35、st and primary labor of achievement.My friend Mike Litman wrote an outstanding article this week.

36、What did I see next to his desk? His vision statement, along with a list of what he values in life hand written.“A few months back, I interviewed an individual who has sold over a billion dollars worth of products on television.

38、t support that purpose?Without purpose and goals definitely directed thought you are like the proverbial “ship without a rudder (舵).” There is power in your purpose and in your goals.

43、ase with developed countries, China faces an aging society. People are living longer and having fewer children. Therefore many Chinese families are falling into a 4-2-1 family pattern: a couple raises one child and supports four elderly parents. But few realize this problem.The aging of the populati

Not long ago, the Information Office of the State Council, Chinas cabinet, issued a white paper on measures China is taking to help its elderly population.
