最近的趋势表明，越来越多的公司选择在工作场所屏蔽社交媒体。禁止社交媒体成果背后的一般想法是它会对生产力产生负面影响。但真的是这样吗？
事实是，屏蔽社交媒体并非易事。是的，您可以使用各种软件程序来做到这一点。但是对于每个阻止程序，还会弹出四个有助于绕过阻止的程序。这就是它的工作原理。手机、笔记本电脑和平板电脑还可以更轻松地绕过社交媒体限制。实际上，员工最终会花更多的时间来弄清楚如何超越强加的限制，而不是他们实际花在检查社交媒体渠道中的更新上。
其次，生产力。正如大多数人认为的那样，它不是时间的度量，而是产出的度量。简单来说，如果汤姆（Tom）因为一直在 YouTube 上看搞笑视频而效率低下，那么当媒体被屏蔽时，他成为工作狂的可能性很小。或许，他只会另辟蹊径，自娱自乐。
关于生产力的另一件事。想想您的员工在家里查看工作电子邮件、回复与工作相关的 Skype 消息或迟到的国际电话花费了多少时间？那么拒绝他们在工作中可能会错过的任何形式的个人交流真的公平吗？
那么黄金时间在哪里呢？
首先，我们必须承认，我们生活在网络网络和社交媒体的世界中。因此，与其对抗创新，也许我们应该学会融入我们的生活，将其变成一种有价值的商业工具，而不是盲目的浪费时间。
如何拥有清晰的视野
（图片）
我们通过在笔记本电脑上浏览新闻和更新来开始新的一天，然后继续整天盯着电脑屏幕度过我们的夜晚，并且经常以一部好看的电影和一袋薯片结束我们的夜晚。
事实是，我们确实花了很多时间在屏幕前。尽管它很方便，但它确实会给我们的眼睛带来负担。
所以这里有一些关于如何让你的眼睛得到长期需要的休息的办法。
练习一：手掌。
将手掌摩擦在一起以产生热量。接下来，将手掌压在眼睛上。让热量温暖并放松您的眼睛几分钟。
练习二：眨眼。
不眨眼是计算机引起的眼睛疲劳的原因之一，因为它会使您的眼睛变干并导致发痒。每隔一小时，让自己停止盯着屏幕并眨眼 20 次。
练习三：翻眼按摩。
不，我们并不是说对过分要求的客户翻白眼实际上对您的眼睛有好处。这是一种不同的练习，非常有效且简单：只需闭上眼睛，用手以圆周运动按摩（滚动）即可。这有助于避免干燥并减轻肌肉的压力。
每天坚持做这三个练习，在不到一周的时间里，您将对您的业务有一个清晰的无压力视野。

TOP FIVE LANGUAGES FOR BUSINESS (not including English)
No matter which corner of the world this year finds you in, we are all living a more and more international life. Our projects may take us to different cities, countries or even continents in a matter of hours. However, it takes more than a plane ticket to get a foot in a foreign market. And speaking the language is often a formidable advantage to making it big.
So what are the top business languages of today (and hopefully the future)?
Here’s our take on it:
5. Portuguese
Brazil’s influence on the global economic arena has been growing in the past years. It also helps that the country boasts a population of over 200 million. Portuguese is also spoken on Portugal (naturally), Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe, East Timor, Macau and a number of communities in Spain, France and Luxembourg.
4. Russian
Despite a number of economic and political issues, Russia is a strong international player. Moscow holds the first place in the worlds when it comes to the number of billionaires and the country is rich in natural resources, which offers great opportunities for investment.
The language is very different from English and not easy to learn. But that’s a good thing! The fewer people speak it, the more in demand you’ll be after mastering it.
3. Spanish
The US alone has over 35 million Spanish speakers and there are over 425 million Spanish speakers worldwide. It is considered relatively easy for English speakers and you will not have problems finding materials or a tutor in any corner of the world.
2. Arabic
Arabic is the primary language of some of the world’s up-and-coming nations, wealth centers, and frontier markets.
Areas like Dubai and Abu Dhabi have become the world’s emerging financial centres but wealthy Middle Easterners will also look to diversify their wealth outside of the region, creating opportunities for those who speak their language to tap into lucrative business deals
1. Chinese
China presents a seemingly endless source of business opportunities in today’s economy. And to add to that, Mandarin (the official language of Chinese mainland) is spoken by over 1.3 billion people. True, a great number of Chinese citizens are going to great lengths to improve their English, but currently barely ten million of Chinese speak good English.
最适合商务的五种语言（不包括英语）

