24. “A powerful business leader has far more opportunity to influence the course of a community or a nation than does any government official.”

“一个有力的企业领导比一个政府官员有更多的机会影响一个社团或国家的方针。”

 

It is true that a powerful business leader has far more opportunity to influence the course of a community or a nation than does any government official.  We have to admit that the development of a nation and the important role in the international issues are based on the economic growth of certain nation.  The economic growth is attributed to the great efforts of private business.  Also, it is common that social groups strive for more say in political issues when their economic power increases.  Some successful entrepreneurs not only make money themselves, but also contribute to society and the state through tax revenues and job creation.  Therefore, they deserve public respect and should be able to enter legislative or advisory bodies

 

To begin with, just three decades ago, private business owners were non-existent in China.  Since late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping launched the reform and opening-up drive in 1978, the private sector has staged a strong comeback, gradually regaining its status.  As the private sector contributes more and more to the country's economic growth, private entrepreneurs' social status has also undergone major changes. When Englishman Rupert Hoogewerf searches for the "richest people in China" each year, he notices that not only is the candidates' personal wealth surging, but also their political status and influence.  Thirty-eight of the top 100 business tycoons in the edition of Hoogewerf's China version of the Forbes rich list, released in October 2006, had a seat in the country's top national legislature or top political advisory body.  They included 19 deputies to the National People's Congress (NPC), and 19 members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).  Private business people have become more active and vocal on China's political stage in recent years.  During the NPC conference which is held every March to decide on major legislation and policies in the country, the business leaders contribute a lot to group discussions with lawmakers and advisors.   The confidence and political passion might find their roots in the flourishing economy.  Statistics released in September by the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC) showed that China's private sector accounted for 65 percent of GDP (gross domestic product), and the figure was expected to reach three quarters in the next five years.

 

Furthermore, the role of the private business sector has been defined as a supplement to the state-owned sector, an important part of the economy, and a fundamental part of the economic system.  The definition fully acknowledged private business’ contribution to growth, taxation and employment.  Party and government policy changes have made it possible for more and more private business leaders to appear on China's political stage, especially since 2002.  Yin Mingshan, president of the privately owned motorcycle manufacturer Lifan Group, became vice chairman of the CPPCC Municipal Committee of Southwest China's Chongqing
                Municipality in early 2003, a vice-minister-level position.  The appointment was widely viewed as a signal that people from the private business could take part in high-level decision-making in China.  The participation of private business leaders in politics has made government policies more favorable to the business and thus increases the economic growth.

 

However, the new political weight of private business people has also triggered worries that the combination of economic resources and political power can lead to cases of corruption.  Collusion between shady businessmen and corrupt government officials is all too frequent in many countries.  Some private businessmen may use politics as an umbrella to elude risks.  But if businessmen and government officials become allies, it could be very dangerous for both parties.  Also, quite a few private business people involved in politics are "amphibious". In other words they simultaneously run businesses and hold political posts. 

 

To sum up, as long as the private sector continues to boom, business leaders will play a greater role in politics and their political status will rise. They will have more opportunities to influence the course of a nation and made more contribution to nation’s development.  In order to dispel public worries and ward off any political and social risks, however, clear guidelines concerning political participation by private business leaders should be set up by government.  Institutional guarantees and effective supervision are necessary to have a good result of the combination between business sector and government.

29. “Too many employees think only about getting results. The key to success, however, is to focus on the specific task at hand and not to worry about results.”

“太多的人只想到得到结果。成功的关键是注意手边的特定事情而不担心结果。”

Too many employees think only about getting results – success or failure.  This, however, could be the obstacle for the success that employees always seek for.  It is import to focus on the specific task at hand and not to worry about results.  The key to success, in my view, is action, in another words, do the specific task at hand.  The following is my analysis for my points.

 

To begin with, we need to realize that we live in a very competitive world now.  By nature there must always be a winner and a loser.  People’s concerns about results are actually the fears of failure.  No one but ourselves get to decide whether we are a success or a failure.  The important question is not whether the results are a success but rather if we are actually producing a result.  Most people never even attempt something because they are afraid that the results they will produce will not be perfect or a waste.  The fear just prevents them from taking action.  However, without action there are no rewards. 

 

Furthermore, success is basically relies on failure.  The only way to know the results, success or failure, is to focus on the task at hand, get rid of the worries about the results, and then take actions.  People benefit even there is no perfect results because failure is a friend and a teacher.  Failure is the only way we can adjust our actions for it provides us the necessary feedback that allow us to be more efficient, more effective and more fulfilled.  We can only learn more from failure, not less.  If people always worry about the results and wait until everything is “just right” before they take actions to produce a flawless result then they will find this will never happen.  People should stop worry about the result and get to know it by the fact that they have taken action.  Only actions produce results.  There are only the results and consequences to action or inaction.  Ordinary staff can not get promoted without great achievements.  The contemplation of the idea or dream of promotion will never make it real.  The only way is to focus on the task at hand and take action, then produce results. 

 

Admittedly, we live in a culture that looks down on so called failure.  The management of the company should be aware of that complaints about the undesirable results only make employees frustrated and get more worried about the results for the next task, which in turn, will destroy their confidence and make them hesitate.  This is not the way to the long-term development of the company.

 

To sum up, worry about results is not the key to success.  Employees should know that only by completing the specific task at hand can they have the ability to make something good or bad, right or wrong, successful or a failure.  The key to success is keeping focus on the work and taking actions.
