I also wished him and his family best for their safety and well-being during this dangerous time in his land. A couple of

28、days later, his reply appeared in my inbox. It read, in part: “hi dear Dr. Im very happy to hear good news from you and your help, also I d like to thank you for your feelings towards me and my family . thank you very much for help I want to tell you that I m ready to help you in mosul university/ir

29、aq if you need that. “ Maher also explained in his broken English that he was interested in a paper I d written on the use of lactobacillus acidophilus (a healthy product that can be found in yogurt (酸奶 ) and other foods). It was his hope that he could use my findings to help find a treatment for ga

30、strointestinal (消化系统的 ) illness. He signed off:“ warmest regards to you and lovely family. “ Despite his difficulty with the language, he had painted a picture for me 由 at was far more than a simple request for information.

Yet, at the end of the effort, not much changes. What happens? In most cases, those new plans, programs and employees enter a company with

35、an existing culture (文化 ). And plans, programs and new employees have a way of conforming to(顺应 )the existing culture. The culture of your business is the result of a particular mindset , or a particular way of thinking and the general feelings about certain things. Most often, it is the mindset of

As the saying goes, if you do and think what you have always done and thought, you will have what you have always had. Therefo

38、re, lasting changes have to start with the way people think.

43、itectural experts. The Chan mini-house was built on what was once a path down the side of a big Victarian house. Not an inch of space is wasted.
