是对失败的恐惧阻碍了你吗

Is Fear of Failure Holding You Back?Fear of failure can stop you reaching your potential, says Robert Kelsey.STORY HIGHLIGHTSFear of failure can impact our careers, and our whole lives, argues author Robert KelseyFear can make people set their ambitions low, or extraordinarily high, to mask their insecuritiesKelsey outlines seven steps to overcoming our fearsEditor's note: Robert Kelsey is the bestselling author of "What's Stopping You? Why Smart People Don't Always Reach Their Potential and How You Can."(CNN) -- Why was it that, while others in your class were happy to study law or go into finance, you wanted to be a popstar? Or maybe you were the rebel: an unruly and disruptive influence the teachers disliked. That said, you could have been the procrastinator -- somehow never getting started -- or the dreamy idler living in an invented parallel universe.Their commonality? All are signs you are a High-FF: someone with a high fear of failure as I call them in "What's Stopping You?" my book on understanding, accepting and navigating the insecurities that drive career failure.Robert KelseyFear of failure was first uncovered in the 1960s by psychologists such as John Atkinson. Working at Stanford University, Atkinson conducted a series of experiments on children -- setting them reward-based tasks in order to test their motivation.He noticed they divided into two camps: those focused on winning the reward, who approached the task with what he called a "need for achievement, " and those focused on their seemingly inevitable failure, who had what Atkinson termed a "fear of failure" based on their desire to avoid the public humiliation of failure.See also: Is happiness the secret of success?In one experiment the children played a game of hoop-the-peg, with greater rewards offered for greater distances. The "need for achievement" kids stood a challenging but realistic distance from the peg -- adding concentration if they failed. Those with fear of failure, meanwhile, stood either right on top of the peg or so far back that failure was almost certain.Of course, those choosing the impossible distance effectively disguised their fear of failure, not least because everyone failed at such a distance. Yet that was the better response. Many of the fear of failure kids became disruptive -- intonating that they didn't care for the game with some even trying to halt the entire process. Norman Feather (an Australian psychologist) undertook similar experiments and came to similar conclusions, although also found he could manipulate the response by telling the children the task was "very difficult." This encouraged the High-FF kids to continue -- the humiliation of failure having been lowered. And 1970s experiments by Carol Dweck and Ellen Leggett concluded that children were either "mastery oriented, " meaning they were focused on acquiring new skills (and were unconcerned by temporary setbacks), or "ego oriented, " which meant their main concern was to not lose face.The impact of fear of failureHigh-FFs keep their ambitions either low or -- as a mask for their insecurities -- extraordinarily high.Robert KelseyFrom here, it's easy to see how such a divide can impact our career progression: indeed, our entire lives. High-FFs keep their ambitions either low or -- as a mask for their insecurities -- extraordinarily high (knowing that failing to become a TV star will be kindly judged). It's the challenging but achievable career choices (such as joining the professions) that are avoided by High-FFs.See also: ambition could make you rich, but not happySo is there a way out? Not from our fears. Mainstream psychologists deride those -- such as hypnotists and acupuncturists -- that claim they can instantly cure our fears and phobias, stating they simply inject alien personality traits into us. These will eventually be revealed as such, producing an inevitable reckoning. Yet we can learn to accept our fears as part of us, and then navigate their destructive consequences.To do this, however, we need a plan. So here are my seven steps to overcoming (but not curing) fear of failure.1. Discover your true values . If those popstar goals are a mask you'll need to go back to square one and calculate what really motivates you. This requires you to establish the values and principles that underline your existence. It's these that should drive your goal setting, not your insecurities.2. Establish your goals . With your values written down, visualise yourself 10-years' hence. Every detail should be imagined: house, car, partner, office, dog (or cat). Importantly, also focus on the details of your career. What will you do day-to-day, where and with whom? Then ensure it dovetails with your values -- otherwise it will almost certainly fail.3. Work out the milestones . The 10-year horizon is long-enough to make anything possible: includingprofessional exams. Yet you have to ensure the path you take is the right one. So visualize yourself in five years' time. What has to be in place to ensure the 10-year goals are achievable? Then do the same for two years -- thinking about the needs for the five-year horizon. Then one year. Then six months. Then three months, one month and one week. And what can you do tomorrow to make sure the one-week goal is conquered?Goals fail without strong execution, while "busyness" can lead us in the wrong direction.Robert Kelsey4. Develop a strategy and tactics. Of course, goals fail without strong execution, while "busyness" can lead us in the wrong direction. We need a strategy -- a plan that ensures our actions lead us towards our objectives. So undertake a SWOT analysis: looking at your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats. This should help a strategy emerge because we can execute tactics on our strengths while developing skills to overcome our weaknesses. Meanwhile, we can pursue the opportunities (if goal-focused) and plan to navigate the threats.5. Execute efficiently. According to Stephen Covey, all activities fall into four boxes: urgent and important, urgent and unimportant, not urgent and important, and not urgent and unimportant. We spend our time on urgent-box activities neglecting the not-urgent-and-important box that is vital for achieving our long-term goals. Yet if we start here, our activities become driven by our goals allowing us to control urgent-and-unimportant activities (otherwise called interruptions) and potentially reframing our not-urgent-and-unimportant activities as refreshing moments where we can enjoy our progress.6. Deal with people . For High-FFs, other people are a problem. Too often, we become reactive and defensive, or potentially manipulated by people leveraging off our insecurities. Yet dealing with difficult people is possible once we have "developed our compassion" -- i.e. we've stopped seeing the world from our own perspective and, instead, seen it from theirs. If done genuinely, we can then forge win-win strategies that turn potential enemies and barriers to our progress into allies that can help us achieve our goals.7. Find your unique gift . Still struggling? Just maybe you haven't found your unique gift. Everyone has a special talent or insight that they should first discover and then offer to others. Mine was a curiosity regarding my condition (as a High-FF) and a background in writing. I combined the two to write "What's Stopping You?" What's yours?是对失败的恐惧阻碍了你吗作家罗伯特.凯尔西认为，对失败的恐惧会影响你的事业以及你全部的生活。

