ear STC Family,
Welcome home!
I am so happy and grateful that we have lived and enjoyed another wonderful year together. Although there were challenges and difficult times, but by working together, we have made it through as a Team and have come out even stronger and better. Over the years, we have grown through sharing and learning of many things in our lives, but most importantly, we have become healthier, wiser and more receptive to loving people around us. Let us celebrate together tonight of all the things we have accomplished and look forward to the arrival of another great year. I love all of you! :) 親愛的STC家人們， 歡迎回家！ 很高興和感謝我們又度過了這美好的一年。雖然充滿了挑戰和困難，但經過大家共同的努力，使這一年讓我們成為更強和 更好的團隊。多年來，我們通過分享和學習快速的成長，但最重要的是，我們變得更健康，更明智，以及更容易接受和愛 我們周圍的人。今晚讓我們一起慶祝我們共同完成的事，並期待著快樂的明年到來。 我愛你們！
Sincerely,

May I help you？” 兩人電話筒傳來傳去，誰也不敢講，稍微聰明一點的阿呆趕緊假裝昏倒， 阿瓜只好硬著頭皮ㄏㄨㄟ常努力地用英文ㄙㄨㄛ： “One car come, one car go! One car no ‘ba’, one car no stop! Two car ‘long-ga-bin-biang-gyo’(台語). Please O-E O-E come!”

Solution Center | Property Management Division
By Benjamin Chen and Chih Wang
16
Property Management is not only limited to fixing broken pipes or roof leaks.
It has a broader scope than what you might imagine. Can you list several other values that property managers can bring to your properties? Think of property management as a solution center, and you might come up with lots of creative answers. We as property managers, we have to:
Understand owner’s objective
We need to fully understand what owner’s objectives for the property are. This is the foundation of all decisions making and planning.
Plan & Set Goal
The owner’s objectives will help us with planning and goal setting. We will use our professional skill to achieve the best financial/ physical result for the property. This will increase the physical value and immeasurable value that people has toward the property.
Continuously Learn & Educate
Continue learning is always our motto! By continuously learning, we are able to improve our services all the time. At the same time, we will pass our knowledge to owners and tenants to better understand the financial, leasing, management, and maintenances issues related to your property.
Listen & Communicate
We understand we all have different thoughts when we are in different positions. That is why we are here to listen and act as a liaison between different parties to achieve the best results!
曾經
，有人對物業管理的們定義為 “漏水了找他們” 、 “冷氣壞了找他們”、在解釋下去就會聽到 “反正就是什麼壞了都找他 們” 。說得沒有錯，這些東西壞掉是需要找我們，但是針對物業管理的團隊所扮演的角色您只了解到冰山一角。您可以想出幾個管理團 隊所創造出的價值呢？提示: 管理團隊所扮演的是一個Solution Center! 以下讓我們簡單的為您介紹:
深度了解、設定目標
所有投資標地物，我們首先了解持有人的目的及目標，因為這是一切的基礎
細心規劃、創造價值
當我們了解標地物的目標的同時，我們將會在於情、於法、與理中找出一個平衡點。用我們的專業創造出有形、無形的價值!
持續學習、教育大眾
我們持續努力的補充專業知識，親力親為，才能將財務、租賃、管理、維修等專業知識簡單化的讓您了解!
耐心聆聽、溝通橋樑
我們深深了解每個人在不同的位置會有不同的想法，我們具備耐心聆聽的特 質，在多方溝通協調中扮演絕佳的角色!

Supporting Center | Accounting Division
By Tina Young
As the saying goes: “Follow The Money!”.
It is critical for any organization to keep track of finances. STC Management is no different. Accounting department at STC provides critical support to internal as well as external users. From the perspective of STC Accounting, the “organization” to be supported comprises many components. Hence, one can view the Accounting Department to function as a support center of STC Management, serving directly and indirectly its internal departments (e.g., management, leasing, investment and marketing departments – internal users) and its family of business associates (owners, HOA Boards, etc. – external users). STC Accounting is responsible for performing at least five essential functions for its internal and external users, including
Recording – to record financial transaction (includes billing, collection, payment and journals posting) in an orderly manner. Classifying – to classify financial transactions (includes billing, collection, payment and journals posting) by the nature
of the
transactions.
Summarizing – to summarize financial data in a way that is understandable and useful to the users. Analysis and Interpretation – to analyze and interpret the recorded financial data in a manner
that facilitate users to make a
meaningful judgments about the financial condition.
Communication – to communicate financial data in a proper form and manner through preparation and distribution. As our users have grown to be accustomed to, STC Accounting timely gathers financial information concerning the properties STC manages, does its magic and provides our users with reliable, accurate and timely financial reports. The financial reports are the tools they need to make meaningful judgments and decisions on the finances of their organizations. From time to time, some of our external users even relied on us to provide accounting functions for their organizations. As much as we like to help our external users, we are not in a position to be involved with their internal accounting. 2011 has been a challenging year for some of STC’s business associates. Through working closely together, as a team, we were able to deliver value to our associates, supporting their business growth. We firmly believe the sound accounting infrastructure established by STC Accounting will continue to provide valuable support to our users through 2012 and beyond!

