Your first ‘real’ job should give you thefoundation needed for future success. This couldn’t have been more true in my case, but not in the ways you’d expect.
After graduating from the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business, I went to work as an analyst in the technology group of a bulge bracket investment bank. It paid very well and was in the tech field I wanted. This was it. I was on my way.
你的第一份“真正”的工作,应该为你未来的成功奠定基础。我的经历充分证明了这一点,只是过程有些出人意料。
从加州大学伯克利分校哈斯商学院(UC Berkeley Haas School of Business)毕业后,我在一家超大型投资银行的技术部门担任分析师。这份工作收入丰厚,也是我所期待的技术领域。这就是我的第一份工作。我从这里开始了自己的职业生涯。
It was 2002, during the depths of the dot-com bust and when the tech sector was a wasteland. I was working with the only active client for the group, a private technology company that engaged our bank to sell itself. As this was the only business for the group at that time, this deal was undertremendous scrutiny on all levels.
I was working 100-plus hour weeks for three straight months, and I remember vividly one weekend when I had a horrible flu. I was at the office working on a Saturday when the VP managing this deal went out to dinner. As she left, she asked for “another rev” on the presentation. Translation: I had to put in another eight hours that night, with a fever, and the CEO wanted to review the presentation on a 7:00 AM call the next morning (Sunday).
第一份工作工资不是最重要的
时值2002年,正是网络泡沫破灭影响最严重的时期,高科技领域哀鸿遍野。当时我负责部门唯一一位活跃的客户,这是一家私人高科技公司,正在通过我们银行对外出售。由于这是我所在部门当时唯一的业务,它的各个层面都受到了严格审查。
我每周工作100多个小时,连续工作了三个月,我清楚记得有一个周末,我得了严重的流感。周六的时候,我正在办公室加班,负责该交易的副总裁外出用餐。她走的时候要求我对演示稿“再修改一遍”。这意味着:虽然我正在发烧,但那天晚上我还是得再加班八个小时,因为CEO希望在第二天(周日)早上7点通过电话审核演示稿。
#p#副标题#e#I cant remember the exact mixture of caffeine and decongestants I took, but I somehow managed to get the presentation done, nab a couple hours of sleep and arrive back in the office for the call. I was drowsy, achy and coughing miserably during the call. At one point the VP muted the phone, looked at me and said, “I’m going to need you to perk up.
Perk up I did, but not in the way she was thinking. At that precise moment, I knew I was in the wrong job and more importantly, the wrong career path. In one life lesson she had unwittingly (and unrelentingly) taught me three key things:
我还记得当时喝了大量咖啡因和减充血剂,不过最终还是努力完场了演示稿。小睡了一两个小时候,我又回到办公室接听电话。在通话过程中,我昏昏欲睡,浑身疼痛不已,还不停咳嗽。一会儿,那位副总裁将电话调为静音,看着我说:“我需要你打起精神来。”
我确实打起了精神,但并不是按她所想的那样。就在那一刻,我明白这份工作并不适合我,更重要的是,这也不是适合我的职业道路。她在不经意间(并且无情地)给我上了一课,让我认识到了三件重要的事情:
Pursue great people and not the paycheck
Do work you love
Create a healthy work-life balance
• 追随优秀的人,而不是工资
• 做自己喜爱的工作
• 保证健康的工作和生活平衡
Suddenly, the income was not as important as being able to work with great mentors and people I could learn from. I had hoped for this when accepting the investment-banking job and soon realized it didn’t exist. I remained blinded by the pay until that mute button was pressed. I left and ultimately took a job that paid much less but was far more rewarding in terms of the people and the work.
Having a clear understanding of what was important to me was critical not just when co-founding a company that I wanted to work at – but also to create a place that fosters satisfying careers for all those I work with as well.
