Saint George for Englandby G. A. HentyPREFACEMY DEAR LADS,You may be told perhaps that there is no good to be obtained from tales of fighting and bloodshed, - that there is no moral to be drawn from such histories. Believe it not. War has its lessons as well as Peace. You will learn from tales like this that determination and enthusiasm can accomplish marvels, that true courage is generally accompanied by magnanimity and gentleness, and that if not in itself the very highest of virtues, it is

Eminent Victoriansby Lytton StracheyPrefaceTHE history of the Victorian Age will never be written; we knowtoo much about it. For ignorance is the first requisite of thehistorianignorance, which simplifies and clarifies, whichselects and omits, with a placid perfection unattainable by thehighest art. Concerning the Age which has just passed, ourfathers and our grandfathers have poured forth and accumulated sovast a quantity of information that the industry of a Ranke would...
--****************销售篇*************** 有一对夫妻,花了3个月时间才找到了一只他们非常喜爱的古玩钟,他们商定只要售价不超过600美元就买下来。但是,当他们看清上面的标价时,丈夫却犹豫了。-前言- 管理奇才艾科卡说:“天下没有倒闭的企业,只有经营不善的企业!” 成功是每个企业人的梦想,如何成功则成了多数企业人的难题!为了克服这一难题,几乎所有的企业人都在探索不断提升自己管理智慧的方法体系,并不失时机地充实自己的管理知识、更新自己的管理观念。惟有如此,才能使企业在市场竞争中立于不败之地,才能对咄咄逼人的市场阵地侵略战应对自如。由此可见,获取、掌握并运用管理知识,使企业的经营管理系统化、科学化是一件意义深远的事。...
第一部:“公正主义”终结“富人时代”肇始于2003年3月全国两会的结束,截止于2004年全国两会的召开,期间的12个月,就是中国民间和国际舆论所谓的“新政元年”。事实上,我们从人们的宏观描述和微观列举中,并未发现多少真正的新东西。正如中国科学院国情研究员康晓光所说,“新政”之所以是新政,不在于新的政策,而在于孕育在政策背后的新的政治理念:“公正”。过去的25年里,我们对“平均主义”的批判过了头。尽管我们在强调“效率优先”的同时,从不忘记说一声“兼顾公平”,而事实上却是“只唯效率,鲜顾公平”。受制于这样的政策导向,我们看到的政策结果,便是今日随处可见的“赢家通吃”的景象。改革之初的民众、精英共同获益的“双赢时代”,已成过去。用青年经济学者卢周来的话说,“中国的改革是在旧房子不动的情况下盖新房子。”承担了建房成本原来住在旧房里的人,至今也很少有能够住进新房子的,他们中的大部分不仅...

White Liesby Charles ReadeCHAPTER I.Towards the close of the last century the Baron de Beaurepaire lived in the chateau of that name in Brittany. His family was of prodigious antiquity; seven successive barons had already flourished on this spot when a younger son of the house accompanied his neighbor the Duke of Normandy in his descent on England, and was rewarded by a grant of English land, on which he dug a mote and built a chateau, and called it Beaurepaire (the worthy Saxons turned this i