学生和家长抱怨学校负担过重英语作文

学生和家长抱怨学校负担过重英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1An Overwhelmed Student's Plea: When Will The Excessive Workload End?As a high school student navigating the tumultuous waters of academic life, I find myself increasingly overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the workload thrust upon us. It's a burden that weighs heavily on our young shoulders, casting a shadow over our mental health and overall well-being. The relentless torrent of assignments, projects, and exams feels like anever-ending cycle of stress and exhaustion, leaving little room for personal growth or simple enjoyment of life.From the moment we step foot on campus until the late hours of the night, our days are consumed by a constant barrage of academic demands. The pressure to excel is palpable, perpetuated by the unrealistic expectations set by our educational system. We are expected to juggle a myriad of subjects, each with its own unique challenges and complexities,while simultaneously maintaining a semblance of a social life and extracurricular activities.The workload is truly staggering, often bordering on the unreasonable. Each night, we find ourselves buried under a mountain of homework assignments, research papers, and projects, all with looming deadlines that seem to mock our efforts at time management. The sheer volume of material we are expected to absorb and regurgitate is overwhelming, leaving us feeling like mere vessels for information rather than young minds yearning for true understanding and intellectual growth.The stress is not limited to the academic realm; it permeates every aspect of our lives. The constant worry of falling behind or failing to meet the lofty standards set by our teachers and parents is a weight that never truly lifts. We find ourselves sacrificing precious hours of sleep, neglecting our physical and mental well-being, all in the pursuit of academic excellence.And yet, despite our tireless efforts, the goalposts seem to constantly shift, leaving us feeling perpetually inadequate. The pressure to secure top grades, excel in extracurricular activities, and build an impressive resume for college applications is a burden that many of us bear alone, with little support orunderstanding from those who have long since forgotten the trials of youth.It is a cruel irony that the very system designed to nurture and educate us has become a source of such immense stress and anxiety. The pursuit of knowledge, once a joyous and enlightening endeavor, has been reduced to a relentless race against the clock, where the finish line remains ever-elusive.I cannot help but wonder: when did learning become synonymous with suffering? When did the acquisition of knowledge become a burden so heavy that it threatens to crush the very souls of those it is meant to enlighten? Surely, there must be a better way, a path that acknowledges our humanity and allows us to grow and flourish without sacrificing our mental and physical well-being on the altar of academic achievement.I implore you, the decision-makers and guardians of our educational system, to pause and reflect on the toll this excessive workload is taking on our generation. We are not machines, designed to operate at maximum capacity until we burn out and collapse. We are young, vibrant minds, yearning for knowledge and growth, but also in need of balance, support, and understanding.Reduce the workload, yes, but more importantly, reevaluate the underlying philosophy that drives this relentless pursuit of academic perfection. Encourage us to learn for the sake of learning, to explore our passions and cultivate our curiosities, rather than merely checking boxes and amassing accolades.Foster an environment where failure is not a death sentence, but an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Empower us to take risks, to challenge conventions, and to think critically, rather than regurgitating information like parrots trained for a singular purpose.Above all, remind us that our worth extends far beyond our academic achievements. We are more than just test scores and GPAs; we are complex beings with dreams, aspirations, and unique talents that may lie beyond the confines of the classroom.I urge you to heed our pleas, for we are not merely students, but the future stewards of this world. By alleviating the excessive burdens placed upon us, you invest in our well-being, our potential, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow. Let us learn, grow, and thrive without the constant fear of burnout or mental exhaustion.For too long, we have borne the weight of unrealistic expectations, sacrificing our youth and vitality in the pursuit of academic perfection. It is time to strike a balance, to create an educational system that nurtures our minds and souls in equal measure.We are not asking for the impossible, but rather for a chance to breathe, to explore, and to grow into the best versions of ourselves. Our dreams and aspirations extend far beyond the confines of a classroom, and it is your duty to ensure that the path to their realization is not littered with unnecessary obstacles and burdens.Heed our call, for the future rests upon your actions today. Invest in our well-being, and we shall repay you tenfold with the fruits of our labor – a generation of well-rounded, passionate, and intellectually curious individuals, ready to tackle the challenges of tomorrow with resilience and grace.The choice is yours, but the consequences of inaction will be borne by us all. Let us work together to create an educational system that nurtures our potential, rather than stifling it beneath the weight of excessive demands.Our pleas are not mere whines or lamentations; they are the cries of a generation yearning for balance, understanding, andthe opportunity to truly learn and grow. Will you heed our call, or will you allow us to be crushed beneath the weight of unreasonable expectations?The future is in your hands, and our well-being hangs in the balance.篇2The Overwhelming Burden: A Student's Cry for HelpSchool was supposed to be a place of learning, growth, and preparing us for the future. However, it has become an endless cycle of stress, anxiety, and an unbearable workload that threatens to crush our spirits. As students, we find ourselves drowning in a sea of assignments, projects, and exams, with little time left for anything else.The sheer volume of work we are expected to complete is staggering. It's not uncommon for us to spend countless hours each night buried in books, trying to keep up with thenever-ending deluge of homework. We sacrifice our sleep, our social lives, and our mental well-being, all in the name of academic success.It's a vicious cycle that seems to have no end. The more we struggle to keep up, the further behind we fall. And the pressureonly intensifies as we approach crucial exams and assessments that hold the keys to our future. We find ourselves trapped in a constant state of panic, fearing the consequences of failure.But the burden goes beyond just the academic workload. We're also expected to participate in extracurricular activities, join clubs, and volunteer our time – all while maintaining a perfect GPA. It's as if we're expected to be superhuman, capable of juggling a million tasks without ever dropping a single ball.The strain is taking a toll on our mental health. Anxiety and depression are rampant among students, as we struggle to cope with the relentless demands placed upon us. We feel like we're constantly being pushed to our limits, with no regard for our well-being or our ability to handle the pressure.And yet, when we try to voice our concerns, we're often met with dismissal or accusations of laziness. Our pleas for help are met with platitudes about "building character" or "preparing us for the real world." But the truth is, we're already living in a world that feels all too real, a world where our every waking moment is consumed by the pursuit of academic excellence.It's not just us, the students, who are suffering. Our parents, too, are caught up in this whirlwind of stress and anxiety. They watch helplessly as their children sacrifice their childhoods in thename of academic success. They see the toll it's taking on our mental health, and they worry about the long-term consequences of such immense pressure.But what can they do? They're trapped in the same system that demands so much from us. They feel powerless to advocate for change, fearing that any resistance might jeopardize our chances of getting into the best schools or securing the most coveted jobs.And so, we continue to trudge along, carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders, hoping against hope that someday, someone will recognize the unsustainable nature of this system and take action to alleviate the burden.We're not asking for a free ride or an easy path to success. We understand the value of hard work and dedication. But there has to be a balance, a recognition that we are human beings with limits and needs that extend beyond academics.We need time to explore our passions, to discover who we are outside of the classroom. We need opportunities to socialize, to connect with our peers, and to build the interpersonal skills that will serve us well in the real world.We need support systems in place to help us cope with the stress and anxiety that come with the pressure we face. We need counselors, therapists, and mentors who can guide us through these challenging times and help us develop healthy coping mechanisms.And above all, we need a system that values our well-being as much as it values our academic achievements. A system that recognizes that pushing us to the brink of exhaustion and mental breakdown is not the path to success, but rather a recipe for disaster.We're not asking for the impossible. We're simply asking for a more balanced approach, one that recognizes our humanity and our need for a well-rounded education that nurtures our minds, bodies, and spirits.It's time for a change, a revolution in the way we approach education. A revolution that puts the needs of students first, that acknowledges the immense burden we carry, and that works to create a more sustainable and nurturing environment for learning and growth.We're not just numbers or statistics. We're human beings with dreams, aspirations, and a desire to make a positive impact on the world. But we can't do that if we're crushed beneath theweight of unrealistic expectations and an unforgiving system that demands more than we can possibly give.So, we implore you, the educators, the policymakers, and the decision-makers, to listen to our voices. Hear our cries for help, and take action to create a more balanced and humane approach to education. Together, we can build a system that supports and nurtures us, rather than one that threatens to break us.The time for change is now. The future of our generation, and generations to come, depends on it.篇3Too Much on My Plate: The Overwhelming Burden on Students TodayAs a high school student, I often find myself drowning in a sea of assignments, tests, extracurricular activities, and societal pressures. The academic demands placed upon us by our schools and families have become unbearable, leaving little room for personal growth, leisure, or even basic self-care. It's a harsh reality that many of us face, and it's time we address the elephant in the room – the excessive burden on students today.The Unrelenting WorkloadLet's start with the most obvious culprit – the sheer volume of homework and assignments we receive on a daily basis. It's not uncommon for me to spend hours each night buried in textbooks, furiously scribbling away at problem sets or typing away at essay after essay. And let's not forget about the constant barrage of tests and quizzes we're expected to prepare for, often with little breathing room in between.It's a vicious cycle – the more work we're assigned, the longer it takes to complete, leaving us with even less time to rest and recharge. And when we inevitably fall behind, the stress and anxiety only compound, making it even harder to catch up. It's a never-ending battle that leaves many of us feeling overwhelmed and burnt out before we've even finished high school.The Pressure to ExcelBut the burden doesn't end with academics alone. There's an immense pressure on us to excel in every facet of our lives – from sports and clubs to community service and part-time jobs. We're expected to be well-rounded Renaissance individuals, juggling a multitude of commitments while maintaining stellar grades and a pristine transcript.The message is clear: if we want to get into a good college and secure a promising future, we need to be at the top of ourgame. But at what cost? Many of us sacrifice our mental and physical health in pursuit of these lofty expectations, stretching ourselves thin and losing sight of what truly matters.The Constant ComparisonsAnd let's not forget about the ever-present social comparisons that fuel our insecurities and self-doubt. In the age of social media, we're constantly bombarded with highlight reels of our peers' accomplishments, making our own achievements feel inadequate in comparison.It's a toxic cycle of envy and self-criticism, one that only adds to the immense pressure we already face. We've become conditioned to measure our worth by our achievements, rather than by our character or personal growth.The Voices of ConcernIt's no wonder that students and parents alike are voicing their concerns about the excessive burden placed on today's youth. We're not just numbers or statistics – we're human beings with real limits and needs.Many parents worry about the toll this intense pressure is taking on their children's mental health and overall well-being.They see their once-vibrant and carefree kids transformed into stressed-out, sleep-deprived shells of their former selves.And we, the students, feel the weight of these expectations every single day. We're tired of being treated like machines, expected to churn out perfect grades and a laundry list of accomplishments while sacrificing our happiness and personal growth in the process.A Call for ChangeIt's time for a paradigm shift in how we approach education and define success for our youth. We need to prioritizewell-being over academic performance, fostering environments that nurture creativity, curiosity, and personal growth.Perhaps it's time to reevaluate the sheer volume of homework and testing, and instead focus on quality over quantity. We could explore more project-based learning opportunities that allow for deeper engagement and application of knowledge, rather than rote memorization and regurgitation.Additionally, we should encourage a more balanced approach to extracurricular activities, emphasizing genuine passion and personal fulfillment over resume-building and college admissions clout.And most importantly, we need to shift the narrative surrounding success. It's not just about grades and accolades –true success encompasses personal growth, emotional intelligence, and a genuine passion for learning andself-discovery.The Path ForwardAdmittedly, this is no easy task. Overhauling an entrenched educational system and societal expectations will require a concerted effort from educators, parents, and policymakers alike. But it's a challenge we must embrace, for the sake of our youth and the future generations to come.We must listen to the voices of students and parents who are struggling under the weight of these excessive burdens. We must empathize with their experiences and work together to create a more sustainable, nurturing environment for personal growth and academic excellence.For too long, we've prioritized achievement over well-being, sacrificing the mental health and happiness of our youth in pursuit of arbitrary metrics and societal expectations. It's time to break free from this cycle and embrace a more holistic, balanced approach to education and personal development.Only then can we truly cultivate a generation ofwell-rounded, emotionally resilient individuals who are equipped to tackle the challenges of the modern world with grace, compassion, and a genuine love for learning.。