Creation Center | Leasing Division
By Justin Tsai and Kathy Tung

Leasing Division
is known as the Creation Center here at STC. Through an array of interconnected networks and strategies, we seek to bring in the right prospects and structure sustainable leases, ultimately creating new asset values with improved tenancy. The creation process relies heavily on momentum, where a critical mass needs to be achieved and maintained through the lifecycle of the asset. The matrix of divisions, or “centers” – starting, creation, solution, and support – will need to work hand-in-hand to realize the full potential of the asset.

Value-Add Center | Marketing Division
Would
you eat a steak if the steak has no flavor? Marketing is that flavor. It is also the blow horn that lets your neighbors know you have a very tasty steak, and the aroma that draws your neighbors to jump over the fence because they want to taste your steak. It is the color that makes your neighbors’ mouths water when they see your steak, and what makes your neighbor willing to dig deep in their wallets so they can get their hand on your steak. It is the secret ingredient that makes your steak desirable, because we know that’s exactly what your neighbors want! The steak is done. Now, bon appetit!

Starting Center | Investment Division
By Dalerie Wu and Jessica Barajas
All
investments begin with the purchase of an asset, hence we call STC’s Investment Division the “Starting Center”. A good start is key to a successful investment. At STC Management, we ensure that each commercial real estate purchase has undergone rigorous research and analysis, assuring that it has the potential and a great likelihood of becoming a highly profitable asset. However, as we know from the story of “The Tortoise and the Hare”, a good start alone does not guarantee success. Therefore, we utilize Management (“Solution Center”), Accounting (“Supporting Center”), Leasing (“Creation Center”) and Marketing (“Value-add Center”) to increase the value of each investment. When the value of a commercial real estate investment reaches a peak, we sell the asset and use the proceeds to invest in the next potential asset, thus starting the cycle over again.

踮腳尖-簡單保健養生長壽法 踮腳尖的確是個不錯的有氧運動，它不僅能使人的心率保持在每分鐘150次左右，讓血液可以供給心肌足夠的氧氣，有益於人的心臟、心 血管健康，還能鍛煉小腿肌肉和腳踝，防止靜脈曲張，增強踝關節的穩定性。最重要的是，它可以避免損傷膝蓋，這對很多膝關節不是 很好的老年人來說，是個不錯的鍛煉方法。 踮腳尖走路：每次走30—50步，稍稍休息一下，然後根據自己的身體狀況再重複幾組。速度可自我調節，以感覺舒適輕鬆為宜。初始練 習者可以扶著牆，熟練以後就不用借助外物了。 坐著踮腳尖：膝蓋與大腿保持水準，可將兩個礦泉水瓶或者寵物放在大腿上，進行負重練習，每次踮30—50次，速度自我調節。 躺著勾腳尖：臥床休息時，兩腿併攏伸直，將腳尖一勾一放，可以兩腳一起做，也可進行單腳練習。如果感覺小腿不舒服，就停下來休 息。每次做20-30次，速度自我調節。 踮腳尖刷牙：因為，當人感到疲倦想睡覺時，嘴裡就會發粘，這時若刷牙漱口清潔口腔，便可以發揮醒腦功效，使人精神倍增。刷牙時 最好以腳尖支撐身體，如果能順便洗一下臉，則更有助消除睡意。 常見的方法是雙足併攏著地，用力抬起腳跟，然後放鬆，重複20-30次。別看方法簡單，可健身效果不錯。踮起腳尖時，雙側小腿後部 肌肉每次收縮時擠壓出的血液量，大致相當於心臟脈搏排血量。所以，當你下棋、打牌、玩電腦或久立不動時，最好1小時左右做1次踮 腳運動，可使下肢血液回流順暢。而且，踮腳運動還可以活動四肢和頭腦，消除長時間用腦集中及突然站立而眼前發黑、頭腦發暈的毛 病。 還要說的是踮腳走路，就是足跟提起完全用足尖走路，行走百步。可以鍛煉屈肌。從經絡角度看，還有利於通暢足三陰經。足跟走路就 是把足尖翹起來，用足跟走路，這樣是練小腿前側的伸肌，行百步，可以疏通足三陽經。兩者交替進行可以祛病強身。當然，對於老年 人則應注意安全，以免站立不穩而摔倒。患有較嚴重的骨質疏鬆症的人最好不做。 另外，解小便雖是小事，也不可掉以輕心。男性踮起腳尖小便，則可起到強腎 的作用，因而能連帶達到強精的效果。女性坐蹲的同時，把第一腳趾和第二腳 趾用力著地，踮一踮，抖一抖，也可起到補腎利尿的效果。倘若能在一天內做 上五次這樣的踮腳尖運動，連續1-6個月，便能達到很好的強精又健身的作用。 同時。亦可緩解因長時間站立而導致的足跟痛。若患有慢性前列腺炎及前列腺 肥大，小便時踮腳亦有尿暢之感

