护理专业英文求职信【实用20篇】

Dear Bob,

I’m sorry to say that I cannot go to the bookstore with you on Friday

afternoon. I have just found that I have to attend an important class meeting

that afternoon. I hope the change will not cause you too much

trouble.

Shall we go on Saturday morning? We can set out early so that we’ll

have more time to read and select books. If it’s convenient for you, let’s meet

at 8:30 outside the school gate. If not, let me know what time suits you best. I

should be available any time after school next week.

Yours,

Li Hua

我决定写一封信向他道歉英文7

Dear Shelley,

I’m writing to apologize for not watering your jasmine, which caused

its death, while you were away.Now let me explain what

happened to me and my family.

I was so busy preparing for the coming exam that I had no time for

other things. What’s more, my mother had her ankle

injured while she was walking, so I had to take good care of her, who stayed at

home alone. That was why I failed to water your favorite plant. I would like to

buy a new one as a compensation for your loss. Please forgive me.

I sincerely hope you can accept my apologies.

Yours,

Li Hua

我叫×××，来自02E1班，也就是电子商务专业的学生。下面是我的简单自我介绍：

本人就读于广东省对外贸易学校，将于200XX年6月毕业。我非常珍惜在校期间的学习机会，认真学习文化课程，较熟悉地掌握专业知识，与此同时，我还学会了许多做人做事的道理。三年来的学习生话磨练出一个自信和上进心强的我。

面对知识经济的到来，计算机技术也得到了广泛的应用。作为一个21世纪的中专生，面对的又是一个新的挑战。不仅要有扎实的专业技能，还需有更多方面的知识。所以中专期间我不断学习，不断拼搏，努力学习各种计算机网络，网页设计，互联网技术，2000 Server，微机原理，跟单信用证，英语函电，国际贸易实务等专业知识。除此之外还选修了案例分析，商务代理，photoshop图像处理以及物流知识等以提高自己的综合素质。鉴于此，我希望能在毕业后谋一职位，热切期望能用自己所学之技为社会做出自己的微薄之力。对待学习，我认真努力，对待工作我同样也能做到爱岗敬业，谨慎负责，一丝不苟。在生活方面我乐观，热情，诚恳，宽容。我自信能胜任自己的工作，本着“迎难而上”的精神，我将凭自己的能力克服各种困难，更好地胜任将

工作以来，在单位领导的精心培育和教导下，通过自身的不断努力，无论是思想上、学习上还是工作上，都取得了长足的发展和巨大的收获，现将工作总结如下：

思想上，积极参加政治学习，坚持四项基本原则，拥护党的各项方针政策，自觉遵守各项法规。

工作上，本人自xxxx年工作以来，先后在某某部门、某某科室、会计科等科室工作过，不管走到哪里，都严格要求自己，刻苦钻研业务，争当行家里手。就是凭着这样一种坚定的信念，我已熟练掌握储蓄、会计、计划、信用卡、个贷等业务，成为XX行业务的行家里手。

记得，刚进XX行，为了尽快掌握XX行业务，我每天都提前一个多小时到岗，练习点钞、打算盘、储蓄业务，虽然那时住处离工作单位要坐车1个多小时，但我每天都风雨无阻，特别是冬天，冰天雪地，怕挤不上车，我常常要提前两、三个小时上班，就是那时起我养成了早到单位的习惯，现在每天都是第一个到行里，先打扫卫生，再看看业务书或准备准备一天的工作，也是这个习惯，给了我充足的时间学习到更多的业务知识，为我几年来工作的顺利开展打下了良好的基础。

我工作过的岗位大部分在前台，为了能更好的服务客户，针对不同层次、不同需求的客户，我给予不同的帮助和服务，记得有一位第一次到我行客户，当我了解到他要贷款买二手房时，由于他不知该怎么办，只是有个想法，我便详细地向他介绍了个贷的所有手续。除了在服务客户上我尽心尽力，在行里组织的各项活动中我也积极响应，经常参加单位组织的各项竞赛，展示自我，并取得了优异的成绩，受到了单位的嘉奖。

