The first thing to do if you decide to try Internet dating is to build your profile (简介) which can include your hobbies，hopes for the future，and so on.A photograph is optional，but many sites claim that a photograph increases the number of people who look at your profile.Many Internet dating sites will charge a one-time registration fee to use their services.
Internet dating makes it possible to meet people from all over the world.Your call even narrow the search down to your area by zip code (邮政编码)．Another advantage is that you can communicate by e-mail before you meet in person.Thousands of people have met，fallen in love，and married through Internet dating.It is an excellent way for shy people to meet.It is also a way for people with busy lives to connect with others，and an easy way to meet people who share your interests.
Just as in conventional dating and love，there are some pitfalls to be aware of in Internet dating.The person you have been talking to on the Net may not be who they say they are.Be very aware that there are some people who misrepresent their appearance or private details，such as marital status，income，and so on，for their own reasons.It would not be the first time that someone has been taken in，and talk shows are full of cheating partners who have been caught dating over the Internet in their spare time.Nevertheless，taking a few simple precautions (防范措施) should help ensure that your Internet dating experience is fun.

It’s a great sunny day，so it’s time to get out and enjoy the weather.Many of us would like to，but we have projects due，tasks that need to be done，people that we need to see，and money that needs to be made.
What if your company gave you that time off as compensation for the great effort that you gave to the team to finish a project on time？See，when it comes to teamwork，the main focus is for the team to work together.In a “winning” team there is an equal balance of people who have unique strengths and weaknesses.
Take the example of the Chicago Bulls of the 1990s.Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player to play the game，but did they win a championship every year when Michael had played？No.It took a (D-type) Michael Jordan to lead the team and control the outcome.It took a(n) (I-type) wild and energetic Dennis Rodman to keep the team fun and interesting.It took (S-types) Scottie Pippin，Bill Cartwright，and John Paxson to support the team.And it took the (C-type) analytical mind of Coach Phil Jackson to create a foundation for the players to play on.In the end they，the Chicago Bulls，were able to win six championships within eight years.
What is your team made up of？All Jordans？All Jacksons？All Rodmans？Or all Pippins，
Cartwrights and Paxsons？It is you who can choose who’s on your team.Try finding the right people for the right job，and you will have a “winning” team every time!