提 筆前都沒有意識到原來我們和STC還存在著合作的關係，但是相對於john和他的家人以及STC的部份成員而言，我們的感情早已超越了 合作的關係。 所以如果說談談和STC的合作關係，倒不如讓大家了解一下作為我們武術學院團隊眼中的STC負責人John 許。 在我們武術學院團隊眼中，John是我們中華武術學院名符其實的創辦人之一。沒有他的幫助和支持，可能此時還見不到屬於我們的武術 學院。再接下來除了武術教學以外，很多圍繞在武術學院的工作John都在帶頭做或者參予在其中。 身為STC的領導者的他每天都有很多事情協調和處理。但是在繁忙的工作中還能夠如此盡心盡力來幫助我們武術學院，這些真的讓我們很 感動很溫暖,而作為合作關係的STC所做到的也遠遠超出了他們的責任範圍。 和STC的合作倒是更像是在為我們的團體尋找樂趣，比如2010年的羅蘭崗市遊行、pathfinder公園表演、10月份蒙市升旗典禮以及今年10月 22日的羅蘭崗花車遊行，STC和我們武術學院，以及馬淑芬老師的舞蹈社同一家人般的同進同出，並且快樂的完成了每一次活動。 也就是這樣一個積極負責、平易近人的STC領導者，讓我們為他的人格魅力所吸引，讓我們用心的去支持他，因為我們知道，他心裡放著 我們大家 。

“緣”使我們相識， “愛”使我們相聚。
舞印舞蹈中心 暨 舞印製作 Dance Impressions Productions 藝術總監: 馬淑芬 Artistic Director: Anne Ma
我是一個很相信緣份的人，總覺得人與人之間因緣而識，因愛而聚， 但若緣盡了，也無份了。因這奇妙的“緣” ，也使得我的人生當中 遇到了許許多多不同種類的人；除了家人、至親好友以外，還有 我所教導的寶貝學生們；能在這麼多年的舞蹈教學生涯中，認識 到那麼多的學生及家長們，這是不可多得的緣；但天下無不散的宴 席，曲終人也會散；無論學了再久的舞，當了再久的師生，緣盡了還 是會離開。但中國人又有句話說的好〝一日為師，終身為父母〞，就 不知有多少現代年青人能懂這個道理了，但就算離開了，〝再見亦是 朋友〞。
Dance Impressions, Dance Impressions Productions & Lan Ling Dance Studio was founded in the autumn of 1994, under the artistic direction of Anne Ma. Dance Impressions & Lan Ling Dance Studio’s aim is to promote the art of Chinese folk dance and motivate the younger generation to better understand Chinese heritage.

STC墨西哥之旅 By J.C. Guo
23 2011年7月8日在這天又迎來了STC資產管理公司每年一度公司之 旅， 與以往歷年不同的是今年我們別出新意——選擇大海，踏 入了異鄉， 在駛往墨西哥（恩塞納達）的郵輪上開始了我們的行 程。 登船的這一天，汽車剛拐進港口，一條碩大的遊輪出現在眼前， 就像一棟高樓大廈直立在海面上，興奮之情悠然升起。經過了海 關移民局的檢查，我們這個大家庭便順利地登上了郵輪CARNIVAL SPLENDOR號來盡情的享受這不同尋常的旅途。
我們聚集在CARNIVAL SPLENDOR號的大戲院內，一 同欣賞另人心情愉快的歌舞表演，大家陶醉於動 人的舞蹈與美妙的音樂之中，它彷彿將我們帶到 另外一個美妙世界當中。每個人都從緊張忙碌的 生活和工作中擺脫出來，沒有人群的喧囂，家庭 的瑣事，工作的壓力，放下一切，敞開心扉，全 然的放鬆。
我們在甲板上，三五成群的圍坐在小桌旁，在星空和海風的伴隨下， 彼此親切的交談著，暢聊彼此的愛好， 不同尋常的經歷，耐人尋味的 故事，讓人發笑的趣聞。你一言我一語，好不熱鬧，每個人好像比以往 都更加有趣，更加睿智。

24 來到墨西哥的恩塞納達的小鎮，我們一群人一同走在街道上，在這裡感受 著異國的風土文化，人文氣息。雖然那時Melody行走暫時不方便，可是還 是行動在一起，看著各式各樣不同的物品，品嚐各式的美食，遊走於各個 店鋪之間。不禁讓我想到《相親相愛》這首歌中的一句歌詞：“ 因為我 們是一家人，相親相愛的一家人。有福必然同享，有難必然同當……”
為了我們的身體的健康，為了使我們的體力和精力更加 充沛，跳舞和打功夫是我們STC的兩項必不可少的活動。 即便是在異國它鄉的大海上，也是如此。在REX舞廳裡， 當大家藉著幾分酒意在場上盡情舞動時， John 將我們平 時作為強身健體的太極拳的動作也容入了勁舞當中。只 可惜大家都在興頭上，錯失了留影的機會。筆者也是在 Susan等人的慫恿帶動下第一次跳舞。在這個家庭中我們 有嚴肅認真的一面，又有活力四射的一面，我們喜愛創 新，我們又勇於突破。
當我們再次踏上陸地，我們回家了，一個屬於我 們的家，一個凝聚著我們每一個人的家。這裡充 滿了熱情與活力，友愛與互助，團結與進取。不 論你是誰，不管你身處何處，只要有STC的地方你 就不會感到孤獨與無助——因為這裡有我們。