学习上，自从参加工作以来，我从没有放弃学习理论知识和业务知识。由于我毕业财校属于中专，刚工作我就利用业余时间自学大专，并于xx年毕业，但我没有满足于现状，又于xx年自修东北大学金融本科，由于学习勤奋刻苦，成绩优良，学习中受到老师充分肯定，目前正在积极准备论文答辩。不但掌握和提高了金融知识，也有了一定的理论水平，完全达到了本科生所具有的水准。学习理论的同时，更加钻研业务，把学到的金融知识融会到工作中去，使业务水平不断提高，并于xx年参加全国中级经济师资格考试，顺利通过同时被行里聘为中级师。在多年的业务知识考核当中，每次会计业务资格考试都达到1级水平。

最后，我想说的是，上面只是我工作中取得的一点成绩，这与单位的领导和同事们的帮助是分不开的。我始终坚信一句话“一根火柴再亮，也只有豆大的光。但倘若用一根火柴去点燃一堆火柴，则会熊熊燃烧”。我希望用我亮丽的青春，去点燃周围每个人的激情，感召激励着同事们一起为我们的事业奉献、进取、立功、建业……

Dear Santa Claus:

Howdy!Arrive the Christmas festival soon again, did you want to" go to

work" again?Would you still ride the floret deer trailer to come this time?

Can you arrive at my bed front?Do you put previous lists to line up the dry

skates in the socks, like?I liked it too, putting on it many cool!

Can you arrive at the kid sister younger sisters bed front?Sing a lullaby

for her at the time of she cry, coax her to enter the beautiful dream country

quickly and quickly.

You can stop in the sky, to a peaceful seed?The people of now needed it

too, for the sake of these the innocent peoples, letting them feel the

sweet.

Santa Claus, you which the gift that come?You are how can anyone know the

尊敬的贵公司领导：

您好!首先感谢您给我这次难得的机遇，请您在百忙之中抽出一点时间，以平和的心态来看完这封求职介绍信。

其实，只想报着一种平静而真诚的心情，把这看作是交流和沟通的平台。真的，这可能是我人生中又一转折，至少会是人生中一次不一般的经历。

首先，我想表明一下个人的工作态度。也可能是阅历的浅薄吧。一直到现在我都固执地认为：我的工作就是一种学习的过程，能够在工作中不断地汲取知识。当然，钱很重要，不过对我来说，充实而快乐的感觉就是最大的满足了!

如果非要推销自己的话，我想个人的生活经历让己自考虑问题更细致一些。第一，从17岁开始，一直独自一人在外生活，自理能力不成问题。第二，整个学习过程让我有一种紧迫感，危机感。第三，从我的专业来讲，我们学的是乳品专业，在乳品方面有一定的了解，为了能够提高我们的适应能力学校也曾组织多次的实践活动为我们踏入社会打下了基础。但无论从哪方面来说，锻炼价值都是相当大的。在工作中，一直是严格要求自己，做到了"三心"，即细心，耐心，恒心;"二意"，即诚意，真意。

当然，自己也并不是具备什么压倒性的优势，甚至从某种程度来说，优势即是劣势，虽然还没有正式的踏入这个行业里，也不知道未来会有多少难题!可不管怎么说，只要兴趣所在，心志所向，我想这些都是完全可以克服的。

最后，恭祝贵公司事业蒸蒸日上，祝您作工顺利!请予以考虑我这个新手。愿与贵公司携手共筑美好未来!为盼!

尊敬的__经理：

您好!

我是湖南交通职业技术学院的一名学生，是今年的一名应届毕业生，读的是物流专业，得知贵公司正在招聘一批销售人员的消息，我特意写了这封求职信，希望可以到贵公司面试。

在高中的时候我的口才一直都挺好，人际关系也不错，非常懂得处理人与人的关系。打暑假工的时候，面对陌生人的时候，我能很好的处理好我们的关系，所以到哪里我的人际关系都挺好。为我应聘贵公司的这一职位增加了几分信心。销售也是与人打交道，需要很好的耐心，耐力，勇气，口才。所以我坚信我能成功。

大学我学的是物流专业，但这并不影响我对销售的热爱，我感觉我做销售我会特别认真对待，兴趣是最好的老师，在学习期间我也学过一点点心理学，我相信这对我以后的销售之路会有帮助的。

最后，我相信自己可以成为一名出色的销售人员，希望经理看完这封求职信后能够给我一次面试的机会。

最后，感谢经理读完了我的这封求职信，真心希望可以到公司工作，完成我的销售梦。

敬礼!

