My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling lawyer, but I always knew he was special. He never criticized us, but used praise to bring out our best. He'd say, \茂盛). If you don't give them water, they die.\I remember as a child I said something unkind about somebody, and my father said, \something unpleasant about somebody else, it's a reflection of you.\for the best in people, I would get the best in return. From then on I've always tried to follow the principle in my life and later in running my company.
Dad's also always been very understanding. At 15, I started a magazine. It was taking up a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a choice: stay in school or leave to work on my magazine.
I decided to leave, and Dad tried to sway me from my decision at first, as any good father would. When he realized I had made up my mind, he said, \into law. And I've always regretted it. I wanted to be a biologist, but I didn't pursue my dream. You know what you want. Go fulfill it.\
As it turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a national magazine for young people in the U.K. My wife and I have two children, and I'd like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad raised me.

According to a recent study out of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, men with shaved heads are considered to be more manly, powerful, and successful than those with longer hair or thinning(稀少的 ) hair. Besides, in some cases, they are considered to have greater leadership potential. That may explain why the power-buzz look has become popular among business leaders in recent years.
Albert Mannes, Wharton management lecturer, said he was encouraged to do the research after noticing that he was treated with more respect when he shaved off his thinning hair.
Go Fulfill Your Dream My Happy Childhood Be nice to Others My Respectable Father persuade me out of agree with me on remind me of accuse me of
Mannes did three experiments to test people’s impression of men with shaved heads. In one of the experiments, he showed 344 subject photos of the same men in two versions: one showing the men with hair and the other showing them with their hair digitally removed, so their heads appear shaved. In all three tests, the subject report found the men with shaved heads are more dominant( 占优势的) than their hairy counterparts(对应的人).
The study found that men with thinning hair were viewed as the least attractive and powerful. For those men, the solution could be as cheap and simple as a shave.
New York image consultant Julie Rath advised her clients to get closely cropped(剪短) when they start thinning up top. “There is something really strong, powerful and confident about laying it all bare,” she said, describing the thinning look as kind of raunchy(不修边幅的).
Not everyone needs a bare head. Rick Devine, 55, the CEO of Devine Capital Partners, advised executive candidates attracted by their clippers to keep their hair closely cropped, rather than completely shaved. “It is way too much image risk,” he said, “The best thing you can do in a business meeting is to make your look not an issue.”
