今天是我們美安事業的一個轉淚點(請進來看看我們的真情告白)

各位夥伴： 今天是我們美安事業的一個轉淚點(請看看我們的真情告白) 過去兩個月很多夥伴都知道我們這個團隊要衝PC，大家都很努力的去買貨賣貨，招募及不斷的加入新夥伴。我們看到大家的努力，看到BV的累積，都很感動，也為這個團隊的動力及氣氛很自豪。我們本來離目標那麼近，幾乎可以觸摸得到，正當我以為PC是囊中物時，卻因為我個人一個小小的失誤，一時看得不夠緊，因為小小的51 BV令有一週做不到5000/5000。大家兩個月的功夫，團隊的努力，都白費了！就好像由美夢變成惡夢一樣，我跟太太都突然像刺穿了氣球一樣，立即就呼呼的洩了氣…… 我們跟太太這兩個月都訓了身去衝，我就連培訓及財務策劃的生意都放開一旁，差不多全時間去做美安，只是希望一心把團隊的目標一氣達成。估計不到前兩天我們才知道自己的失誤，之後我們還是拚命去爭取，不斷想辦法，瘋狂的打電話給美安香港的同事及美國的服務同事(真的感激STAFF的用心幫忙！)，狂讀CAREER MANUAL專業手冊希望找出一點漏洞可以把問題扭轉過來(說真的，從來沒有這麼認真的讀過)，結果呢？今天已經塵埃落定，已經100%肯定達不到PC的目標了…… 洩氣之餘，也讓我深深的反省。本來我們因為極度失望而變得十分疲累，更失控地跟太太一起嘆氣地說：「我想放棄不做美安了……」好傻嗎？真的好傻。但我們的感覺不是因為做不到PC而失望，而是因為看到各位夥伴都為我們這個目標付出了很多，我們覺得愧對大家，大家兩個月的努力都白費了，你知道嗎？這兩個月內很多夥伴，包括了我們下面的，上面的及旁邊的，都犧牲了自己個人的利益來配合這個團隊的目標，對追不到PC這個壞消息，你叫我們可以如何開口？我們真的很慚愧。所以我們想放棄，不想再面對大家的詢問。 幸好我們的神看顧我們，在我們軟弱時給我們鼓勵，給我看到了"當夢想變成惡夢，醒來"這段網路上美妙的信息！對！是時候醒來了！惡夢是只一個踏腳石，為要我們有力量成就更高目標，攀越更高巔峰！ 正如Dr Robert Schuller所言：「不為困難所止，只為希望所動！」 當然更令我感動的是有些夥伴在FACEBOOK都知道我們這次失誤時，大家沒有因為犧牲了自己個人的利益來配合，卻落得一場空而責怪我們，反而第一時間安慰我們，說追不到不重要，說下次一定好快又追到，就一定撐我們，等等等等。你知道嗎？你們在FACEBOOK寫的時候，你們在電話另一端說鼓勵說話的時候，我的眼淚都在偷偷的流出來，只是我不想表現軟弱的一面，沒有哭出來給你們知道而已。 當神的大能及夥伴的支持幫助我慢慢尋回動力時，我才明白以前聽過的一個故事： 在19世紀的美國芝加哥，有一個工業家，管理一家很大的工廠。有一天工廠發生火災，廠房、所有的生意設備及貨物全都被燒成灰燼。幸好工業家旗下的經理及工人都因為平日火警演習做足準備，全都無損傷地逃離火場了。這場大火範圍很大，工業家附近的工廠都一樣蒙受巨大損失，不能再投產了。 事後所有老闆聚集開會商討，所有人都意興闌珊，說要把這個廢墟重建起來，不如轉到其他地方再投產算了。只有剛剛提到的工業家，他說：「我最值錢的資產不是工廠那座建築物，也不是生產機械，而是我們的一班經理及員工。上天把我們的一切拿走了，只要留下我的團隊，兩年之內我們一定可以重新站起來，甚至比以前做得更好！」 果然很多老闆都離開了，只有那個工業家真的在兩年內東山再起，甚至比以前更出色，乘勝追擊地買了附近很多其他人放棄了的地皮，結果成為了地產大亨，富甲一方。他的名字叫 Marshal Field。 我們的情況不是一樣嗎？ 我初初誤以為BV、PC是生意的重點，其實都錯了！BV及PIN LEVEL(經銷商級別)只是生意外圍的表現，真正的核心是團隊裏的每一個人！團隊就好像會生金蛋的鵝，而BV就是那些金蛋。現在損失了一些金蛋，有什麼所謂呢？反正我們寶貴的鵝生得肥肥白白，而且越來越壯碩，那怕不久她不再生金蛋麼？BV及佣金是因為失誤而損失了，但夥伴不是還是那一班充滿動力及愛心的好夥伴嗎？我當初好希望12月追到PC這個目標，明年第一季再追SC(每週5000/5000)這個大目標！現在好像PC的目標破滅了，SC已經變得好渺茫。其實想深一層，我們確實已經做到PC的生產額了，只是因為失誤而BV計不出來而已，我們追逐SC這個目標，豈不是已經在正確軌道上奔馳嗎？ 十分感謝上天，給我這個機會，好好學習得到美安生意的核心，不是BV，不是級別，而是各位夥伴，是你。沒有你，其他一切都只是虛浮的外表。有你，每一個夥伴的成功，才是我們成功的保證！感謝上天。感謝大家。願成功路上大家一起拚，一起哭，一起笑。 全心全力要你成功的 Alex Lam

