“Don’t be the hardest worker in your job or in your job hunt” may somehow sound ridiculous to most, but it is definitely an innovative idea brought up by Penelope Trunk, Founder and CEO of Brazen Careerist. “Don’t be the hardest worker in your job or in your job hunt” is actually a blog post of hers supported by studies.

In the blog post, she insisted people should not work the most hours in the job, yet never look lazy in our job. Prevent from worsening quality of work, it is better not to work continuously for too long. Simply, the reason is we lose our passion and concentration if we work nonstop.

Totally, I agree with such an idea, as I always believe, working smart is definitely more efficient than working hard. By working smart, it means we have to know what we are working on, and know what is the most efficient way to work on a particular task. Although tremendous the workload may be, if we work smart and have good time management skills, we can conquer the work for sure (sometimes it might be a matter of time though). For example, instead of working non-stop, breaks are essential to success. By taking a ten to fifteen minutes break, we can freshen up our minds, and new ideas may pop up in our heads. Taking a break is not procrastinating, but a reasonable break for us as well as our minds.

Working non-stop is only a fatigue to our minds. To work efficiently, we don’t always have to be the hardest person, but we always need a correct attitude towards work, work smartly, and work a dedicated heart towards what we are doing.

Apple Inc, commonly known as Apple, is a technology company that designs, produces and sells electronic appliances. Apple is known as being innovative, and its new project, which is in rumors, is definitely going to thrill the world.

The Apple Car, also known as the Project Titan, is expected to come in 2019. The Apple Car will very likely be a self-driving electric car. In other words the Apple Car will be a robot car!

Apple has been keeping Project Titan as a secret project for years, but the existence of the Project Titan is documented for the first time as Apple senior vice-president Jeff Williams has called the car “the ultimate mobile device” in May.

Apple is always innovative. For example, the iPhone has it own mobile operating system know as iOS, while most of the other smartphones in the market are using the operating system of Android. Moreover, when most of the other computers are using the operating system of Microsoft, Apple has its own operating system known as OS X for all of their macs.

Apple never fails to surprise. And this time, the Apple Car is going to be a huge surprise for the massive car industry if the Apple Car really comes out in 2019. A self-driving car made by a technology company that originally mainly sells mobile phones and computer, who could have imagined that? Moving from the electronic appliance industry to the automotive industry is a giant leap of the company. From engaging a new industry, Apple clearly can diversify its risk, and open up new business opportunities. As arguably the leader in the electronic appliance industry, it is obviously a clever move that will benefit the company in long term.

The Apple Car might be too early to mention at the present, as it will most likely not come into production until 2019 at the earliest. But still, the Apple Car, also know as the Project Titan, is something we can dream of for now and look forward to in the future.

Nike has been the favorite brand of lots of people all over the world, but the brand might undergo a revolutionary change in 2016, as the chairman, Phil Knight will be stepping down from the company.

Phil Knight had told the world that he will only be stepping down as chairman. Instead of walking away entirely, Phil Knight will remain a part of Nike in some capacity.

To most, Nike is merely a company, but to Knight, Nike is a lifelong passion. And to me, Nike is one of my favorite brands. Mark Parker, the current CEO of Nike will take over as chairman of the company from 2016. From my point of view, Nike has an uncertain future. The internal structure of the company may undergo a massive transformation, which is common whenever a new boss is taking over the company.

Nike has always been my favorite sports brand. As a huge fan of Nike who have a variety of different collections of their sneakers, Phil Knight is always appreciated as a legend. Without Phil Knight, Nike would never be such a dominating sports brand that has multiple series of sneakers. The Air Jordan, the Air Max, the Roshe Run, and countless different sneakers from Nike would not have been the fantasy of most teenagers.

   

Phil Knight has been chairman for Nike for half a century, started from a small project of $500 in 1964 to one of the, if not the, biggest sports brand in the world which sponsors world class athletes, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Lebron James and Rory Mcilroy. The company is becoming synonymous with sports around the world. Personally, I hope Mark Parker will continue to do successful work in the Nike brand.

A company will definitely go through different stages throughout the business cycle, and as the top management of Nike, Phil Knight has led the company to success. What will Nike become without Phil Knight is uncertain as of yet, but as a fan of Nike, I hope Nike will further expand its business, and come up with new sneakers for the sneakerheads all over the world.
