话题二"My parents had an important influence on the kind of person I am now. Respect, moral values, and good manners are just some of the principles they have implanted in me as I grew up. Undoubtedly, I was raised the old fashion way. However, I still have a long way to go if I want to be as wise as my father , and so determined as my mother. I realize now that all their actions in the past to correct my misbehavior were not pointless, part of my personality is the result of their influences. I am a good father, a good husband, and most important I am a man of values and principles.My dad is man of good sense, and I cannot take that from him. 'Don Benjamin,' Double quotation marks should be used here. as we call him, may not be a perfect father, but he is the best father of all. In one hand, my father was a very strict and overprotective father. I've cried many nights during my teenage-hood Try "teenage years" or "adolescence" instead. because he would not allow me to go out with my friends. But, in the other hand, he would taught me how to be self-sufficient, how to be honest, how to be responsible, and most important how to be respectful to others. Women are surprised to find out that I know how to cook, to wash dishes, to do laundry, to iron my cloth, to sew, to clean the house, and I tell them that I got it frommy father. My dad thinks that he is got to keep working to support all of us. It is amazing that when I see myself working until late night, sometimes even weekends and holidays, it is like seeing my father. One day I asked him, why at his age, 65 years old, does he still have to work so much. He replied, "Because the day I die, I want to leave certain that your mother and all of you will not be unsupported." My dad spent quality time with us too, and he proved to me that working hard is not an excuse to unattended the family. He make us enjoy every gathering and family time that we had. Undoubtedly, I am grateful to have my father as my mentor.Determination is one of my mom's qualities that it is still hard for me to obtain. She always achieved whatever she proposed to get, and always finished any task she started. She says to me all the time, "Don't be mediocre, no matter how long it takes, get it done." I am 38 years old, and I have the firmest intention to earn my bachelor's degree, even if it takes more than the two years I have left. It is not only self pride, I am also doing it because of her. My mother has always been a woman of endless patience. Can you imagine what it is to raise six kids while my father was working? I truly admire her for that devotion. I go crazy when I have to baby sit my two kids all by myself. Melva, my mother, is also a woman of action. She says, "Don't think too much, just do it." Anyway, I still cannot get that right, and I think way as much when it comes to making decisions. I can clearly recall every argument my parents had when as a child and a teenager. Either my mother wanted to get me enroll into karate lessons or into the most exclusive private schools. My father would say there are other options that are less expensive, but she wanted it that way. I cannot blame my father anyway, I have four brothers and one sister, it is hard to keep up a financial stability with everyone's demand. At the end I got the karate lessons, and I got to study in one of the most exclusives private institutions in my country. I salute my mother.Life has taught me that without the influence of both my parents, I do not know where I would be today. But, one thing is for sure about me; "Like parents, like son."话题三As an employer or hiring manager, there are a lot of things you take into consideration when looking for a new employee. You want to be sure they can get the job done and even surpass your expectations. You want to be sure that they fit in with most of the people that are already employed and mesh into your company culture. Lastly, you want to be sure they are taking this job for the long-run. At the very least you expect them to stay with the company for at least two years. So in the process of looking for all of these things, the educational background and past work experiences of your top candidates is bound to come up. As an employer, what should you place more importance on: educational background or experience?It’s a question that both job seekers and employers alike have asked themselves. If there’s a most common answer to this often-asked question than the answer is: it depends. It depends on what the job is, what kind of candidate you are looking for,what you expect out of the future employee and what you think is most important as an employer. A lot of employers automatically require their candidates to have a four-year degree to fill their positions. However, is it always necessary? Can someone who has a good deal of work experience, but no degree fill that role as well? By placing this requirement in your job post, you may be missing out on a good deal of talent. What you should do before you make an educational requirement is to ask yourself a few questions. What are the expected behaviors of this candidate? What abilities and knowledge must they posses? What are the most important skills? Then ask yourself if those requirements are attainable without a degree.The president of Reliability Careers John Ha tackled this same debate a while back. In trying to answer the question, he took a look at what most employers associate with candidates, or employees, that have a degree. For one, most assume that they know how to analyze problems, conduct research and produce solutions. A great deal of higher education is composed of this specific skill. No matter what degree a candidate has, they worked hard to get it and probably exhibited these skills.It’s also assumed that they can learn complex subject matters and are motivated individuals since they graduated and earned their degree. However, don’t candidates that possess a great deal of work experience likely have these characteristics as well? Perhaps you have a candidate that has had two jobs previously and no degree, and a candidate that has a degree but no experience. If the candidate with no degree worked in your industry before, does their experience put them above the candidate with a degree but virtually no experience in the field? This candidate has proven that they can get the job done, and have before. Cancelling out job seekers like this one alienates you from a great pool of talent.Ultimately, as the hiring manager or employer, the decision is yours to make. Most desirable would be a candidate with a good educational background andexperience. It’s important though that you weigh each option and decide if a degree is truly a requirement or just a desire you seek in your candidates. Depending on the job, the answer may be very different.What do you think? Is educational background more important than experience, or is it the other way around? Or perhaps both?

Indeed, for the last 15 years, the online onslaught of “store-less” titans like Amazon and Netflix have in fact decimated neighborhood icons like the bookstore, the record store and the DVD rental.However, as I have argued before, the new “trend” in technology does not have to be simply destroy and replace. Rather, when innovative leaders can cross-pollinate disruptive technologies into traditional industries, there can be evolution and not just revolution. This is precisely what is happening in Retail today. While the industry is certainly undergoing massive disruption, the transformation will not lead to just a pure virtual commerce existence. Rather, the strong benefits of online, which come mainly from digitization, will be married with the very human need for physical and local experiences to create a more efficient and more wonderful shopping experience. This is a win for the consumer, and for the new breed of retailers that will digitize all aspects of their business but use this to understand and be where consumers shop. They will be able to better meet and exceed customer expectations and create a differentiating value proposition that leads to an overall better brand experience and longer term sustainable profitability.。
