空屋？凶屋？

提起水坝，人们脑海中可能会出现很多宏伟的大坝建筑： When you think of DAMS, you probably think of a lot of grand dam buildings:
比如：美国的胡佛水坝和中国的三峡大坝等。For example, the Hoover Dam in the United States and the Three Gorges Dam in China.
它们的建筑材料是：土石或钢筋水泥。Their construction material is: earth stone or reinforced cement.
在山东省临沂市，我见到了一个另类的水坝：用橡胶材料建造的。因为建坝地址的原始村名叫“小埠东（bù dōng）”，所以叫“小埠东橡胶坝。” In Linyi, Shandong Province, I saw a different kind of dam: it was made of rubber material. The native village where the dam is built is named “xiǎo bù dōng”, so that is the reason.

Part 1 of 5. 

Inside a dusty workroom, an old craftsman held up a chess piece to the window. He rotated it in the sunlight and inspected its every detail. 

“Perfection,” said the craftsman. 

He added it to the set he had been building. Sixteen grey pieces sat on his worktable, all handmade and almost ready for sale. 

The craftsman felt very satisfied with his designs. He was ready for the final stage of the process. He picked up one of the pawn pieces and said, “What about you, my little friend? What colour would you like to be?” 

He reached for his paint brush, dunked it into glass of water and then into a container of paint. The grey pawn received a heavy coating of shiny white paint.

Fast-forward several years into the future. After repeated use and abuse, that little pawn’s proud white colour had faded. Areas of his original grey were visible. Because of this, whenever players assembled their chess set, they left this little grey-white pawn to the side. 

“Uhm, is that yours or mine?” said the white player. 

“It doesn’t matter. Put it back in the box and choose from the others,” said the black player. 

This little plastic pawn’s name was Gary.

Habit stacking is a technique where you link a new habit or task to an existing one so it's easier to form. 

To prepare for an interview, start small by reviewing your resume after breakfast each day.

Then, build on that by following it with researching common interview questions while you commute. 

Next, add practicing answers aloud in your car or on a walk. 

Gradually increase difficulty by recording mock interviews on your phone and reviewing where you can improve. 

Soon, your routine will be: 

breakfast > resume review > research questions > practice answers > mock interview. 

Then, take it a step further. After work, fit in calling contacts for referrals during your regular exercise. 

Follow exercise with reviewing your networking and researching the company more in-depth. 
Right before bed, update your notes so it's fresh in your mind. 

Within a few weeks, all these small, connected habits will have you fully prepared without much effort since it's just an extension of your daily routine. 

Habit stacking makes interview prep seamless and ensures you put your best foot forward on the big day!
