畢業(yè)后我們這樣過：給大學應屆生的20個建議

There are many new grads headed into the real world this timeof year.

每年的這個時候，都會有一大批應屆畢業(yè)生踏入社會。

It seems like a long time ago since my own graduation. I wasrecently asked for my advice to new graduates entering theworkplace.

距離我自己畢業(yè)似乎已經(jīng)是很久以前的事了。最近有人就應屆生走進職場的事宜向我征求意見。

So, here are my 20 Workplace Tips for New Grads, from a Time & Life Management perspective, ofcourse.

這里是我為應屆畢業(yè)生準備的20個職場小貼士，當然這些建議是從時間和人生管理角度出發(fā)的。

1. Get to Work on Time – Unlike school, you can’t get away with sleeping in and not showing up. Itwill catch up to you quickly. Being present is the first step to success and the early bird is oftenrewarded.

按時上班——職場不像學校，在學校即使睡過頭或蹺課也沒什么大不了的，但上班以后如果你還這么散漫，很快就會受到處罰。按時上班是邁向成功的第一步，并且記住，早起的鳥兒有蟲吃。

2. Do Your Homework – Just because you are out of school doesn’t mean homework ends. Therewill be times that you have to work outside working hours. Find your balance, but do your workwhen it is required.

做好功課——離開學校并不意味著就不用做家庭作業(yè)了。工作以后，你會經(jīng)常面臨8小時之外還得工作的狀況。合理安排你的時間，但是需要加班時仍要做好你的工作。

3. Watch Your Reputation– You reputation in the working world will precede you, and it will followyou wherever you go. In the online hyper-connected world, this is more true than ever. Always,defend your reputation.

注意你的聲譽——在職場，聲譽代表著你的形象，并且時刻伴隨著你。在這個信息互聯(lián)的時代，它比以往任何時候都更加真實。因此要注意維護你的聲譽。

4. You Have to Do the Work – Sorry, but there are no shortcuts. There is no 4-hour work week.There is no get rich quick. You have to put in the time. And yes, you have to do the work. Ifsomeone tells you otherwise, run the other direction, they are trying to sell you something.

必須完成工作——這里沒有捷徑可以走，沒有每周4小時的工作，沒有快速致富的妙計。你必須投入時間。也就是說你必須工作。如果有人跟我說的不一樣甚至相反，他們可能是在試圖賣給你什么東西。

5. Bring Your Skills – Just because you are new to the workplace, do not be intimidated. You arebringing skills and knowledge that the workplace is hungry for. Contribute what you can and learnfrom others that have preceded you.

亮出你的本領——不要僅僅因為你是新來的就有畏懼心理。你身上有職場需要的技能和知識。盡力為工作付出，并多向前輩學習。

6. Work Hard – Always give your best effort. You never know what task is critical to your futuresuccess or may open a door of opportunity. If you find yourself in a job where you can’t give yourall, it’s time to move on.

努力工作——盡最大的努力工作。你永遠也不知道哪份工作會對你未來的成功產(chǎn)生至關重要的作用，或向你開啟機遇之門。如果你覺得現(xiàn)在的工作不能發(fā)揮你的潛力，那么是時候換工作了。

7. Build Relationships – Whether you a social butterfly or a shy individual, make sure you buildstrong relationships. You do this by genuinely caring and supporting others. Hard work counts,but relationships make the world go round.

建立自己的人脈——不管你是長袖善舞還是內(nèi)向害羞，都要建立良好的人脈。要做到這一點，你要真誠的關心和幫助他人。努力工作很重要，但成功更多來自強大的人脈。

8. Be An Adventurer – Always be willing to try new things. You can sit at home or the office anyday. Don’t pass up an opportunity to try a new adventure.

富有冒險精神——要勇于嘗試新事物。你可以坐在家里或辦公室里消磨一天又一天。不要放過任何嘗試新冒險的機會。

9. Don’t Be Afraid to Fail – You will fail many times. Especially early in your career. That is good. Ifyou don’t fail once in a while, you aren’t trying.

