I couldnt remember the last time he had tenderly stroked my cheek, tousled my hair or used a term of endearment when calling my name. His diabetes h
14、ad given him a short temper and he screamed a lot. I was envious when I saw other fathers plant gentle kisses on their daughters foreheads or impulsively give them a big bear hug. I knew that he loved me and that his love was deep. He just didnt know how to express it.It was hard to say “I love you
15、to someone who didnt say it back. After so many disappointing times when I would flinch from his sharp rebuff I began to withdraw my own warm displays of affection. I stopped reaching out or hugging or kissing him. At first this act of self-restraint was conscious. Later it would become automatic, a
16、nd finally it was ingrained. The love between us ran strong but silent.One rare evening out, when my mother had successfully coaxed my usually asocial father to join us for a night in the town, we were sitting in an elegant restaurant that boasted a small but lively band. When it struck up a familia
17、r waltz tune, I glanced at my father. He suddenly appeared small and shrunken to me not powerful and intimidating as I had always perceived him.All the old hurts welled up inside but I decided to dare one last time.“Dad, You know Ive never ever danced with you. Even when I was a little girl, I begge
18、d you, but you never wanted to! How about right now? “ I waited for the usual brusque reply that would once again slice my heart into ribbons. But instead he considered me thoughtfully and then a surprising twinkle appeared in his eye.“ I have been remiss in my duties as a father then.“ he uncharact
19、eristically joked. “Lets hit the floor and Ill show you just what kind of moves an old geezer like me still can make!“My father took me in his arms. Since earliest childhood I hadnt been enfolded in his embrace. I felt overcome by emotion.As we danced, I looked up at my father intently but he avoide
20、d my gaze. His eyes swept the dance floor, the other diners and the members of the band. His scrutiny took in everyone and everything but me. I felt that he must already be regretting his decision to join me for a dance; he seemed uncomfortable being physically close to me.“Dad,“ I finally whispered
21、 tears in my eyes. “Why is it so hard for you to look at me?“ At last his eyes dropped to my face and he studied me intently. “Because I love you so much“, he whispered back. “Because I love you. “ I was struck dumb by his response. It wasnt what I had anticipated. But it was of course exactly what
22、I needed to hear. His own eyes were misty and he was blinking.I had always known that he loved me, I just hadnt understood that his vast emotion had frightened him and made him mute. His taciturn manner hid the deep emotions flowing inside. “I love you too, Dad“ I whispered back softly. He stumbled
23、over the next few words“ I . Im sorry that Im not demonstrative.“ Then he said “Ive realized that I dont show what I feel. My parents never hugged or kissed me and I guess I learned how not to from them. Its. its, hard for me. Im probably too old to change my ways now but just know how much I love y

I was gone just a few minutes but during my absence everything changed.There were screams and shouts and scrapings of chairs as I made my way back across the room. I wonde
25、red what the commotion was all about. As I approached the table I saw it was all about Dad. He was slumped in his chair ashen gray. A doctor in the restaurant rushed over to handle the emergency and an ambulance was called but it was really all too late. He was gone. Instantly they said.What had sud

And why now?In the restaurant that night all I saw was his slumped body and ashen face surrounded by solemn diners and grim faced parame
27、dics. But its a totally different scene that I remember now. I remember our waltz on the dance floor and his sudden urgent confession to me. I remember him saying “I love you“ and my saying it back.And as I remember this scene somehow incongruously the words of an old Donna Summer song tap out a ref
28、rain in my mind: Last dance, last chancefor loveIt was indeed the first, last and only dance that I ever had with my father.

A survey of knowledge management, Knowledge Unplugged, published in 2005 by McKinsey, found

While firms might turn to external partners to enhance their knowledge base, the sharing will be incomplete without mutual trust.Since “knowledge“ is such a vague te

Do you need to move quickly, or is this a subject that needs to be explored in greater depth?And bear in mind that styles of learning vary. Some people will profit most
40、 from informal networking; some enjoy learning in a classroom; others will be able to take advantage of the company intranet. Be flexible in the pursuit of knowledge; it is better to set performance targets, concentrate on meeting them, and allow individuals and their teams to explore their own solu
