MEMO OF AN ANSWER TO A STAFF To: Chang Jiahua From: Peng Zhe Subject: Request for Paid Education Leave Date: April 30, 2004 In response to your request for one year of paid education leave to take a degree in literature, I have to inform you that we cannot authorize this leave. While we appreciate your desire to improve your knowledge, we feel that literature is not directly related to your present position and to the goals of this organization. The Personnel Administration Act, Article 26, is very specific and states that "paid education leave must be granted only when the required training is directly related to the job or would facilitated promotion of an employee". I am aware of your great interest in literature, and I would like to point out that you could gain advantage to apply for leave without pay. Furthermore, this branch offers financial help for employees who take evening courses. If you need additional information on the above, do not hesitate to contact me at any time. How long is the paid education leave that Mr. Chang plans to have

We know that, for the most part, the bigger a man’s muscles are, the stronger he is. Can it be considered, then, that the larger the brain a man has, the cleverer he is The answer is no. There are only two animals that have larger brains than man, the whale and the elephant. Yet, according to his size, man’s brain is larger. Man’s brain usually weighs about three pounds or a little more, and this is about one-fortieth of the weight of his whole body. The whale’s body, on the other hand, is a thousand times heavier than its brain, while the elephant’s body is about five hundred times as heavy. But a man who has a large brain is not necessarily cleverer than one whose brain is smaller. We know that geniuses have existed who have had very large brains, but there have been others whose brains were rather small. We do not understand why some people are cleverer than others. Whether our brains are large or small is less important than that we try to do our very best. ______geniuses have very large brains.