Health, Love and Wisdom In 2011, our Officer John Hsu asked us to rate the most important things in our lives. Most of our associates chose “Health”, “Love” and “Wisdom”. And the following article, written by our associates, explained their reasons why...... By Beatrice
By Chih
The three most important elements of our lives are love, wisdom and health. Through out our live times we will need “Love” from and to the others to support ourselves and to support the other with our countless love to bring out a better living society. We also need our “Wisdom” to help us and the others to solve all possible problems that we may face in our lives. Last but not least, “Health” the most important elements that we all shall have, without a good health we won’t have the energy to love and support the others as also won’t get a better chance to use our wisdom to achieve our live goals. Therefore, having love wisdom and a good health would help us to achieve a better life journy!
我 相 信每個人對於健康、愛與智慧都有非常不同的見解。隨著年齡 增長與 經 驗 ，心境上更會有不同的體會。從小開始我很慶幸有很多機會可 以親近 許 多 的高僧大德，隨著年紀的增長也培養透過閱讀來增長智慧，希 望能將 這 些 智慧運用在生活上。 對 於 健康，除了身體的健康是非常重要之外，更不能忽視心靈上的 健康。 在 忙 碌的生活中，我們往往容易忘記照顧自己的身體，更容易忘記 照顧自 己 的 內心。我想日常的保健不需要在此深入探討，感謝公司對於團 隊的健 康 如 此重視，但我相信個人的習慣培養才是關鍵，才是長久之計。 畢竟身 體 與 心靈的健康是不可分離的。
心 靈 上的健康、愛及智慧也有很密切的關係，曾經於一場演講中有 驚艷的 體 誤 ，我想是很值得與大家分享的。演說者是一個經過很嚴密的科 學研究 中 證 實為世界上最開心的人，我想大家都會很好奇，怎麼能成為世 界上最 開 心 的人？其實道理很簡單，就是透過認識自己的內心，觀察自己 的的每 一 個 念頭。當有能力靜下心來看每一個念頭的時候，有如溪水往下 流的觀 察 ， 我們就會得到自覺的能力( self-awar eness) 。有這個能力的時候，愛與 智 慧 就會很自然的流露出來。當我們找回自覺能力的時候，我們將 會理解 所 有 的情緒的來源，看著念頭的時候，負面的力量將會漸漸減弱， 我們將 能用更 平 靜 的 心 境 去面 對 。 對 我 來 說 ， 這 是 大 智 慧。當具備智慧的時候，我們更能無私的付出更多的愛、釋放更多的 善意以 及 結 更 多 的 善緣 。 每一個 人 類 ， 甚 至 於動 物 ， 都 想 要 離 苦 得 樂 。 在 這過程我們往往會因為現實的困境而迷失自己的自覺能力，反而使愛 跟快樂 離 我 們 更 遠 。我 很 驚 訝 在 生 活 很 舒 適 的 文 明都市中，不快樂的人反而越來越多。被自己的慾望困住的人更是 佔了多 數 。 更 別 提 給予 愛 給 身 邊 的 人 。 而 我 自 己 也常常不小心成為這樣的一份子，所以我了解理論與實際常常無法並 存，只 能 鼓 勵 並 提 醒著 自 己 。 我深信 有 了 自 覺 的 能力 ， 我 們 將 會 有 更 大 的 同 理 心及慈悲心來看待身邊所發生的事以及所遇到的人。譬如面對心急的 房客， 我 們 該 如 何 能在 當 下 體 誤 他 的 心 情 給 予 適 當的協助及安撫。對於房東的要求，我們能否設身處地的做到協調者 的這個 角 色 。 如 果 沒有 同 理 心 ， 是 很 難 滿 足 我 們 的客群。面對我們一起工作的夥伴，能否用心的去感受每個人的困擾 給予適 當 的 幫 助 。 身為 主 管 ， 是 否 能 有 足 夠 的 胸 襟來帶領團隊。身為老闆，能否了解員工需要的是什麼，要了解許多 人是為 了 填 滿 三 餐 而努 力 工 作 。 這 些 是 大 愛 更 是 大智慧，我相信需要時時提醒著自己， 透過發現問題來找尋智慧才 能不斷 從 生 活 中 的 經歷 來 學 習 、 成 長 以 及 分 享 更 多的愛 。
By Kathy Do you know health and love are connected together for someone’s blood pressure? Health and Love are important key elements for everyone. The answer can be found in the special health report (68 page report) from DHHS, the department of Health and Human Services. In the report that found, in general, married people are happier, live longer, drink less and even have fewer doctors’ appointments than unmarried people. Most studies on the health benefits of love have focused on married couples. The study also published about marriage and blood pressure. The research found that happily married people have lower blood pressure than unmarried people. But unhappily married people have higher blood pressure than both groups. When it comes to blood pressure, at least, you’re probably better off alone than in a troubled marriage. Loving spouses tend to encourage each others; they keep up with healthy behaviors such as exercise and flossing, and dissuade unhealthy ones, such as heavy drinking, according to many studies. Romantic relationships also can provide a sense of meaning and purpose in life that can translate to better self-care and less risk taking. So love may make the world go round, but is it powerful enough to influence one’s health by lower one’s blood pressure, and even reduce one’s depression. My section’s another topic is how love can influence one’s depression.

