迷茫畢業(yè)生必看：讓夢想照進(jìn)現(xiàn)實

　　在網(wǎng)上有一段很紅的flash叫“理想服務(wù)員”，很多畢業(yè)生看了都特別感觸。的確就像片子里說到的那樣，經(jīng)常都聽到畢業(yè)生說“其實不太喜歡現(xiàn)在的工作”、“我向現(xiàn)實妥協(xié)了”或者“先干著再說吧”……更糟糕的是很多人甚至不知道自己到底想要什么。于是就這么渾渾噩噩地開始工作，夢想在日復(fù)一日的枯燥工作中消失殆盡，等到醒悟、一切都晚了。年輕人到底應(yīng)該重視什么？到底夢想是不是能照進(jìn)現(xiàn)實？下面的文章也許能給你一點啟發(fā)和思路。

　　Imagine a scenario where you actually loved getting up in the morning. I'm not just talking about those occasional weekends or days off where you actually have no plans (or only plans made and loved by you). I'm talking about every single day. Before you scoff at the ridiculousness of such a concept and flick on further down your reader just stop. Indulge me for a moment。

　　想象這樣一個場景：你真正地愛上了在早晨起床。我并不是在說那些你的確沒有計劃的偶然的周末或假日(或是你有制定的喜歡的計劃的日子)。我說的是每一天。讀者們，在你嘲笑這個荒謬的想法，對此不屑一顧前，請停下來，暫且容忍我一下。

　　If I were a genie and could grant you anything you wanted, don't tell me you wouldn't be interested in finding a pastime (career, hobby, part-time adventure) that not only paid the bills but actually made you feel - what's that word? - good. And I'm talking gooooooood. Like so darn happy you smile at strangers on the street, walk with a little bounce in your step, constantly update Facebook with perky little notes, and basically just spend every day feeling like a kid does on Christmas。

　　如果我是一個精靈，能夠給你任何你想要的東西，你肯定會想要一段消遣娛樂的時光(事業(yè)、興趣、過去的奇遇)。在那時光中，你不僅能得到充分享受，并且能使你感覺——那個詞是什么來著？——非常好。我說的是如入天堂般的感覺。就像在街上對著陌生人微笑，走路時輕盈跳躍的步伐，在Facebook上不斷更新著活潑簡短的狀態(tài)，基本就像一個孩子過圣誕節(jié)般過著每一天。

　　Sounds annoying, doesn't it? Unless it's you of course。

　　是不是聽起來特?zé)慨?dāng)然，如果你自己就過著那樣的生活，那就另當(dāng)別論了。

　　So let's assume for starters that you still need regular income. To start with we're going to need this muse of yours (thank-you, Mr. Tim Ferriss ) to occupy only a set amount of time. Perhaps half an hour each day, with weekends off. That's doable, isn't it? Of course I'm talking about a solid 30 minutes committed to changing the way you live your life. All in one block。

　　假設(shè)你是一個需要固定收入的人。怎么開始呢？這就要用到你的理論了，Mr. Tim Ferriss(Tim Ferriss 是美國暢銷書作者，著有The 4-Hour Workweek，大概是講改變生活方式、時間管理一類)，每天只需花一點時間，也許是每天30分鐘，除去周末。這個是可行的對嗎？當(dāng)然我說的是每天必須堅守的30分鐘，用來改變你的生活方式。這樣一切都可以搞定。

　　The idea of introducing part-time passion like this is that it eases you in to the next step. Which is to gradually move you to a point where you are making a living from doing what you love. Where your part-time passion has replaced your full-time job. Sounds good, doesn't it? I managed to do this about 5 years ago. I was in a mid-level management position which I was kinda sick of. Ok, hated. And I was doing some part-time Personal Training before and after work. It took me a full year of being over that job to toss it in and have enough courage to try running a full-time Personal Training business. But at least I got there。

　　像這樣引入“部分時間的激情”的概念是為了讓你更容易進(jìn)入下一步。在下一步，會讓你逐漸轉(zhuǎn)移到做自己喜愛的工作來謀生，并且讓這部分的激情取代你的全職工作。是不是聽起來很美好？我5年前就想這么做了。當(dāng)時我是一個中等階層的管理者，而且我討厭這個職位。好吧，其實是憎恨。我在上班前后會去上一些業(yè)余的個人培訓(xùn)班。我用了整整一年時間去擺脫那份工作，并且有足夠的勇氣去經(jīng)營一個全職的個人培訓(xùn)公司。但至少我走到了這一步。

　　Where would you like to be a year from now? What would you love to be doing?

　　一年之后你何去何從？你想做什么呢？

　　If you're not at all sure what your passion might be, then I'd recommend taking some time to identify your strengths. Here are 3 easy ways to get started on that: Ask your friends what they'd consider your strengths/natural skills to be。

　　如果你不確定你的激情源自何方，那么我建議你花些時間來尋找自己的優(yōu)勢。這里有 3條簡單的方法：問你的朋友他們覺得你的優(yōu)點和技巧是什么。