人们总是被生活愚弄的英文英语作文

全文分为作者个人简介和正文两个部分：作者个人简介：Hello everyone, I am an author dedicated to creating and sharing high-quality document templates. In this era of information overload, accurate and efficient communication has become especially important. I firmly believe that good communication can build bridges between people, playing an indispensable role in academia, career, and daily life. Therefore, I decided to invest my knowledge and skills into creating valuable documents to help people find inspiration and direction when needed.正文：人们总是被生活愚弄的英文英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1People Are Always Fooled by LifeWe've all heard the clichés about life – "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger," "Every cloud has a silver lining," and the list goes on. As a student, I've come to realize that these sayings,while meant to be inspirational, often amount to nothing more than empty platitudes. The harsh reality is that life has a cruel way of fooling us, over and over again. Just when we think we've got everything figured out, it throws us a curveball that leaves us questioning everything we thought we knew.Take academic life, for instance. From a young age, we're taught that if we study hard, get good grades, and follow the rules, we'll be rewarded with a bright future. We're led to believe that the path to success is a straight line – go to school, get a degree, land a good job, and live happily ever after. But the truth is far more complicated.I've seen countless friends and classmates who excelled academically, only to find themselves struggling to secure meaningful employment after graduation. Some ended up in dead-end jobs, while others had to settle for positions entirely unrelated to their field of study. The promise of a bright future that was dangled in front of them turned out to be nothing more than a mirage.Even for those fortunate enough to find decent jobs, the challenges don't end there. The corporate world is a ruthless place, where layoffs, restructuring, and downsizing are all too common. Employees who once felt secure in their positions areleft scrambling, trying to piece together a new plan for their lives. It's a cruel reminder that no matter how hard we work or how loyal we are, our futures are never truly guaranteed.And let's not forget about the personal challenges that life throws our way. Relationships, friendships, and family dynamics can all be sources of immense joy, but they can also be the cause of profound heartbreak and disillusionment. We enter into these bonds with the best of intentions, only to be betrayed, hurt, or let down by the people we trusted the most.I've seen friendships that seemed unbreakable crumble under the weight of misunderstandings, jealousy, or shifting priorities. I've witnessed relationships that were once filled with love and passion descend into bitter resentment and acrimony. And I've experienced the pain of family rifts that leave scars that may never fully heal.In the face of these challenges, it's easy to feel fooled by life – to feel like we've been sold a false bill of goods. We're told that if we work hard, play by the rules, and treat others with kindness and respect, we'll be rewarded with happiness and fulfillment. But the reality is far more complex, and often far crueler.So, how do we cope with this harsh realization? How do we navigate a world that seems determined to fool us at every turn?The answer, I've come to believe, lies in embracing a certain degree of cynicism – not the kind of bitterness that poisons the soul, but a healthy skepticism that allows us to approach life with clear eyes and realistic expectations.We must learn to take nothing for granted, to question the narratives we're fed, and to be prepared for the inevitable curveballs that life will throw our way. We must cultivate resilience, adaptability, and the courage to forge our own paths, even when they diverge from the well-trodden roads that society has laid out for us.At the same time, we mustn't lose sight of the beauty and wonder that life has to offer. For every disappointment, there are moments of joy, love, and transcendence that remind us why it's all worth fighting for. The key is to strike a balance – to approach life with a mix of cautious optimism and clear-eyed realism.We must learn to savor the good times while they last, but also to brace ourselves for the inevitable setbacks and challenges that lie ahead. We must cultivate a sense of resilience andself-reliance, while also nurturing the connections and support systems that can help us weather the storms.Above all, we must never lose sight of our own agency – our ability to shape our own destinies, even in the face of life'scruelest tricks. While we may be fooled time and again, we are not powerless. We have the capacity to learn from our mistakes, to adapt to changing circumstances, and to forge ahead in pursuit of our dreams, no matter how daunting the obstacles may seem.In the end, perhaps the greatest lesson we can learn from life's deceptions is the importance of humility and gratitude. We must embrace the fact that we are not in control, that life will always surprise us, and that the only certainty is uncertainty itself. But we must also celebrate the small victories, the fleeting moments of joy, and the connections that make it all worthwhile.So, as we navigate the treacherous waters of life, let us approach each challenge with a mixture of cautious optimism and clear-eyed realism. Let us savor the good times while they last, but also brace ourselves for the inevitable setbacks and disappointments that lie ahead. And above all, let us never lose sight of our own agency, our capacity for growth and adaptation, and our ability to find meaning and purpose in even the darkest of times.For as long as we draw breath, we will be fooled by life – but we need not be defeated by it. With courage, resilience, and ahealthy dose of humility, we can emerge from life's deceptions stronger, wiser, and more fully alive than ever before.篇2People are Always Fooled by LifeLife is full of surprises, twists and turns that we never see coming. No matter how much we plan and prepare, life always seems to have other ideas, throwing curveballs our way that leave us feeling fooled and blindsided. As a student, I've learned this harsh reality time and time again.When I was a bright-eyed freshman, I thought I had it all figured out. I mapped out my entire college experience, from the classes I'd take each semester to the clubs I'd join and the internships I'd pursue. I was determined to follow that plan to a T, thinking it would lead me straight to success after graduation. Boy, was I fooled.My first wake-up call came when I struggled in a foundational course for my intended major. No matter how hard I studied, the concepts just wouldn't click. Suddenly, thatclear-cut path I had envisioned was riddled with potholes and roadblocks. I felt foolish for being so naive, for thinking life would obediently conform to my blueprints.As if that weren't enough, life kept dishing out more lessons in humility. A romantic relationship I was certain would last forever imploded after just a year. An internship I had my heart set on rejected my application. With each setback, I realized just how little control I truly had.Worst of all, the curve balls didn't just impact my personal life - they seeped into the grandest of my dreams and aspirations. I've wanted to be a doctor since I was a little kid, imagining how I'd cure diseases and save lives. Yet, as I trudged through arduous science courses and witnessed the fierce competition for medical school admission, doubts began to creep in. What if, after all this time and effort, I still fell short? The prospect of being fooled yet again by life's cruelties haunted me.It would be easy to let these disappointments and uncertainties crush my spirit, to resign myself to a life of lowered expectations where I'm no longer fooled because I stopped trying. However, I've realized that's no way to live. Life may constantly make fools of us, but giving up ensures we're fooled in the cruelest way possible - by failing to pursue our dreams.Instead, I've adopted a new mindset: I accept that I'll be fooled, but I refuse to be a fool. When life zigs, I zag, adjusting my approach but never surrendering my aspirations. Thatfoundational course I struggled with? I stuck with it, finding new study strategies until it finally clicked. The romantic relationship that failed? It stung, but it prompted me to re-evaluate what I truly want in a partner. As for the internship rejection, I used the feedback to improve my application, ultimately landing an even better opportunity.Most importantly, I've learned to roll with the punches and embrace uncertainty. Instead of getting derailed by life's twists and turns, I adapt, knowing that any detour can potentially lead to something better than I'd planned. Maybe I won't get into medical school on my first try, but the skills and experiences I gain along the way could open up an incredible Plan B career path. Life's unpredictability is becoming a secret weapon rather than something that fools me.Does this mean I have everything figured out now? Of course not - that's the beautiful contradiction of it all. No matter how much I acclimatize to life's deceptions, it will always find fresh ways to humble me. Just when I think I've got a handle on its games, life will spin me around, change the rules, and make篇3Life Plays Tricks on Us AllHave you ever felt like life was playing a cruel joke on you? Like no matter how hard you try, how much effort you put in, the universe has a way of throwing curveballs and making you stumble? I know I have. As a student, I've experienced my fair share of letdowns, disappointments, and foolery at the hands of life. It seems like just when I think I've got it all figured out, life comes along and reminds me how very little control I actually have.I remember back in high school, I was convinced I knew exactly what my future would look like. I had my whole life planned out – get good grades, get into a top university, study something impressive like medicine or law, and then go on to have a successful career and make my parents proud. I worked tirelessly towards that goal, sacrificing social life, hobbies, and precious sleep to maintain a 4.0 GPA. I thought if I checked all the right boxes, followed all the rules, life would unfold exactly according to my carefully calculated plan.Boy, was I naive. Despite doing everything "right," I got rejected from my dream school. It felt like a punch in the gut. How could this happen after all my hard work? I started to realize that sometimes, no matter how much you prepare and how flawless your performance is, life doesn't guarantee you'll getwhat you want. There's always an element of chance, of factors beyond your control. It was my first harsh lesson that life does not play fair.University brought a whole new series of life's tricks. I thought I had made it, secured my spot, and could now cruise towards that glistening future career. But life, always eager to shake things up, threw me into an existential crisis. Suddenly the path I had worked so hard for didn't seem so appealing anymore. All the things I once found motivating – money, status, parental approval – started to feel hollow and unfulfilling. My priorities and perspectives shifted in ways I couldn't have predicted. Life made a fool of me and my rigid life plan.Just when I felt like I had regained my footing and adjusted to a new trajectory, life fooled me again with hardships no one could foresee. First it was a global pandemic that turned the world upside down. Then it was personal losses and family struggles that shook me to my core. No amount of planning could have prepared me for those massive curveballs life hurled my way. I felt lost, adrift, all my goals and assumptions called into question by life's unpredictable forces.Through all these experiences of life fooling me at every turn, I've come to realize something profound: We can never trulycontrol our circumstances or predict what life has in store. No matter how meticulously we plan, no matter how tightly we try to manage every variable, there will always be an element of randomness, of the unexpected rearing its head. Life loves to make fools of those who think they have it all figured out.Does that mean we should just give up and succumb to life's whims? Absolutely not. It's still important to have dreams, to work hard, and to strive for the things we want in life. But we have to hold those goals with an open palm, ready to adapt and pivot when life inevitably pulls the rug out from under us. We can't get so attached to one rigid plan that we become paralyzed when it doesn't go as expected.The real foolishness lies in believing we can somehow outwit or outmaneuver life's tricks entirely. The sooner we accept that a certain degree of surprise, disappointment, and recalibration is inevitable, the better we can roll with life's punches. It's about cultivating resilience, flexibility, and the wisdom to change course when life alters the landscape.Perhaps the greatest foolery of all is letting life's jokes and detours demoralize us to the point of inaction. Every time life makes a mockery of our plans, it also presents an opportunity – a chance to reevaluate, regroup, and strike out in an entirely newdirection we may never have considered before. The unpredictable forces that seem to conspire against us can also open doors to opportunities more fulfilling than our original destinies.So laugh at life's pranks. Allow yourself to be a fool sometimes. It's the only way to gain the lessons and perspectives that lead to true growth and wisdom. Because at the end of the day, we're all fools stumbling through the great mystery and constantly being fooled by this crazy, magical, ridiculous thing called life. The sooner we embrace that with humor and humility, the better equipped we'll be to navigate its endless twists and turns.。

