昨晚在QQ上和刘工聊得很晚很晚. 感觉很久没和他聊天了, 而且大家都有共同的话题, 所以可以越聊越深入. 曾经在爱尔兰时, 我还想着回深圳后大家会有更多的时间和机会聚会. 可是想不到我即将回国之际, 他却要远赴青岛工作了. 当时听到他要去青岛的消息, 我不免感到一丝遗憾, 不过同时, 我也替他高兴, 因为他要开始一段新的征程了, 他的事业也会因此而发展得越来越好.
毫无疑问, 刘工是我的好朋友. 准确地说, 他是我极少数的几个最好的朋友之一. 而这么多朋友中, 我感觉对他的亏欠最多. 本来好朋友是应该要相互帮助, 不该谈亏不亏欠的问题. 可是对他, 除了感到感动与愧疚外, 我已经不知道该说什么了. 我依然清楚地记得那年, 当我处于人生的困境时, 他是如何毫不犹豫地帮助我. 他当时给予我物质上和精神上的帮助, 我想, 到目前为止, 可以说是没有人可以超越的. 我记得当时我是多么的失意, 而且多番求助无果, 又不想和家人说, 那种挫败感, 至今仍记忆犹新. 那次可能是我大学四年遇到过最痛苦的事情了. 也正是因为那次的经历, 我看清了很多东西, 包括什么才是真正的朋友, 什么才是真正的友情.
每当我想起那件事, 我都有一种想落泪的冲动. 我想落泪, 一方面是被那次曾经不遗余力帮助过我的同学朋友们深深的感动了, 特别是刘工以及另外一位朋友. 我还记得那晚, 只有我一个人在宿舍, WX知道我的事情后, 特地到我宿舍, 然后拿出五百块钱放在我的桌上, 笑着对我说: “多的我没有, 这几百块钱我还是有的, 先拿去应急吧. 以后可以不还的!” 我当时还没反应过来, 怔怔地看着那几百块钱. 突然间, 我的眼睛就湿了. 我强笑着对他说: “不用了, 我已经想好办法了. 你家境不太好啊, 我不能拿你的钱.”说着我就要把钱塞回他的口袋. 可是他怎么也不肯要, 还一溜烟地跑了. 我追下楼, 然后在楼下的阳台上看着他渐行渐远的背影, 那一刻我真的忍不住落泪了. 我在想, 有这么好的朋友, 还有什么困难是走不过去的呢? 也正是因为这些朋友在那时表现出的关心, 让我感到无比的温暖, 从而顺利地解决了问题; 而另一方面, 我也感到非常痛心, 因为一些我平时觉得关系不错的朋友, 却在我需要帮助时离开了我, 或者说难听一点, “失踪了”. 我痛心并不是因为我得不到他们的帮助, 而是因为我们从此再也不是朋友了. 我并不是要求我有困难朋友就一定要帮我, 因为有时候困难太多了超过别人的能力范围, 他就算想帮你也心有余而力不足, 在这样的情况下我们是不能强求别人帮我们的. 但是我可以肯定地说, 如果在我有困难时你有能力而没有全力帮我, 那以后当你有困难时, 你也不用指望我会帮你, 哪怕是一分钱的帮助.
现在我越来越发现, 有时候你对别人好, 有些人可能当你是傻瓜. 不懂得感恩的人比比皆是. “患难见真情”这句话永远是真理. 当你有困难时, 看看哪些人还在你身边, 那些就是真正的朋友. 假友情之间谈的是 “相互利用”, 真友情之前谈的却是 “相互帮助”, 虽然两者之前的内容可能是一样的, 可是实质意义却是不同的. 不同之处在于, “相互利用”永远讲的是 “利益”, 一旦对方对你没有了利益好处, 你就会毫不犹豫地把他踹开; 而 “相互帮助”则不然, 这是建立在彼此的精神和情感的纽带上的. 曾经的我非常天真, 以为只要你对别人好, 别人就会对你好; 只要你当别人是朋友, 别人也会当你是朋友. 可是现实却不是如此. 所以, 一旦我发现某些人不值得我对他好, 或者不适合做朋友, 我会变得很现实. 在这个时候, 变得现实是为了保护自己. 而对待真正的朋友, 我永远不会计较太多, 会真诚地对待他们. 所以有时候一些网友在QQ上问我: “可以交个朋友吗?” 我会开玩笑地反问他们: “要交什么样的朋友呢? 是利益朋友还是真正的好朋友?” 当然我说这句话时是闹着玩的, 可是在现实生活中我却是在践行着这句话.