We are all very familiar and understand how important ‘health’ and ‘love’ to us because we encounter it very often in our life. Since the first second we were born we cried, yet we stopped crying when we laid on our mothers arms. That is our first ‘love’. Wisdom is more abstract to define. Different people, different age may have different conception on ‘wisdom’. The following is story of old man’s wisdom that has been circulated on the internet. I think it is a funny example but it is very true in fact.
Health: A state of complete physical, mental and social well being, and not merely absence of disease or infirmity. Health depends partially on the active, passive, and assisted cues people observe and adopt about their own health. These include personal actions for preventing or minimizing the effects of a disease, usually a chronic condition, through integrative care. Health also depends partially on the social structure of a person’s life. The maintenance of strong social relationships, volunteering, and other social activities have been linked to positive mental health and even increased longevity. Mental health is an expression of emotions and signifies a successful adaptation to a range of demands; it is a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.
You Got Wisdom! A guy is 84 years old and loves to fish. He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say, “Pick me up.” He looked around and couldn’t see anyone. He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again, “Pick me up.” He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog. The man said, “Are you talking to me?” The frog said, “Yes, I ‘ m talking to you. Pick me up then, kiss me and I ‘ ll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen. I ‘ ll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because I will be your bride!” The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front pocket. The frog said, “What, are you nuts? Didn’t you hear what I said? I said ‘kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride.”
Love: Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one. Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude; never selfish, not quick to take offence. Love keeps no score of wrongs; does not gloat over another’s sins, but delights in the truth. There is nothing love cannot face; there is no limit to its faith, its hope, and its endurance. In a word, there are three things that last forever: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of them all is love. – 1 Corinthians 13 Wisdom: Wise people have experienced many different situations during their lives. They may have made a wrong decision and now know what to do if the problem arises again. They may have done the right thing and realize that they should not change anything. Either way, they learned something from the experience. A wise person is able to take that knowledge and apply it to their life. It is used in making decisions of all kinds and helping others with their problems. Wise people have high moral standards. They were raised in a way that their conscience tells them the right thing to do in the majority of situations that occur during the course of their life. Wisdom does not come from just knowing the information that is taught in schools. It is about being able to take that knowledge and use it in the real world.
He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said, “Nah, at my age I’d rather have a talking frog.” By Investment Division 1. Health is the slowest possible rate at which one can die. 2. Love is nature’s way of tricking people into reproducing. 3. Wisdom is knowing what you know, as well as what you don’t know.
By J.C. 人在不知不覺中擁有很多東西，但同時也在不知不覺中失去了很多東西。有些東西可以去換來，有些東西失去了也就失 去了。 比 如 說 智 慧 ，健 康 與 愛 。 說不清哪些東西是最重要的，哪些先，哪些後，但人所記下的每一個字符都是人類所擁有獨一無二的智慧的產物。在生 命的延續中，智慧使人知道了什麼是健康，什麼是愛。愛，健康與人的生活經歷不斷地將人類的智慧昇華，以至於愛心 得以傳播，道德得以肯定，疾病得以醫治，健康得以保持。不同時期，不同的人，智慧也不盡相同。沒有健康的人，他 依舊可以擁有智慧和愛心；沒有愛心的人他也可以聰明絕頂身強體健；但當智慧消失的那一刻，人會知道什麼是健康， 又懂得 什 麼 是 愛 嗎 ？ 孩童並不一定真正明白什麼是健康，青年人多將健康視為拼搏的資本，什麼時候健康才被視為首位了呢？人只有當生病 的時候才知道健康是多麼重要，只有見到不幸的人才明白健康有多麼美好，只有意識到生命的盡頭的時候，才意識到健 康是珍貴到用任何東西都無法換取的。然而人們對保健的意識也與時俱進，與日俱增，憑藉人們的智慧將病患防範於未 然。這 讓 我 不 禁 想 起古 人 曾 說 ， “ 良 醫 者 ， 常 治 無病之病，故無病；聖人者，常治無患之患，故無患”。 《鶡冠子》 中有一個故事：魏文王問名醫扁鵲，你們家兄弟三人，到底哪一位醫術最好呢？扁鵲回答，大哥最好，二哥次之，我最 差。文王問，那為什麼你最出名呢？扁鵲說，我大哥治病，是治病於未發之前。由於一般人不知道他事先能剷除病因， 所以他的名氣無法傳出去。我二哥治病，是治病於初起之時。一般人以為他只能治輕微的小病，所以他的名氣只傳於鄉 里。而 我 治 病 ， 是 在病 情 嚴 重 之 時 ， 所 以 大 家 認 為我的醫術高明，名氣因此響遍全國。 （重病對人的身體有損傷） 健康不 僅 是 身 體 上 的健 康 ， 更 重 要 的 是 心 理 上 的 健康， 若心理上不健康，再強健的體魄也早已敗絮其中。 愛心是人與人相互依賴，相互聯繫，相互信任橋樑和紐帶。愛心伴隨著每一個人從嬰兒落地前到百年之後度過那長而短 的一生。有和父母的愛，親人的愛，朋友的愛，熟人的愛，生人的愛，素不相識的人的愛，動物的愛，花草的愛，及 對生活的愛。愛將不同的人事物連接在一起，再通過人事物將愛傳播出去。去溫暖更多的人，幫助更多的人。什麼是愛 呢？在聖經中有這樣一段話倍感貼切：“愛是恆久忍耐、又有恩慈．愛是不嫉妒．愛是不自誇．不張狂．不作害羞的 事．不求自己的益處．不輕易發怒．不計算人的惡．不喜歡不義．只喜歡真理．凡事包容．凡事相信．凡事盼望．凡事 忍耐． 愛 是 永 不 止 息． ” （ 哥 林 多 前 書 1 3 章 4 － 8 節） 健康需要愛心，因為那是時刻願與人同甘共苦卻常常被忽略的朋友。愛心需要健康，因為這世界需要你我把冷漠變成 愛。智慧卻隨著人的閱歷而不斷增加，將智慧的結晶相聚在一起就產生了人類的文明。願智慧，愛心，健康——你有， 我有他 有 。 By Little John