Dear Mum,

Hello!

After school at noon today, I quarreled with you on my way home. Why do you

suppose I quarrelled with you? Thats because you said a sentence that makes me

very angry, which is: "Mr. Lin sent text messages to criticize you today."

Because you said a lie, let me very angry, it is because of your words, I give

nasty! Usually you say me, I have no complaint. But todays you why want to give

me so big fire! Are you scolding me, scolding me, or beating me because your

shop is not doing well? Or because you read the text message of my

misunderstanding. I know you dont mean it, but just speak to me when you have

something to say, and dont be so cross when you talk to me. I think you do not

understand the meaning of the teacher said, I now come to tell you what the

teachers words mean! In fact, the teachers meaning is very simple: the teacher

told us in the morning: "Yesterday only Wei Yujie revised all the diary, while

others only modified a part, did not completely correct." The words "one person"

in the teachers text message refer to Wei Yujie, and "others" refer to everyone

in our class (except Wei). In this way, it is easy to understand: everyone in

the class (except Wei Yujie) must finish revising all the diaries this

weekend.

But it was also my fault, because I did not explain myself clearly to you,

and it was your misunderstanding of me. So here I want to say to you: "Mom,

Sorry!"

I wish you:

youth

Santa Claus:

Hello!

I was a very bookish fourth grader, and Christmas was coming, so what I

wanted this time: a big pile of books.

I was a smart, reading kid who was consistently in the top ten of my class.

Books were my best friend. Remember once, I ordered the second class did not

carefully look, my mother asked me the content, ask three Do not know. Just for

that one time, my mother let me promise: after all bought a book, must carefully

read, or from now on do not buy a book, until finished reading. So, I look

carefully every time, also tell the content to my mother to listen. Now, I have

finished reading the book is a hill, mother ready to throw, But I think of one

thing: "the book is so good, we can donate to the poor mountain! As expected,

this year, we launched a book donation activity, I did not hesitate to donate 5

books!

Santa Claus, for I love such a book of children, you can send me a book? I

will watch it carefully. Thank you so much!

Wish you a long and healthy life!

圣诞老爷爷：

您好!

我是个非常爱读书的四年级孩子，圣诞节来临，所以我这次想要的礼物：一堆厚厚的书。

我是个聪明的、会读书的小孩，成绩一直在班上前十名，书是我最好的朋友。记得有一次，我订的《第二课堂》没有认真仔细看，妈妈问我内容，一问三不知。就为了那一次，妈妈让我保证：以后凡是买了书，就一定要认真看完，不然从此以后都不买书，直到看完为止。于是，我每次都认真的看，还把内容讲给妈妈听。现在，我看完的书已经是一座小山了，妈妈准备扔时，我却想起一件事：“这书还这么好，我们可以捐给贫困山区呀!”果然不出我所料，这一年里，我们开展了捐书活动，我毫不犹豫地捐了5本!

圣诞老爷爷，对于我这么一个爱书的小朋友，您可以送我书吗?我一定会认真看的。谢谢您!

祝健康长寿!

Dear Sir：

Four years as a senior clerk in sales department of the New World Products com#pany have, I believe,given me the experience to qualify for the job you advertised in Thursdays newspaper.

Since 1981 I have been responsible for all office details in the administration of sales, including writing much of the correspondence. In the course of my work, I have becom#e familiar with the various sales territories, and have also in my spare time experience of handling business problems other than my proper sphere.

The years before I was employed at the New World, I was a secretary for Long Brother, an accounting firm. There I became familiar with accounting terms and procedures.

I was graduated at Wah Yan College, in June 1974. I am twenty-five years of age and single.

I am leaving my present position because I can use my capabilities more fully in a position with wider scope. Mypresent employer knows of my ambition and is helping me to find a new place.

