小世界

如果你是一个GF wower，并且现在还没放弃wow,那么很可能你正像我般无聊地做着一件同样无聊的事：把各种职业的小号练到70。

一次又一次的重复那些任务会让你郁闷不已，于是你很可能跟我一样选择出G直接刷副本把小号升上去——现在有不少玩家提供带刷副本的服务，购买他们的服务会耗费你不少游戏金币，但是却可以换来效率与大量的时间。

于是，作为一个customer，你可能会遇到我所遇到的尴尬情况——

“我不带你了。”  -by 某xd，ZUL门口

原因是当时我选择了另一个'businessman'，他的价格更便宜，而这之前，大概2个小时，一直是这个xd在带我们。

便宜没好货。好吧，我又亲身实践了一次这个道理，当我再次M回那个xd时，他说了开头所展示的那句话。

现在，如果你跟我一样遇到了类似的这种情况，会不会引起你一声感慨：我把自己卖给你了吗？

“顾客是上帝。”

really so?

现实的例子可能更有说明力：

在大学城的商业中心，有2家相邻的小店子，主要提供现炒的热菜，人气都挺不错，其中有一家是我还在大学城读书时经常去的，老板X待我也很热情。后来有段日子陪同学去旁边那家吃饭，一段时间后，再去原来那里买饭时，噢，天，老板的态度让人觉得，我欠了他20大洋。所幸，现实还不至令让他说出“我不卖你了”诸如此类的话。

所谓的顾客，怎么反而像个slave?

“这都是骗人，正因为顾客成不了上帝，始终处于被斩的地位，所以才鼓吹什么顾客是上帝。” -by一匿名网友

平时听过不少professional service的例子，然而基本都是由国外而来，究竟什么时候，在这片大陆上，我们也可以自豪的对世界说“我们是这里的上帝”？

……法律的梦，也是我们大家的梦，是让时光轮回，在损害发生之前阻止损害的发生……

……但在一定程度，这也许是可能的……

……ex ante。按照这种方法，需要向前看，考虑这个案子的裁决对将来会产生哪些效应——对类似情形中所涉及的各方，他们尚未决定将来做些什么，他们将来的选择可能会受到该案法律裁决的影响……

……伊利若斯州最高法院对此说道：“在这类特殊的案件中，判决的结果可能显得无情、不公正，但是，如果不如此裁决，就等于鼓励更多的犯罪分子采用类似暴力手段，在将来也就无法保护更多的顾客，这种后果是我们无法承担的。”……

“……所以‘法’这个字，就不能有‘为你好’这个观念来强制对方接受，可以把‘为你好’这种心情告诉他，不能强制他。”

“在我们的社会中一直存在着奇怪的现象，就是找‘有力人士’帮忙。从犯法、就业，乃至小孩入小学，都要‘设法’，但是这个‘设法’，不是‘守法’，而是找人来‘越法’……”

The first 30 days after a job loss will no doubt be filled with fear, anxiety and impatience. You might hear experts talk about the importance of updating your resume, leaning on your network of contacts and even starting that hobby you always wanted to try. Here, Ariane de Bonvoisin, author of The First 30 Days: Your Guide to Making Any Change Easier, shares some tips for coping with a job loss that people won’t necessarily tell you about.
1. Give yourself some real time to figure out your next step. That may mean weeks, not a few hours! Don't feel compelled to jump right back into the work force. You will feel some shock—the same way you would feel shock after any loss. Take some time to deal with that. When you are ready to jump back in, keep your options open. This might be a good time to explore a new field that you've always wanted to try but never had the time to, start a business, or go back to school.

When looking for a job online, expand your horizons and don't limit your search to where you live.
2. The next job you take may be a transitional one. Whether it's full or part time, embrace it. Every experience is a valuable one and you never know where it may lead. It's OK to freelance or find part-time work to get some cash flow until you find the perfect new position. In fact, you may find that you don't need a full-time job as much as you thought you did to be happy and secure.
3. Look for companies, not jobs, and change the way you apply. Find companies with missions and values that you can get behind. Employers are much more interested in candidates who have a passion for the company than someone who is just looking for a paycheck. Remember, your resume and cover letter are not unique. With the huge number of layoffs today, there are likely to be many more people you have to compete against for a single position. You have to find new skills and new selling points in your abilities to highlight on your resume and your social networking pages.
Your reputation and your online persona play much more of a role in getting you a new job than your resume or your cover letter ever could. Your profiles on Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn should be spruced up and optimized as much as possible to make you as attractive as you can be to a potential employer. And don't forget to Google yourself to see what comes up.
4. Celebrate—maybe even take a vacation. You probably didn't take time away while you were at your last job—use this period of adjustment to break free. It'll give you a chance to get some perspective. Have drinks or a party and celebrate being laid off. Put a positive spin on this. Enjoy yourself. This will be one of the few times in life that you're unencumbered by work. Read. Sleep. Do all the things you never get to do...believe it or not, you'll miss this time when it's gone.
5. Use your health insurance while you still have it. I bet you haven't been taking care of yourself or haven't had the time. Get a full physical, go to the dentist. You can also explore meditation, acupuncture, or other complimentary therapies that can help you de-stress. Finding your next dream job is an endurance test and requires a lot of energy. Start eating well, do a cleanse, and go to the gym. Your energy and self-esteem will get a boost and this will be felt by everyone around you, including future employers.
6. Realize that something good will come from this (I call this The Change Guarantee). Write it down somewhere visible. In the end, this job loss is probably a good thing. Make yourself write a list of 3 things that help you see the upside from this downside. You'll end up better off, no matter what. You may not see it now, but you'll triumph over this job loss in ways you couldn't imagine.
7. Don’t rehash the story, blame something or someone for the loss or explain it to everyone ad nauseam. Blame never accomplishes anything. Don’t get addicted to your story: Why you got fired or how unlucky you are. It will hold you back. There is no shame or embarrassment to be had. Every successful person has lost a job at some stage. Instead of feeling shame, honor this as just a life change that will make you stronger. Stick around optimistic people, not victim circles. Ask yourself, "Who are you not thinking of that can help you?" And also, "Who is holding you back?"
8. Always frame things in the positive. Say things like "I'm excited I'm back in the job market. It has given me a chance to really go after a job that I love," as opposed to, "I recently got fired/lost my job." People who are optimists and have positive beliefs will always get through this change better than others.
9. Let go of the way life should have gone. Resisting the job loss causes more pain. Sometimes you know why you were fired, sometimes you just don't. Don't waste any time figuring it out. Be mature about anything you feel may have contributed to it. See the difference between reality and illusion (reality is you lost your job, illusion is you'll never find another job.) Take a moment to go inside yourself, get silent and listen to your intuition. Some of your best ideas will come when you slow down enough and tune in.
10. Looking for a job is now your job. It may take a lot longer to find a new job than you think it will. Many people are running out their unemployment benefits, taking six months or more to find a new job. You might have to settle for less. We're in a tough economic climate and the dream job you want might not be available for the next few years. Some jobs leave the market and never come back, and you may be facing that reality. Don't get discouraged. Remember, even in a bad economy, there are always jobs for good people.
