施振荣虽然坊间有关我的书很多,但是《再造宏碁》是我自己第一次出版的著作,对一个文学基础不佳的人而言,这是一个很大的成就。由于《再造宏碁》的内容颇具参考价值,当年出版时相当畅销,也得到很多的肯定,激起我不断写作的信心,后来我陆续出版了《鲜活思维》、《io联网组织》等书,以及最近为了纪念我从宏碁退休而出版的《宏碁的世纪变革》。《鲜活思维》的出版,是因为当时宏碁要改变企业文化,由制造为主的公司转型为服务性的公司,必须加强内部员工的服务文化,我在书中针对相关议题,包括企业、职场、人生观等,提出我的观点,另外对于台湾未来的发展,我也提出一些想法。至于《io联网组织》,则是由我应邀在台湾交通大学讲授EMBA课程的教材改编而成的,内容主要是讨论企业国际化管理的一些议题。...

Book ICHAPTER I.MASLOVA IN PRISON.Though hundreds of thousands had done their very best todisfigure the small piece of land on which they were crowdedtogether, by paying the ground with stones, scraping away everyvestige of vegetation, cutting down the trees, turning away birdsand beasts, and filling the air with the smoke of naphtha andcoal, still spring was spring, even in the town.The sun shone warm, the air was balmy; everywhere, where it didnot get scraped away, the grass revived and spran
Mrs. General Talboysby Anthony TrollopeWhy Mrs. General Talboys first made up her mind to pass the winterof 1859 at Rome I never clearly understood. To myself she explainedher purposes, soon after her arrival at the Eternal City, bydeclaring, in her own enthusiastic manner, that she was inspired bya burning desire to drink fresh at the still living fountains ofclassical poetry and sentiment. But I always thought that there wassomething more than this in it. Classical poetry and sentiment wer
琼瑶:《庭院深深》第一部 废墟之魂1 方丝萦走上了那座桥。 站在桥栏杆旁边,她默默的望著桥下的流水。桥下,河道并不太宽,但是,遍布著石 块和小鹅卵石的河岸却占地颇广。溪水潺□的流著,许多高耸的岩石突出了水面,挺立在 那儿,带著股倨傲的神态。流水从岩石四周奔流下去,激起了无数小小的泡沫和回漩。五 月的阳光遍洒在河水上,闪耀著万道光华。那流水淙淙的奔流声,像一支轻轻柔柔的歌 。站在那儿,方丝萦伫立了好一会儿。那流水,那泡沫,那岩石,和那回漩都令她眩惑, 令她感动,令她沉迷。她抚摩著桥栏杆,她深呼吸著那郊外带著松、竹、泥土混合气息的 空气。然后,她慢慢的向桥的那一边走去,桥的那一边已远离了市区,一条宽宽的泥土路 向前平伸著,泥土路的左边,是生长著松林、竹子的山坡。右边,是辽阔的田野,以及疏 疏落落分布著的一些小农舍。...