无论今年你在世界的哪个角落，我们都过着越来越国际化的生活。我们的项目可能会在几个小时内将我们带到不同的城市、国家甚至大洲。然而，要涉足国外市场，需要的不仅仅是一张机票。说这门语言通常是让它变得更大的强大优势。
那么，当今（以及未来）的顶级商业语言是什么？
这是我们的看法：
5. 葡萄牙语
过去几年，巴西对全球经济领域的影响力一直在增长。它还有助于该国拥有超过 2 亿的人口。葡萄牙（自然地）、安哥拉、佛得角、几内亚比绍、赤道几内亚、莫桑比克、圣多美和普林西比、东帝汶、澳门以及西班牙、法国和卢森堡的一些社区也使用葡萄牙语。
4. 俄语
尽管存在许多经济和政治问题，但俄罗斯是一个强大的国际参与者。莫斯科在亿万富翁人数方面位居世界第一，该国自然资源丰富，提供了巨大的投资机会。
该语言与英语有很大不同，而且不容易学习。但这是一件好事！说它的人越少，掌握它后你的需求就会越大。
3. 西班牙语
仅美国就有超过 3500 万讲西班牙语的人，全球有超过 4.25 亿讲西班牙语的人。对于说英语的人来说，这被认为相对容易，而且您在世界任何角落寻找材料或导师都不会有问题。
2. 阿拉伯语
阿拉伯语是世界上一些新兴国家、财富中心和前沿市场的主要语言。
迪拜和阿布扎比等地区已成为世界新兴的金融中心，但富有的中东人也将寻求在该地区以外的地区实现财富多元化，为那些说他们的语言的人创造机会参与利润丰厚的商业交易
1. 中文
在当今的经济中，中国提供了看似无穷无尽的商机。此外，超过 13 亿人使用普通话（中国大陆的官方语言）。诚然，很多中国公民都在不遗余力地提高他们的英语水平，但目前只有一千万中国人说一口流利的英语。
圣诞节快乐！

圣诞节快乐！
What Does Your Desk Say About You? Part II
Here are a few easy things to look for, along with what they reveal about personality:
1. An organized desk says… you’re reliable and punctual
It should cone as no surprise that people with organized desks tend to be those who are good at planning and getting things done on time.
“When I go into a space, I look for a calendar first,” Gosling says, since an up-to-date, used desk calendar is another sign of a conscientious person.
2. Unusual objects say… you’re creative and open to new experiences.
People with original art or a diverse array of objects tend to be willing to embrace new ideas or experiences and are often creative.
“If you go in and think, wow, I’ve never seen that before, they’re likely high in openness,” Gosling says.
3. Inspirational posters and messages say… you’re neurotic.
Those who surround themselves with inspirational statements are usually the classic Type A personality.
“Inspirational statements help calm anxiety and keep together emotionally” – Golsing says.
4. An inviting space says… you’re extroverted.
People whose spaces/offices seem to be exceptionally inviting (open doors, comfortable chairs, candy jars and so on) tend to be very sociable. Sociability can pave the way for promotions and new opportunities, so introverts may help their careers by adding a few inviting touches. “People can learn to exercise that side,” Gosling says. “But it’ll never be pleasant like it is for someone who is biologically this way. It’s not intrinsic.”
What Does Your Desk Say About You? Part I
We live in a world where everybody encourages us to focus on the work at hand and more than often we tend to ignore the seemingly unimportant details. But in fact, they may be able to send out a message about us, leaving us unaware of the impressions we make.
So what do our desk say about us? Or, of you are a boss or manager, what additional information can you learn about your employees that may help you motivate them better and built a more productive relationship?
According to Sam Gosling, a psychologist and professor at the University of Texas at Austin and author or Snoop: What Does Your Stuff Says About You (Basic Books, 2009) says: “People want to be known. You’re healthier, happier and more productive when others see you as who you are”.
“Take a look at your colleague’s/employee’s desk. What does the space look like? What personal objects are there? It’s really important to look for themes. Focus on the objects that are consistent and permanent” – Gosling stresses.

你的办公桌对您有何评价？第一部分
你的办公桌对您有何评价？第二部分

这里有一些容易寻找的东西，以及它们揭示的关于个性的东西：
1. 一张井井有条的办公桌说……你可靠而且准时
毫无疑问，办公桌井井有条的人往往擅长计划和按时完成工作。
“当我进入一个空间时，我首先会寻找日历，”高斯林（Gosling）说，因为最新的、使用过的台历是一个有责任心的人的另一个标志。
2. 不寻常的物品说……你很有创意，对新体验持开放态度。
拥有原创艺术或各种物品的人往往愿意接受新的想法或经验，并且通常具有创造力。
“如果你进去想一想，哇，我以前从未见过这种情况，他们可能非常开放，”高斯林（Gosling）说。
3. 励志海报和信息说……你神经质。
那些用鼓舞人心的语句包围自己的人通常是典型的 A 型人格。
“鼓舞人心的陈述有助于平息焦虑并在情感上保持一致” – 高斯林（Golsing ）说。
4 . 一个诱人的空间说……你很外向。
空间/办公室似乎特别吸引人（敞开的门、舒适的椅子、糖果罐等）的人往往非常善于交际。社交能力可以为晋升和新机会铺平道路，因此内向的人可以通过增加一些吸引人的接触来帮助他们的职业生涯。“人们可以学习锻炼那一侧，”高斯林（Gosling）说。“但它永远不会像生物学上这样的人那样令人愉快。这不是内在的。”
