Pc Principal Quotes

Typickým příkladem bylo připojování tiskáren – kdysi se používalo paralelní rozhraní, známé jako Centronics. V počítačích PC bylo skryté pod označením LPT – starší počítače, ještě tak z roku 2005, ho mají na základní desce, později se už nepoužívalo. Kabely k paralelnímu rozhraní byly tlusté, krátké a drahé. Některé tiskárny proto používaly sériové rozhraní RS-232 což je známý COM port. Takové roz- hraní si v principu vystačí se třemi vodiči: data do zařízení, data ze zařízení a uzemnění. Kabel pro sériové rozhraní mohl mít třeba pět metrů, dražší a kvalitnější i víc. Sériové rozhraní se používá dodneška pro připojení většiny periferních zařízení k počítači. Ne- mýlíte se, známé USB znamená Universal Serial Bus, a je to přesně stejný princip přenosu dat, jen vylepšený tak, aby bylo možno připojit víc zařízení naráz a používat delší kabely.

Basically, there are three kinds of assets: physical, financial, and human. Let’s look at each one in turn. A few years ago, I purchased a physical asset—a power lawnmower. I used it over and over again without doing anything to maintain it. The mower worked well for two seasons, but then it began to break down. When I tried to revive it with service and sharpening, I discovered the engine had lost over half its original power capacity. It was essentially worthless. Had I invested in PC—in preserving and maintaining the asset—I would still be enjoying its P—the mowed lawn. As it was, I had to spend far more time and money replacing the mower than I ever would have spent, had I maintained it. It simply wasn’t effective. In our quest for short-term returns, or results, we often ruin a prized physical asset—a car, a computer, a washer or dryer, even our body or our environment. Keeping P and PC in balance makes a tremendous difference in the effective use of physical assets. It also powerfully impacts the effective use of financial assets. How often do people confuse principal with interest? Have you ever invaded principal to increase

your standard of living, to get more golden eggs? The decreasing principal has decreasing power to produce interest or income. And the dwindling capital becomes smaller and smaller until it no longer supplies even basic needs. Our most important financial asset is our own capacity to earn. If we don’t continually invest in improving our own PC, we severely limit our options. We’re locked into our present situation, running scared of our corporation or our boss’s opinion of us, economically dependent and defensive. Again, it simply isn’t effective. In the human area, the P/PC Balance is equally fundamental, but even more important, because people control physical and financial assets. When two people in a marriage are more concerned about getting the golden eggs, the benefits, than they are in preserving the relationship that makes them possible, they often become insensitive and inconsiderate, neglecting the little kindnesses and courtesies so important to a deep relationship. They begin to use control levers to manipulate each other, to focus on their own needs, to justify their own position and look for evidence to show the wrongness of the other person. The love, the richness, the softness and
