Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck? And Paul, why didn39。t pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car? When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it39。s too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don39。t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, You39。re a lucky dog, and that39。s being friendly. But lucky dog? There39。s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn39。t see it himself. But bringing in the dog bit puts you down a little, what he may be saying is that he doesn39。t think you deserve your luck.Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn39。t important. It39。s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven39。t got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone39。 s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.59.

If there is no substance behind the image, the product, service or person will fail at length. 20090507 First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services. Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection. Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies. But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back. For example , the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness. But the recent scandal (丑聞) showed that behind that image, it had dishonest business practices. Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit. Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm. Similarly, personal consultants can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars. Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general mons. But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace (體面) like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune. With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close. To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that im
