2、e weekend.人們一生中利用時間最糟糕的莫過于經(jīng)年累月地從事自己完全不 合適的工作?？墒?，有相當(dāng)多的人卻一生都是如此度過的：工作日內(nèi)做 做事，周末找些樂子。in every case, these are men and women with very little future before them.they look upon their jobs as a form of drudgery, a penance they have to pay in order to enjoy the rest of their lives. and because of this attit

3、ude, they will seldom advance or be promoted. they will stay pretty much at the same level, moving from job to job, and always wondering why other people seem to live the "good life" while they feel they are living lives of quiet desperation.從各種情況看，這些人的前途黯淡。他們認(rèn)為自己的工作是沉重的 任務(wù)，是他們?yōu)榱讼硎苡嗌鷮ψ约旱膽土P

4、。正是由于這種態(tài)度，他們很 少會有發(fā)展或得到提升。他們總是在原地踏步，工作換了一個又一個，并老是不明白為什么別人能過上好日子”而他們卻感覺生活在無聲的 絕望之中。people who are not successful and happy in their work are those who have not taken the time to sit down and deal honestly and openly with themselves.they have not looked deep within themselves to recognize the inner tre

5、asures of talent and ability that they have demonstrated throughout their lives.they are content to do work that other people design and to achieve goals that other people set.那些在工作中不成功、不快樂的人，往往沒有踏踏實實坐下來坦誠地認(rèn)識了解自我。他們沒有深刻地審視自己，沒有認(rèn)識到他們生命中展現(xiàn)出的寶貴的才華與能力。他們滿足于從事別人指派的工作，完成別人設(shè)定的目標(biāo)。over time, people who are n

6、ot following their true calling begin to helpless.they feel that there is nothing they can do to change things.their income rises enough only to meet their expenditures and they worry about money much of the time. the future looks to them to be very much the same as the past. but this is not for you

7、!日子一天天過去，由于沒有追隨內(nèi)心真實的呼喚，人們開始感到無助。他們感到自己無能為力，無法改變這一切，他們薪水增長緩慢僅夠維持開銷，大部分時間都是在擔(dān)心錢不夠用。前途對于他們和過去相差無幾，可這悲哀的境遇應(yīng)當(dāng)不屬于你。your aim in life is to become everything you are capable of becoming, to enjoy full self-expression of your talents and abilities.your job is to develop yourself to the point at which every d

8、ay is a source of joy and satisfaction, and you have so many interesting things to do that you do not have enough time to do them.your mission is to continually hold up a mirror to yourself and refuse to work at anything that is not an expression of everything that is good and capable within you.你在生

9、活中的目標(biāo)是將能力發(fā)揮到極致，充分展現(xiàn)自我才華與能 力。你的工作就是不斷完善自己，直至每天都成為你快樂與滿足的源泉， 而你會被許多有趣的事情環(huán)繞以致無暇一一顧及，你的任務(wù)就是手握明鏡照著自己，若任何工作不適合或不能彰顯你的能力，就應(yīng)當(dāng)拒絕。success comes from being excellent at what you do. the market pays excellent rewards only for excellent performance. it pays average rewards for average performance and below avera

10、ge rewards 一 and insecurity 一 for below-average performance.成功來自于出色的工作表現(xiàn)，對于極佳的表現(xiàn)市場會贈與絕佳的報酬，中等的表現(xiàn)只能獲得中等報酬，而低劣的工作只會相應(yīng)地獲得低劣 的報酬甚至有丟掉工作的風(fēng)險。but excellence is a journey, not a destination. you never really get there.you can never relax. the market is always changing, and what constitutes excellence today

11、will be different tomorrow and very different next year and the year after.然而，工作出色是一段旅程而非目的地。你永遠(yuǎn)也不可能真正到達(dá)。因而你永遠(yuǎn)不可以停歇放松，市場在不斷變化，今日能表現(xiàn)出色，明日 也許并不一定，明年乃至后年就更不一定了。all really successful and happy people know in their hearts that they are very good at what they do. if you are doing what you really enjoy or

12、love, if you are following your true calling, you will know because of your attitude you are following your toward excellence.所有真正成功并且快樂的人們從內(nèi)心深處得知自己擅長從事的工 作。如果你從事真正喜歡和熱愛的失業(yè)，如果你追隨了你內(nèi)心真實的呼喚，你就會知道自己是否擅長，就因你出色的態(tài)度。when you find your true calling,you will have a continuous desire to learn more about it. a

