After graduate and then go to work, you will encounter so many meetings. As we all have the same feeling during the meeting, it is boring. Especially the meeting has below characteristics:
當畢業參加工作以后，我們就會遭遇各種各樣的會議。每個人都會感覺到有時開會是如此的無聊，尤其是當會議有以下特點的時候：
1. Long time, more than 2 hours. 時間太長，超過2個小時。
2. No discussion and involvement, only one or two-person play.沒有討論和需要你參與的地方，只有一兩個人在大放厥詞。
3. The topic is none of your business. Or only very small issues to ask you.話題和你沒有什么關系。或者只有一點小問題要問你。
4. You were questioned during the meeting without any preparation.在你沒有準備的時候，會議上被問了問題。（這是什么鬼？）
So, rather than waste time in the meeting room, how can we do for that? 所以，為了不在會議室里浪費我們的時間，我們該如何做？
Know the meeting type. 了解會議的類型。
There are two main meeting types.主要有兩種會議的類型。
Information share meeting. 信息分享會議
This kind of meeting mainly share some information, which no need you to discuss or not expect you have any questions. The guy who own the meeting occupy almost all the meeting time. 此類會議主要是分享一些信息或者說是決定，并不需要你來討論或者根本不希望你提出什么問題。會議組織者會占用全部的會議時間。
Discussion meeting. 討論型會議。
The meeting mainly let the team to discuss one or some topics, and want to get result such as actions plan or decisions. 討論型的會議主要是讓大家討論一個或者多個話題，并希望得到諸如行動計劃或者是決定等的結果。
Prepare well for the meeting. 做好會議準備。
If it is information share meeting, you just need to prepare your notebook and brain. That is enough for it, but remember you can use it well during the meeting. That means you need record the main ideas or items on your notebook and when there is something unclear, raise your hand for answer. That is something like learning process, and if do as you do in the school, for sure you can learn something. The owner have to answer your question, if not, they will say, that is a good question, I will answer you later. 如果是信息分享型的會議，你只需要準備好你的筆記本和大腦。這些就足夠了，但是記得要在會議中用到他們。也就是說你需要在筆記本上記錄下來主要的觀點或者是條款，而且當有問題不清楚時，舉手提問。這就像你在學校中所做的那樣，把它看做一個學習的過程你就會學習到一些東西。當然會議組織者不得不回答你的問題，如果他們也沒有準備好，他們會說，這個問題很好，我會等下兒回答你。
If it is discussion, then makes it more complex. It should divide into several parts according to your own role in the discussion. 如果是討論型會議，準備工作就有些復雜了。需要看你在你會議中的角色是什么。
You play major role in the topic. So, you need very well preparation before the meeting. Include but not limitedto: 如果你是討論話題的主角，那么你需要對會議做充分的準備。包括但不限于：
1. Data. This is obviously you need to know in advance. 數據。顯而易見是你必須要提前準備的。
2. Your standpoint. It is better you already have some pre-conclusion, you can also proof it by collecting more data. 你的立場。好的辦法是你已經預先與其他人討論過，這樣你就可以提前證明你的判斷，或者是需要在會議前收集更多的數據。
3. Answers for potential challenge. In case of someone challenge you, you should prepare well for that. It most probably that your answer will affect another person of department, so for sure you need think about questions from their position or standpoints. 對于潛在挑戰的答案。為了防止有人來挑戰你（當然這有可能不可避免），你需要預先準備好。很有可能你的答案會影響到他人或部門的利益，所以在會議前最好換位思考一下他們的想法和立場。
You are only part of the topic.To save your time, it is better answer the questions before the meeting together with the meeting holder. After providing related data, maybe it is no need for you to join the meeting. But, if the holder thinks that there are discussions you need to join, then make sure you know the meeting schedule to know which part you should join, and join 5 minutes before to save your owntime. 如果你只是參與討論話題的一部分，為了節省你的時間，最好開會之前就與會議組織者溝通他所想要知道的答案。當你提供了相關的數據答案之后，也許你就不用參加會議了。但是，如果組織者認為會議的討論你需要參加，那么你最好了解下會議的具體日程安排，那樣你就可以在你需要參加的時間之前5分鐘走入會場了。
Play active during the meeting. 積極參加會議。
You are not willing to fall in sleep during meeting, the leader thinks same. 你也不想再開會時睡著，領導也是這么想的。
If you are the meeting holder, take more care for those big bosses who will give a long speech during your meeting. Timely stop them friendly by saying, boss, we have limited time to discuss this topic, shall we go on for next step? Or, use the methodology of brainstorming, give limited time, such as 5 minutes for each one, and then people have express their ideas in turn. That is a good way for preventing other guys fall in asleep in the meeting.如果你是會議組織者，你需要特別關注那些大老板們，因為他們的長篇大論會毀了你的會議。及時而友好的制止他，老板，你看，我們開會時間就這么多，你看我們是否進行下一步了？或者，使用頭腦風暴的做法，先就限定時間，每個人發言5分鐘，然后讓大家依次發言。這樣，來防止大家在參加你的會議時睡著。
If you join others meeting, make sure you can join in the discussion topic and express your idea. Once the holder want to finish the discussion and you are not speak yet, please raise your hand to say, hi, I have something to say before wrapping up. 如果你參加別人的會議，請確保你可以參與討論并且表達觀點。當組織者已經要結束會議，而你還沒有說話，請舉手，嗨！我還有話要說呢！
After thinking about above items, you will save the meeting time but add more actions before the meeting. As we all know that we don’t want the boring meeting, so it is better we do more to avoid that. And that is the way to make the meeting more effective and short. 當你思考過以上問題之后，準備會議的時間就會多于開會的時間。我們大家都不想開無聊的會議，最好沒有。但當你準備好了之后，會議就變得簡潔和高效。
So let’s keep the focus on the preparation, data analysis and know the situation of discussion, that will be better for saving more time of the meeting and do more things in your work. 所以，歸根到底我們還是要關注會議的準備，包括數據分析，話題的討論等，這終將會節省出寶貴的時間用于工作而不是會議。
Even I coming to like meetings during work, maybe you don't believe, but, nothing is impossible!
也許你不相信，我甚至已經喜歡上了開會，No Zuo No Die?!，不！是一切皆有可能！
