Trampolining

What’s more fun than standing still? Jumping up and down on a springy piece of fabric (織物)! This activity is known as trampolining and it’s sweeping the nation.

The idea of trampolining is ancient.Eskimos have been throwing each other in the air for thousands of years.Firemen began using a life net to catch people jumping from buildings in 1887.【1】

A gymnast named George Nissan and his coach Larry Griswold made the first modern trampoline in 1936.They got the idea by watching swing artists bouncing off of a tight net at the circus.They named their equipment after the Spanish word trampolín, which means diving board.

【2】 In 1942 they began making trampolines to sell to the public.

【3】Experts find that more than 100,000 people hurt themselves while using one each year.Clubs and gyms use large safety nets or other equipment to make it safer.Most trampoline injuries happen at home.Since trampolines are more affordable than ever, injuries are even more common.

These injuries happen for many reasons.People may bounce too high and land off of the trampoline or onto the springs.【4】Perhaps the worst injuries happen when untrained people try to do flips (快速翻轉(zhuǎn)).Landing on your neck or head can cause injuries or even kill you.

But don’t let all that bad news keep you down.There are many things that you can do to practice safe trampolining.Trampolines have been around for a while now.They have brought a lot of joy to many people.They can be a good source of eercise and activity.【5】But they can also be deadly.It is important to follow some professional guidance.Be sure that you are practicing safety while having a good time.Happy bouncing!

A. They can help people improve their balance and moves.

B. Trampolines may be fun, but they can also be dangerous.

C. The men wanted to share their idea with the whole world.

D. Injuries also happen when many people are jumping at the same time.

E. You can surround your trampoline with a net so that people don’t fall off of it.

I had lunch last week with a high-ranking business woman for a fortune 500 company. I asked her what tips she would give to someone early in their career. Without hesitation she jumped right into four keys to her professional climb:

Know your business. Never get satisfaction with your industry or your position. In most cases, the knowledge you hold now is not good enough to stand the test of time. Thus, you must keep working to stay on top of what’s new and what’s coming down the pipeline. This is what really counts, especially early in a professional career, as many entry level associates(同事) are content to be gainfully employed.

Pick careers with care. Again, early in your career it is easy to run after the job that offers the most money. In the case of a life-long career money cannot answer all things. If you are going to be an entrepreneur(企業(yè)家) then you’ll probably start with a budget of zero. Yet, if you have the discipline, working for yourself could be the best choice you’ve ever made.

If you are going to work for a company you have to do your homework. If you find a company that consists with your values and produces a product that you 100% believe in, then you’ll have an easy time giving that organization your all.

Be personable(有風(fēng)度的). If everyone hates to be around you at the office, it’s time to check your attitude. We’ve all heard at least one anecdote(軼事) about a great thinker with great skills who drove coworkers crazy. Someway, somehow many of the brightest and best lack the “people skills” to advance beyond an entry-level position.

In short, you must have the interpersonal(人與人之間的) insight(洞察力) to interact(互動(dòng)) with internal(內(nèi)部的) and external(外部的) contacts. If not, you may find that you are unimportant once someone with soft-skills joins the organization. Why? People have to buy you before they ever buy the product you’re selling.

Be willing to move. This is where I got puzzled. She shared how she lived in seven states still working for the same organization.

Much is made of moving in today’s attempts to climb the corporate ladder. As more and more companies extend to have a global reach, it is easy to understand why new opportunities birth in various locations.

Whatever the path, outline in your heart what destination you hope to reach and this will be a key indicator as to which journey will be greatest for you.