13、 person who is not driven to learn more about his field is a person who is in the wrong job.and if a person is in the wrong job and not constantly learning and growing in his or her field,that person's value and his or her employ ability is diminishing with each passing day.一旦你找尋到了內(nèi)心真實的呼喚，你會持續(xù)不斷

14、地去進(jìn)一步了解 它。若一個人沒有動力去更多地了解自己從事的領(lǐng)域，那么他就選錯了職業(yè)。如果他入錯了行又不繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)來增加自己對本行業(yè)的了解，那么他的價值以及被聘用的可能性將與日遞減。when you find your true calling,you will be determined to join the top 10 percent of people in your field. you will be willing to pay any price that is necessary to rise to the top. you will be willing to start

15、work earlier than anyone else,work harder than anyone else,and work later than anyone else.一旦你找尋到了內(nèi)心真實的呼喚，你會決心成為本領(lǐng)域中頂級的 10%里的人物。你會愿意付出人格必要的代價來躋身于頂級人物之列。 你會愿意工作得比任何人都早，比任何人都勤奮，比任何人都工作時間長。a simple test as to whether or not you are in your true calling is this:if you are doing the job that is meant for

16、 you.that uses your unique talents,you will automatically admire those who are at the top of your field. you will look up to them and want to be like them. they will be your role models,and you will pattern your work and activities after them.you will want to meet them, speak with them, read their b

17、ooks, and listen to their talks.the very best people in your chosen field will become the examples that give you guidance,both spoken and unspoken,on your upward journey.一個簡單的測試可以讓那個你了解自己是否真正從事內(nèi)心向往的工作： 若你所從事的工作真是你應(yīng)該從事的，能運用你獨特的才能，你就會不自覺地崇拜那些本領(lǐng)域的頂級任務(wù)。你會想他們看齊，期望有朝一日能成為他們中的一員。他們將成為你行業(yè)的典范人物，在工作和其他事務(wù) 上你會模

18、仿他們。你會希望與他們會面、交談，閱讀他們的著作，聆聽 他們的講話，在你所選定的領(lǐng)域里這些優(yōu)秀的人才將成為楷模，通過言 談和行為，在你奮發(fā)向上的旅途中充當(dāng)你的向?qū)Аhroughout the years, i have been continually asked by people what they can do to be more successful. in almost every case,these people are working in jobs that they don't like,for bosses they don't particularl

19、y respect, producing or selling products or services to customers they don't care about.and many of them think that if they just hang in there long enough,the clouds will part and everything will get better.這些年來，一直有人不斷地問我，要如何才能更成功。很多情況下， 人們從事自己并不喜歡的工作。為自己并不特別尊敬的老板干活，對購買自己產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)的顧客并不在乎。很多人以為只要自己待足

20、夠長時 間，總有一日將云開霧散，情況越來越好。but the fact is that you are where you are and who you are because you have chosen to be better.nobody can help you or change your situation for you.the economic goal of your company is to hire people st the very lowest cost so that they can serve customers at the very lowest

21、cost in a competitive market.for this reason,no one has any obligation to pay you any more than you are getting.if possible, he or she would like to pay you less.但事實確實你會原地踏步，自己沒有任何改觀，因為你選擇如此。 沒有人能幫你改變局勢，你公司的經(jīng)濟(jì)目標(biāo)是以最低廉的成本價格來招 募職員，這樣他們便能在競爭激烈的市場以最低的價格服務(wù)顧客。由于這樣的原因，沒有人有任何義務(wù)支付你更多的薪水，相反，如果可能， 他倒愿意支付得更少些。yo

22、u must become great at doing what you are doing if you want to move up.and if you don't have the inner desire to be great at your job,it means you are probably in the wrong job.如果你想努力向上，你必須在自己的崗位上做得最好。如果你沒有促使你積極工作的內(nèi)資啊動力，這意味著你很可能選錯了職業(yè)。a great tragedy is the number of people who do their jobs in a

23、n average or mediocre fashion and with the idea that when the right job comes along,they will really put their heads down and do a great job.but for some reason,the right job never comes along. they are always passed over for promotion or advancement.they are always the last ones hired and the first

24、 ones laid off.可悲的是，為數(shù)可觀的人們工作平平，卻懷有這樣一種想法：一旦 心儀的工作來臨，他們會全身心撲進(jìn)去，干出一番成績。但由于某些原因，合適的工作永遠(yuǎn)不會降臨。晉升與發(fā)展的機(jī)遇總是與他們擦肩而 過，他們總是受雇的最后人選，解聘的第一人選。if you're still not sure about your true calling,ask the people closest to you,"what do you think i would do the best at in my life?"it is amazing how people around you,including your spouse,your best friends,and your parents,can clearly see what you should be doin