不要害怕失敗——你會經(jīng)歷很多次失敗，特別是剛進入職場時。這并不是什么壞事。偶爾失敗了，才會有繼續(xù)努力的方向。

10. Ask for Help When You Need It – Just like in school, you may need to ask for extra help. Don’tlet the workplace intimidate you from doing so.

必要時尋求幫助——就像在學校時一樣，你可能需要他人的幫助。不要因為是在職場，就不敢去尋求幫助。

11. Find the Subjects You Are Good At – You probably majored in something you were good at.Find a job that matches your passions and skills. By the way, this is also the work you will enjoy.That one choice will bring you much joy or frustration.

發(fā)現(xiàn)你的特長——你的專業(yè)很可能是你所擅長的。找一份能發(fā)揮你的激情和技能的工作。這樣你就不會為工作所累。這個選擇也意味著你以后的工作是帶給你快樂還是沮喪。

12. Make Decisions – Living life is about making choices. Some are easy and some are hard. But,make sure you make your own decisions or life will make them for you.

做出決定——生命就是不斷選擇的過程。只不過有些選擇是容易的，有些卻很艱難。但是你必須自己做出決定，否則生活就會替你做主。

13. Have Goals & Write Them Down – There has an undercurrent lately, of advice stating that youshouldn’t have goals. These are the same people who don’t want to fail. Regularly write down yourgoals. Share them with those that you love.

有目標，并且寫下來——最近有種聲音建議人們不應該有目標。這是一群不愿意面對失敗的人們。要經(jīng)常寫下你的目標，并與你愛的人一起分享。

14. Blaze Your Own Path – You don’t have to follow in anyone else’s footsteps. “That’s the way ithas always been done” is a dangerous road-sign to follow on the road of life.

活出自己的特色——你沒有必要跟隨別人的腳步。“大家都是這樣做的”，這種想法對于你的人生之路是一個危險的信號。

15. Always Be Learning – You may have just finished school, but don’t think you are donelearning. This has never been more important. In just a few short years, there will be entirely newtechnologies and information that didn’t exist when you were in school.

活到老學到老——你可能已經(jīng)完成學業(yè)，但這并不意味著你已經(jīng)不用學習了。這在當今世界尤為重要。最近幾年，你將會看到很多學校里沒有的全新的技術和信息。

16. No One Ever Was Successful Sitting on the Couch – You have to take the first step in yourown journey. That new job isn’t going to magically appear. That book isn’t going to write itself.And so on… so, put the remote down and leave the couch.

坐在沙發(fā)上永遠不會成功——要啟程你就必須先邁出第一步。新的工作不會奇跡般就出現(xiàn)。書也不會自己就寫出來。等等，等等……因此，放下遙控器，離開沙發(fā)，開始努力。

17. Enjoy the Journey - Too many people think life is a destination. “When I get there… I will besuccessful.” Life is a trip. Enjoy the journey. There is an end point, but the point is not to getthere.

享受過程——很多人認為生活就是目的。“當我到那里時，我就成功了。” 生命是一場旅行，要學會享受旅程。旅行總會有終點，但那并不是我們的目的。

18. Spend Your Time Wisely - As you get into the workplace you will find that you have less “freetime” than when you were in school. When you have a family, you will have even more demandson your time.Remember that you have as much time in the day as everyone else, spend it wisely.

合理安排你的時間——當你進入職場以后，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)，和在學校相比你能自由支配的時間少了很多。有家庭以后，會占用你更多的時間。要記住，每一天你所擁有的時間都和別人一樣多，合理安排你的時間。

19. Don’t Settle– Life is too short to settle in your job or in your relationships. You don’t have towork there. You don’t have to stay in a relationship.

不要太早安定下來——人生很短暫，不要太早就安定下來，無論是工作還是人際關系。你不一定非要在那里工作，也不一定非要處在那樣的人際關系中。

20. Believe in Yourself – You have to be you biggest fan. In the workplace, no one is going careabout your future more than you. Promote yourself where appropriate, and always believe inyourself even more than others do.

相信自己——無條件的做自己最大的粉絲。在職場沒有人比你更關心你的未來。在合適的時候提升自己的能力，并對自己報以最大的自信。
