20來歲的你也許還沒明白的20件事
You Should Be Getting Your Butt Kicked Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada would be the most valuable boss you could possibly have. This is the most impressionable, malleable and formative stage of your professional career. Working for someone that demands excellence and pushes your limits every day will build the most solid foundation for your ongoing professional success.
你應該被不斷督促梅麗爾-斯特里普在電影《穿普拉達的女王》中扮演的角色，堪稱你可能碰到的最有價值的老板。這是你的職業生涯中最易受影響，最具可塑性，最易定型的時期。有一位要求員工精益求精，每天都在推動你超越自我的老板，將為你在專業領域的持續成功打下最堅實的基礎。
A New Job a Year Isnt a Good Thing-- 1-year stints dont tell me that youre so talented that you keep outgrowing your company. It tells me that you dont have the discipline to see your own learning curve through to completion. It takes about 2-3 years to master any new critical skill, give yourself at least that much time before you jump ship. Otherwise your resume reads as a series of red flags on why not to be hired.
一年換一個工作不是好事一年的工作時間不會證明，你才華過人，公司已經無法滿足你的發展需要了。它只會表明，你缺乏完成自身學習曲線所需的紀律性。掌握任何新的關鍵技能都需要大約2-3年，在你跳槽前，你至少需要給自己這么長時間。否則的話，你的簡歷讀起來就像是一系列關于你為什么不能被錄用的警告信號。
People Matter More Than Perks Its so trendy to pick the company that offers the most flex time, unlimited meals, company massages, game rooms and team outings. Those should all matter, but not as much as the character of your founders and managers. Great leaders will mentor you and will be a loyal source of employment long after youve left. Make a conscious bet on the folks youre going to work for and your commitment to them will pay off much more than those fluffy perks.
人比福利待遇更重要年輕人非常熱衷于挑選那些提供最富彈性的工作時間、數不勝數的飯局、按摩服務、娛樂室和集體出游等福利的公司。這些福利待遇當然應該考慮，但其重要性遠不及公司創始人和管理者的品質。卓越的領導者將指導你，即便你離職很長時間之后，他們也將成為一個可靠的就業源頭。有意識地把你的前程壓在那些你打算為之工作的人身上，這種忠誠帶來的回報將遠遠超過那些華而不實的福利待遇。
Map Effort to Your Professional Gain Youre going to be asked to do things you dont like to do. Keep your eye on the prize. Connect what youre doing today, with where you want to be tomorrow. That should be all the incentive you need. If you cant map your future success to your current responsibilities, then its time to find a new opportunity.
把今日之努力反映在明日的回報上你將被要求做一些你不喜歡做的事情。請把注意力放在獎賞上面。把你今天正在做的事情，與你明天希望獲取的成就聯系起來。這應該是你所需要的全部激勵。如果你無法將未來的成功與當下的責任關聯在一起，那么就到了找尋新機遇的時候了。
Speak Up, Not Out Were raising a generation of sh-t talkers. In your workplace this is a cancer. If you have issues with management, culture or your role responsibilities, SPEAK UP. Dont take those complaints and trash-talk the company or co-workers on lunch breaks and anonymous chat boards. If you can effectively communicate what needs to be improved, you have the ability to shape your surroundings and professional destiny.
暢所欲言，不要竊竊私語我們正在養育一代喋喋不休的碎嘴子。在你的工作場所，這是一種癌癥。如果你對管理層、公司文化或者你的角色和職責有意見，那就暢所欲言。不要把這些埋怨，以及那些關于公司或同事的垃圾談論拿到午休時間和匿名聊天室去說。如果你能夠就需要改善的地方進行有效的交流溝通，你就有能力塑造你的環境和自身職業生涯的命運。
You Need At Least 3 Professional Mentors The most guaranteed path to success is to emulate those whove achieved what you seek. You should always have at least 3 people you call mentors who are where you want to be. Their free guidance and counsel will be the most priceless gift you can receive.
