December 10th, a rainy day, is the annual cadres training day held at Howard Beach Resort Green Bay. The place is very good, but we are unlucky due to the bad weather, and unable to enjoy the beauty of Green Bay.

The training time was increased by half day than it was in the past, and started from 9:30 AM. Firstly, Sales Dept. presented 2012 annual target forecast. From the presentation, we can see the 2012 annual sales amount will grow with 20% increase. After the first section was finished, everybody was heading to hotel restaurant to enjoy delicious lunch, and slightly eliminated the tense atmosphere during the meeting.

The meeting was continued by the annual Goals Report presented by management and production departments. There was a new member from production line, Edison, who made a great efforts to prepare a long report for total 14 pages. However, due to time limitation, he had no choice but to cut his presentation shorter, and reserve some time for Gilbert’s ending speech. Lastly, we were encouraged by Gilbert’s presentation and explanation about OEM contract agreement.

Being tense all day, we went to Emerald restaurant in the hotel for dinner after meeting. We served ourselves for a buffet dinner to refresh from an exhausting day. After meal, we found everybody was gathered around, expecting that there was someone distributing gifts, but, the truth was that everybody was toasting to Edison for his birthday. Afterward, we went to use the hotel facilities.

The next morning, everyone got up early and enjoyed our breakfast inside the hotel. And then went to the next meeting on time. There was a speech given about how to release pressure. Because of the rapid pace in today’s life, everyone feels lots of pressures. Without a healthy body, how can we work hard at work and make our company grow. So, our company invited Mr. Lai Zhi cheng to give a speech teaching us how to release our pressures.

“ To keep you healthy wisely and make an easy nutrition arrangement physically and mentally” . The wisdom of keeping healthy has made it clear how to eat the right food. For example, I originally thought not to eat egg yolk because cholesterol was too high. But Mr. Lai's explained that the nutritional value of the egg yolk was bigger than cholesterol it brought us, so I have to change my dietary habits.

After the speech about health diet, we had gymnastics activities. People said that to live we must move. Mr. Lai taught us to clap, eyes closed, foot stand, and many other sports, it was not so difficult, and free from the restrictions of time and space. Anyone can do it any time. I always made an excuse not to do exercise by saying no time and no site. Now, there was no more excuses.

In the end of the speech, my stomach started to play drums. Time passed by silently, and it was time for lunch. After Gilbert made a conclusion speech and we enjoyed the good lunch. We packed our stuff with full harvest and we looked forward to next cadre training in 2013.
