 Ways Social Media Affects Your Business Even If

Sat, 24 Sep 2011 09:42:28 GMT

3 Ways Social Media Affects Your Business Even If You Don't "Do" Social Media - Marketing Coordinators

http://www.pagepersonnel.com.hk

When I come across people and companies who claim that they don't "do" social media, I have to stop myself from saying that whether they like it or not, it still affects things that they already "do." Even if your company doesn't participate in Facebook or Twitter, the following are three ways that social media affects how others view your business:

1. The company website

About Page. This is the most important page of your website. People will skip right over the home page and head to your About page. And, nothing is more disappointing than an About page with bland corporate speak and nary a photo of the people behind the company. While this used to work prior to 2010, audiences expect to see you and be able to gain some insight into your company's personality.
Contact Us. This is the second most important page of your site. On most sites built prior to social media, the only way to contact a company is through a form. That works, especially if your company receives a lot of general questions. But, in a transparent social media environment, a contact form feels a little too impersonal. Why not also give people who took the time to visit your site more options about how to interact with you going forward? This can easily be done by encouraging them to follow you on Twitter, visit your Facebook fan page or check out your blog. Individuals at companies can even put links to their public LinkedIn profile.

2. E-newsletters

If you rely on e-newsletters to communicate with your clients/prospective clients, you've probably noticed that open rates are down and unsubscribe, blocks and "non-existent addresses" are up. This is due to several reasons:

Increased use of overzealous spam filters.
People being overloaded with e-newsletters.
A tumultuous job market means that contacts registered under a company email, could be forever lost as subscribers if they are laid off or switch jobs.
Many people are viewing emails on smartphones, which are not good for e-newsletters.
People want the information delivered to them on their schedule, not yours.

Social media (i.e. Blogs, Twitter and Facebook) allows individuals to get the information they want, when they want it and how they want it. While e-newsletters aren't going away in the near future (just like email and telephones won't) smart businesses are using social media to connect with clients who they might not be able to reach any other way. In addition, you can get more bang for your e-newsletter buck by linking to it from your social media accounts and including share buttons within the email.

3. Business Directories

When was the last time you opened a phone book? They are virtually irrelevant, yet the same companies who used to spend on Yellow Page ads won't take the time to list their website and contact information on Google maps/places and other prevalent online directories.

Today, Google maps is much more than driving directions. Today you can find contact info and even reviews on any business you want by just typing in the name or type of business and the general location. For example, try doing a search on Google maps for a type of restaurant or retail business in your town (i.e. a sushi restaurant or a plumber).

Based on the results, you might be inclined to pick the first listed, which likely has the most reviews and specials.

Still think social media doesn't affect every business?

3 Tips to Stand in Your Power With Your Pricing -

3 Tips to Stand in Your Power With Your Pricing - Marketing Coordinators

http://www.pagepersonnel.com.hk

Do you discount your services to be loving to your clients?

If you are a soul-based woman in business, then you have likely met that "soft-spot" in your heart for clients who just can't seem to afford your products or services, and have offered them a discount. Sometimes, before they even ask for one.

Studies show that women are FIVE TIMES more likely than men to offer discounts on their services. I'm not surprised since women tend to do business from the heart whereas our male counterparts are more into straight logic.

The sad truth, however, is that we are NOT showing our clients love by discounting our services. We are de-valuing ourselves because of our own fear of rejection, and disempowering our clients by treating them like children that need to be rescued.

And as a woman entrepreneur, growing your business is dependent upon you charging what you are worth, and having a roster of clients who are lining up to pay you what you are worth time and time again.

So, what's a woman with the divine feminine gift of being a nurturer, to do when she wants to "rescue" her clients from their money drama, but doesn't want to compromise her growth by shortchanging herself by discounting her services?

Sit tight and hold on for the ride...I'm about to share three tips with you that will have you confidently stepping into your power with your pricing, and the permission to charge what your worth and confidently receive it.

Tip #1

You Do Not Have the Right to Decide What Anyone Else Can Pay

When I was first growing my business, every decision I made came from fear of getting (or not getting) the client. My pricing was competitive but I was always quick to discount and offer "special deals" when I sensed someone couldn't afford the investment.

Once I realized this fear was out of my own fear of rejection, I was able to see my clients as magnificent beings, that if they wanted what I was offering, they would make it happen - and they always did!

Tip # 2

Discounting Disempowers Your Clients

The truth is that people value what they pay for. By discounting your services, people will not experience the full transformation that they would have received by making the full investment.

Do not confuse discounting with love! Don't get me wrong, it's great to love your clients, I love mine very much, but instead of discounting, give them your best service, a shorter time frame, or a stronger guarantee. Your goal is to to INCREASE your value, not DECREASE your fee.

Tip #3

If Money is an Issue for your Client, Create an Appealing Counter Offer

I really get it...you really love your clients, so you will want nothing to stand in their way in order for them to experience your "special magic" that will transform their lives. There is always a possibility for them to experience your unique brand of transformation through an easy payment plan option. Don't be shy about bringing this up if they can't afford your initial fee up front. Just don't stretch the payments out for too long.

Standing in your Power with Money is a Major Healing Process

It takes commitment, compassion, and most of all, courage. The greater your mission and your willingness to face these old wounds head-on (like the fear of rejection mentioned above) the sooner you can relax and begin to enjoy the unfolding of your business while watching your income soar. In the meantime, stand strong in your commitment to your clients, and don't let the fear of rejection hold you back from charging what you are worth and gracefully receiving it!

The Phonetic Alphabet

I recall my children learning the phonetic alphabet at school and I remember reading stories to my daughter all about Annie Apple and Naughty Nick and his lost nails.

Great fun and a useful tip when getting people's names from the gatekeeper is to write the difficult ones down phonetically rather than literally. Type this into your CRM system so when you get to talk to them, you're able to say their name perfectly.

Spell it as it is said, is the key.

A short tip that'll pay you big dividends when you get to pronounce the name of a prospect when everyone else gets it wrong.

Ask for their help

For most salespeople, if not all of us, being nice to people is second nature and something that gives us plenty of pleasure. So being extremely nice to the gatekeeper should come naturally to us.

The problem is we know they have been created to fob us off as their boss doesn't want any sales calls.

And this puts us on our guard and we leave ourselves to the mercy of the gatekeeper's generosity.

The simple answer is to be very nice to them and ask them for their help. People can't resist helping.

"Hello I need your help...?" "What's the best time to reach Bob?" "Hello, can you help me please to get a message through to Bob?"

Are just some ways that you can ask for help to get through to your prospect.

And remember to ask their name and remember it for next time.

Sound Important

A UCLA survey showed that on the telephone a massive 84% of the message and meaning is derived purely from your voice. This fact deserves a book in its own right but for now I'm asking that you sound important so you can get through the gatekeeper.

Important people have deeper voices and say things in shorter sentences. Their tone of voice falls at the end of each sentence to accentuate their importance and they leave lots of pauses.

And most people when faced with someone who sounds ever so important will put you through without hesitation. Try it, its fun as well.

"Hello, Paul Archer here, CEO Archer Training. Mike Brown please."

Said in the right way will have many gatekeepers reaching for the transfer button.

Paul is an international speaker, sales trainer, author and coach based in the UK. His expertise and experience is in selling and sales coaching, his books and articles focus on rapport selling which puts the customer at the heart of the sale.