Education Session at STC Recreation Center
By Yvonne 我記得你讓我們排序的時候,我並沒有把”愛”排到前三名里面,但是現在想想”愛”真的很重要,之前我理解的”愛” 就是愛情,可能太狹隘和幼稚了,仔細想想,“愛”其實才是最重要的,我現在每天都生活在”愛”裡,有家人的”愛”,愛人 的”愛”,同事的”愛”,朋友的”愛”…,這些愛讓我覺得好幸福,我剛來美國不久,要不是這些”愛”,我可能沒有勇氣來到 這裡, 留 在 這 裡 , ” 愛” 不 能 是 生 命 的 全 部 , 但 是 ” 愛”能讓我們忘掉困難, 忘掉艱辛, 有”愛”的陪伴, 一切困難都 很渺小. 還沒來STC我還是個愛玩的學生，晚睡晚起的典型，進了這公司改變了很多，也許是因為工作了不得不早起的原因，後 來慢慢的發現每次你開會的時候都會提倡健康最重要，還在工作時間給我們安排那麼多的課程，讓我漸漸的意識到” 健康”很重要，可能我還沒經歷過一些事，讓我徹底領悟”健康”的重要性，但是在做那個排序的時候我潛意識的選擇 了”健康”在第一位，呵呵，對”健康”的渴望好像是隨著年齡的增長而遞增了，很開心還年輕的我在STC學到了這些。 謝謝！ “智慧”是我一直都想要得到的，我很羨慕有”智慧”的人，所以我很努力的從別人的身上學東西，最近工作中接觸Tina 比較多，我相信她的智慧是她的經驗和閱歷得來的，我很開心能有這樣一個manager教我東西，來到美國遇到好多值得我 學習的 人 ， 希 望 以 後我 的 ” 智 慧 ” 也 讓 別 人 去 羨 慕，去學習。
By Ying 什麼是健康，愛與智慧，說起來很簡單，但卻很深奧，我自己也很多時候是只說卻做不到，只聽卻學不到，只看卻領悟 不到， 也 許 需 要 親 身經 歷 才 能 體 會 其 中 的 奧 妙 。 其實健康是一種生活方式，如果我們能改掉不正常的生活習慣，提高睡眠品質，攝取均衡的飲食，學會多多鍛練身體， 偶爾也發發小脾氣，說說自己的心事，不要太壓抑自己，擁有了健康的基礎，我們才有能力去追求精神上的快樂與幸 福。 世間最近的距離是心與心的距離，只要我們付出了真心就能換來真誠，有時候愛真的很簡單，也許只要一個溫暖的擁 抱，鼓勵的微笑，可是這些小小的主動都是愛的最可貴的品質傳遞，相識是一份難得的際遇，我們應該珍惜彼此能相知 的緣分 ， 讓 我 們 做 一個 有 愛 心 的 人 才 不 會 被 世 界 遺棄。 不管我們對生活有多少的認識，生活仍然是我們最好的導師，因為生 活不會告訴我們對於錯，我們要學會自己認清對錯，有時挫折也許是 一種好事，因為它教會我們如何成長，生活中的歷練與學習都是我們 挖掘智 慧 的 源 泉 ， 有智 慧 的 人 一 定 是 大 智 若 愚 ， 糊塗的精明人。 不苛求 ， 不 奢 求 ， 放飛 自 己 的 心 靈 ， 用 健 康 的 身 心去愛去感受！！！
By Susan 愛 老先生昨晚因嚴重的心臟病而重度昏迷，又喪失了部份知覺，因此當護士告訴他「你兒子在這裡」時，他只看到一個穿 著海軍 陸 戰 隊 制 服 的年 輕 男 子 身 影 ， 站 在 他 的 床 旁邊。 老先生伸出手，年輕的海軍軍人就用他有力的手握住老人軟弱的手，溫柔的握了握。護士拿了張椅子，疲倦的軍人才在 病床邊 坐 下 來 。 整個晚 上 ， 護 士 總 會聽 到 年 輕 人 握 著 老 人 的 手 ， 輕聲的安慰著。就連好幾次護士建議年輕人去休息，就被他拒絕了。 天亮前，老人過逝了。當護士推走老人屍體，處理例行公事時，年輕人也站在一旁看著。護士返回病房想安慰年輕人 時，年 輕 軍 人 先 開 口了 。 「那人 是 誰 ？ 」 他 問。 護士嚇 了 一 跳 ： 「 他是 你 爸 爸 啊 ！ 」 「不是 啊 ！ 」 年 輕 人說 ： 「 我 從 來 沒 見 過 他 。 」 「那我 帶 你 來 見 他 的時 候 ， 你 怎 麼 不 說 ？ 」 「我想是隊上在放我假時出了差錯，因為我們隊上有二個人名字一樣，又從同一個鎮來，編號也差不多，才會誤送我 來。」 年輕人 解 釋 ， 「 但 我知 道 老 人 需 要 兒 子 ， 他 兒 子 又不在這裡，況且他又病的太嚴重而根本認不出我是不是他兒子。」 「當我 發 覺 到 他 有 多麼 需 要 一 個 人 在 他 身 邊 時 ， 我馬上決定留下來了。」 富有不 在 擁 有 多 ， 而在 付 出 多 。 朋 友 ， 不 要 吝 嗇 。 今天就 把 你 的 愛 傳 到各 個 角 落 吧 ！