減肥必勝食譜：高蛋白質

(法新社)2010年11月25日 星期四 12:05

（法新社華盛頓 24日電）



丹麥研究人員找出預防及治療肥胖的致勝食譜：攝取高蛋白質 ，並少吃精緻澱粉如白吐司和白米等。



哥本哈根大學（University of Copenhagen）生命科學院研究人員，拿歐洲官方飲食建議，與近期強調以蛋白質和碳水化合物控制食慾的飲食結構兩相比較，研究人員總結，歐洲官方飲食建議「不足以預防肥胖」。


這分代號為古希臘 哲學家「第歐根尼」（Diogenes）的專案研究，刊載於11月25日的新英格蘭 醫學期刊（New England Journal of Medicine）。第歐根尼崇尚自然的生活方式。



研究報告聲明：「如果想減肥，飲食應該富含高蛋白質、多吃瘦肉、低脂乳製品和豆類，減少攝取精緻澱粉卡路里，如白吐司和精緻白米等。」
報告說：「遵照此種飲食方式，可以吃到飽，不用記算卡路里，不必擔心體重上升問題。」（譯者：中央社陳禹安）

Abstract

Background

Studies of weight-control diets that are high in protein or low in glycemic index have

reached varied conclusions, probably owing to the fact that the studies had insufficient

power.

Methods

We enrolled overweight adults from eight European countries who had lost at least

8% of their initial body weight with a 3.3-MJ (800-kcal) low-calorie diet. Participants

were randomly assigned, in a two-by-two factorial design, to one of five ad libitum

diets to prevent weight regain over a 26-week period: a low-protein and low-glycemicindex

diet, a low-protein and high-glycemic-index diet, a high-protein and lowglycemic-

index diet, a high-protein and high-glycemic-index diet, or a control diet.

Results

A total of 1209 adults were screened (mean age, 41 years; body-mass index [the weight

in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters], 34), of whom 938 entered

the low-calorie-diet phase of the study. A total of 773 participants who completed

that phase were randomly assigned to one of the five maintenance diets; 548 completed

the intervention (71%). Fewer participants in the high-protein and the lowglycemic-

index groups than in the low-protein–high-glycemic-index group dropped

out of the study (26.4% and 25.6%, respectively, vs. 37.4%; P = 0.02 and P = 0.01 for the

respective comparisons). The mean initial weight loss with the low-calorie diet was

11.0 kg. In the analysis of participants who completed the study, only the lowprotein–

high-glycemic-index diet was associated with subsequent significant weight

regain (1.67 kg; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.48 to 2.87). In an intention-to-treat

analysis, the weight regain was 0.93 kg less (95% CI, 0.31 to 1.55) in the groups assigned

to a high-protein diet than in those assigned to a low-protein diet (P = 0.003) and

0.95 kg less (95% CI, 0.33 to 1.57) in the groups assigned to a low-glycemic-index

diet than in those assigned to a high-glycemic-index diet (P = 0.003). The analysis

involving participants who completed the intervention produced similar results. The

groups did not differ significantly with respect to diet-related adverse events.

Conclusions

In this large European study, a modest increase in protein content and a modest reduction

in the glycemic index led to an improvement in study completion and maintenance

of weight loss. (Funded by the European Commission; ClinicalTrials.gov
