10. Once individual nations have realized that it is realistic for them to make sacrifices to conserve energy, and to take immediate actions, the ultimate beneficiary would undoubtedly be themselves.

　　11. Besides, the difference may, to some extent, stimulate the more experienced and skilled to work better, and the less experienced and skilled to work harder to catch up.

　　12. People come to realize that the many ranks and salary grades which are intended to serve as stimuli or yardsticks of experience and expertise may end up being barriers and doing more harms to both the employees themselves and the corporations they work for.

　　13. It is more of a desire for approval, a sense of duty, a wish to conform to custom, a feeling of emulation and a pleasure in craftsmanship.

　　14. But for good or ill, the conditions that made it possible are vanishing.

　　15. Last but not least, the many ranks and salary grades tend to form boundaries and divisions among employees, which restrict the flow of information.

　　16. And more times than not the overuse and abuse of power and the ambition which drives people to get power have brought more disasters than benefits.

　　17. That would be too ideal, some may argue, and maybe utopian, but in our life, we do have such people whom we call people with integrity.

　　18. We all have power as average people — the power of giving advice to friends, the power of maintaining a happy life and the power of getting power.

　　19. As we know, the highest level of our human needs, if met, renders us a full sense of success.

　　20. He didn’t take the trouble of reading them one by one as everyone else might do, instead, he did it in his own way — erasing them all.

　　21. As far as I am concerned, “to spend your life in your own way” should not only be the only definition of success, but also a motto in my life.

　　22. That is to say, to try to find what your advisees want and understand them, then to give a hand to them both helping them realize what they want and pinpointing their shortcomings in order to enable them to overcome.

　　23. However, we cannot take it for granted that technology changes everything in our life.

　　24. Some people even dreamed of a so-called paperless office.

　　25. Although theoretically the replacement may bring convenience to people and can avoid certain problems, in practice, the recent developments in technology can only change some aspects of the existing monetary system, not the entire one.

　　26. Therefore, knowing that the workplace is not as private as they might think it to be, and that the workplace is not as relaxing and recreational as their private territory, employees should go all their way to keep their private lives and personal activities as separate as possible from the workplace.

　　27. What is less obvious is that the final product is not turned out all of a sudden.

　　28. They view it as an integral part of the company strategy — the strategy for managing each stage of production so as to minimize or eliminate errors.

　　29. Quality control is consciously considered at each stage of the operations process, with the goal of identifying and correcting mistakes as soon as possible, rather than waiting until the end of the operations process to discard or rework those flawed final products.

　　30. So, based on the above discussion, I agree with the opinion that the process of making or doing something in any enterprise is ultimately more important than the final product.

　　31. As a Chinese proverb goes, “One point of beauty can hide a hundred points of ugliness”. People usually think that a person’s greatness in a certain field can make his or her failings as a human being neglectable.

　　32. And also people tend to be generously tolerant of the failings of those achievers in different fields, just as another Chinese proverb goes, “Those who are good at this must be weak at that”.

　　33. As we know, “pride” can lead to backwardness; “covetousness” instigates people to grasp all but end up losing all.

　　34. Secondly, the greatness achieved by those people with failings as a human being may not last very long, especially the greatness achieved through inappropriate means, such as corruption in politics, unjustifiable competition in business and even unlawful behaviors in the society etc.

　　35. If not given enough emphasis, such failings can put an end to all their greatness and even and end to themselves.

　　36. In Alvin Toffler’s terms, the whole world is being swept by the Third Wave — information revolution, which is directly or indirectly based on knowledge.

　　37. But the theory may only be practical in an ideal society in which people won’t suffer any problem such as poverty, violence and war.

　　38. This experience tells me two sides of the coin. On the one side, the government may give a thousand reasons for cutting down the trees. It is urban construction. On the other side, people should be educated. They should know that cutting down trees is a crime of violation their living environment. And the education task should be done by the government.

　　39. Now, the old command-and-control environment that existed when the world wasn’t moving so fast really has to be changed.

　　40. However, in practice, the system is widely abused. Worse still, a number of children are exploring the Internet’s adult materials, and the number is on the rise.

　　41. It is like the way everyone of us is subject to the influence of the environment, children of different nations are all possible to be affected by the adult materials on the Internet, because the Internet is as widespread as the environment and because the problems of childern’s access to the adult materials on the Internet are just as serious as the global environmental problems.
