33、aster is a mix of three traditions: Pagan, Hebrew and Christian. The Pagan part, relates to the Easter Bunny and the Easter egg. The origin of the rabbit icon, or Easter Bunny, comes from the fact that rabbits are notable for their capacity of abundant production of young especially at this time of
34、year. The use of Easter eggs has its roots in the characteristic of eggs laid in great numbers in the spring being colored like rays of the returning sun and the northern lights. There is also a long tradition of decorating Easter eggs and giving them at Easter. As for the Hebrew tradition, Easter j
35、ust happens to fall on the same day as Passover, a traditional Jewish festival.14It was at the feast of the Passover in Jerusalem that Jesus, a Jew, was crucified and rose from the dead.

36、aster as a major feast ranking with Christmas, witness the “hot cross bun“ or boon distributed among the faithful.

40、ue. Do you want to be one of them? So today, we invite Scott Trezise, executive vice president of Human Resources at CenturyLink, to answer the question: Looking back, what advice would you give your younger self about career development? Scott Trezise: The first advice I would give my younger self
41、would be to work hard and to work smart. For generations, people have learned the lesson that good things come to those who work hard, and despite a world that changes faster every day, working hard remains a constant. In todays world, we not only have to work hard, but we also have to work smart. W
42、e need to be able to leverage todays advanced technologies to make ourselves as effective and efficient as possible. To be intellectually curious requires courage courage to distinguish oneself from the masses. My second piece of advice would be to be the one who asks the first question, be the one
43、who challenges the status quo, be the one who volunteers for the toughest assignments, and be the one who has an opinion thats different than others. Courage separates the few from the many. It can be scary, but it can also have a big payoff. Third, I would say to be intellectually curious. Ask ques
44、tions at every opportunity. In most situations, people love being asked questions because it gives them the opportunity to share their perspectives and impress those who are listening. By asking questions, youre not only gaining knowledge, but youre showing those around you that you want to learn. I
45、ntellectual curiosity challenges the status quo and creates a path for things to become bigger, better and faster. Fourth, think analytically: Speak with facts and data. I remember one of my senior leaders telling me, “Scott, you are a great debater, but as long as I am boss, if you have an opinion
46、and I have an opinion, my opinion wins.“ That was a great lesson. Anyone can have an opinion, but its data and facts that carry the most weight. Today, it is the analytical thinker who consolidates the massive amount of available data and synthesizes it into just a few compelling points who wins the
47、 day. Finally, and most importantly, be optimistic. Those who can distinguish themselves by having a can-do attitude are those who grow their careers fastest. Those who believe they can get things done, get things done. Optimism not only breeds better individual results, but it makes all those invol
48、ved more productive. Optimism simply makes work more fun, but the most important aspect of professional optimism is that it ends up bleeding over into ones personal life. More optimism leads to a happier personal life and greater career success. 16. Who is invited to answer the question? 17. By what
