下午模考之作，思路堵塞，晚上改稿

=======================================================


People alwaysprefer new thing to replace the old one. As an analogy, when you watch a playand find there is a new face in the stage, you will feel curious and holdinterest to enjoy his performance. To large extent, a new actor will usuallyinject the snap to the play. A new actor is to the cast what a new leadershipis to an enterprise. Except for the curiosity, a new leadership will bring morecheeses to the enterprise in practice.

The centralconcept behind this phenomenon of the replacing of leadership is the replacingof idea which the leaders hold. Especially this principle is applied in thebusiness well. You will find the employee turnover rate in the business issignificant high than in any other fields. That stems from the dramatic changesin market. Market, usually compared to the battlefield, is filled ofcompetition. Every company in the market aims to get a bigger cake, even wantto get more profits from their rivals. Therefore, a new strategy is vital foran ambitious company. Through the new strategy, the share of the company in themarket will increase. While these new strategy usually come from the newleadership. For example, after managing by a new leadership, KFC began to selltheir food with toys, possibly which attracted the children more than the fooditself, but McDonald’s didn't. So at the moment, KFC gained a big profit fromits new ideas in sale.

Moreover alteringthe leadership in certain time such as five years has another advantage in enterprise.It is reasonable to alter a leadership concerning the corruption. Once he does,he has to responsibility for the money. That is to say he has to give a biggercake back to the one who gives him by undermining the interests of enterprise.Otherwise, the one will release the scandal to the media. Then the result istoo easy to assume. But indeed if he does so, when he has to leave, some thingcannot be clarified to the new leadership. Sooner or later, the new leaderswill find the truth. Obviously, no matter either of these happens, his life inprison is coming soon. Thus it is a useful obstacle for corruption.

Notwithstanding,since some enterprises don’t know the essence of altering our leadership in acertain time, they change their leadership in an incorrect moment. For example,a leadership of a company had made 10-year strategy 5 years ago. Now thestrategy is under their control. But it is the time to change the leadership.In spite of the strategy, the company still alters their leadership as before. Sincea new leadership maybe cannot understand the core concept of this 10-yearstrategy, they will stop it and then an unexpected loss is waiting for him inthe corner. Factually, altering his leadership now is unnecessary. Why shouldwe not alter our leadership, even though they have been there five years ormore? Actually, the answer is that altering the leadership aims to deal the newproblems their former leaders cannot solve. If they can solve, alteringleadership is unnecessary.

In a nutshell,through changing the leadership in a certain time, such as five years orlonger, the aim is to inject the new energy for the enterprise. If theleadership can alter their mind with the development of the circumstance andresolve the dilemma effectively, it is waste to change it. Whether change aleadership or not rely on their ability of solving the changing problems.

晚上重整旗鼓，再战ISSUE之作！

======================================================

Water is to fishwhat individual interests are to scholars and researchers. It is incorrect toemphasize too much on their work in terms of society interests, instead torespect their individual interests, even though these interests may seem unusualor useless.

Without anydisputes, people cannot denied that the essence energy of the scholars andresearchers for exploring the unknown area in their fields is their individualinterests, which bolster them to keep moving toward to their goal. During theodyssey to their goal, they inevitably confront myriad and untold difficulties,which common people deem would even dampen or quench their confidence and passion. But they overcome thesedifficulties unbelievably and achieve their goal finally. Yet, how can thesescholars and researchers present the value of their hard works? The most commonway is to satisfy certain society interests. It is universally known that thevalue of our works will be evaluated by the standard-whether our works have contributedto the interests of the society. So do the scholars and researchers. When itcomes to evaluate a scholar or researcher, their works concerning the interestsof society become the central weight.

Therefore, thebest way for scholars and researchers is to pursue their individual interestswith concerning the interests of society. Many of them achieve it. Darwin, agreat biologist in the 19th century, set up the theory of evolution, which isreferenced as one of the greatest theory in 19th century. He was interest inobserving animals when he was a child. He kept his dream, when he grew up.Despite of solitude and loneliness, he worked on the insolated island forobserving these animals with his great interest. Besides, Edison, who isthought as one of 100 greatest men in 20th century by TIME, had hold more than1000 patents at his age of 21. The same to Darwin, his interest for inventing was bornwith him.

Unfortunately,albeit works of many scholars and researchers can achieve their individualinterests with the interests of society, some of them fail currently. Howeverthe value of their works possibly would be presented after several years,thirties, fifties, and seventies or even longer. Nash, for example, who won theNobel prize in 1991 inhis seventies, comes up with the game theory when he was twenties. And thetheory was speculated by Einstein at first. But with development of society,the game theory-reflects the influence of chances and events hidden inside thecomplex things-is widely applied in military, economy, business and nearlyevery field in daily life. Thus we should be kind for these unusual oridiosyncratic ideas. Who can know the hidden value inside these ideas? Maybeonly God can.

In a nutshell,scholars and researchers whose interests combining well with the society's interestsare lucky. They usually can enjoy their individual interests with a high praise of the public. Meanwhile, weshould also give more cares and comprehensionto those whose value of interests cannot reflect now.
