MatchingMatching第29页/共98页Background Information Michael Jordan (1963- ): American professional basketball player, considered by many to be the greatest player in basketball history. The 6 ft 6 in (198cm) shooting guard first became known as an explosive individual scorer, but as he matured as a player he adopted a more team-oriented approach to the game. Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six National Basketball Association (NBA) championships (1991-1993, 1996-1998). His widespread appeal to fans has helped keep basketball one of the worlds most popular spectator sports.第30页/共98页Background Information John Michael Landy (1930- ): Australian athlete, and the second runner, after Englands Sir Roger Bannister, to break the four-minute mile. He did so in 3 minutes 58 seconds in 1954, two months after Bannister set his mark. 第31页/共98页Background Information Sir Roger Bannister (1929-?): British physician and the first athlete in history to run a mile in less than 4 min. At a meet in Oxford on May 6,1954, Bannister ran the mile in 3 min 59.4 sec, establishing a world record. This was bettered less than two months later by the Australian athlete John Landy, who set a record of 3 min 58 sec. Bannister defeated Landy in a mile race held at Vancouver, Canada, in August 1954. 第32页/共98页Background Information The New York Marathon: the largest running event in the U.S., annually attracting 30,000 or more entrants in a race through the five boroughs.第33页/共98页Get the Job You Want I run a manufacturing company with about 350 employees, and I often do the interviewing and hiring myself. I like talking to potential salespeople, because theyre our link to customers. When a recent college graduate came into my office not too long ago looking for a sales job, I asked him what he had done to prepare for the interview. He said hed read something about us somewhere.第34页/共98页 Had he called anyone at Mackay Envelope Corporation to find out more about us? No. Had he called our suppliers? Our customers? No. Had he checked with his university to see if there were any graduates working at Mackay whom he could interview? Had he asked any friends to grill him in a mock interview? Did he go to the library to find newspaper clippings on us?第35页/共98页 Did he write a letter beforehand to tell us about himself, what he was doing to prepare for the interview and why hed be right for the job? Was he planning to follow up the interview with another letter indicating his eagerness to join us? Would the letter be in our hands within 24 hours of the meeting, possibly even hand-delivered? The answer to every question was the same: no. That left me with only one other question: How well prepared would this person be if he were to call on a prospective customer for us? I already knew the answer.第36页/共98页 As I see it, there are four keys to getting hired: 1. Prepare to win. “If you miss one day of practice, you notice the difference,” the saying goes among musicians. “If you miss two days of practice, the critics notice the difference. If you miss three days of practice, the audience notices the difference.” When we watch a world-class musician or a top athlete, we dont see the years of preparation that enabled him or her to become great. The Michael Jordans of the world have talent, yes, but theyre also the first第37页/共98页ones on and the last ones off the basketball court. The same preparation applies in every form of human endeavor. If you want the job, you have to prepare to win it. When I graduated from college, the odds were good that I would have the same job for the rest of my life. And thats how it worked out. But getting hired is no longer a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Employment experts believe that todays graduates could face as many as ten job changes during their careers.第38页/共98页 That may sound like a lot of pressure. But if youre prepared, the pressure is on the other folks the ones who havent done their homework. You wont get every job you go after. The best salespeople dont close every sale. Michael Jordan makes barely half of his field-goal attempts. But it takes no longer to prepare well for one interview than to wander in half-prepared for five. And your prospects for success will be many times better.第39页/共98页 2. Never stop learning. Recently I played a doubles tennis match paired with a 90-year-old. I wondered how things would work out; I shouldnt have. We hammered our opponents 6-1, 6-1! As we were switching sides to play a third set, he said to me, “Do you mind if I play the backhand court? I always like to work on my weaknesses.” What a fantastic example of a person who has never stopped learning. Incidentally, we won the third set 6-1.第40页/共98页 As we walked off the court, my 90-year-old partner chuckled and said, “I thought youd like to know about my number-one ranking in doubles in the United States in my age bracket, 85 and up!” He wasnt thinking 90; he wasnt even thinking 85. He was thinking number one. You can do the same if you work on your weaknesses and develop your strengths. To be able to compete, youve got to keep learning all your life.第41页/共98页 3. Believe in yourself, even when no one else does. Do you remember the four-minute mile? Athletes had been trying to do it for hundreds of years and finally decided it was physically impossible for humans. Our bone structure was all wrong, our lung power inadequate. Then one human proved the experts wrong. And, miracle of miracles, six weeks after Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile, John Landy beat Bannisters time by nearly two full seconds. Since then, close to eight hundred runners have broken the four-minute mile!第42页/共98页 Several years ago my daughter Mimi and I took a crack at running the New York Marathon. At the gun, 23,000 runners started and 21,244 finished. First place went to a Kenyan who completed the race in two hours, 11 minutes and one second. The 21,244th runner to finish was a Vietnam veteran. He did it in three days, nine hourshours and 37 minutes. With no legs, he covered 26.2 miles. After my daughter and I passed him in the first few minutes, we easily found more courage to finish ourselves.第43页/共98页 Dont ever let anyone tell you that you cant accomplish your goals. Who says youre not tougher, harder working and more able than your competition? You see, a goal is a dream with a deadline: in writing, measurable, identifiable, attainable. 4. Find a way to make a difference. In my opinion, the majority of New York cabdrivers are unfriendly, if not downright rude. Most of the cabs are filthy, and almost all of them sport an impenetrable, bulletproof partition. But recently I jumped into a cab at LaGuardia Airport and guess what? It was clean. There was beautiful music playing and no partition.第44页/共98页 “Park Lane Hotel, please,” I said to the driver. With a broad smile, he said, “Hi, my name is Wally,” and he handed me a mission statement. A mission statement! It said he would get me there safely, courteously and on time. As we drove off, he held up a choice of newspapers and said, “Be my guest.” He told me to help myself to the fruit in the basket on the back seat. He held up a cellular phone and said, “Its a dollar a minute if youd like to make a call.” 第45页/共98页 Shocked, I blurted, “How long have you been practicing this?” He answered, “Three or four years.” “I know this is prying.” I said, “but how much extra money do you earn in tips?” “Between $12,000 and $14,000 a year!” he responded proudly. He doesnt know it, but hes my hero. Hes living proof that you can always shift the odds in your favor.第46页/共98页 My mentor, Curt Carlson, is the wealthiest man in Minnesota, owner of a hotel and travel company with sales in the neighborhood of $9 billion. I had to get to a meeting in New York one day, and Curt generously offered me a ride in his jet. It happened to be a day Minnesota was hit with one of the worst snowstorms in years. Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport was closed for the first time in decades. Then, though the storm continued to pound us, the airport opened a runway for small craft only. As we were taxiing down it to take off, Curt turned to me and said gleefully, “Look, Harvey, no tracks in the snow!”第47页/共98页 Curt Carlson, 70 years old at the time, rich beyond anyones dreams, could still sparkle with excitement about being first. From my standpoint, thats what its all about. Prepare to win. Never stop learning. Believe in yourself, even when no one else does. Find a way to make a difference. Then go out and make your own tracks in the snow.第48页/共98页That left me with only one other questionTranslate the sentence into Chinese.这样我就只剩一个问题要问了。第49页/共98页When we watch a world-class musician or a top athlete, we dont see the years of preparation that enabled him or her to become great. 1.
