And a person who doesn?t exist cannot have the job.” The man left with no hope at all. With only ten dollars in his pocket, he decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars. The man realized that he could survive in this way, and started to go every day early, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商人 ) in the US.

D You get anxious if there?s no wifi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power, and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you?re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smartphone addiction. For some people, smartphones have freed them from the ninetofive work. They have more freedom in their working lives and they are able to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others, though, smartphones have bee tyrants (暴君 ) in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax. Pittsburghbased developer Kevin Holesh was worried that he was spending too much time on his iPhone over his family and friends. So he developed an app, Moment, to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they?re spending on the phones and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken. “Moment?s goal is to improve balance in your life,” he explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it, enjoying your loving family and friends around you.” Dr Christine said, “The effects of this “always on” culture are that your mind is never resting, and you?re not giving your body time to recover, so you?re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.” And as the number of smartphones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (癱瘓 ) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive more data and munications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they?re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr Christine.
