The Business Dressing Code

There is an age –old saying" man is judged by the boots he wear". But is it only the boots? Well if you ask the corporate world, then boots are not enough. The employee has to be "presentable" and should dress "right". The dressing protocol is not limited to any single industry but has spread its wings all over. Different sectors have different set of rules for their employees to dress. The reasons given for the same may be ranging from culture, atmosphere to ethics. So what is the right dressing code?

It is true that the dressing style vary according to the industry to reflect the culture and work ethics of the workplace. Since the atmosphere within certain business communities, for e.g. an ad agency tends to be informal, the attire of the employees reflects this outlook. On the other hand, protocol of corporate dressing in sectors such as hospitality, IT, banking etc, is more conservative as it reflects directly on employee professionalism.

Mind it that the attire of an employee of a particular industry speaks volume about the company's work ethic, image and culture. It adds an impression of professionalism, intelligence and commitment that enhances the overall credibility of the company. Similarly, non –adherence to a dress code can send out a message of discredit and incompetence.

But now, many organizations have now realized the fact that younger employee of today is more fashion conscious and experiment a lot with style even with his formal wears. The companies are also waking up to this fact and are flooding the market with formal yet fashionable attire.

Remember that dressing perfectly to work everyday today is important for the complete look and feel for the employees and the organization. So, next time you buy that business shirt, make sure that it fits your office culture and gives you a dressed to kill outlook.

长相思--春日念旧

自少年，

逐事迁。

残梦从谁似等闲，

微风散翠烟。

解尘烦，

枕书眠。

城廓空垂半壁天，

踏青千百般。

That Time Of Year Thou Mayst In Me Behold

William Shakespere

That time of year thou mayst in me behold

When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang

Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,

bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

In me thou see'st the twilight of such day

as after sunset fadeth in the west;

which by and by black night doth take away,

death's second self, that seals all up in rest.

In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire,

that on the ashes of his youth doth lie,

as the death-bed whereon it must expire,

consumed with that which it was nourish'd by.

This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,

to love that well which thou must leave ere long.

在我身上你或许会看见秋天

【英】 威廉•莎士比亚

在我身上你或许会看见秋天，

当黄叶，或尽脱，或只三三两两

挂在瑟缩的枯枝上索索抖颤——

荒废的歌坛，那里百鸟曾合唱。

在我身上你或许会看见暮霭，

它在日落后向西方徐徐消退：

黑夜，死的化身，渐渐把它赶开，

严静的安息笼住纷坛的万类。

在我身上你或许会看见余烬，

它在青春的寒灰里奄奄一息，

在惨淡灵床上早晚总要断魂，

给那滋养过它的烈焰所销毁。

看见了这些，你的爱就会加强，

因为他转瞬要辞你溘然长往。

桃红李媚，

花事犹相类。

踏遍群山春醒未？

沉醉东风无寐。

烟霏淡尽初繁，

红尘半是偷欢。

回首伊人帘卷,

清辉拂满雕栏。

On Making Friends

Everyone needs friends, and if you fail to make friends, you should examine yourself and see if there is something wrong with your personality. May be you have social faults such as snobbishness, talkativeness and using slang etc. which drive away your new acquaintances. Whatever your social faults may be, look at them honestly and make real effort to correct them.

To be friendly you must feel friendly. Cheerfulness is the basis of friendliness. A cheerful people smiles. A smile is a magnet which draws people. Smile at someone and you are almost sure to get a smile in return.

A friendly person does his best to make a stranger feel at home, wherever he happens to be. Put yourself in the other fellow's place and make them feel welcome.

Try to remember names. It makes your new acquaintances feel happy when you call them by their names. It gives them the feeling that they have made an impression on you and that mean something to them because you remember them.

If you don't agree with other people on a certain matter, you should appear to be friendly. Don't argue, but discuss. You always lose friends if you argue too much.

A friendly person thinks of others, and doesn't insist on his own "rights". People who refuse to consider others have few friends.

Finally, don't treat people only according to their social positions. Really friendly people respect everyone at all times.

关于交友

人人都需要朋友，若你在交朋友方面总是失败，就该反省自己，看是否你的个性有什么问题。或许你有些在社交上应该避讳的缺点，比如势力、饶舌、说脏话等，这些都会妨碍你结交新朋友。无论你有什么社交缺点，都该正视它们，尽力摒弃。要友善，你一定要给人友好的感觉：快乐是友善的基础。一个快乐的人总会面带微笑。微笑好似有吸引力的磁铁，你对别人微笑，你也会得到他微笑的回报。无论在哪里，友善之人都会让陌生人有居家般自在舒适的感觉，设身处地为陌生人考虑，让他有备受欢迎的感觉。尽量记住人名。对新认识的朋友直呼其名会令他们很高兴，他们会觉得你对他有了一定的印象，这说明你记住了他们，这对他们很重要。若在某件事上你不能与别人达成一致意见，你该表现出友好。可以讨论，但不要争吵。争吵过甚会使你失去朋友。友善之人常为他人考虑，不会为自己争取“权力”

。不顾及别人的人，他的朋友寥寥无几。最后，切勿以社会地位论人。真正的友善之人往往

尊重别人。
