Dr Sam Parnia, an assistant professor at the StateUniversity of New York and a former research fellow at the University of Southampton who led theresearch, said that he previously that patients who described near-deathexperiences were only relating hallucinatory events.山姆博士，纽约州立大学的助理教授，领导此次研究的南安普顿大学的前研究人员，称他以前认为声称有濒死体验的病人只是产生了幻觉而已。

One man, however, gave a “very credible” account of whatwas going on while doctors and nurses tried to bring him back to life – andsays that he felt he was observing his resuscitation from the corner of theroom.

Dr Parnia said: “We know the brain can’t function whenthe heart has stopped beating.“But in this case, conscious awareness appears tohave continued for up to three minutes.“The man described everything that hadhappened in the room, but importantly, he heard two bleeps from a machine thatmakes a noise at three minute intervals. So we could time how long theexperienced lasted for.但是一位男性患者给出了极为可信的描述，他描述了当医生和护士在抢救他时发生的事，并且他说他觉得自己正在屋子的角落耐看着自己的复苏。山姆博士称，我们知道在心脏停止跳动后，大脑无法运行，但在这个案例中，意识一直存在了3分钟。那位男患者描述了当时屋里发生的每件事情，更重要的是，他听到一台机器发出的两次鸣音，这台机器每隔3分钟会发出一次鸣音。所以我们可以计算出他的意识存在了多长时间。

Dr Parnia’s study involved 2,060 patients from 15hospitals in the UK, US and Austria, and has been published in the journal Resuscitation.山姆博士的研究涉及了2060位患者，包括英国、美国、澳大利亚的15家医院，并且在医学杂志《复苏》上刊登。

Of those who survived, 46 per cent experienced a broad range of mentalrecollections, nine per cent had experiences compatible with traditional definitions of anear-death experience and two per cent exhibited full awareness with explicit recall of“seeing” and “hearing” events – or out-of-body experiences.在这些幸存者中，有46%的人经验了广泛的精神记忆，9%的人经验了符合传统定义的濒死体验，2%的人展现了充分的觉知，可以明确的回忆起“所看”和“所听”的事件，这也被称为“灵魂出窍”体验。

Dr Jerry Nolan, editor-in-chief of the journal whichpublished the research, said: “The researchers are to be congratulated on thecompletion of a fascinating study that will open the door to more extensiveresearch into what happens when we die.”杂志的主编杰瑞博士负责刊登了这篇报道，称，研究人员完成了这项吸引人的研究真是值得祝贺，而且这也为研究当人死去后会发生什么这个更宽的议题打开了大门。

Self Awareness_Key to Emotional Intelligence

自我意识—情商的关键

“If your emotional abilities aren't in hand, if you don'thave self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions,if you can't have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter howsmart you are, you are not going to get very far.

Daniel Goleman 丹尼尔说：“如果你没有控制情绪的能力，如果你不具备自我意识，如果你不能管理你的负面情绪，如果你没有同理心、并构建有效关系，那么无论你有多聪明，你都无法走很远。

“IQ is a major factor in deciding which profession youcan get into. But once you are in that field, emotional intelligence emerges asa much stronger predictor of who will be most successful, because it is how wehandle ourselves in our relationships that determines how well we do once weare in a given job.”智商是决定你从事什么专业的决定因素。但一旦你从事了某行业，决定你成功与否的是情商，因为一份工作中，人际关系会决定我们能做得多好，而情商决定人际关系。

Daniel Goleman

A recent survey of 75 members of the Stanford GraduateSchool of Business Advisory Council rated self-awareness as the most important capability forleaders to develop. Executives need to know where their natural inclinations lie in order to boostthem or compensate for them. Self-awareness is about identifying their ownpersonal idiosyncrasies— the characteristics that executives take to be the norm-- but actually represent the exception.一项针对斯坦福大学的商学院顾问委员会的委员进行调查，有75名委员均将情商列为领导人最为重要的一项能力。高管们需要了解自己的脾性，从而扬长避短。自我意识是包括认知到其自身的特性，这被高管们视为理所当然的特质，实际上是特例。