By James People often seek for meaning in life and that rests mostly on health, love, and wisdom…etc. We all know what those things meant but to understand, pursue, and accomplish things said above is something that people having hard time carry out throughout their lives. In order for us to carry out or to successfully obtain and maintain those things, we must first understand the connection among them. By doing so, it will help us shorten the pursuing time and ultimately lead us to HLW in fastest time. Health is one thing that we all have some degree of control over it. People have been talking about live healthier, eat healthier, grow up healthier..etc. By us recognized our own body and take charge at our health, we then create a positive environment around us. People around us will feel the urgency of being healthy and will soon follow our step. Since we demonstrated a way of taking care of ourselves, it helped people surround us, i.e. our family, to have fewer burdens if one is healthy rather than sick and needed close attention. By taking care of ourselves, we showed our love to our beloved family, friends, and people around us. Love is not only about sacrifice, it is also about share and help. We’ll have to learn how to love ourselves in order for us to love others. Loving people has many routes: listening, sharing, and mirroring…etc but most important of all, love people by being yourself. Love is not supposed to be a burden or stress. Do not try to be someone or something that you are not because love is not about changing oneself, it is about mutual growth and achieve something by joining force and throughout the course will help us gain experience and wisdom. Wisdom can be the hardest thing to obtain since besides schoolwork, people we met throughout our lives has something for us to learn from. We’ll have to adjust us accordingly in order for us to learn. People always say your age reflects your wisdom but if one is too ignorant to accept his fault, he/she will never be a wise person. Thus, in order to obtain wisdom, we’ll have to constantly telling ourselves to be humble, listen to others’ idea and critiques so we can better ourselves. Information and knowledge are learned as you go, sometimes it just cannot be taught. Under this circumstance, having a strong mentality and a humble personality is the key to success. After all, everything is related. By having a healthy life, one gain mental and physical health. With that advantage, one’s friends and family are being loved due to the fact it affected their living style and also relieved some burden and stress in their life. And with a healthy mentality, one is ready for challenges lies ahead of him/her. With humbleness and acceptance built within said healthy mentality; oneself possess the ability to better him/her and in return, gained wisdom.

As I take a moment to reflect on my being here at STC Management, I think of the day I walked in as a temp employee, I just wasn’t sure what to expect about the place and the people that were here everything was so new to me and the language besides English that was being spoken was Chinese, I was wondering how long would they have me here seeing that I don’t speak the language.

But as 1 week turned into 2 and then I meet our boss John Hsu and saw that he was a very humble approachable person and as I thanked him for allowing me to work for his company, he quickly corrected me so kindly and said no, this is our company and we are glad to have you! And getting to know those around me and understanding that the philosophy of our company is more than just a successful and thriving growing company, but that we are all important to its success and that is always reaffirmed by John, but Now that it has been just a few months of me being part of STC, I really believe that it was 緣份 (fate) that brought me here now I am part of this STC family and I am looking towards the future, cause I know it is going to be great! I believe that the best is yet to come and I want to thank our “Boss” I know he never speaks of himself as the boss, but he is one awesome leader that leads the way for us all, I want to thank Susan who really took time to share very inspiring things with me and one the reasons why I’m here and for all the associates that have been so kind and welcoming, my sincere thanks to you all, from my heart.

