How good are grades as method of evaluation if almost everyone' s GPA(平均积分点)is the same? This is where the problem lies. Grade inflation is the term given to the trend in some universities where higher grades are being given to less deserving students. The problem began in the Vietnam draft. Professors didn' t want to feet responsible for sending young men into war, especially since college campuses were popular sites of anti-war protest. The letter grade C became rare while the F was actually banned at places like Stanford University in California, and Brown University in Rhode Island. Today, grades are hardly a matter of life and death, but they can mean the difference between a good job and a great career. This is why it' s important to differentiate excellent students from average ones. Charles Rooney of the National Center for Fair and Open Testing feels that in the coming years good grades may not carry as much weight as before. "Whereas 10 percent of a class used to receive an A, now 40 percent is normal. The A has lost its meaning. " When Donna LaBella began her college at Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY, three years ago, she expected it to be the greatest challenge of her life. Before long, Donna realized that the easiest road to a high GPA is by selecting classes taught by "generous" professors. "Course selection is just as significant as the final exam week in the outcome of your grade. By my sophomore year, I knew which instructors to avoid and I ended up with a perfect 4. 0 without actually learning much. " Professor William Cote of Harvard once said, " Oracle inflation rewards mediocrity and discourages excellence. " Though different opinions may exist, one thing about grades is certain: as grades get higher and higher they will have less end less meaning.

总经理、总裁、首席执行官这样的头衔在现代商业中屡见不鲜。这些企业老总的头衔意味着什么?有人说意味着位高权重、腰缠万贯、交游广阔、傲慢自大甚至颐指气使。我虽然当总裁的时间不长,感受还不够深刻,但比隔岸观火要好很多。在我看来,成功的企业老总主要具备以下几种品质: 首先,要有思想,有对如何发展企业的战略思想和理念。这事听起来简单,做起来还是很有难度的。思想虽然看不见、摸不着,但是却能让人感觉得到,这种思想代表着企业价值认同,能够引领企业发展方向。 其次,领导力是断不可缺的。老总在关键时候做事少不了要果断决绝甚至冷酷无情,这就难免使员工陷入恐慌或愤怒。但是,好的老总在行使自己的权利时会充分考虑到人性,并因此会受到其下属的爱戴。 另外,要有坚强意志,要有一往无前的精神,特别是在企业遇到困难的时候。因为很多兴产业前人没做过,碰上前人不曾遇到的挑战在所难免。我们目睹了国内家电产业从繁荣到生存大战的残酷,领略了互联网产业从新兴到泡沫破裂大浪淘沙似的血雨腥风。而现今的云计算和物联网等新兴产业又将去向何方?鹿死谁手呢?“剩者”为王,生存下来的企业一定是经得起磨砺,具有百折不挠的精神。 综上所述,老总是企业的领袖,是灵魂。我将为之努力,做一个有思想、有坚定意志并能果断决策的企业领导人。
