How to Attend a Meeting
(1) To really succeed in a business or organization, it is sometimes
helpful to know what your job is, and whether it involves any duties. Ask among
your coworkers. "Hi," you should say, "I'm a new employee. What is the name of
my job? " If they answer "long-range planner" or "lieutenant governor," you are
pretty much free to lounge around and do crossword puzzles until retirement.
Most jobs, however, will require some work. (2) There are two
major kinds of work in modern organizations: Taking phone messages for people
who are in meetings, and going to meetings. (3) Your ultimate
career strategy will be to get a job involving primarily No. 2, going to
meetings, as soon as possible, because that is where the real prestige is. It is
all very well and good to be able to take phone messages, but you are never
going to get a position of power, a position where you can cost thousands of
people their jobs with a single bonehead decision, unless you learn how to
attend meetings. (4) The first meeting ever was held back in
the Mezzanine Era. In those days, Man's job was to slay his prey and bring it
home for Woman, who had to figure out how to cook it. The problem was, Man was
slow and basically naked, whereas the prey had warm fur and could run like an
antelope. (In fact it was antelope, only nobody knew this) (5)
At last someone said: " Maybe if we just sat down and did some brainstorming, we
could come up with a better way to hunt our prey!" It went extremely well, plus
it was much warmer sitting in a circle, so they agreed to meet again the next
day, and the next. (6) But the woman pointed out that,
prey-wise, the men had not produced anything, and the human race was pretty much
starving. The men agreed that was serious and said they would put it right near
the top of their "agenda". At this point, the women, who were primitive but not
stupid, started eating plants, and thus modem agriculture was born. It never
would have happened without meetings. (7) The modem business
meeting, however, might better be compared with a funeral, in the sense that you
have a gathering of people who are wearing uncomfortable clothing and would
rather be somewhere else. The major difference is that most funerals have a
definite purpose. Also, nothing is really ever buried in a meeting.
(8) An idea may look dead, but it will always reappear at another meeting
later on. If you have ever seen the movie" Night of the Living Dead," you have a
rough idea of how modem meetings operate, with projects and proposals that
everyone thought were killed rising up constantly from their graves to stagger
back into meetings and eat the brains of the living. (9) There
are two major kinds of meetings: (10) Meetings that are held
for basically the same reason that Arbor Day is observed, namely, tradition. For
example, a lot of managerial people like to meet on Monday, because it's Monday.
You will get used to it. You'd better, because this kind account for 83% of all
meetings (based on a study in which I wrote down numbers until one of them
looked about right). This type of meeting operates the way "Show and Tell" does
in nursery school, with everyone getting to say something, the difference being
that in nursery school, the kids actually have something to say.
(11) When it's your turn, you should say that you're still working on
whatever it is you're supposed to be working on. This may seem pretty dumb,
since obviously you'd be working on whatever you're supposed to be working on,
and even if you weren't, you'd claim you were, but that's the traditional thing
for everyone to say. It would be a lot faster if the person running the meeting
would just say: "Everyone who is still working on what he or she is supposed to
be working on, raise your hand. " You'd be out of there in five minutes, even
allowing for jokes. But this is not how we do it in.America. My guess is it's
how they do it in Japan. (12) Meetings where there is some
alleged purpose. These are trickier, because what you do depends on what the
purpose is. Sometimes the purpose is harmless, like someone wants to show slides
of pie charts and give everyone a big, fat report. All you have to do in this
kind of meeting is sit there and have elaborate fantasies, then take the report
back to your office and throw it away, unless, of course, you're a vice
president, in which case you write the name of a subordinate in the upper right
hand comer, followed by a question mark, like this: "Norm?" Then you send it to
Norm and forget all about it (although it will plague Norm for the rest of his
career). (13) But sometimes you go to meetings where the
purpose is to get your" input" on something. This is very serious because what
it means is: they want to make sure that in case whatever it is turns out to be
stupid or fatal, you'll get some of the blame, so you have to escape from the
meeting before they get around to asking you anything. One way is to set fire to
your tie. (14) Another is to have an accomplice interrupt the
meeting and announce that you have a phone call from someone very important,
such as the president of the company or the Pope. It should be one or the other.
It would sound fishy if the accomplice said, "You have a call from the president
of the company, or the Pope. " (15) You should know how to take
notes at a meeting. Use a yellow legal pad. At the top, write the date and
underline it twice. Now wait until an important person, such as your boss,
starts talking; when he does, look at him with an expression of great interest,
as though he is revealing the secrets of life itself. Then write interlocking
rectangles. (16) If it is an especially lengthy meeting, you
can try something else, like drawing more elaborate doodles and a caricature of
the boss. (17) If somebody falls asleep in a meeting, have
everyone else leave the room. Then collect a group of total strangers, right of
the street, and have them sit around the sleeping person until he wakes up. Then
have one of them say to him, "Bob, your plan is very, very risky. However,
you've given us no choice but to try it. I only hope, for your sake, that you
know what you're getting yourself into. " Then they should file quietly out of
the room.