昨晚和刘工聊完天后, 我躺在床上久久不能入眠. 人的一生只要有两三个非常好的朋友, 那就真的是非常幸运和幸福的了. 有些人活了一辈子, 可是连找个说心里话的朋友也没有, 这样的人不管多么有钱, 他都是悲哀的. 真的很想再和刘工吃饭聊天, 希望过年有机会吧. 在这里我只能向在远方工作的他表示深深的祝福, 祝愿他身体健康, 工作顺利! 下午接到竹静的电话, 她问我为什么还没有把简历发给她. 那一刻我感到既为自己的拖拉感到愧疚, 又为她的关心感到无比的感动. 她平时工作这么忙, 还在关心着我的工作的事情, 而我自己反而过于地淡定了, 真的让我有一种无地自容的感觉! 突然间我真的感到很幸福! 虽然生活中总是有不顺和失意, 特别是现在, 我正处于学习和就业的转型期, 感到相当的迷茫与无助. 可是正是因为有这些好朋友关心我帮助我, 我才会越来越自信和充满希望! 真的感谢你们, 我的好朋友们! 我坚信, 未来我们会一起走得很好很好的!

Summary of Wal-Mart Case Study
By 王福明
The article analyses Wal-Mart's successful factor and advisor how to be better business.
The successful factors are as follows:
1, Strategic Goals. A key strategy of Wal-Mart is to dominate the retail market. To dominate the retail market, Wal-Mart sells their name-brand products at the lowest possible prices. In addition, another subset of this strategy is the competitiveness of every unit.
2, Growth by expansion in the US and Internationally. A strategic goal of Wal-Mart is to expand and it does successfully. Domestically, Wal-Mart is the largest US retailer, employing around 1 million people. It has over 3,000 stores and outlets, and 77 distribution centers. Internationally, the retailer operates in Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, China, Korea, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
3, Create Positive Brand and Name Recognition. Their goal is to have the customer associate the retailer with the reputation of offering the best prices. The company accomplishes this through television advertising campaigns and newspaper adverts.
4,Branching out into New Sectors of Retailing .Wal-Mart has recently become a major pharmacy, automotive repair shop, and is now moving into grocery sales. Its successful example is Sam Walton's vision of being the best retailer around.
The company's competitive strategy is to dominate every sector with lowest price and good culture that emphasizes respect for the individual, service to our customers, and striving for excellence. It uses its size, financial power, immense resources to dominate retail and made its strategy clear and directly in the 1960's by Sam Walton whose core message is that Wal-Mart is a "family friendly" store and refined over the decades.
However, there are several weaknesses in Wal-Mart, including extensive labor relations problems, community relations problems, and miscellaneous PR problems. What's worse, there are still several policy issues involving expansion into the foreign market, to expand beyond just retail and move into other sectors and dominance in labor relations that they face.
Stakeholders of Wal-Mart can be divided into two groups: the market and non-market stakeholders. The Market Stakeholders include the Wal-Mart executives, the employees, the communities where Wal-Mart is located, consumers, non-profit organizations, online retailer and gasoline retailers. Non-market stakeholders include labor unions, International retail stores and politicians. Wal-Mart is the largest political and public donor in the retail sectors for its key policy issues and stakeholders.
To be a better business, Wal-Mart should take following accommodations. Firstly, address Wal-Mart's aggressive corporate strategy. Secondly, Wal-Mart needs to relax its anti-unionization policy and allow its employees to freely choose to organize themselves in a union. Finally, Wal-Mart must better utilize its political capitol and learn from the experience of local retailers when attempting to expand overseas. |
