美文欣赏:当你真正爱上工作 成功就不远了

Considering how much time most adults will spend in the workplace over the course of their lives (an estimated 25-30 years), it doesn’t take much of a stretch to surmise a person’s choice of career plays a significant role in their sense of happiness.

想想大多数成年人一辈子要工作多长时间(据估计25-30年),所以不难想象一个人选择的事业对他们的幸福感有多大影响。

I believe a fulfilling career is something you have the power to create, moment by moment, year by year, and decade by decade. Just as success rarely happens overnight, deriving a healthy amount ofsatisfaction from the work that you do requires the right mindset.

我想令人满意的工作会让你时时刻刻、日复一日、年复一年地产生创造力。一夜成名很少见,所以,你需要摆正心态,才能从你所从事的工作中获得足以维持健康的满足感。

I recently read Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. She shares her wisdom regarding the choice each of us has between saying yes or no when inspiration strikes. She writes about clearing out obstacles which are preventing you from living your most creative life, understanding that "whatever is bad for you is probably also bad for your work."

我最近读了伊丽莎白·吉尔伯特的书《大魔术》(Big Magic),她分享了一些关于我们每个人在突发灵感时的明智之选究竟是采纳还是拒绝。她写道,你要清除阻碍你生活充满创造力的障碍,你要明白,“对你没好处的东西可能对你的工作也没有裨益。”

There are so many wonderful truths that she offers, but one of my favorites is found on page 63, where she says: "Work with all of your heart because - I promise - if you show up to work day after day after day after day, you just might get lucky enough some random morning to burst right into bloom."

她给出了这么多绝妙的真理,但我最喜欢的在63页,她说:“你要全身心投入工作,因为我敢保证如果你日复一日不间断地工作,你就能在某一天攒够运气苦尽甘来。”

Here are five of my tips to contemplate as you reach for your goals.

以下是关于追求目标我给出的5条建议。

1. Operate in an area that brings you joy.

从事能给自己带来快乐的领域。

2. Identify your natural strengths.

认清自己的强项。

3. Acknowledge your areas of weakness but don’t let it stop you.

看清自己的弱点,但不要让它拦住你前进的脚步。

4. Establish what is most important to you.

确定什么对你是重要的。

5. Go for it, stick with it, or as my dad always used to remind me to do when I was younger: finish what you start.

努力争取,坚持住,或者像我小时候爸爸经常提醒我的:开始了就不要放弃。

To close with another quote from Elizabeth Gilbert: "Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart."

用伊丽莎白·吉尔伯特的另外一句话作结束语:“把改变你心灵的想法变成现实。”

Loving your work and living a full life requires intention, action, and a good dose of Big Magic!

热爱工作、生活充实都要有目标、有行动、还需要有一点大魔法!