填空题Secrets of Grade-A Parents A. When Carey Graham started Grade One, he got a very special teacher. "She recognized my passion for learning," says the now 20-year-old. "Every morning we'd sit down with workbooks and do writing and math exercises. And any time during the day, she could always be counted on to read to me. She always encouraged me to learn all I could about everything." This extraordinary teacher was his morn, Jeanne Lambert, who homeschooled Graham until high school. He's now in his second year in the University of Toronto's Peace and Conflict Studies program, having received a provincial "Aiming for the Top" scholarship. Graham is considering a law degree or a master's in political science down the road. He attributes his academic success to the foundation laid by his parents. B. "You can't be a parent without being a teacher," says Bruce Arai, a professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario. "Perhaps the most important teaching in a child's life is done by his parents, not by some professional with certificates," he says. Homeschooling isn't about sitting your kids down in the kitchen and teaching them in the formal sense, says Arai, but about "making sure the resources and opportunities for learning are available to them." And that, any parent can do. Here, then, are some methods that parents who would never consider homeschooling can pick up from those who do. Lesson 1 Think Outside the Classroom C. When homeschooler Kerri Paquette, a mother of six, was building a house in Lansdowne, she saw it as a learning opportunity. "They learned math as we measured, about soil as we dug the foundation, about water while we did the plumbing, and about electricity when we did the electrical work. My children make the subjects come alive as much I do," says Paquette. Her kids, aged three to 13, continue to view the world as their classroom. They study food and plant growth through their organic garden. They learn about cows by talking to the neighboring farmers. And they learn math, measuring and science while helping Paquette cook. "The other day my nine-year-old, Maddison, started learning a new educational computer program. The section on fractions was all new, but she knew it from when we bake." Every activity, says Paquette, can include a lesson. Lesson 2 Eliminate Learning Limits D. A teacher with a class of 25 students can't continue a unit on, say, the body just because one child is still keen—but you can. "We don't have a time frame that restricts our investigations, and we don't have a daily schedule," says Linda Clement, who homeschools her two daughters in Victoria. When her 14wear-old showed an interest in the human body, the curious student read dozens of relevant books and surfed web sites. Janet's curiosity took her in all sorts of directions: a dictionary of poisons and antidotes, an encyclopedia of medicine, books about human personality and much more. E. The benefit to your child goes beyond a thorough knowledge of a subject. Studying deeply a topic builds independent research skills and a love of learning. "If my children are interested in a subject," says Clement, "we can go as far into the subject, answering as many questions as they have, for as long as is necessary. This freedom encourages their investigations." Lesson 3 Teach Your Kids Their Way F. Some children are visual learners (they absorb best when they see something), some are auditory (they need to hear it), some are kinesthetic (they need hands-on experience) and some are a combination. Uncovering how your child learns best will increase your effectiveness in helping him or her with schoolwork. Unsure of your child's learning style? Ask his teacher. G. The way Melissa Cowl's six children, aged three to 15, pick up on math highlights the great differences in learning styles. "Our ten-year-old, Matthew, needs everything in black and white: Tell him what to do and how to do it, and it's done," says the mother. "He had a math text that was too colorful, with a layout that was difficult to follow. I switched to a text that was more step-by-step, more concrete. Now he does math tests with no trouble. Our eight-year-old, Ryan, however, is very hands-on. For math, he uses a variety of colorful pens to figure out things like addition and fractions. He needs to see it and feel it. Not one of my kids learns the same way as the others." Lesson 4 Let Them See You Learn H. One of the best parts of homeschooling is that you can continue your own education—and your kids can see you doing it and pick up on your love of learning. The same principle can be applied by any parent. "Learning never ends," says Julia Goforth, a homeschooling mother of four. "We try new things all the time, whether I'm reading something new or we're all tasting foods we'd never normally eat." Reversing the roles also has benefits, giving kids a sense of pride in their own newfound knowledge. "Today my 12-year-old daughter, Denise, explained to me how she figured out a math problem. She'd wound up with the right answer, but I didn't understand how she managed it," says homeschooler Gina Rozon of La Ronge, Sask. "Our kids are teaching us all the time." I. Learning doesn't always go smoothly, for kids and adults alike, which is why it's important for children to see their parents struggle with something new. "My children watched me turn my life around by trying new things," says Goforth. "I went from being a fearful, stay-at-home mom to an adventurous artist's model and public speaker. Learning belly dance and play the violin is on my to-do list this year." Lesson 5 "Own" Your Children's Education J. "Helping them isn't about showing your kids how to do the work. It's about being genuinely interested and having regular conversations about what they're learning," says J. Gary Knowles, a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. Rozon has many suggestions for how to get more involved. "Get to know the teacher. Discuss ways to design the assignments to your child's learning style. Spend time in the classroom. Ask for outlines of unit studies so you can find additional materials at the library or through videos. Read your child's textbooks: If you work a few pages ahead, you'll be able to help them with problems they encounter." K. Reading is another must, says Rozon. "Even after your children can read themselves, hearing somebody else read aloud is important. We nearly always bring a book wherever we go; we read for at least a haft hour before bedtime." The more engaged a parent is, the more the child benefits, adds Bruce Arai. "The evidence is clear. Parental involvement is one of the most important factors in school success. The hours children spend in class are but one element of their education./