Self-awareness is indeed very important for leaders, andis one of the five dimensions of “Emotional Intelligence” identified by Dr.Daniel Goleman, a leading expert on the subject of “EQ.” In the old days,perhaps a person in a position of responsibility could survive solely on the basis oftheir “IQ” and professional expertise. But in the complex world we now live in,where people have increasingly higher standards for those they follow, leadersare expected to continuously develop their EQ if they are to earn the respectof others.自我意识对于领导更为重要，且是丹尼尔博士定义的情商的五个维度之一。丹尼尔博士是研究情商课题的领先专家。在过去，一个处于领导位置的负责人可能只需要其智商和专业技能就可以了，但在我们现在生存的复杂世界中，人们已经对其领导人有了不断增加的更高标准，如果想被人尊重，领导人就需要持续地提高他们的情商。

Never heard of “Emotional Intelligence or “EQ?” Then Isuggest that this article is going to be important for you!你从没听说过“情商”这个概念？那我建议这篇文章将会对你很重要。

Goleman’s 5 Dimensions of Emotional Intelligence include:

1. Self-awareness: literally ‘knowing yourself’

2. Self-regulation: managing yourself and your moods

3. Motivation: knowing what motivates you and what doesnot

4. Empathy: the ability to experience others as legitimate and valuable andidentify with their struggles

5. Social skills: the ability to build rapport with others,whenever needed

丹尼尔博士对情商定义的五大维度包括：

1、自我意识：也即“了解自己”

2、自我调节：管理自己和自己的情绪

3、自我激励：知道什么可以激励自己，而什么不可以

4、同理心：能够对别人的心态感同身受，并认同别人的努力

5、社交技巧：在任何需要的情况下，能与别人建立默契的能力

We claim that Self Awareness is the ‘master key’ toEmotional Intelligence and that the other four of Goleman’s EQ elements allultimately link backto Self-Awareness.

So in this article we are going to talk about threethings regarding Self-Awareness:我们认为，丹尼尔博士的五大情商标准中，自我意识是情商的至为关键，其它四项最终都取决于自我意识。

• What is it really?

• How can you develop it?

• Why it is the absolutely essential “Master Key” foraspiring leaders

那么自我意识到底是什么？

我们如何提高它

为什么它是成为有抱负的领导者的绝对必需的“万能钥匙”？

 Self-Awareness:what is it really?

According to Mind Tools (http://www.mindtools.com/) “Ifyou're self-aware, you always know how you feel, and you know how your emotionsand your actions can affect the people around you. Being self-aware when you'rein a leadership position also means having a clear picture of your strengthsand weaknesses, and it means behaving with humility.”

1、自我意识到底是什么？

根据心智工具网站的定义，“如果你有自我意识，你永远都知道自己感觉怎样，而且你知道自己的情绪和行动将对周围人产生怎样的影响。作为领导者，有自我觉知意味着你对自己的优点和弱点有清晰的了解，谦虚地待人处事

That’s a good start but to really understand SelfAwareness, you must go deeper than this. In our definition, Self-Awareness and“Other Awareness” are simply two sides of the same coin. The two are naturalparts of the same process, just as Yin is part of Yang. “So what?” you ask!Well, think about this:这是个不错的开端，但想真正了解自我意识，你必须更深入地了解它。在我们的定义中，自我意识和“他人意识”是一枚硬币的两面。二者是同一过程的两个天然组成部分，正如阴阳共生一样。“那又怎样？”你会问了，好，再想想：

• If there were no ‘others’ it wouldn’t make any sense totalk about a ‘self’ at all…would it? As humans, we naturally experience our‘self’ in relationship to others, whether they be colleagues, family members,or utter strangers.如果没有别人存在，那么谈论自己就压根没有任何意义了，对吧？作为人类，我们在与同事、家人或陌生人等交往中，自然地形成了“自我”意识。

• Those ‘others’ also experience their ‘self” only inrelation to ‘others.’“别人”也是在与其他人的交往过程中形成了“自我”意识。

• Therefore, Self Awareness and Other Awareness shouldnot be separated: when we talk about one, we must talk about the other.因此，自我意识和他人意识是不能分开而论的，当我们谈到此，我们必须论及彼。

• For you emerging leaders: there is nothing more important thanunderstanding your self, in order that you can understand others.对于领导人而言，最重要的是先要了解自己，这样你就能了解他人。

