“你是否具備殺手本能？我們這里說的可不是任天堂游戲……”這是我們公司運(yùn)動會通知的開頭。這則消息迅速傳開，不僅當(dāng)月在傳，它一直傳到4月10日—也就是運(yùn)動會當(dāng)天！PartA Text Translation

第20頁/共123頁運(yùn)動會是大家期待已久的大事，組委會為此做了大量的規(guī)劃和協(xié)調(diào)工作。它的順利召開是整個團(tuán)隊竭誠努力的結(jié)果。組委會核心小組的每一位成員對此都興奮不已，小組形成了一個團(tuán)隊，一個致力于使這次運(yùn)動會圓滿成功的團(tuán)隊。PartA Text Translation

第21頁/共123頁運(yùn)動項目表在公司員工中傳閱，我們都報名參加自己想要參加的項目。備受歡迎的棋盤游戲（如拼字游戲和國際象棋）也屬參賽項目。此外還有無袋臺球、數(shù)獨(dú)和引發(fā)熱議的乒乓球。很少有人會不顧自己現(xiàn)有的專長就去參加某個項目，而是有些人會根據(jù)自己在某項運(yùn)動方面的天賦做出選擇?！璓artA Text Translation

第22頁/共123頁……總之非常有趣，因為每個項目都有很多人參加。運(yùn)動會使大家走得更近了。我們越來越了解彼此，發(fā)現(xiàn)隱藏在彼此身上的才能，最重要的是，我們獲得了一次機(jī)會重回學(xué)生時代。PartA Text Translation

第23頁/共123頁積極參與！這是我們運(yùn)動會的口號，我們也確實做到了。大部分人參加了至少一項運(yùn)動，有些甚至更多。有些人組織比賽，有些人當(dāng)裁判，有些人觀看其他人比賽?！坝^看”可不是那種靜靜的觀看，每一項比賽都有一群著迷的觀眾為運(yùn)動員加油喝彩。PartA Text Translation

第24頁/共123頁運(yùn)動會帶給我們的另一收獲就是我們都走到了一起，成為一個團(tuán)隊。運(yùn)動會不只是一次團(tuán)隊建設(shè)活動，更是一次促進(jìn)團(tuán)隊協(xié)作的活動！平日里碰面只打聲招呼的人在運(yùn)動會中一起歡呼加油，這的確會產(chǎn)生巨大變化。彼此幾乎不認(rèn)識的人同屬一支隊伍，而最好的朋友則相互比賽。PartA Text Translation

第25頁/共123頁在頒獎典禮上，我們的CEO應(yīng)邀發(fā)言。他說：“勝利增強(qiáng)自信，自信贏得勝利。今天，大家知道了勝利的滋味，對不對？贏了比賽的人對此很清楚，沒有贏的人會有更深切的體會！我不愿用‘失敗’這個詞。你要么贏，要么沒贏，在我的詞典里沒有‘輸’這個字。”他接著說：“你們都應(yīng)心懷勝利的目標(biāo)并且相信自己能獲勝。信念至關(guān)重要；它能帶你在生活中前行。相信自己，成功并不遙遠(yuǎn)。PartA Text Translation