May I see you at your office to tell you more about myself and show you just how well I can do the work you require.

Yours faithfully,

dear chen lin and li hua,

i’ve just been out of hospital for a couple of days. right now ，i am really fine, but without your support, i wouldn’t have got better so soon.

you know, the traffic accident gave me a very hard blow, both physically and mentally. in the first two weeks after my injury, i almost lost my confidence in my future life. it is the doctors’and your encouragement that rendered me much strength and determination。

anyway, i learned a lot from this unfortunate accident. i’d neverrealize how important your friendship was to me. i can’t say anymore to show my gratitude for your taking turns keeping me company,and getting me through the blue time.

next saturday, my mother would give a recovery party to thank myfriends. i really want to see you there. so, 7 o’clock at my place,ok?

your truly,

li ming

my dearest mother，

the mother‘s day is coming and i would like to say “happy mother’s day” in

this letter. i love you and thank you so much for everything you did for me.

this day，i will stay away and can‘t give you my appreciation at home. i know i

will watch myself，so don’t worry about me. i am doing very well on my study. my

schoolmates and teachers are all very nice. though i can‘t be at home， i hope

you have a wonderful mother’s day.love，

your son

尊敬的各位领导、各位评委:

大家好!

我叫xxx，今年xx岁，中专学历，中共福建省委党校大专在读。我1990年参加工作，曾先后在梁平工行屏锦储蓄所、七简桥分理处、双桂分理处、石马路分理处、梁山分理处、人民南路分理处等处工作，现为双桂路分理处主任。工作中，我总是兢兢业业、勤勤恳恳，并认真完成领导安排的每一项工作。我的努力没有白费，我分理处于2005年被评为支行先进集体，并于2006、2007连续两年代表支行参加万州业务竞赛取得第三名;我个人也多次被评为"支行先进员工"。

此次参与竞聘，我认为我有以下几点优势和有利条件:

一是具有比较全面的专业理论知识。

多年的金融生涯，系统的学习和实践，以及当前在读的经济管理专业。使我具有了多学科的专业知识结构，比较全面地了解和掌握了经济、金融、法律知识，熟悉银行相关业务的操作流程，对新知识、新业务的认知和接受理解力较强。这些为我继续做好下一步工作提供了可靠的保障。

二是具有比较丰富的银行工作经验。

入行十几年来我先后从事过会计、出纳、综合柜员、分理处主任等工作。在每个岗位上我都取得了较好的成绩，并解决和处理过许多业务与管理难题，无论是在柜台服务、业务办理，还是在组织管理、协调服务、办公室后勤管理方面都积累了比较丰富的经验。

三是具有较强的组织、沟通、协调及管理能力。

20xx年至今我担任过多个分理处的主任，在这些岗位上锻炼了我协调、组织、沟通与管理能力。使自己初步具备了一个领导所应该具备的基本素质。就沟通组织协调管理能力而言，我可能还算是一块可造之材。

Dear Mr. Wang,

Thank you for taking the time to write your wonderful letter in support of MCEA (Maywood Chinese Education Association). Your letter clearly articulates all the major reasons children in Maywood will benefit from studying the Chinese language as part of their elementary school education. It provides invaluable support that will help making bilingual Chinese education a reality in Maywood public schools.

Although MCEA would like to see Palo Alto public schools implement the first bilingual Chinese kindergarten class in September of 2006, we have learned that the school district must take the time to understand how a new program will affect existing educational offerings, and to validate community interest. Nevertheless, MCEA, with more than 70 members, will continue to actively promote bilingual Chinese education in the Palo Alto public schools and will keep you apprised of the progress we make.

Thanks again for sending a letter in support of MCEA. We will continue to do all we can to realize this program both for families of Chinese descent and those with a general interest in participating in the growing economic power of China.

Yours sincerely,

George Chen

李开复是商界的杰出人才，有才有德。让我们来看看他写给女儿的信吧。

李开复给女儿的信：你该如何度过大学生涯

Dear Daughter:

亲爱的女儿：

As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.