And, since humans are at root, self-centered, most people are more thanwilling to looking in the mirror once in a while, right? But that kind ofself-admiration and narcissism are NOT what we are writing about here. We aretalking about you, willing to see the WHOLE picture of yourself, embrace it asit is, and start working with it. Ok, if you are ready, we can now answer thequestion “What is self awareness really?”JThe good news in all this?As you deepen your insightsinto yourself, others stop seeming so mysterious and hard to understand. Youwill gain insight, empathy and confidence simply by working on your ownSelf-Awareness. What a deal! 人类本质上都是自我中心的，大多人更愿意时时照照镜子，对吗？但那种自我欣赏和自恋并非我们今天要谈的。我们谈的是你，你愿意看顾到你自身的合貌，拥抱你本来的样子，并且开始与之合作。好的，如果你准备好了，我们现在可以回答这个问题：“什么是自我意识？”所谓的好消息就是这个？当你深入地洞察自身时，别人也就不再看起来神秘难解。通过提高自我意识，你将获得洞察力、同理心和自信心。多划算啊！

Self-Awareness includes:

• Knowing what you like, dislike and why: what motivatesyou and what demotivates you, being aware of your own values

• Being crystal clear about your talents and strengthsAND your weaknesses

• Being conscious of the content of your own mind (not ascommon as you might think!)…the ability to observe your own thoughts

• Knowing your own beliefs and knowing which ones empoweryou and which ones should be discarded…including beliefs about yourself ANDothers

• Knowing your direction in life: where you are headedand why

• Knowing and appreciating your own unique value as ahuman being

自我意识包括：

了解什么是你喜欢和不喜欢的，以及为什么：什么可以激励你，而什么不能激励你，认识自己的价值观

对自己的才能和优缺点了然于胸

对自己思想的内容保持觉察，有观察自己思想的能力

明白你自己的信念，并且知道哪些可以带给你力量，哪些应该丢弃，信念也包括对你自身和对别人的

知道你人生的方向：你的目标是什么，为什么？

知道并欣赏你作为一个人的独特价值。

中石化交易

You cannot keep allof the people happy all of the time. China’s latest restructuring of astate-owned enterprise is likely to make only a small number of people veryhappy – and upset a great deal more.你无法永远让所有的人都开心。中国的国有企业中石化的最近两次重组，可能只让一小部分人感到开心，而让很多人感到失望。

Over the weekend,state-owned China Petrochemical Corp (Sinopec Group) announced two deals whichwill hurt shareholders who own its Hong Kong subsidiary, Sinopec. First,Sinopec will sell a 30 per cent stake in its fuel retailing business. Chinesewhite goods maker Haier, finance companies and domestic investment funds arepaying $17.5bn for assets Bernstein thinks could be worth $22bn.上周末，中石化公司宣布了两宗交易，交易伤害了中石化香港子公司的持股者。第一笔交易中，中石化将卖出其燃油销售公司30%的股份。中国的白色家电制造商，海尔，金融公司和国内投资基金为此支付了175亿美元，所购资产在伯恩斯坦看来可能价值220亿美元。

The second dealwill save the groupfrom a writedown onits 40 per cent stake in affiliate Yizheng Chemical. Under mainland rules, lossmaking Yizheng faceddelisting next year, resulting in a writedown for Sinopec of as much as $1.7bn.To save Yizheng from delisting, the Sinopec Group parent will inject itsprofitable oil services group into Yizheng in return for just under $4bn in newshares of Yizheng. The price Yizheng will pay for this new business, at 10times 2014 earnings, looks cheap – especially for a company expecting toincrease earnings by nearly one half next year.第二宗交易将集团免于减记旗下子公司仪征化工40%的股票。根据大陆的政策，总是亏损的仪征化工面临着明年会被退市，而这会带给中石化母公司多达17亿美元的资产减记。为了使仪征免于退市，中石化母公司将其利润最丰厚的石油服务企业注入仪征化工，换回仪征化工近40亿的新股票。仪征为此项新交易付的费用是其2014年收入的10倍，这很便宜，尤其是所购入公司明年预计总收入会增长一半。

How to be an entrepreneur happily marriedto an entrepreneur

创业夫妇的幸福之道

This post is inpartnership with Time. The article below was originally published atEntrepreneur.com