描述学生创业优势的英语作文150词

描述学生创业优势的英语作文150词全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Dream of Being a Kid EntrepreneurHi there! My name is Tommy and I'm 10 years old. I'm in 5th grade and I love learning about business and entrepreneurship. You might be thinking - why is a kid so interested in that boring adult stuff? Well, let me tell you why I think being a kid entrepreneur is actually the coolest thing ever!First off, us kids have incredible imaginations. We can come up with the wackiest, most creative ideas that adults would never dream of. Like what if there was a candy that also cleaned your room for you while you ate it? Or self-tying shoelaces? Or a videogame where you get to be a superhero stopping alien invasions AND also doing math problems to level up? Kids' minds work in such amazingly creative ways.And you know what? Having crazy, out-of-the-box ideas is actually super important for entrepreneurship. The most successful businesses solve problems in new and innovative ways that no one else thought of before. Just look at companies likeGoogle, Apple, and Disney - they all started with creative visions that seemed weird at first but ended up changing the world. As kids, our natural creativity gives us a huge advantage for coming up with the next big game-changing idea.Another awesome advantage kids have is that we're naturally curious and always wanting to learn new things. We constantly ask "why?" and aren't satisfied until we understand something fully. This inquisitive nature helps kid entrepreneurs really understand the problems they want to solve and the needs of their potential customers. It pushes us to keep studying the market, trying new approaches, and never giving up until we find a solution that works.My older brother Jake is 16 and runs a pretty successful YouTube channel reviewing videogames. He's always experimenting with new content ideas, editing styles, ways to engage his audience, and more. His curiosity and willingness to keep learning has helped grow his channel to over 500,000 subscribers! Us kids are like little sponges soaking up new knowledge at every opportunity.Finally, one of the biggest strengths kids bring to entrepreneurship is our energy and passion. We get wildly enthusiastic and obsessive over the things we love in a wayadults just can't match. Trust me, you've never seen energetic until you've seen a 7-year-old who just discovered dinosaurs or Pokémon!When we kids get excited about something, we devote every ounce of our limitless energy into it. We wake up at 5am to work on it, read book after book on the topic, talk about it nonstop to anyone who will listen - we become full-fledged Kid Experts. This boundless drive and enthusiasm is what fuels so many young entrepreneurs to work harder than anyone else and persist through setbacks until they make their vision a success.Just look at kid entrepreneurs like the student who started a million-dollar tutoring business from his basement. Or the 3rd grader who created a candy-making company that made it onto grocery store shelves. Or the sisters who becamemulti-millionaires with their digital greeting card business when they were still in elementary school! These kids had brilliant ideas, but it was their passionate energy and determination that allowed them to turn those ideas into entrepreneurial success stories.So those are just a few of the reasons why I think kids make amazing entrepreneurs. We have wild creativity, endless curiosity, and boundless passion and drive. Us kids see opportunities andpossibilities that world-weary adults might miss. Maybe our crazy ideas seem outlandish at first, but that's whatgame-changing innovation looks like in the beginning!My biggest dream is to one day start my own business, whether it's a new videogame, toy, or technology that makes kids' lives more fun. I've already started brainstorming ideas and doing market research (aka asking every kid I know about the latest coolest stuff). Who knows, maybe I'll be the next big kid CEO disrupting and revolutionizing an industry! A kid can dream, right? Thanks for reading, I'd better get back to my top secret plans for world entrepreneurial domination!篇2Being a Kid Entrepreneur is Awesome!Hi there! My name is Timmy and I'm 10 years old. I love being a kid entrepreneur because it's just the best thing ever! Let me tell you all about the awesome advantages of starting your own business when you're still a student.First off, us kids have way more free time than grownups to work on our companies. We don't have to go to boring 9-to-5 office jobs - we can build our businesses whenever we want afterdoing our homework and chores. That's one of the biggest benefits for sure.Another awesome perk is that it's so easy for us kids to find mentors to guide us. There are lots of programs out there designed specifically to help young entrepreneurs like me get advice from successful business owners and leaders. The mentors teach us super valuable skills for launching and growing our startups. How cool is that?Speaking of skills, being an entreprekid (that's what I call kid entrepreneurs - catchy, right?) really helps build up ones that will be mega useful in the future. Things like money management, public speaking, negotiating, creative thinking and working well under pressure. Grown-up employers love to see that kind of experience and drive in potential new hires.Financially, there are tons of competitions, grants and investors looking to fund really promising youth-led startups and business ideas. So even though we're just kids, we can actually raise some serious money to turn our entrepreneurial dreams into reality! Imagine being able to pay for your entire college education using profits from a company you started as a tween. Mind-blowing!But you know what the very best part about being a kid entrepreneur is? It's just SO MUCH FUN! Trying out new ideas, making your own decisions, being your own boss - there's nothing better. It never even feels like real "work." And the excitement of scoring your first customer or big accomplishment is unbeatable. I remember when I landed my first big sale for my tutoring business...I was bouncing off the walls!Whether it's walking dogs, coding websites, selling crafts or anything else, entreprekids get to explore their passions while developing super valuable business skills. We learn through hands-on experience how to create value for customers, manage financials, overcome obstacles and so much more. No classroom can teach that stuff quite like real-world entrepreneurship can.And the habits we build - like perseverance, independent thinking, and confidence - will set us up for success throughout our entire lives and careers. That's invaluable! The sooner kids get started on the entrepreneurial path, the bigger a head start they'll have.So if you're a student who's even slightly interested in entrepreneurship, my advice is to 100% go for it! Don't let your age hold you back. We kids can absolutely start and growawesome, innovative businesses. And the skills and experiences you'll gain will be life-changing.Being an entreprekid has given me so much: fulfillment, financial freedom, mentorship, a head start on my career goals and more. But most importantly, it's been an absolute blast. Every day, I get to be my own boss, learn new things, meet cool people and work on something I'm truly passionate about.What could be better than that?! Not much if you ask me. So why wait? Start brainstorming your big business idea today and get out there! The life of a young entrepreneur awaits!篇3Being a Kid Entrepreneur Is Awesome!Hi there! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. I love being a kid entrepreneur because it's so much fun and has awesome advantages that kids like me can really take advantage of. Let me tell you all about it!First off, being a kid with my own business is just really cool. I get to be my own boss instead of having to listen to teachers and parents all the time. Don't get me wrong, I still have to listen to them for school and home stuff. But with my business, I call theshots! I decide what products or services to offer, how to market them, what prices to charge, everything. That kind of freedom and responsibility is hard for kids my age to get otherwise.Speaking of responsibility, running my business has really helped me grow up and mature in a good way. I've learned all about budgeting, customer service, hard work, time management...the list goes on. Skills like those will make me super successful when I'm an adult. But I get to start practicing them now while the stakes are lower since it's just a small kid business. My parents are there to provide guidance when I need it too.Another awesome advantage is that I can earn my own money! How cool is it for a 10-year-old to have their own income?I don't have to beg my parents for an allowance or do endless chores around the house to earn money. With my own business profits, I can buy video games, clothes, sports equipment, you name it! It feels so rewarding and independent to pay for things with money I earned myself through my own hard work.That money also gives me a head start on saving for bigger goals too. Some of my profits go into a savings account for future school costs like college tuition and textbooks. Or I could use the money to start an even bigger business when I'm older!The opportunities are endless when you start making and saving money at a young age. It's like a shortcut to getting ahead in life.But probably the biggest advantage is just how much fun it is to be an entrepreneur, even as a kid. Every day is different and exciting when you're running your own business. I get to be creative in coming up with new product ideas. I get to meet new people and make friends with my customers. I even get to try out different roles like being the boss, customer service rep, marketer, delivery person, and more. It's like getting to play a new career game each day!I know that I'm getting such a huge head start in life by learning entrepreneurial skills at this age. When I'm an adult, I'll already have years of experience in business ownership, money management, customer service, you name it. That's going to make me so much more prepared for success than other adults who didn't get that head start. The skills, money, and experience I gain now will pay huge dividends in the future.If you ask me, being a kid entrepreneur is one of the coolest gigs out there. The freedom, responsibility, income, experience, life skills...what's not to love? If you get a chance to start your own business as a kid, you absolutely should do it! It'schallenging for sure, but super rewarding and fun too. Who knows, you might just become the next kid billionaire!So that's my two cents on the amazing advantages of being an entrepreneurial kid. Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any other questions! Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to get back to running my million-dollar empire...or my modest kid business, at least. Same difference to a pint-sized CEO like me! Later!篇4Being a Student EntrepreneurHi there! My name is Tommy and I'm 10 years old. I love learning new things and having fun with my friends at school. But did you know that being a student can actually give you some amazing advantages if you want to start your own business? Let me tell you all about it!First of all, us students have tons of energy and creativity. Our brains are like sponges, soaking up new information every single day. We're constantly coming up with wild ideas and thinking outside the box. That's the perfect mindset for an entrepreneur who needs to innovate and find unique solutions to problems. The business world needs fresh thinking like ours!Another big plus is that we don't have as many responsibilities and commitments as adults. We don't havefull-time jobs, mortgages, or families to support yet. That means we have lots of free time on our hands to work on our business ideas and passion projects. With fewer distractions, we can really focus and pour our heart into making our business dreams a reality.Speaking of passion, students are incredibly enthusiastic about the things we're interested in. When we find something we love, we become totally obsessed and want to learn everything about it. That zeal and determination is key for entrepreneurs who have to overcome obstacles and keep pushing no matter what. Our youthful energy and eagerness to learn gives us an amazing drive.We students are also really adaptable and aren't set in our ways yet. We don't have decades of habits and assumptions built up, so we can easily change course and pivot our ideas as needed. The ability to be nimble and shift gears quickly is hugely valuable when running a business in a fast-changing world. We naturally go with the flow.Plus, us kids are totally comfortable with technology since we've grown up with it our whole lives. We instinctivelyunderstand how to use apps, websites, and digital tools without a second thought. That fluency with tech is a massive leg up in today's online business environment. We can easily build apps, launch e-commerce stores, leverage social media marketing, and so much more.Finally, students are naturally curious and constantly asking questions. We haven't been jaded by life experiences telling us what is and isn't possible yet. We approach everything with an open mind and beginner's mindset, always eager to learn more. That insatiable curiosity prevents entrepreneurs from getting stuck in a rut and allows us to continually find new opportunities.So as you can see, we students have it made when it comes to having an entrepreneurial edge! Our vibrant minds, unstructured schedules, passionate spirits, adaptability, tech mastery, and unrelenting curiosity give us unique advantages in the business world. Who knows what amazing startups we'll come up with next? The future is ours to create!篇5Being a Kid Entrepreneur is Awesome!Hi there! My name is Timmy, and I'm 10 years old. I know what you're thinking – "What does a kid know about being anentrepreneur?" Well, let me tell you, being a young entrepreneur is the best! It's like having a superpower that lets you turn your big ideas into reality.You see, us kids have a secret advantage when it comes to starting our own businesses. We're full of creativity, energy, and we're not afraid to think outside the box. While grown-ups are often stuck in their ways, we kids have wild imaginations that can come up with the most brilliant ideas.One of the coolest things about being a kid entrepreneur is that we can turn our hobbies and passions into profitable businesses. For example, my best friend Emily loves baking cookies. She started selling her delicious treats at our school's bake sales, and now she's making serious dough (pun intended)! Emily's Cookie Creations is a hit, and she's already saving up for college.Meanwhile, I'm the tech whiz in our friend group. I taught myself how to code and build websites, and now I have my own web design company called Timmy's Techy Tots. I've already built websites for our school's PTA and a few local businesses. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be the next Mark Zuckerberg!But being a kid entrepreneur isn't just about making money (although that's a pretty sweet perk). It's also about learningvaluable life skills that will help us succeed in the future. Running our own businesses teaches us responsibility, time management, and how to communicate effectively with customers and clients.Plus, we're learning about finance, marketing, and all sorts of other important business concepts. By the time we're adults, we'll have a head start on our peers when it comes to entrepreneurship and financial literacy.And let's be real – having our own money is pretty darn cool. We don't have to ask our parents for an allowance anymore. We can buy our own video games, toys, and even save up forbig-ticket items like a new bike or a trip to Disneyland.But the best part of being a kid entrepreneur is the sense of pride and accomplishment we feel. We're not just sitting around playing video games or watching TV – we're building real businesses and making a difference in our communities.So, if you're a kid with a big idea or a passion you want to turn into a business, my advice is: go for it! Don't let anyone tell you that you're too young or inexperienced. We kids have a unique advantage, and we should use it to pursue our dreams and build our own success stories.Who knows, maybe one day we'll be the ones inspiring the next generation of kid entrepreneurs. And that, my friends, is what being a young entrepreneur is all about!篇6Being a Kid Entrepreneur is Super Cool!Hi there! My name is Alex and I'm 10 years old. I just started my own little business last year and it has been such an amazing experience! Adults always say kids can't run real businesses, but I totally disagree. In fact, I think us kids have some pretty awesome advantages when it comes to being entrepreneurs!The first big advantage we have is creativity. Kids are super imaginative and can come up with the craziest, most unique business ideas that adults would never dream of. My business is renting out crazy outfits and costumes for parties and events. Who else but a kid would think of something so fun and out there? The grownups just stick to boring things like lawn mowing services or tutoring. Yawn!Another plus for kid entrepreneurs is that we have tons of energy. Running your own business takes a lot of work - there's always something that needs to be done. But us kids are little energizer bunnies, zooming all over the place. We can work ourentrepreneurial magic at all hours without getting tired and cranky like adults do. My parents are always nagging me to slow down, but that's exactly what I need to keep my business hustling and bustling!The next advantage might surprise you - kids are way better at using technology than grownups! I have my whole business automated with apps and software. Everything from taking orders to scheduling deliveries to tracking inventory is just a few taps and swipes away on my devices. My parents still print out directions from Google Maps. How 20th century is that?!Probably the biggest entrepreneurial edge us kids have is our cute factor. Customers just can't resist our adorable faces and sweet voices. I've gotten so many extra orders and tips just by batting my eyelashes and saying "Pwetty pwease?" People want to support hard-working young entrepreneurs living their business dreams at such a tender age. The power of cute compels them!There are lots of challenges too, like trying to be taken seriously by grownups or dealing with copycats stealing my amazing ideas. I have to compete with established businesses and companies run by experienced adults. It's definitely not easy being a pint-sized entrepreneurial pioneer!But you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way. Starting my own business as a kid has taught me so many incredible lessons about responsibility, money management, customer service, and just working hard to make my dreams happen. Sure, I've made some mistakes along the way, but that's all part of the learning experience. Failing is just a step towards succeeding amazingly!Money is great and all, but the best part about being a kidpreneur is the sense of pride and accomplishment I feel. This little business is something I created from nothing. It's all mine, my own entrepreneurial baby that I've nurtured into a successful venture. That's a pretty awesome feeling, let me tell you!So to all the kids out there wondering if they have what it takes to be an entrepreneur - just go for it! Don't let anyone tell you you're too young or inexperienced. We kid entrepreneurs totally have the determination, creativity, and hustle to make it happen in the real business world. Just look at me and all I've achieved so far!I'm definitely going to keep on building my entrepreneurial empire as I get older. Maybe I'll franchise my costume rental biz across the country someday. Or pivot into an entirely new entrepreneurial space like bio-tech or green energy. Thepossibilities are limitless! Who knows, you might even see25-year-old me giving a TED talk about my childhood entrepreneurial experiences some day.For now though, I've got a business to run and a childhood to fully。