当我们开车驶出哥伦比亚大学的时候，我想写一封信给你，告诉你盘旋在我脑中的想法。

First, I want to tell you how proud we are. Getting into Columbia is a real testament of what a great well-rounded student you are. Your academic, artistic, and social skills have truly blossomed in the last few years. Whether it is getting the highest grade in Calculus, completing your elegant fashion design, successfully selling your painted running shoes, or becoming one of the top orators in Model United Nations, you have become a talented and accomplished young woman. You should be as proud of yourself as we are.

首先，我想告诉你我们为你感到特别骄傲。进入哥伦比亚大学证明你是一个全面发展的优秀学生，你的学业、艺术和社交技能最近都有卓越的表现，无论是你在微积分上得了最高分，完成自己典雅的时尚的设计，成功卖出绘制的跑鞋，还是在“模拟联合国”演说中成为表现最突出的人之一，你毫无疑问已经是一个多才多艺的女孩。你的父母为你感到骄傲，你也应该像我们一样为自己感到自豪。

I will always remember the first moment I held you in my arms. I felt a tingling sensation that directly touched my heart. It was an intoxicating feeling I will always have. It must be that "father-daughter connection" which will bind us for life. I will always remember singing you lullaby while I rocked you to sleep. When I put you down, it was always with both relief (she finally fell asleep!) and regret (wishing I could hold you longer). And I will always remember taking you to the playground, and watching you having so much fun. You were so cute and adorable, and that is why everybody loved you so.

我会永远记得第一次将你抱在臂弯的那一刻，一种新鲜激动的感觉瞬间触动了我的心，那是一种永远让我陶醉的感觉，就是那种将我们的一生都联结在一起的“父女情结”。我也常常想起我唱着催眠曲轻摇你入睡，当我把你放下的时候，常常觉得既解脱又惋惜，一方面我想，她终于睡着了!另一方面，我又多么希望自己可以多抱你一会儿。我还记得带你到运动场，看着你玩得那么开心，你是那样可爱，所有人都非常爱你。

You have been a great kid ever since you were born, always quiet, empathetic, attentive, and well-mannered. You were three when we built our house. I remember you quietly followed us every weekend for more than ten hours a day to get building supplies. You put up with that boring period without a fuss, happily ate hamburgers every meal in the car, sang with Barney until you fell asleep. When you went to Sunday Chinese school, you studied hard even though it was no fun for you. I cannot believe how lucky we are as parents to have a daughter like you.

你不但长得可爱，而且是个特别乖巧的孩子。你从不吵闹、为人着想，既听话又有礼貌。当你三岁我们建房子的时候，每个周末十多个小时你都静静地跟着我们去运建筑材料，三餐在车上吃着汉堡，唱着儿歌，唱累了就睡觉，一点都不娇气不抱怨。你去上周日的中文学习班时，尽管一点也不觉得有趣，却依然很努力。我们做父母的能有像你这样的女儿真的感到非常幸运。

You have been an excellent elder sister. Even though you two had your share of fights, the last few years you have become best friends. Your sister loves you so much, and she loves to make you laugh. She looks up to you, and sees you as her role model. As you saw when we departed, she misses you so much. And I know that you miss her just as much. There is nothing like family, and other than your parents, your sister is the one person who you can trust and confide in. She will be the one to take care of you, and the one you must take care of. There is nothing we wish more than that your sisterhood will continue to bond as you grow older, and that you will take care of each other throughout your lives. For the next four years, do have a short video chat with her every few days, and do email her when you have a chance.

你也是个很好的姐姐。虽然你们姐妹以前也会打架，但是长大后，你们真的成为了好朋友。妹妹很爱你，很喜欢逗你笑，她把你当成她的榜样看待。我们开车离开哥大后，她非常想你，我知道你也很想她。世界上最宝贵的就是家人。和父母一样，妹妹就是你最可以信任的人。随着年龄的增长，你们姐妹之间的情谊不变，你们互相照应，彼此关心，这就是我最希望见到的事情了。在你的大学四年，有空时你一定要常常跟妹妹视频聊聊天，写写电子邮件。

College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. You often question "what good is this course". I encourage you to be inquisitive, but I also want to tell you: "Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten." What I mean by that is the materials taught isnt as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is about – this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isnt critical for your life, the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever.

