inthefuturesowewasteitnowandcarelesslystealtimefromourfamilies,friendsorourselves.会议之所以效率不高，主要是因为没有很好地珍惜时间。召开和参加会议的人都没有将时间当做最宝贵的资源。但时间是世上最易逝的东西。忙碌的一天中你无法得到额外的一个小时来做事。尽管如此，我们还总是依稀觉得未来有大把时间，故而不珍惜当下，漫不经心地把家庭、朋友和自己的时间浪费掉。Iusedtobethedisengagedparticipantonewhohadgoodideasabouthowtosolveaproblem,butdidntcontribute.Inowtakeamoreactiverole,aimingtomakemeetingsmoreeffective.HerearethreesimpleprinciplesIuse.First,whoevercallsameetingshouldbeexplicitaboutitsobjectives.Thismeansspecifyingtangiblegoalsandassigningresponsibilities.Second,everyoneshouldthinkcarefullyaboutthecostsofameeting:Howmanyparticipantsarereallyneeded?Howlongshouldthemeetinglast?Finally,aftermeetings,assigncreditorblametothepersonincharge.Ifpeoplehaverecordsofleadingineffectivemeetings,theyarenotallowedtoleadfuturesessions.过去，我开会时参与度不高，对要解决的问题有好想法却不说。现在，我采取更积极的态度，希望会议能更有效。我遵循以下三个简单的原则。第一，无论谁召集会议，都必须明确目的。这意味着说明会议的切实目标并将任务布置下去。第二，每个人都要仔细考虑会议成本：到底需要几人参加？要开多久？最后，会议结束后，要给会议负责人评评分。如果谁有开会效率低的记录，那么下次他就不能再担任召集人。Iknowthatmeetingsmayserveotherfunctions.Sometimes,theycancommunicateasolution,makesurethattherearenofatalflawsinitandgivethosewhoareunhappywithitachancetovoicetheirdissatisfaction.Othermeetingsserveaculturalfunction,allowingparticipantstorenewsocialconnections,establishrelationships,anddeepenasenseofbelonging.So,itspossibletojustifyafewofthosetoo-longandapparentlyunproductivemeetingsbyfindinghiddenpayoffs.我知道会议还有其他作用。有时，在会上大家可以讨论预定方案，确保其没有致命错误并给那些有异议的人一个表达心声的机会。有些会议则有人文功能，创造机会让与会者叙叙旧、交交新朋友，并增强归属感。这些倒是能为那些冗长而明显无效的会议找到些许召集的理由。But,please,dontjustcallameetingandhopethemagichappens.Takechargeandtakepersonalresponsibilityformeetingitsobjectives,whatevertheyare.但是，千万不要随随便便就召集会议，然后心存幻想，期待奇迹出现。不管会议目标是什么，都要负起责任去达成目标。Unit3商务旅行Itsimportanttoknowyourobjectivesonabusinesstrip,andtosetoutwiththosegoalsinmindandhowtoaccomplishthem.Butalongtheway,somethingratheramazinghappenswhenyoutravelonbusiness.Youmaygotosomeprettyamazingplaces,andgetchancestoseethingsyouwouldhaveneversoughtoutonyourown.了解出差的目标、出发时牢记目标并清楚如何达成目标，这些都是很重要的。但在途中也会发生一些有趣的事情。你可能会去到一些令人惊叹的地方，有机会看到你自己可能永远都发现不了的东西。Business
