這堂課，課本沒教，老闆、同事不會直接講。這堂課，沒有文憑，無法畢業，許多人學一輩子都學不會。這卻是職場上最重要的一堂課：「做人」。 做事要緊，還是做人優先？做「好人」還是做「自己」？「人緣好」，會不會變成「濫好人」？為什麼有人總能廣結善緣，有人卻老是處處樹敵？這些帶給你無窮煩惱、卻找不到答案的難題，《Cheers》雜誌透過各種過來人的親身經驗，為你淬煉出通過考驗的人生智慧。只要釐清困惑，掌握原則，做人其實沒有那麼難。

Hedge Manager Is Almost Famous
Here comes the success story of a Columbia B-school and Law school alumne
Hedge Manager Is Almost Famous By LANDON THOMAS Jr. 11/14/2006
Managers of billion-dollar hedge funds do not usually drive Hondas — except at Goldman Sachs, that is.
Traders at Wall Street investment banks are now priming themselves for another big bonus haul this year. And Raanan A. Agus, the manager of one of Goldman’s largest internal hedge funds, and the owner of a Honda minivan, will be in line for one of the richer paydays.

Ken Burns The award-winning filmmaker on his favorite documentaries
By JAMIN WARREN, WSJ, November 11, 2006; Page P2
Ken Burns, the Emmy-winning documentary film director of series like "Jazz," "Baseball" and "The Civil War," is known for his technique of slowly zooming in on a photograph. "The DNA of moving pictures are single pictures," he says. One of the films Mr. Burns says has most influenced him is "In the Street," a 1940s documentary about life in Spanish Harlem made by Helen Levitt, who is primarily a still photographer. Mr. Burns, who recently finished a film about World War II called "The War," set to be released next year, spoke with us about some of his favorite documentaries.

Are Large Families Back?
Family size in America: Are large families back? October 2006 By the BabyCenter editorial team
Posh Spice has three, and says she'd love more. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett have three. So do Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, and Madonna, thanks to adoption. With celebrities breaking the two-kid barrier, big families suddenly seem as trendy as jumbo-sized sunglasses and handbags.
And if you read the news reports, you might think it's not just Hollywood but regular American families that are going super-sized. "Get ready for the new baby boom," proclaims a recent headline from Life magazine. "For more parents, three kids are a charm," says USA Today.

終於悲哀的外國語
English to me, is a 終於悲哀的外國語, too....
More 村上春樹 on Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haruki_Murakami
終於悲哀的外國語 http://www.books.com.tw/exep/activity/activity.php?id=0000007376&sid=0000007376&page=1
這是村上春樹一九九○年秋天開始至一九九三年之間，在普林斯頓大學任教時寫的隨筆散文。有別於旅遊歐洲時《遠方的鼓聲》的旅行書寫，這是村上實際「歸屬」於美國這個社會，在這裡生活的觀察紀錄，以照片來說，是他「從普通的距離，拍攝極其平常的東西」。
他寫了當時正在發生的波灣戰爭、拜訪費滋潔羅的孫女的點滴、在美國跑步與在日本跑步有何不同、美國大學的階級制度等等。筆調有村上一貫的輕鬆幽默，比如〈禁止攜帶酸梅乾飯盒入場〉一文中，這句話要說的其實是美國的反日浪潮。
然而，雖然是生活在美國，村上春樹終於是個stranger，是個外國人，因此，他總覺得有一種深深的悲哀，被一種「不是不用學就自然明白的語言」團團圍住，這種狀況就包含著悲哀的東西。這也就是書名《終於悲哀的外國語》的由來。

中國外匯儲備
Increasing PRC Reserve- Good news for MBS/structured products
龐大外匯儲備平添中國金融影響力
2006年10月17日21:03
用不了幾天﹐中國的外匯儲備就有望突破1萬億美元﹐超過了近9個國家年經濟產出的總和。中國則因此成為了金融世界裡的巨人。中國外匯儲備的快速增長在幫助緩解國內經濟動蕩的同時﹐卻有可能引發國際市場的波動。
中國如何管理龐大的外匯儲備對全球經濟而言意義重大。截至9月30日﹐中國外匯儲備餘額達到9,879億美元﹐並且正以每個月200億美元的速度增長。這與美國共同基金巨頭Fidelity Investments管理的1.2萬億美元資產不相上下。

給畢業生的一封信
陳長文（名律師，紅十字總會會長）〔給畢業生的一封信〕
各位同學們，大家好：
如果對比東西方對「畢業」一詞的用語，我們會發現一個很有趣的現象，我們所稱的「畢業」一詞，含有結束的意思，意謂著結束了一段學習的過程。但英文畢業典禮叫做commencement，則是「開始」的意思，意謂著即將展開新的人生。

再富也要「窮」孩子
前些天，帶兒子去逛書局，他吵嚷著要我買一個精致、昂貴但不實用的鉛筆盒給他，最後我只買了一個「麻雀雖小，五臟俱全」的給他，他的嘴頓時呶了起來。
接著，他看中一個設計小巧玲瓏，曲線優美，尺面圖案喧賓奪主地蓋過刻度的精美塑料尺，我買給他的卻是一把木尺。他的嘴嘟得更有「克夫」（curve）了。

中國企業盈利被高估了
世界銀行高估了中國企業的盈利水平 by 單偉建
http://chinese.wsj.com/big5/20060904/opn152121.asp
有一種流傳很廣的觀點認為﹐中國無論國有企業還是非國有企業都有大量盈利﹐而且它們把大部分利潤都保留了下來。這種觀點認為﹐正是這些利潤留存而非銀行貸款推動了中國的工業產能和實際產出的迅猛增長。世界銀行(World Bank)似乎很讚同這種說法。該行不久前發表的《中國經濟季報》(China Economic Quarterly)上就採用了類似的表述。