大学将是你人生最重要的时光，在大学里你会发现学习的真谛。你以前经常会问到 “这个课程有什么用”，这是个好问题，但是我希望你理解：“教育的真谛就是当你忘记一切所学到的东西之后所剩下的东西。”我的意思是，最重要的不是你学到的具体的知识，而是你学习新事物和解决新问题的能力。这才是大学学习的真正意义——这将是你从被动学习转向自主学习的阶段，之后你会变成一个很好的自学者。所以，即便你所学的不是生活里所急需的，也要认真看待大学里的每一门功课，就算学习的技能你会忘记，学习的能力是你将受用终身的。

Do not fall into the trap of dogma. There is no single simple answer to any question. Remember during your high school debate class, I always asked you to take on the side that you dont believe in? I did that for a reason -- things rarely "black and white", and there are always many ways to look at a problem. You will become a better problem solver if you recognized that. This is called "critical thinking", and it is the most important thinking skill you need for your life. This also means you need to become tolerant and supportive of others. I will always remember when I went to my Ph.D. advisor and proposed a new thesis topic. He said "I dont agree with you, but Ill support you." After the years, I have learned this isnt just flexibility, it is encouragement of critical thinking, and an empowering style of leadership, and it has become a part of me. I hope it will become a part of you too.

不要被教条所束缚，任何问题都没有一个唯一的简单的答案。还记得当我帮助你高中的辩论课程时，我总是让你站在你不认可的那一方来辩论吗?我这么做的理由就是希望你能够理解：看待一个问题不应该非黑即白，而是有很多方法和角度。当你意识到这点的时候，你就会成为一个很好的解决问题者。这就是“批判的思维”——你的一生都会需要的最重要的思考方式，这也意味着你还需要包容和支持不同于你的其他观点。我永远记得我去找我的博士导师提出了一个新论题，他告诉我：“我不同意你，但我支持你。”多年后，我认识到这不仅仅是包容，而是一种批判式思考，更是令人折服的领导风格，现在这也变成了我的一部分。我希望这也能成为你的一部分。

Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Dont be trapped in what others think or say. Steve Jobs says when you are in college, your passion will create many dots, and later in your life you will connect them. In his great speech given at Stanford commencement, he gave the great example where he took calligraphy, and a decade later, it became the basis of the beautiful Macintosh fonts, which later ignited desktop publishing, and brought wonderful tools like Microsoft Word to our lives. His expedition into calligraphy was a dot, and the Macintosh became the connecting line. So dont worry too much about what job you will have, and dont be too utilitarian, and if you like Japanese or Korean, go for it, even if your dad thinks "its not useful" : ) Enjoy picking your dots, and be assured one day you will find your calling, and connect a beautiful curve through the dots.

在大学里你要追随自己的激情和兴趣，选你感兴趣的课程，不要困扰于别人怎么说或怎么想。史蒂夫•乔布斯曾经说过，在大学里你的热情会创造出很多点，在你随后的生命中你会把这些点串联起来。在他著名的斯坦福毕业典礼演讲中，他举了一个很好的例子：他在大学里修了看似毫无用处的书法，而十年后，这成了苹果Macintosh里漂亮字库的基础，而因为Macintosh有这么好的字库，才带来了桌面出版和今天的办公软件(例如微软Office)。他对书法的探索就是一个点，而苹果Macintosh把多个点联结成了一条线。所以不要太担心将来你要做什么样的工作，也不要太急功近利。假如你喜欢日语或韩语，就去学吧，即使你爸爸曾认为那没什么用：)尽兴地选择你的点吧，要有信念有一天机缘来临时，你会找到自己的人生使命，画出一条美丽的曲线。

Do your best in classes, but dont let pressure get to you. Your mother and I have no expectations for your grades. If you graduate and learn something in your four years, we would feel happy. Your Columbia degree will take you far, even if you dont graduate with honors. So please dont give yourself pressure. During your last few months in high school, you were so happy because there was little pressure and college applications are finished. But in the past few weeks, we saw you are beginning to worry (did you know you bite your nails when you are nervous?). Please dont be worried. The only thing that matters is that you learned. The only metric you should use is that you tried. Grades are just silly letters that give the vain people something to brag, and the lazy people something to fear. You are too good to be either.

