【題目】

Sometimes we forget that many things we use every day were not always there. They had to be i【1】. Someone had to have an idea. Then they had to do a lot of experiments with the idea until it worked well. Here are few you might like to read about:

In Maine, the northeast of the U. S., winters are long, windy and cold. Every winter, Chester Greenwood's ears got so cold that they turned colors. When he was 15, Chester got ice skates for his birthday. He wanted to go skating. The cold wind and his frozen ears soon sent him running home. The next day, Chester tied a scarf around his ears. It was w【2】, but too uncomfortable. Then he got a GREAT IDEA.

Chester made two oval loops out of wire. He asked his grandmother to sew covers on the ovals Then she connected the ovals with another wire. The ovals fit over his ears. Chester had invented earmuffs! They saved his ears and made him rich. People in Maine found another way to r【3】 Chester. December 21th, the first of winter, is Chester Greenwood Day.

Sometimes inventions happen by chance. As a boy. Thomas Alva Edison was called Al. When he was 12 years old, he got his first j【4】. He sold newspapers and candies on the train. One day on the job, he bravely s【5】 a boy from being run over by a train. The boy's father worked a telegraph. Al asked how to run a telegraph. Not only did Al learn the telegraph, but he made a better one. It was one of his earliest GREAT IDEAS

Edison's new telegraph made a lot of money. Later，he became the first person to o【6】and run an invention business. He was good at that，too. We could thank Thomas Edison every day. He had many，many GREAT IDEAS such as bulbs，movie cameras，and batteries. Edison is the one who invented more things than a【7】else in the world.

Building Your Business, Building Your People

What an exciting thing to do-developing a successful business! I'm reminded every day of some important ideas for progress. Here are some ideas to keep in mind that can make a significant difference in a team:

Understand your people

If I want my team to go and grow with me, I need to find out what excites them. What do they need in their work environment to improve their mental well-being? What are their fears and concerns, and how can I help them manage these fears and concerns? What are their values and goals?

Help people build self-confidence

During my early years in management, I realized the great power of expectations. As I found, people largely lived up to my expectation of them. So I learned that if I want to build my business through my people, I have to build their own belief in their ability to achieve. This belief must be educated. If I want them to achieve more, I must help them build their trust in themselves first.

Develop people's recognition(認(rèn)可)

Whenever I speak and give advice to people, they tell me they don' t get enough recognition. Sad, isn't it? But how much recognition do they give to others? In fact, recognition could be developed by praising and appreciating each other in a team. Encourage everyone in your team to recognize achievements in others. Teach your team to ask for the opinions of others if they're not receiving recognition.