ROMIO and Juliettemeans more to us than a Shakespearean, romantic tragedy. We chose to name ourseparate businesses in a complementary way, which is the way we approach ourrelationship. Our cats are even named Mark Anthony and Cleopatra.这篇文章是与时代杂志合作的，起初刊登于企业家网络上。罗密欧与朱丽叶对我们而言不仅仅意味着莎翁的爱情悲剧。我们选择用这样一种互补方式来命名我们各自的生意，以此来增进我们的感情。我们的猫甚至也命名为马克•安东尼和克里欧佩特拉。

When we first gottogether, only one of us was in the startup role. Now, happily married fornearly seven years, we’re both running our own businesses in New York City.Tarik runs ROMIO, a platform that provides trusted recommendations for localservices from friends and neighbors, while Rechelle runs Juliette, a mobile appthat offers premiumovernight laundry service.起初我们在一起时，只有一人在创业。现在在度过大约7年幸福的婚姻生活后，我们各自在纽约开办了自己的生意，塔里克经营着罗密欧公司，是让朋友和邻居提供当地服务的信任推荐的平台；蕾切尔经营着朱丽叶公司，是一个通宵提供优质洗衣服务的手机app应用。

The best way we candescribe our relationship now is a roller coaster ride, traveling in differentdirections at varying speeds. We work perfectly opposite schedules, with Tarikbuilding ROMIO by meeting local experts during the day and Rechelle running herservice at night, and are always on the go. But every day at 7 p.m., weunfasten our seatbelts, get off the roller coaster and make an effort to share ameal together before parting in different directions.形容我们关系的最好形容是我们像坐着过山车，我们以不同速度向着不同方向行进着。我们的工作日程完全不同，塔里克白天会见当地专家，搭建罗密欧平台，而蕾切尔则在晚上运营她的服务，我们时时忙个不停。但到了每晚7点，我们会松开安全带，离开过山车，尽力能在前往不同方向前坐在一起吃晚餐。

We’ve found fourways to keep our relationship at home healthy while balancing our growingcompanies.我们找到4种方式来维持家庭关系的健康发展，与此同时，也能照顾好双方的不断发展的公司。

Time:

The greatestbenefit of being married to another entrepreneur is the ability to control ourown schedules. Constantly working and driving a startup is draining, so weforce ourselves to take short vacations to recharge. About two weeks ago, wetook a trip to Saint Thomas and did absolutely nothing except lay on the beachand soak in the sun. We came back fully recharged and relaxed. This helpstremendously, especially since most small business owners work more than 50 toeven 60 hours per week, the Financial Post reported, something we’ve definitelyfound to be true in our own lives.

If we can’t take ashort trip away from the city, we try to make an effort to relax and wind downtogether, whether it’s at dinner table or going out to see a new show or movieat the theater.

第一：时间

与另一位企业家结婚的最大好处在于，我们都能掌控各自的日程安排。持续不断的工作和领导一个初创公司极为耗神，所以我们会强迫自己安排短期度假借此充电，大约两周前，我们前往了圣托马斯区，在那儿我们什么也不做，只是躺在沙滩上晒太阳。回来时，我们感觉精力充沛，浑身轻松。这个帮助很大，尤其是按照金融邮报报道的，大多小企业家每周会工作超过50甚至60个小时，就我们的生活来看，这的确如此。

如果我们不能离开城市进行一个短期度假，我们会尽力在一起做点事放松平静下来，或者是共进晚餐，或者一起去剧院看新剧或电影。

Mind share:

While we may be at different development stages in ourstartups, we see a lot of synergies to building our businesses—especially sincewe’re in the same industry. We often leverage mutual contacts and sharecampaigns, from investors to website developers. And we never hesitate to useeach other as a sounding board for ideas and concepts, tweaking andbrainstorming aloud, before taking it public to the team or investors.

分享观点

我们各自的创业公司虽然处于不同阶断，但我们发现在构筑自己公司时可以产生大量协同效应，尤其是因为我们处于相同的产业。我们常常进行交流和分享，话题从投资者到网络建设商。在把想法和理念公布给投资者和团队前，我们会与彼此先做交流、征询意见，这一点我们从不迟疑。

or example, we tap into Rechelle’s strong background inmarketing and social skills to get feedback for ROMIO’s user interface. We alsoleverage Tarik’s background in finance and strong business acumen to strengthenJuliette’s business model.比如，我们充分利用了蕾切尔的强大的营销和社交技巧的背景，来获得罗密欧的用户界面的反馈。我们也同样利用塔里克在金融方面的背景和强大的商业头脑来改善朱丽叶的商业模式
