[转帖]英文励志小品：Lift the fog

Negative thoughts fog your thinking and your perception. With each doubt, with each frustration, with each fear the fog grows heavier.

After a while, it becomes difficult to see how to move forward. And that just makes the fog even thicker.

The fog of negative thinking prevents you from seeing and acting on your best possibilities. Instead of focusing on moving forward, you're able only to give your attention to the petty distractions of the moment.

There is something, though, that will burn off that fog. It is determined, passionate, meaningful intention.

Give your energy to positive purpose, and the fog will begin to lift. Then step confidently through what's left of the fog, and you'll quickly leave it behind.

At times it may seem that there's no escaping the fog of your negative thoughts, yet at any time you can choose to be free. Fill your spirit with true purpose, and your best possibilities will come clearly into view.

挑战者的成功秘诀 领先者的失败教训

（点击上图浏览该书核心思想视频简介）

    以弱胜强，是多数中国企业都面临的一个战略困境。然而，在敌强我弱之下，挑战者如何实现对领先者的赶超？行业的后进入者又如何才能找到生存的立足点，进而不断发展？ 
    放眼产业市场的演变，强弱之间的转换时时都在上演。但是，以弱胜强，究竟是无心插柳，还是源于精心谋划？究竟是偶然的一时运气，还是成竹在胸的必然？ 
    作者基于对战略、创新和营销理论的跨领域研究，在对全球近百个以弱胜强的商战案例系统剖析的基础上，提出：创新是以弱胜强、后来居上的唯一途径，但是要想成为成功的创新者而不是铺路石，挑战者的战略思想必须有别于市场领先者——这就是不对称创新。不对称创新立足于强大对手优势中所固有的弱点，既注重创造与其没有竞争互动、具有“温水煮青蛙效应”的不对称局势，同时也关注为客户创造价值。这就是挑战者以弱胜强的成功之道。
    作者不但总结了以弱胜强的内在规律，还提供了一整套系统的不对称创新实施指南。本书提出的颠覆传统战略理论的不对称创新战略思想，不仅对挑战者有具体的指导作用，对领先企业也有很强的借鉴意义，是所有的企业家、经理人、管理顾问和创业者的一本必读之书。（《不对称创新》：吴振海 著；出版日期：2007年7月）
