第6章 人在职场(1)

Career Principle

To respect my work, my associates and myself. To be honest and fair with them as I expect them to be honest and fair with me. To be a man whose word carries weight. To be a booster, not a knocker; a pusher, not a kicker; a motor, not a clog.

To base my expectations of reward on a solid foundation of service rendered; to be willing to pay the price of success in honest effort. To look upon my work as opportunity, to be seized with joy and made the most, and not as painful drudgery to be reluctantly endured.

To remember that success lies within myself; in my own brain, my own ambition, my own courage and determination. To expect difficulties and force my way through them, to turn hard experiences into capital for future struggles.

To interest my heart and soul in my work, and aspire to the highest efficiency in the achievement of results. To be patiently receptive of just criticism and profit from its teaching. To treat equals and superiors with respect, and subordinates with kindly encouragement.

To make a study of my business duties; to know my work from the ground up. To mix brains with my efforts and use system and method in all I undertake. To find time to do everything needful by never letting time find me or my subordinates doing nothing. To hoard days as a miser does dollars, to make every hour bring me dividends in specific results accomplished. To steer clear of dissipation and guard my health of body and peace of mind as my most precious stock in trade.

Finally, to take a good grip on the joy of life; to play the game like a gentleman; to fight against nothing so hard as my own weakness, and endeavor to grow in business capacity, and as a man, with the passage of every day of time.

职业信条

尊重我的工作、我的同事和我自己。待之以真诚和公正,因为我也希望他们会这样对待我。做一个一言九鼎的人;做一个支持者而不是一个吹毛求疵者, 一个推动者而不是一个抱怨者,一个马达而不是一个障碍。

先呈现良好的服务,再期待相应的报酬;以诚信换取成功;视工作为机遇,以快乐的心情投入其中,来换取最大的收获,而不是视之为难以忍受的苦 差事。

牢牢铭记于心:成功的关键在于自己,在于自己的智慧,自己的雄心,自己的勇气和决心。对困难有充足的思想准备,努力战胜它们,让艰难的经历 成为未来的竞争资本。

工作的同时别忘了愉悦身心,以最高的效率取得结果。耐心接纳合理的批评,并从中获益。尊重上级,也尊重同事,尊重下属,给予他们亲切的鼓励 。

认真思索自己的工作职责;熟悉自己的工作。对所做的事情尽心尽力、遵循规律。找时间做所有应做的事情,不要让时间来找我或是让自己的下属闲 着无所事事。像吝啬鬼对待金钱那样对待自己的每一天,让自己的每个小时都有所收获,让这些成功带来胜利。避免无谓的体力和精力消耗,身体的健康 和思绪的平静是最宝贵的财富。

最后,享受生命的快乐;在生活的竞赛中保持绅士风度;以最大的勇气和决心克服自己的弱点;我是一个男子汉,随着时间的流逝,我将在工作中学 会成长。

A Few Tips for Job Hunting

Finding your first job can be both a rewarding and frustrating experience.

Many jobs require experience-but how do you get experience when you are still looking for your first job? You may already have some work experience through volunteer work. Assess your skills and interests to determine what kind of skills you"ve had. Even unpaid work experience is beneficial in your job search.

Also, consider internships and parttime work. Not only is it a great way to get experience which you can put on your resume or on a job application, it is also a great way to try out a career to see if it is really what you want to do.

Here"s some tips you may want to follow in your job search:

Involve friends and family. A support group, such as friends and family, will offer encouragement and assistance in your job search.

Allow a reasonable amount of time. Don"t expect to find a job within a few days or weeks.

Devote time to your job search. A thorough job search is hard work. Expect to spend several hours a day looking for a job.

Be organized. Keep a record of all the places you have applied, who you talked to, and what response you received.

Meet with people in the field you are interested in pursuing.

Check job listings in the newspaper classified advertising sections or with your local employment office. Your local employment office also may be able to offer some job search assistance.

求职小贴士

找第一份工作的经历可能既有价值,又令人沮丧。

很多工作都要求有经验--但当你还在找第一份工作时又如何获得经验呢?你可能通过做志愿者工作已经得到一些经验。测定一下你的能力和兴趣来 决定你已经获得哪些技能,即使无偿的工作经历对你的求职也是有利的。

同时,要考虑一下实习和兼职工作。通过这种绝妙的办法,你不仅可以获取经验,以放在简历或工作申请表里,还可以试验一下你是否真的适合这种 职业。

下面是一些在求职过程中你可能要采取的技巧。

求助亲友。一个亲友支持团,会在你求职过程中给你鼓励和帮助。

留出合理的时间。不要期望在几天或者几个星期内就找到一份工作。

专门花些时间在求职上。真正求职是一项很辛苦的任务。每天都要花上几个小时找工作。

要有条理。记住所有你申请工作的地方,你跟谁谈过话以及你收到的答复。

接触那些在你感兴趣的领域工作的人。

查阅报纸上分类广告区的职位列表,或你们当地的职业介绍所。职业介绍所也许会给你提供一些求职协助。

Life Is Up to You

Consider... YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You"re better than one in a million, or a billion, or a 1)gazillion...

You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!!!

You"re amazing! You"re awesome! And by the way, TAG, you"re it. As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don"t become “beautiful” just by virtue of the aging process.

Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today. Paint a Masterpiece.

God gives every bird its food, but he doesn"t throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it"s truly up to you.

生命掌握在你的手里

试想一下……你!一个空前绝后的你,不论是以往还是将来都不会有一个跟你一模一样的人。你在历史上和宇宙中都是独一无二的。哇!想想吧,你 是万里挑一、亿里挑一、兆里挑一的。

在无穷无尽的宇宙中,你是举世无双的!!

你是了不起的!你是卓越的!没错,就是你。你已经是了不起的,是卓越的,你还可以更卓越更了不起。美丽的年轻人是大自然的奇想,而美丽的老 人却是艺术的杰作。但你不会因为年龄的渐长就自然而然地变得“美丽”。

真正的美丽源于生命里的学习、成长和热爱。这就是生命的艺术。你可以只听天由命, 慢慢地学,有时候或许会很痛苦。又或许你可以选择加速自己 的成长,故意地挥霍生活及其提供的一切。你就是手握今日之刷描绘自己未来的艺术家。画出一幅杰作吧!

上帝给了鸟儿食物,但他没有将食物扔到它们的巢里。不管你想要去哪里,不管你想要做什么,真正做决定的还是你自己。

Like Yourself

Do I Need to Like Myself?

Yes! People who don"t like themselves are a pain in the neck!

Usually, people with a poor selfimage use one of two irritating strategies. They either:

a) criticize you a lot or

b) they criticize themselves a lot.

STRATEGY A: They criticize you a lot. They figure that by criticizing other people they can feel better about themselves.

Let"s take Fred, who feels inferior. Fred thinks he has a big nose and piggy eyes. He also secretly feels a bit stupid.