你需要至少三位專業導師最有保證的成功之路，是效仿那些已經取得了你所期望的成績的人。自始至終，你都應該至少認識三位你可以尊稱為導師，已經抵達你希翼的高度的人。他們的免費指導和忠告，將是你能夠收到的最無價的禮物。
Pick an Idol Act As If You may not know what to do, but your professional idol does. I often coach my employees to pick the businessperson they most admire, and act as if. If you were (fill in the blank) how would he or she carry themselves, make decisions, organize his/her day, accomplish goals? Youve got to fake it until you make it, so its better to fake it as the most accomplished person you could imagine.
挑選一個偶像，并用心模仿你或許不知道應該怎么做，但你的職業偶像知道。我經常教導我的員工去挑選一位他們欽佩的商業人士，并模仿他或她行事。如果你是某某人(請任意填空)，那你就想象一下他或她將如何做事，如何決策，如何安排一天的工作，并最終實現目標。你需要假裝自己就是你的偶像，直至你真正實現你的夢想。所以，你最好挑選一位你能夠想象的最有成就的人，然后假裝自己是他/她。
Read More Books, Less Tweets/Texts Your generation consumes information in headlines and 140 characters: all breadth and no depth. Creativity, thoughtfulness and thinking skills are freed when youre forced to read a full book cover to cover. All the keys to your future success, lay in the past experience of others. Make sure to read a book a month (fiction or non-fiction) and your career will blossom.
多讀書，少發微博/短信你們這一代人通過報紙頭條和140個字符獲取信息，這些信息源無所不包，但缺乏深度。當你不得不一頁不漏地讀完一本書的時候，你的創造力、思想深度和思維能力都將被釋放出來。你未來成功的關鍵在于，你是否汲取了其他人過往的經驗。每個月務必讀一本書(小說或非小說)，你就將擁有一個無比燦爛的職業生涯。
Spend 25% Less Than You Make When your material needs meet or exceed your income, youre sabotaging your ability to really make it big. Dont shackle yourself with golden handcuffs (a fancy car or an expensive apartment). Be willing and able to take 20% less in the short term, if it could mean 200% more earning potential. Youre nothing more than penny wise and pound-foolish if you pass up an amazing new career opportunity to keep an extra little bit of income. No matter how much money you make, spend 25% less to support your life. Its a guaranteed formula to be less stressed and to always have the flexibility to pursue your dreams.
花的比掙的少25%當你的物質需求達到或超過你的收入時，你實際上是在破壞你真正實現成功的能力。不要給自己套上一副金手銬(購買一輛豪車或一套昂貴的公寓)。在短期內愿意并且能夠減少20%的花費，有可能讓你未來的收入增加200%。如果你為了保持額外多那么一點點的收入而錯過了一個極好的工作機會，那么你就跟那些撿了芝麻，丟了西瓜的人沒有多大區別。無論你現在掙多少錢，請減少25%的開銷。這樣做的話，你的壓力將大大減少，而且會始終具備追尋夢想的靈活性。
Your Reputation is Priceless, Dont Damage It Over time, your reputation is the most valuable currency you have in business. Its the invisible key that either opens or closes doors of professional opportunity. Especially in an age where everything is forever recorded and accessible, your reputation has to be guarded like the most sacred treasure. Its the one item that, once lost, you can never get back.
你的名聲是無價的，不要損壞它久而久之，你的聲譽將是你在職場上最有價值的通行證。它是一把無形的鑰匙，會打開或關閉職業機會的大門。尤其是在這樣一個一切信息都被永遠地記錄下來，任何人都可獲取各種信息的時代，你的聲譽猶如最神圣的寶藏，你必須全力捍衛。你一旦失去它，就永遠無法找回。
Time is Not a Limitless Commodity I so rarely find young professionals that have a heightened sense of urgency to get to the next level. In our 20s we think we have all the time in the world to A) figure it out and B) get what we want. Time is the only treasure we start off with in abundance, and can never get back. Make the most of the opportunities you have today, because there will be a time when you have no more of it.
時間不是一件無限供給的商品我很少發現年輕的專業人士具有那種要達到下一個高度而產生的高度緊迫感。當我們20多歲的時候，我們一天到晚都想A)搞清楚某件事情，B)獲得我們想要的結果。剛邁入職場之際，時間是我們擁有的唯一一筆充裕，但永遠也不會失而復得的財富。最大限度地利用你今天擁有的機會，因為時間并不是一件你可以用之不盡的商品。