TED演讲碰到烂人时，我们该如何保持冷静？

TED演讲碰到烂人时，我们该如何保持冷静？hello大家好，我是达达。

我们一生中难免碰到三观不合的人，甚至会遇见蛮不讲理、故意找茬的人。

如果失去理智硬碰硬，可能会造成无法挽回的后果。

那这种时候，我们该如何保持冷静呢？How to Remain Calm with People碰到烂人时我们该如何保持冷静来自TED英语演说优选00:00 05:03中英文对照翻译One of the most important ways to calm down is the power to hold on.保持冷静最重要的方法之一就是坚持。

Even in challenging situations to a distinction between what someone does and what they meant to do. 即使在最艰难的情况下，区分某人做了什么和他们想要做什么。

In law, the difference is enshrined in the contrasting concepts of murder and manslaughter.在法律上，这种区别蕴藏在谋杀和过失杀人的对比概念中。

The result may be the same: the body is inert in a pool of blood.二者结果可能相同：身体在血泊中一动不动。

But we collectively feel it makes a huge difference what the perpetrators intentions were. Motives are crucial,但我们都觉得，二者有很大不同因为行凶者的意图不同。

动机是关键， but unfortunately we're seldom very good atperceiving what motives happened to be involved in the incidents that frustrateus.但不幸的是，我们并不善于感受那些碰巧惹恼我们的事故的动机。

