How to Become CEO: The Rules for Rising to the Top of Any Organization
by Jeffrey J Fox
Always Take the Job That Offers the Most Money
After you have decided what you want to do--whether it is banking, advertising, manufacturing, or something else--go to work for the company that offers you the most money. If you have not decided what kind of career or industry is for you, then take the job that offers the most money. If you are in a corporation, always take the transfer, promotion, or assignment that pays the most money.
There are several important reasons why you go for the money. First, all of your benefits, perquisites, bonuses, and subsequent raises will be based on your salary. Corporations give all extra compensation in percentages. Therefore, a 10 percent raise on a $22,000 salary is $2000 better than the same raise on a $20,000 salary.
Second, the higher paid you are, the more visible to top management you will be.
Third, the more money you are paid, the more contribution will be expected of you. This means you will be given more responsibility, tasks, and problems to solve. And a chance to perform is an invitation to success.
Fourth, if two people are candidates for a promotion to a job that pays $50,000, and one person makes $30,000 and the other $40,000 the higher paid person always gets the job. The higher paid person gets the job regardless of talent, contribution, or anything else. Corporations usually take the easy way out, and it is easier to promote the higher paid than the lower.*
Finally, in business, money is the scoreboard. The more you make, the better you're doing. Simple.
*Promoting the higher paid is the path of no resistance in most organizations. Someone approved the higher paid person's compensation. Others concurred. To leapfrog the higher paid diminishes the sponsor of the higher paid. And the sponsors of the higher paid are, themselves, even higher paid. Promoting the higher paid endorses the wisdom of upper management.

The Linguist
Transcription :
Hello, this is Steve Kauffman here, talk about something a little different today. (...)language. We are here at thelinguist.blogs.com.
Today I went for a haircut. My barber talks a lot. Sometimes he even stops cutting just to talk, which I find mildly annoying. On the other hand I am always entertained for 30 minutes while he cuts my hair. He does a good job and charges me 18 dollars, which is not the cheapest, but not the most expensive, haircut in Vancouver.
He told me that he came to Canada as a 16 year old, 20 years ago. He went to hair dressing school and then worked for a chain of hair salons for 5 years, in different locations in the city. He got to know the personalities of different kinds of clients. He didn't like working in the heavily Chinese district of Richmond because, in his words, the customers would arrive late and expect to be served right away. If they were not served immediately, they assumed that the customer who was being served in their place had paid extra. He did not like the pressure of that situation.
He eventually opened his own shop in North Vancouver. He said that he made sure to learn about all the subjects that his clients were interested in, from fly fishing to the stock market. He knew that if customers liked him, they would come back.
After 20 years in Canada, dealing with English speaking Canadian clients, his English is just terrible. His pronunciation, use of words, structure, you name it, are all quite poor. When he talked about a leading politician and his wife, "he" and "she" were regularly used wrong. I had trouble understanding whom he was talking about. People who are not used to Chinese accents must have trouble understanding him. His English is poor even by the standards of his native Hong Kong.
So what is the conclusion ? He doesn't represent everyone but just being immersed in the language and talking the language will not necessarily improve you. You need to want to improve. You need to have a deliberate program of improvement. You need to listen.
On the other hand, my barber was successful at building up a customer base, and did not seem to feel inhibited in any way by his poor English. He was a communicator, although a better talker than a listener. I have not suggested to him that he join The Linguist.

Introduction
Hi
I'm Yann Nivet
My email address is yann.nivet@hotmail.fr
I was born in Pau on September, the twenty eight, nineteen-eighty-seven.
I was raised in Perpignan, in the south of France, near Spain. I went to school there until I obtain my Baccalaureat S.
Then I left Perpignan to continue my studies in Montpellier. I studied cinema for two years at the university Paul Valery. It was really interesting to discover cinema, audiovisual .... and above all to party.
After those two years, I wanted to discover more things. So, I decided to spend one year in Montreal, in Canada thanks to a students exchange. I continued my cinema studies in Quebec at The Université de Montréal. I've also travelled a little In Quebec and USA. It was really fun, because Quebec is a really interesting country, and for my studies it was really great to discover new works methods and all the quebecoise cinema.
But all those studies were maily theoreticals and now I want to discover more things and to practice.
That's why i'm at the Imac school.
I really enjoy cinema and photography, even if my practice isn't really good. I like live music. I enjoy outdoor too : I like particularly climbing and snowboarding.
There isn'nt really a particular job that i want do, but my objectives are to work in audiovisual world. Because it's fascinating and there's a lot of possibilities.

"The first think" => thing
(I think you wrote it too fast ^^)
Hi Yann !
I have to make corrections so...
"the twenty eigth" : there is just a switch between the "t" and the "h"
"I enjoy outdoor to" : if you want to say that you like outdoor activities like our teacher, the "o" is missing "I enjoy outdoor too"
"isn'nt" => isn't
youhhouu yann !
I was born => was borned
The Université de Montréal => Montréal university
Hello Yann,
I've found some mistakes:
- "My email adress is ..." : there is two "d" in address.
-"It was really interesting for discover cinema, audiovisual..." : I think it's not "interesting for" but "interesting to".
Hi Yann !
I found some mistakes.
"until I obtain my Baccalaureat S". I think "I obtained" (Past tense) is more correct.
"for two years at the university Paul Valery" => "for two years at Paul Valery University"