In
2011, I decided to join STC Management, which gave me the best possible start in the real estate industry, and the experience gives me both practical and useful knowledge to start a career in this industry. Although I have only been working for 3 months, I have gained lots of knowledge in management and investment for different types of property, commercial, residential and HOA. I am blessed to have a great coach who is willing to guide me through challenged tasks.

Christmas
is just around the corner!! Another year just flew away without any warning. In April, I went through a major back surgery that had limited my ability to run or even walk for more than a minute, so I have surgery from L1 to S1, and “YES” no more back pain. That is magical. But in September my beloved Shaolin Weng Chun Sifu Siu passed away and as his first student in US, I have to assume the responsibility and carry out the teaching of the Weng Chun and now we have 3 time more student than last year. Due to currently economic condition, many of our property owners decided to manage the property themselves, but now STC is one step closer from Property Management to Asset Management. Our life is like economy cycle, when it goes down, one day it will come up again, just a matter of timing. If you have patience, everything will be fine and will get better, because now you will have more experience to deal with it. ~ Benjamin Chen, Property Manager

Right now, I still cannot believe that after a 6-hour flight, I found the starting point of my career, the stage of my show, and the home of my new life. It was fate that brought me here.

團隊 Team 2011年 … 當 Susan放 假 休 息 卻 依 然 幫 我 與 房客溝 通 時 ， 當 Benjamin會 議 在 即 卻 依 然 幫 我預估 費 用 時 ， 當 Justin抱 病 在 身 卻 依 然 熬 夜 幫 我確認 數 據 時 ， 當 Jessica和 Minghui饑 腸 轆 轆 卻 依然加 班 陪 我 奮 鬥 時 ， 當 Amy腰 酸 背 痛 卻 堅 坐 電 腦 前 幫我完 善 Presentation時 ， 當馬老 師 和 高 老 師 不 遺 餘 力 教 授我們 舞 蹈 與 太 極 時 ， 當 我 們 的 領 導 John百 忙 之 中 卻 依然抽時間精力給予我最大的 幫助與 支 持 時 … 我深深 地 體 會 到 了 團 隊 的 力 量 以及同 心 協 力 所 能 達 到 的 成 果。 STC所 有 成 員 的 付 出 讓 我 感 動 、 感恩、 詞 窮 … 在這裡 ， 我 最 想 說 的 是 ， 謝 謝 我們可 愛 的 大 家 庭 ！ ~ Dalerie Wu, CCIM Investment Manager
Reflections We
are about to say “goodbye” to an old year that will give way to a new year. 2011 has been filled with changes and challenges that have lead to great opportunities and wonderful blessings. This year, through my hard work and dedication, I was promoted to the STC Investment Division, which has been a whole new learning experience for me. To work in the Investment Division, one needs to be able to communicate effectively, analyze, have self-management and critical thinking skills, research, flexible, prioritize and have decision-making skills, to provide our clients and investors with a high-end service. I am fortunate to have an outstanding and experienced manager who has become more than just a manager. Dalerie Wu is my mentor and guide, who has taken me under her wing. Working along with her has allowed me to improve and develop new and existing skills. We have all had a busy but good year. Throughout the year, we’ve had new projects and deadlines that had to be met. In our division we’ve had hard long working days and sometimes weekends, but even then it’s hard to hate something you’ve learned to like to do even when at times, it has proven to be challenging and overwhelming. At times, I had to face challenges that brought concern and a bit of frustration, but yet I still welcomed the challenge with optimism, and when faced with difficulties, found ways to look at the positive side of things. Support and team work are the secret ingredients. Work has become a second home for me, and my coworkers are not just coworkers they have become people that I can depend on. At the end of the day, it comes down to keeping in mind that regardless of whether other people think I can accomplish something or not, it’s important for me to believe I can. Overall, 2011 delivered! It has been a year of breathing deeply and holding onto the good Team Building Exercise Oct. 28, 2011 Pebble Art Creation

This is what I feel about 2011 and the reflection of STC
2011 was a great year! I was blessed with good health, good friends at work as well as ㄙㄛmy social life. Married life is wonderful, financially...... it could be better. I noticed that STC became more involved than ever before with the community. The community responded favorably by their appreciation in the amount of awards given. Although it was a year of harsh economy for many, STC not only survived but increased their staff. May the year of 2012 be as fruitful as 2011 ~ John Lin, Management Division

Team Building Exercise
Nov. 11, 2011 Win, Lose or Knead Except for the first person, the subsquent person can only interprete the object from the previous person’s clay creation.
2011 is a fulfilling year: Fraud identified; lease signed; experience gained; vacant spaces decreased.
The object evolved through different people’s interpretations: From dog to submarine to hotdog... Original Object: dog
Much appreciated experiences from 2011; Bye bye 2011, hello 2012! ~ James Yuan Management Division
