Topic：diligence 勤奮的意義
The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of diligence. Definitely, no once can deny the importance of it. diligence enables us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize our dreams more rapidly. The more diligent we are , the more likely we are to accumulate experience, master skills, discover and kill off our shortcomings and create more opportunities. To further illustrate the importance of being diligent, I would like to take Michael Jordan as a case in point: how could he, one of the greatest basketball player throughout the history of mankind who was once deemed unsuitable for playing this game, achieve unprecedented success in NBA?
Accordingly, at no time should we underestimate the power of diligence. Furthermore, when coming with setbacks and bottlenecks, instead of giving up easily, what we must do is to stick to our goals and faith, tell ourselves that all efforts and diligence will be paid off. “good luck appears only when you are diligent enough.” Barack Obama also once said.
這幅漫畫告訴我們勤奮的意義。當然，沒有一次能夠否認它的重要性。勤奮可以使我們更順利地達成目標、更快速地實現夢想。我們越勤奮，我們就越有可能積累經驗，掌握技能，發現並改掉我們的缺點和創造更多的機會。為了進一步説明勤奮的重要性，我想以邁克爾喬丹為例：他怎麼能夠成為一個偉大的籃球運動員，在整個人類歷史上曾經被認為不適合玩這個遊戲，在NBA取得前所未有的成功？
因此，任何時候我們都不能低估勤奮的力量。此外，在遇到挫折和瓶頸的時候，不要輕易放棄，我們必須做的是堅持自己的目標和信念，告訴自己，所有的努力和勤奮會有得到回報的那天。“好運只會出現在你足夠勤奮的時候。”美國總統巴拉克也曾這樣説。
亨利福特 Henry Ford
儘管亨利·福特的名字和大生產的概念相連，但他在勞工保護上得到同樣的讚譽，因為他早在1913年便實行了用今天的標準來衡量依然是先進的標準。 安全措施得到改進，日工作時間從當時普遍的10或12小時減少到8小時。 為了適應更短的日工作時間，整個工廠從雙班變成了三班。
而且，病假和改善了的工傷醫療得以制度化。 福特汽車公司是最早建立技術學校來培訓專門技工和為移民開設英語學校的'工廠之一。 公司甚至為僱傭殘疾人和有前科的人而作出了一些努力。
最受廣泛稱讚的革新是實行五美元一天的最低工資。 其目的是招收和留住那些最好的技工並阻礙工會的發展。 福特從效率和利潤分享的角度來解釋這項新的工資政策。 他也提到這樣一個事實，他的員工可以買他們生產的汽車--這實際上是為其產品另開闢了一個市常 為了夠資格得到最低工資，員工必須建立一個得體的家庭並顯示出良好的個人習慣，包括節制、儉盛勤勉和可靠。 雖然有人批評福特過多地干涉了員工的私人生活，但毫無疑問，在移民們被用惡劣的方式剝削的時代，亨利·福特卻幫助了許多人在美國紮下根來。
although henry ford's name is closely associated with the concept of mass production, he should receive equal credit for introducing labor practices as early as 1913 that would be considered advanced even by today's standards. safety measures were improved, and the work day was reduced to eight hours, compared with the ten-or twelve-hour day common at the time. in order to accommodate the shorter work day, the entire factory was converted from two to three shifts.
in addition, sick leaves as well as improved medical care for those injured on the job were instituted. the ford motor company was one of the first factories to develop a technical school to train specialized skilled laborers and an english language school for immigrants. some efforts were even made to hire the handicapped and provide jobs for former convicts.
the most widely acclaimed innovation was the five-dollar-a-day minimum wage that was offered in order to recruit and retain the best mechanics and to discourage the growth of labor unions. ford explained the new wage policy in terms of efficiency and profit sharing. he also mentioned the fact that his employees would be able to purchase the automobiles that they produced -- in effect creating a market for the product. in order to qualify for the minimum wage, an employee had to establish a decent home and demonstrate good personal habits, including sobriety, thriftiness, industriousness, and dependability. although some criticism was directed at ford for involving himself too much in the personal lives of his employees, there can be no doubt that, at a time when immigrants were being taken advantage of in frightful ways, henry ford was helping many people to establish themselves in america.
雅安市 Ya'an City
There was an earthquake in Ya’an at about 8 o’clock on April 20, 2013. Many houses fell down. 192 people were killed and more than10,000 people were hurt. After the earthquake, the doctors, nurses, firemen and volunteers from all over the country hurried to the scene and tried to cure the survivors. Some businesses donated many things such as clothes, food, water and medicine to the local people. Some pop stars organized charity shows to raise money. The local government took action actively to search for more lost people and helped them out of sadness. I hope the people there can cheer up and rebuild their homes as soon as possible. We must try our best to help them.
2013年4月20日八點，雅安發生了地震。許多房屋倒塌。192人死亡，超過10000人受傷。地震後，各地的醫生、護士、消防隊員和志願者趕到現場，試圖治癒倖存者。有些企業捐贈了許多東西，比如衣服、食品、水和藥品等，給當地人民。一些流行歌星舉辦慈善演出，以籌集資金。當地政府積極採取行動尋找更多失去的人，並幫助他們走出悲傷。我希望那裏的人們能儘快振作起來，儘快重建家園。我們必須盡力幫助他們。
Making plans
制定計劃
The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of making plans. Definitely, no once can deny the importance of it. Making plan will enable us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize their dreams more rapidly. The more detailed plan we make , the more likely we are to make full use of time, enhance our work efficiency make full preparation in advance for unexpected cases. To further demonstrate the importance of making plans, I would like to take CEO as a case in point, how could a CEO, the head and decision-maker of a corporation , deal with all sorts of complicated things smoothly if he fails to draw up a detailed plan for routine work ?
這幅漫畫的目的是告訴我們制定計劃的重要性。肯定，沒有一次可以否認它的重要性。制定計劃將使我們能夠更順利地實現我們的目標，更快速地實現他們的夢想。我們制定的更詳細的計劃，更可能是充分利用時間，提高工作效率，為突發事件提前做好充分的準備。為了進一步證明制定計劃的重要性，我想以首席執行官為例，公司的首席執行官，一個公司的總裁，一個公司的首席決策者，如果他沒有制定一個詳細的日常工作計劃，能順利地處理各種複雜的事情嗎？
Accordingly, on no account should we overlook the power of plans. Furthermore, we should draw up detailed plans before we start to do anything and do things as planned . ““He who fails to plan, plans to fail.” A famous philosopher also once said.
因此，我們不應該忽視計劃的力量。此外，在我們開始做任何事情之前，我們應該制定詳細的計劃，並按計劃做事情。一位著名的哲學家也曾説：“沒有計劃，計劃失敗。”。
