1 . Office Manners
Be punctual. As a newcomer, you should arrive early, not just on the first day and don’t be the first to leave at the end of the day.
Respect other people’s privacy. Knock before you enter someone’s office and do not read any correspondence lying on somebody’s desk. If you need to discuss a private matter with a colleague, make sure nobody else can overhear you.
Be neat and clean.
Don’t disturb others. Always apologize if you interrupt a discussion, someone’s concentration or other activities. Be aware of how loudly you may be speaking. If people in other offices comment on your conversations, perhaps your voice is too loud.
In short, office manners are about being respectful and polite in the office. It is an essential part of growing professionally and becoming a more mature person in the business world.

4 . For many of us, being alone is a negative state of being, implying isolation, being on the outside. Even further, it may imply that there is something actually wrong with a person who remains alone.

6 . Don't brag(炫耀),but be proud of what you've done. These two pieces of advice were tough to balance before Facebook existed.
Social media like Facebook bring us convenience.
According to Therapist Jessica Michaels, providing "emotional context" may help prevent what might be seen as a bragging. Think about how you say something, not just what you say. Frame it in a way that makes it more of a sharing idea. For example, if you plan a party for Christmas, you could post "Hey friends of mine! Let's plan this together. Maybe we could all go." instead of saying "Oh I can't wait to enjoy my party."
Remember, the original intention behind social media is a connector, and your true best friends definitely do want to know when things are going good for you. Next time when you post a photo of your fantastic winter vacation, for example, make sure to tag your friends.
A little bit of social media love goes a long way!
A.To post or not to post? |
B.Will it make me a celebrity? |
C.Tell them you wish they were by your side. |
D.They are the most important friends in our life. |
E.Meanwhile, they can put us in danger of oversharing. |
F.It makes a big difference how you express your ideas. |
G.Even today's share-it-all social media haven't made it any easier. |