在功课上要尽力，但不要给自己太多压力。你妈妈和我在成绩上对你没什么要求，只要你能顺利毕业并在这四年里学到了些东西，我们就会很高兴了。即便你毕业时没有获得优异的成绩，你的哥伦比亚学位也将带你走得很远。所以别给自己压力。在你高中生活的最后几个月，因为压力比较小，大学申请也结束了，你过得很开心，但是在最近的几个星期，你好像开始紧张起来。(你注意到你紧张时会咬指甲吗?)千万别担心，最重要的是你在学习，你需要的唯一衡量是你的努力程度。成绩只不过是虚荣的人用以吹嘘和慵懒的人所恐惧的无聊数字而已，而你既不虚荣也不慵懒。

Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life, because during college you are closer to them physically than to your family. Also, going through independence and adulthood is a natural bonding experience. Pick a few friends and become really close to them – pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you. Dont worry about their hobbies, grades, looks, or even personalities. You have developed some real friendships in high school in your last two years, so trust your instinct, and make new friends. You are a genuine and sincere person – anyone would enjoy being your friend, so be confident, outgoing, and pro-active. If you think you like someone, tell her. You have very little to lose. Give people the benefit of the doubt; dont stereotype and be forgiving. People are not perfect, so as long as they are genuine and sincere, trust them and be good to them. They will give back. This is my secret of success – that I am genuine with people and trust them (unless they do something to lose my trust). Some people tell me that occasionally I would be taken advantage of. They are right, but I can tell you that that loss is nothing compared to what I gained. In my last 18 years leading people, I have realized that only one thing matters – to gain the trust and respect of others, and to do so, you need to trust and respect others first. Whether it is for management, work, or friendship, this is something you should ponder.

最重要的是在大学里你要交一些朋友，快乐生活。大学的朋友往往是生命中最好的朋友，因为在大学里你和朋友能够近距离交往。另外，在一块儿成长，一起独立，很自然地你们就会紧紧地系在一起，成为密友。你应该挑选一些真诚诚恳的朋友，跟他们亲近，别在乎他们的爱好、成绩、外表甚至性格。你在高中的最后两年已经交到了一些真正的朋友，所以尽可以相信自己的直觉，再交一些新朋友吧。你是一个真诚的人，任何人都会喜欢跟你做朋友的，所以要自信、外向、主动一点，如果你喜欢某人，就告诉她，就算她拒绝了，你也没有损失什么。以最大的善意去对人，不要有成见，要宽容。人无完人，只要他们很真诚，就信任他们，对他们友善。他们将给你相同的回报，这是我成功的秘密——我以诚待人，信任他人(除非他们做了失信于我的事)。有人告诉这样有时我会被占便宜，他们是对的，但是我可以告诉你：以诚待人让我得到的远远超过我失去的。在我做管理的18年里，我学到一件很重要的事——要想得到他人的信任和尊重，只有先去信任和尊重他人。无论是管理、工作、交友，这点都值得你参考。

Do keep your high school friends, and stay connected to them, but do not use them as substitutes for college friendship, and do not spend too much time with them, because that would eat into your time to make new friends.

要和你高中时代的朋友保持联系，但是不要用他们来取代大学的友谊，也不要把全部的时间都花在老朋友身上，因为那样你就会失去交新朋友的机会了。

Start planning for your summers early – what would you like to do? Where would you like to live? What would you like to learn? What have you learned in college that might change your mind? I think your plan of studying fashion is good, and you should decide where you want to be, and get into the right courses. We of course hope you come back to Beijing, but you should go where you think is best for you.

