Greetings, and welcome back!
They can be big, mid-size, or one-man operations; headquartered in gleaming skyscrapers or in the garage out back; highly diversified or intensely specialized. But all businesses share at least one very important thing - they're built on dreams and hope and on the promise of incandescent success!
Let's look this week at some other characteristics many businesses - and the people who work there - share!
- To be conservative is to be slow to accept change, preferring older, more traditional ideas to newer ones.
- conservative とは、新しい考え方よりも古い伝統的な考え方を好み、なかなか変化を受け入れない、つまり、保守的な、という意味です。
- I used to work for a very conservative company, so it's a nice change to work for a company that encourages innovation.
- (to a female employee about to leave on a business trip)
The country is rather conservative, so wear a long skirt or slacks and long sleeves, and be careful what you say. - He's gotten into a lot of hot water with people at the office over his conservative views.
- The company's conservative approach to growth has served it well over the years. Even during economic downturns, it has never found itself overextended financially.
Enjoy the day!
