- 每工作 30-45 分钟,至少休息 5 分钟。如果需要协助,网上有免费定时器程序可供下载,能够帮助提醒你
按时休息一下。
- 在休息时伸展你的双臂/双手/颈部/背部。这个瑜伽网站能够给你一些锻炼的示范。后面是其他一些网站。
- 时常注意矫正身体姿态。不要躺坐在沙发上使用笔记本电脑。
- 在最初和每次转换座位时,都要对工作地点进行评估。
调整座椅、显示器、键盘、鼠标和笔记本电脑。定期交换键盘和鼠标的方位。
- 将视线从计算机屏幕上移向远处。别忘了眨眼!
- 减少不必要的计算机使用。这听起来有点古怪 - 不过你也得让网上冲浪、电子游戏、电子邮件和发讯息歇一会。
- 如果开始觉得疼痛或疼痛持续,一定要向医生求助,他们可能建议你使用腕带、冰袋、布洛芬、可的松
注射液、物理疗法等,最重要的是休息,让情况好转。看病千万不要拖拖拉拉。早治早好。

Back to YTHT

子静·珞珈 发表于 2007-05-05 10:42:37

昨天从紫霞穿梭到昔日的ytht,登录后,收到N封系统邮件, 都是以前被删除的站内信件.
看到几年前自己写的话,突然有恍如昨日的感觉,只是自己, 除了品尝一下回味的新鲜感,还能干嘛呢.
即使看到往日幼稚的话 也只能笑笑而已罢了. 过去,已经永远定格在那里.

四处逛逛,看到一些版面已经恢复了
有的是只读状态 最后一贴的时间停留在 9/13/2004 ,
有的重新开张,老虫子们一个个跳出来,用简短的言语表达着内心的激荡.
你一句我一句的问候,颇有故友在故地重逢的味道.
谁也不知道下一步是什么,也没法知道明天会怎样,但这或许并不重要,
心中挥之不去的情愫,找到了释放的地方,眼下的喜悦,成了最好的慰藉.

三年真的好快。
可是每个人的生活轨迹真的因为一个BBS的沉浮改变了什么?
至少现在,看不到什么影响。该干嘛干嘛.
时间不会因为自己的喜怒哀乐而停下脚步. 人生,匆匆而来 匆匆离去.

眼前的烦心事和对未来的期望,让人无暇顾及过去.
只是当你突然陷入回忆中时,也许会想一想,
你之所以会站到今天的这个位置,不正是因为自己曾走过的路么.

WRITING A WINNING STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

WRITING A WINNING STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

    * Before you start, check out the tips below on "Getting Started"

     I. Determine your purpose in writing the statement

     Usually the purpose is to persuade the admissions committee that you are an applicant they should choose.You may  want to show that you have the ability and motivation to succeed in your field, or you may want to show the committee that, on the basis of your experience, you are the kind of candidate who will do well in the field.Whatever the purpose, it must be explicit to give coherence to the whole statement.

     1. Pay attention to the purpose throughout the statement so that extraneous material is left out.
     2. Pay attention to the audience (committee) throughout the statement. Remember, your audience is made up of faculty members who are experts in their field. They want to know that you can think as much as what you think.
            
    II. Determine the content of your statement

    Be sure to answer any direct questions fully. Analyze the questions or guidance statements for the essay completely and  answer all parts.
    For example: "What are the strengths and weaknesses in setting and achieving goals and working through people?" In this question there are actually six parts to be answered 1) strengths in setting goals, 2) strengths
in achieving goals, 3) strengths in working through people, 4) weaknesses in setting goals, 5) weaknesses in achieving goals and 6) weaknesses in working through people. Pay attention to small words. Notice:
   This example question says through people not with people, if it says with people, answer that way.
 
   Usually graduate and professional schools are interested in the following:

   1. Your purpose in graduate study. This means you must have thought this through before you try to answer the question.

   2. The area of study in which you wish to specialize. This requires that you know the field well enough to make such  decision.

   3. Your future use of your graduate study. This will include your career goals and plans for your future.

   4. Your special preparation and fitness for study in the field. This is the opportunity to relate your academic background with your extracurricular experience to show how they unite to make you a special candidate.

   5. Any problems or inconsistencies in your records or scores such as a bad semester. Be sure to explain in a positive manner and justify the explanation. Since this is a rebuttal argument, it should be followed by a positive statement of your abilities.

   6. Any special conditions that are not revealed elsewhere in the application such as a large (35 hour a week)work load  outside of school. This too should be followed with a positive statement about yourself and your future.

   7. You may be asked, "Why do you wish to attend this school?" This requires that you have done your research about the school and know what its special appeal is to you.

   8. Above all this, the statement is to contain information about you as a person. They know nothing about you that you don’t tell them. You are the subject of the statement.
 
   III. Determine your approach and the style of thestatement                  
   There is no such thing as "the perfect way to write a statement." There is only the one that is best for you and fits your circumstances.

   1. There are some things the statement should not be:

   a. Avoid the "what I did with my life" approach. This was fine for grade school essays on "what I did last summer." It is not good for a personal statement.
   b. Equally elementary is the approach "I’ve always wanted to be a __________." This is only appropriate if it also reflects  your current career goals.
   c. Also avoid a statement that indicates your interest in psychology is because of your own personal psychotherapy or a family member’s psychological disturbance. While this may have motivated many of us to go on to graduate
study in psychology, this is not what your audience is necessarily looking for in your statement.

   These are some things the statement should do:

   1. It should be objective yet self-revelatory. Write directly and in a straightforward manner that tells about your experience and what it means to you. Do not use "academese" or jargon.
   2. It should form conclusions that explain the value and meaning of your experiences such as: (1) what you learned about yourself; (2) about your field; (3) about your future goals; and (4) about your career concerns.
   3. It should be specific. Document your conclusions with specific instances or draw your conclusions as the result of individual experience. See the list of general Words to Avoid Using without Explanation listed below.
It should be an example of careful persuasive writing.

CONSIDERTIONS ABOUT FORM:
   Keep to the Page Limit Number!!! Reviewers have to read hundreds of these applications,don’t overburden them with extra pages.
   Do not leave in typographical errors. You don’t want to be taken less seriously due to a typo, rite? (laugh) 

WORDS TO AVOID USING WITHOUT EXPLANATION

Significant, Invaluable, appealing to me,
interesting, exciting, excited, appealing aspect
challenging, enjoyable, enjoy, I like it,
satisfying, satisfaction, I can contribute, it’s important
rewarding, valuable, fascinating,
gratifying, helpful, appreciate,
meaningful, useful,  helping people,
meant a lot to me, feel good, I like to help,
stimulating, remarkable, people, incredible
 
GETTING STARTED

EXERCISES:

A. Recalling and analyzing experience - write short paragraphs on the following:

1. Pick a memorable accomplishment in your life. What did you do? How did you accomplish it?
2. What sort of important activities have you engaged in? With whom? what role did you play?
3. What work experiences have you had? What was your job? responsibility? How did you carry it out?
Now look over your paragraphs. What skills and qualities do you see that you possess? For example,consider working with others. Were you a leader? important "team" player? Looking at what you have found, you can now look for skills and qualities that will help you in graduate school. What factors stand out?

NOTE: You will undoubtedly have more material than you can use. This is good, but you need to make strategic choices.

B. Your career goals - write two short paragraphs:
1. What career have you chosen? What factors formed this decision?
2. What evidence shows that this is a correct choice? That is, how can you show that this choice is realistic?
(Personal experience in the field is a good place to begin.)