你还要早点开始规划你的暑假——你想做什么?你想呆在哪儿?你想学点什么?你在大学里学习是否会让你有新的打算?我觉得你学习艺术设计的计划很不错，你应该想好你该去哪儿学习相应的课程。我们当然希望你回到北京，但是最终的决定是你的。

Whether it is summer-planning, or coursework planning, or picking a major, or managing your time, you should take control of your life. In the past, I have helped you quite a bit, whether it is in college application, designing your extracurricular activities, or picking the initial coursework. I will always be there for you, but the time has come for you to be in the drivers seat – this is your life, and you need to be in control. I will always remember the exhilarating feeling in my life – that I got to decide to skip kindergarten, that I got to decide to change to computer science major, that I got to decide to leave academia for Apple, that I got to decide to go to China, that I got to decide to go to Google, and most recently, that I got to decide to start my own business. Being able to decide means you get to live the life that you want to. Life is too short to live the life others do or others want you. Being in control feels great. Try it, and youll love it!

不管是暑假计划，功课规划，抑或是选专业，管理时间，你都应该负责你的人生。过去不管是申请学校、设计课外活动或者选择最初的课程，我都从旁帮助了你不少。以后，我仍然会一直站你身旁，但是现在是你自己掌舵的时候了。我常常记起我生命中那些令人振奋的时刻——在幼儿园决定跳级，决定转到计算机科学专业，决定离开学术界选择Apple，决定回中国，决定选择Google，乃至最近选择创办我的新公司。有能力进行选择意味着你会过上自己想要的生活。生命太短暂了，你不能过别人想要你过的生活。掌控自己的生命是很棒的感觉，试试吧，你会爱上它的!

I told your mom Im writing this letter, and asked what she wanted me to say. She thought and said: "just ask her to take care of herself." Simple but deeply caring – that is how your mother is, and that is why you love her so much. In this simple sentence is her hope that you will become independent in the way you take care of yourself – that you will remember to take your medicine, that you will get enough sleep, that you will have a balanced diet, that you will get some exercise, and that you will go see a doctor whenever you dont feel good. An ancient Chinese proverb says that the most important thing to be nice to your parents is to take care of yourself. This is because your parents love you so much, and that if you are well, they will have comfort. You will understand this one day when you become a mother. But in the meantime, please listen to your mother and take care of yourself.

我告诉你妈妈我在写这封信，问她有什么想对你说的，她想了想，说“让她好好照顾自己”，很简单却饱含着真切的关心——这一向是你深爱的妈妈的特点。这短短的一句话，是她想提醒你很多事情，比如要记得自己按时吃药，好好睡觉，保持健康的饮食，适量运动，不舒服的时候要去看医生等等。中国有句古语，说“身体发肤，受之父母，不敢毁伤，孝之始也”。这句话的意思用比较新的方法诠释就是说：父母最爱的就是你，所以照顾好自己就是孝顺最好的方法。当你成为母亲的那天，你就会理解这些。在那天之前，听妈妈的，你一定要好好照顾自己。

College is the four years where you have:

•the greatest amount of free time

大学是你自由时间最多的四年。

•the first chance to be independent

大学是你第一次学会独立的四年。

•the most flexibility to change

大学是可塑性最强的四年。

•the lowest risk for making mistakes

大学是犯错代价最低的四年。

So please treasure your college years – make the best of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, evolve yourself into a bi-cultural talent, be bold to experiment, learn and grow through your successes and challenges.

所以，珍惜你的大学时光吧，好好利用你的空闲时间，成为掌握自己命运的独立思考者，发展自己的多元化才能，大胆地去尝试，通过不断的成功和挑战来学习和成长，成为融汇中西的人才。

When I faced the greatest challenge and opportunity in my life in 2005, you gave me a big hug and said "bonne chance", which means "good luck" and "good courage". Now I do the same for you. Bonne chance, my angel and princess. May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life, and may you blossom into just what you dream to be.

当我在2005年面对人生最大的挑战时，你给了我大大的拥抱，还跟我说了一句法语“bonne chance”。这句话代表“祝你勇敢，祝你好运!”现在，我也想跟你说同样的话，bonne chance，我的天使和公主，希望哥伦比亚成为你一生中最快乐的四年，希望你成为你梦想成为的人!

Love,

爱你的，

Dad (& Mom)

爸爸(和妈妈)