Published 14 February 2013 00:50, Updated 14 February 2013 09:41AeroBowls owner Walter Jacobs says using the same machine used to make artificial hearts and joints gives his bowls a precision that others can’t match. Photo: Rob HomerSavvy business operators say that if you’re not expanding your business, you’re moving backwards. Never has this been more true than today, when new technologies are constantly opening up opportunities for new entrants to attack entrenched industries from left field.The success stories of yesterday must constantly innovate to keep up with the pace.BRW has compiled a list of 10 new challengers that are showing traction in industries such as telecommunications, retail, financial services and transport. They have secured funding from seasoned investors with a track record of picking winners, and have considerable talent in their ranks.Ian Gardiner, an entrepreneur and co-founder of angel investor network Innovation Bay, says even the biggest companies have humble beginnings. The juggernauts of tomorrow have to mask their plans for world domination when pitching to investors.“Investors look at it [big, disruptive ideas] quizzically, because you’re offering something so audacious and crazy you’re either a genius or an idiot,” he says.“Even if you have a disrupting idea you have to de-risk the investment language to get the initial money to get some traction.”But every so often one thing leads to another and a company that begins with a “bite-sized chunk” ends up dominating the market, or even creating an entirely new market like a social network or a person-to-person online auction house.“If business was easy and ideas were obvious, everyone would be off doing it, but the reality is it’s highly risky, and it’s not obvious.”Most of the companies we have chosen have not been trading for much more than a year, but in that time haveInstitchu’s James Wakefield and Robin McGowan.Phot: Louise Kennerley achieved significant numbers of customers or sales and are fast moving towards profitability.In the year to come, expect to hear their names more often.Travelling through Asia, formercorporate workers JamesWakefield and Robin McGowandiscovered it’s not just bucketcocktails and local wares that arpopular with tourists. Westernvisitors also buy high qualitytailor-made suits, for a fractionthe price you would pay inAustralia.So they launched InStitchu, inOctober 2011, designed to make that process easier.“We entered the workplace and faced the problem a lot of people do,” says Wakefield, a former Macquariestockbroker. “You have to wear a suit every day, so you have to own two or three suits, at least six shirts, and it gets very, very expensive.”Customers follow instructions on the website to measure themselves or a perfect-fitting shirt, then customise the ty of fabric, the design and the addition of things like buttons and cuffs. Cotton shirts cost $69 and wool suits startfrom $299. Chinese tailors make the suit and it arrives in a month. The site remembers the measurements, making future orders simple. And an online style guide, Inspiration page and Movie Suit blog help the fashion-challenged make the right decisions.The founders strategy so far seems to be working. They’re on track to comfortably hit $1 million in revenue thisfinancial year, and their average order size was $534 in December compared to $229 in January 2011. They’re now doing a capital raising and considering a Melbourne office.They are not the first online retailer to experiment with customisable clothes online. Last year online shoe designer Shoes of Prey raised $3 million from investors, while Pascale Helyar-Moray’s online jewellery shop StyleRocks claim it offers 3 trillion potential jewellery combinations.Anyone who has been through the fittings and refittings involved in getting a suit made can tell you the obvioushurdle is how to get them to fit. Wakefield and McGowan offer to reimburse any alteration fees for the first delivery and the measurements are then updated so the next one is perfect, as long as your waistline doesn’t change. Theyalso have two full-time style consultants who can measure personally for bulk orders, such as wedding groomsmen If they manage to iron out these creases, the upside is substantial. They carry almost no stock and don’t have high retail lease expenses or floor staff.Paloma Mobile, co-founder Jennifer Zanich company that develops "data efficient" smartphone apps for cheap phones on slow networks in poorer countries. Photo Fri 8th Feb 2013Photo: Michele Mossop In the next two years, half a billion new internet users could come from the developing world But slow networks and cheap phones with limited memory mean smartphone users in markets such as India, Indonesi and the Philippines have to mak more frugal use of data, and a lo of the most popular apps don’t run smoothly.Paloma Mobile is hoping to tap the fast-growing demand for “data-efficient apps”. It’s big business.“There’s about 1 billion low-end smartphones predicted to come into the market this year,” says Paloma Mobile co-founder and Silicon Valley veteran Jennifer Zanich. “It’s a transformational experience where they have a touch-screen and are suddenly connected in a way they haven’t been before.”Paloma was founded in July 20 by Zanich and Steve Langkamp. Last year it raised $1.5 million from a series A funding round le by OneVentures, with venturecapital veteran Roger Allen participating.Paloma’s cloud-based platform delivers apps using a fraction of the data used by common apps here. Its first app, Photo Chat, takes up about half a megabyte, and Zanich says people here wouldn’t be able to tell the difference in quality.They’re suited to Android phones like the Samsung Galaxy Y and other entry-level phones, which can cost less than $100 outright.Paloma plans to partner with service providers in emerging markets to provide its apps on a subscription basis, and share the revenue. Zanich can’t give details but says Paloma will go live in one country in the first quarter of this year.If the reaction of established taxi networks is anything to go by, taxi-booking smartphone apps like goCatch and ingogo are becoming a major disruption to the status quo.goCatch co-founders Ned Moorefield and Andrew Campbell.Photo: Supplied Taxi drivers who use them have been threatened with fines and even disaffiliation from network that they rely on to operate legitimately, and Taxi Councils i various states have launched campaigns attempting to portray the apps as dangerous and illega The NSW government on the other hand has been supportive goCatch, providing grants and praising its innovative approach“We’ve got traction nationally,”says goCatch co-founder AndrewCampbell. “We’ve had over 100,000 passenger downloads and over 10,000 driver registrations. Tens of thousands people each month are booking jobs with goCatch.”The company directly hooks passengers to drivers, bypassing the taxi networks. This doesn’t immediately threaten the networks’ income, as they charge taxi operators a monthly fee, as much as $2000 a month in some towns. But i does threaten them with irrelevance and its success could tempt state governments into one day lifting the rule that mandates taxis be part of a network. GoCatch’s card payment system also charges a 7.5 per cent surcharge, undercutting the 10 per cent surcharge levied by entrenched payment system Cabcharge.GoCatch also offers incentives for drivers to take the short, less desirable jobs by rewarding them with the plum longer-distance jobs.“We’ve got a long way to grow just in Australia alone,” Campbell says. “We also have plans to grow overseas, and there’s also the potential to license goCatch to other industry verticals as well.” Such as hire cars, like those used by another controversial transport app, Uber? “Potentially,” he says. “Nothing’s off the table.”The merchant trading space in Australia is starting to heat up, but smartphone payments system Pygg has been quietly growing under the radar.Chief executive Peter Crowe says users of the smartphone app, which allows people to quickly make small payments without revealing their personal information or bank account number, are now not far below 10,000.It’s taking hold in universities and schools, many of which still collect payments for excursions, uniforms, swimmin carnivals and lunches by passing a fabric bag around the classroom. Crowe says it reduces loss, theft and bullying, and leaves a paper trail to ensure the kids are paying the money where it’s meant to go.“Cash is frustrating,” Crowe says. “You might not have it, you might not have the right amount, and splitting the bil everyone dislikes trying to mange that scenario. Pygg can manage those small transactions very elegantly.”Pygg users pay a small fee to put money into their account which can then be transferred freely between users via th smartphone app or Twitter. Despite its grassroots focus, the set-up has some might behind it. It’s backed by technology incubator Pollenizer, and its founders are Yahoo!7 chief executive Rohan Lund and Tim Howard, chiefAeroBowls at the company’s factory at Rosebury in Sydney Photo: Rob Homer financial officer of Vividwireless and former prime minister John Howard’s son.Its release coincided with the 2011 collapse of the $225 million project MAMBO which was Australia’s big four bank answer to PayPal. More recently, PayPal has launched merchant trading platform PayPal Here, which allowsmerchants to accept card payments with smartphones.Commonwealth Bank has released the Kaching iPhone app allowing peer-to-peer payments using a smartphone, bu Crowe believes Pygg’s advantage is it is “bank agnostic”. “Banks don’t acquire customers so easily,” he says. “We can acquire a customer at one tenth or 20th or 100th the cost of a bank acquiring a customer. Certainly we see a large place for disruption.”But he has no immediate plans to offer a merchant trading solution the likes of Square Ventures. “There’s a lot ofglobal innovation occurring there – there’s more upside and more need for us to be doing peer to peer,” he says.When almost every form ofmanufacturing is being movedoffshore, some businesses areusing technological advances tokeep things local.Walter and Sharon Jacobs areamong that group ofentrepreneurs with their recentventure AeroBowls, which theyclaim manufactures the mosthigh-tech lawn bowls the worldhas ever seen.Their factory in Rosebery, Sydnehas made 5300 sets of bowlssince it opened in January 2012all of them selling for about $550. With a set-up cost of $4 million, the factory employs only three people and uses a high-tech Japanese machine, with a second one due in April to boost capacity so the Jacobses can go after thelucrative English market.“It’s the same machine that manufactures artificial hearts, and other parts like knees and hips and things like that,”Walter Jacobs says. It also makes parts for the A380 aircraft, he says.Aero’s pitch to bowlers is its level of precision. Jacobs says other bowls are made using a two-axis lathe and moved around several times during production, reducing accuracy and meaning no two bowls are exactly the same – amajor problem for elite players of this precision sport. His machines make the bowl in one go, to an accuracy ofone-thousandth of a millimetre.Their product has won the enthusiastic support of iconic Australian bowler Kelvin Kerkow and sponsors a number English champions including three-time world champion Ellen Falkner.Jacobs insists the sport has a bright future. “Dying, it definitely is not,” he says. “There are around 1 million bowler in the world, and that’s been a stable figure for many years now. Many more youth are coming into the game due tosponsorship from companies like us and more prizemoney.”Jack Fitzgerald, co-founder of Melbourne shipping company Ship2Anywhere knows what it’s like to be a disrupter i the very traditional transport sector.His business provides discount shipping services over the internet and while it is in competition with courier and transport businesses, Fitzgerald also needs these suppliers to make his business work. But it wasn’t easy to get thes suppliers on board.“There are definitely people in the industry that are very old-school in the way they operate and their technology. B unless they invest now or find a partner they will get left behind.”Ship2Anywhere now has some big companies behind it. DHL, Allied Express and Fastway supply it with transport services and it itself is a preferred supplier for eBay.Fitzgerald, who started the business with Michael Teasdale in 2010, says revenue surpassed $1 million in calendar 2012 and is on track to double in 2013.One of the drivers of that growth will be an expansion into the online retail sector. In January the company opened its technology up to e-commerce firms, allowing them to use Ship2Anywhere as their shipping provider.“We give accurate quotes that are instant per shipment, and then provide the shipping labels,” Fitzgerald says. “The is no risk to the merchant.”The expansion will mean Ship2Anywhere can piggyback off the ecommerce providers to grow.“It’s almost marketing through channels. It’s a lot easier to jump on other people’s demand and fulfil it than create demand yourself.”It’s difficult to explain to a layperson what ScriptRock actually does. But it’s clearly something important because it Facebook backer and US billionaire Peter Thiel’s first Australian investment.The company designs cloud-based tools that streamline the information technology processes that go on behind th scenes in big companies.It allows companies to test software changes before they enact them, potentially saving a network breakdown. And allows companies to store, test and track configurations across large and complex systems, to avoid the common problem where companies discover one day that there are no longer any employees who know how a long-standing system was built, and find its instruction books have gone out of date after myriad add-ons. and upgrades.ScriptRock was founded by former IT consultants Michael Baukes and Alan Sharp-Paul. They don’t name their clients but they include two of Australia’s big four banks and a few other major institutions in the US and South Africa, along with hundreds of smaller ones.“I think in the next five years you will pretty much see it deployed by every company moving towards the cloud,”Baukes says. “They will be powered by ScriptRock in some way.”LIFX founder Phil Bosua Photo: Supplied They employ eight people with offices in Sydney and Palo Alto, California, and expect that to reach 14 to 16 by theend of the year.Phil Bosua’s first app was hardlyworld-changing, but it showedhim just how fast the smartphonwas taking off. Called iFart, thefree app generated a randomgastric noise at the push of thebutton, and achieved 50,000downloads in the first fewmonths.Grounded in this experience ofappealing to the masses, he camup with an idea that would raise$1.3 million on crowd-fundingsite Kickstarter in six days. Hissuper smart lightbulb can beswitched on and off with asmartphone, morphed to almost any colour, is highly energy efficient and lasts up to 25 years before it needsreplacing. But he will have to bring about a major change in consumer behaviour to convince the masses to pay $79bulb.“We think we have stumbled onto a brand new category in consumer electronics,” Bosua says. “Most people are use to spending $5 on a light bulb. We’re asking them to spend $79 but people seem to see value in that.”The bulb was so popular on Kickstarter that his company, LIFX, had to put a freeze on pledges. Those who areinterested are now redirected to the LIFX website where they can register interest. Bosua says registrations now add up to $15 million of sales, and he has more than $50 million of interest from major distributors. Technologyentrepreneur Guy King, founder of coupon website RetailMeNot, was an early investor.Bosua is working through factory-made prototypes from China in preparation for the first production run. Thebiggest risk at this stage is someone will copy him before he gets to market.Sydney-based online start-up Airtasker hopes to become the middleman for odd jobs – the kinds of things that you now find advertised in local paper classifieds, community notice boards and online forums.Founded in February 2012, it connects people who want to outsource daily tasks with people who can complete the It raised $1.5 million in funding last year from BridgeLane Capital and other investors, and has just acquired small rival TaskBox. In its first year it matched workers to $600,000 worth of jobs. It’s one of three such start-upsestablished in the past year, competing with Occasional Butler and Sidekicker.Airtasker co-founder and chief executive, Tim Fung, says the acquisition would bolster Airtasker’s network of“runners”, which include students, retirees and stay-at-home parents, to more than 40,000. Most are in Sydney, wi Melbourne a close second, he says.“We’re in some ways competing with some classifieds, but we take the service to the next level in offering trust and safety features, profiling and reviews,” Fung says. “That’s a lot more powerful than someone posted on a classified. That person might have done a terrible job and you’d never know.”He hopes to push into the United States, but will face stiff competition from TaskRabbit – a US-based start-up whic is doing the same thing.Happy Inspector’s iPad app aimed at property managers has its sights on the American market, after a happy inspection of the opportunities there.The Adel;aide-based start-up, founded by Jindou Lee, Philip Mayes and Andrew Mackenzie-Ross, was selected for seed funding and mentoring in the 2012 Startmate program, which involved some time in Silicon Valley. It raised funds there from angel investors and Dave McClure’s 500 Startups program, after difficulty raising funds in Australia.The cloud-based app guides a property manager through a routine inspection, saving the hassle of typing it out and sending it to the landlord, tenant and tenancy tribunal.Lee, an avid property investor now based in San Francisco, says it saves 75 per cent of a property manager’s time on normal inspection. He now has more than 5000 property managers in Australia and the United States using the product.“We’re cash flow negative, but sailing very smoothly towards the other side,” Lee says. “We haven’t had a product suitable for the US market for very long.”。