突然之间,收入不再重要,重要的是能够与优秀的导师和了不起的人一起共事。最初接受这份投行工作的时候,我也是抱着这样的希望,可惜,希望很快落空。但我一直被高工资所蒙蔽,直到静音键被按下的那一刻才幡然醒悟。我离开了那家银行,最终找到的工作虽然薪酬没有那么高,但那里的人和工作却给我带来了更多回报。
不论是共同创建一家自己希望为其奋斗的公司,还是为同事们创造一个平台,让他们获得令人满意的职业发展,对我而言,最为关键的是,清楚什么才是对自己最重要的。

摘录:每个工人对自己干多少活都是高度敏感的。当他感到希望他做的事过多时,就会采取某些措施。这种天性与每个现代工人所懂得的工作本身的政治特性有关。老板希望从工人身上得到的比他们给予的要多;工人付出劳动,老板付出报酬。这个交换从来不会太平等,此差异叫做利润。由于老板不能没有利润,工人们就占了上风。
How can someone, hour after hour, day after day, year in and year out, tighten approximately the same nut to the same boltand not go mad? That most working people do not, in fact, going mad is due in large measure to a phenomenon so common that it is found wherever people labor in industry: taking it easy. It would take some kind of real mental case to do all the work one could all day long. No one expects it. Taking it easy on the job while someone else covers your work, or "working on and off," as it is usually called in America, is an established part of the working life.
一个人怎么能时复一时,年复一年地把几乎相同的螺帽拧到相同的螺栓上而不发疯的呢?事实上,多数劳动者并不发疯多半是由于"不紧不慢"的现象很平常,在企业中只要有人工作的地方随处可见这种现象。一个人恐怕要有某种真正的精神病才能一整天竭尽全力地干活。没人希望这样。在别人帮你干活时,你就不紧不慢地干,也就是像美国人常说的那种"干干停停"是工作生涯的一个既定部分。
Working on and off, however, has its limits. The rules are infinitely varied, subtle, and flexible, and, of course, they are always changing. Management, up to a certain level at least, is aware of the practice, and in some industries employs entire cadres of people to curtail
or put an end to it. Simultaneously, the workers are subtly doing their best to keep it going and to extend it wherever possible.
然而,干干停停有它的局限性。这些惯例的变化无休无止,很微妙、很有弹性。当然,它们总在变。至少在一定程度上管理部门知道这种做法。一些企业雇佣干部以减少或结束这种做法。同时,工人们巧妙地、尽全力使之继续下去并使之触及到可能的任何地方。
Every worker has a highly developed sense of how much work is expected of him. When he feels that the expectation is excessive, he tries to do something about it. This instinct has to do with the political nature of work itself, something every modern worker understands. The bosses want more from the worker than they are willing to give in return. The workers give work, and the bosses give money. The exchange is never quite equal, and the discrepancyis called profit. Since the bosses cannot do without profit, workers have an edge. A good worker in a key spot could, so long as he kept up production, take all the coffee breaks he wanted, and the bosses would very likely look the other way. He could also choose to cut down on the coffee breaks, apply himself, and increase production, and then ask for and get more money. But that would be self-defeating, and he knows it. It would also place him in competition with other workers, which would be playing into the bosses' hands. What he would rather do is create some slack for himself and enjoy his job more.
每个工人对自己干多少活都是高度敏感的。当他感到希望他做的事过多时,就会采取某些措施。这种天性与每个现代工人所懂得的工作本身的政治特性有关。老板希望从工人身上得到的比他们给予的要多;工人付出劳动,老板付出报酬。这个交换从来不会太平等,此差异叫做利润。由于老板不能没有利润,工人们就占了上风。一个在关键岗位的好工人,只要他保持产量不降低,可以随心所欲地利用工间休息,而老板可能装作没看见。工人也可以缩短工间休息,卖力干活,增加生产,然后要求并得到更多的钱。但他知道那是违背自己利益的,这样做也会将自己置于与他人竞争之中,这种竞争会有利于老板。那么,他宁愿为自己创造一些空闲,更好的享受工作。
At present on the West Coast, when a gang of longshoremen
working on cargo start a shift, they often divide themselves into two equal groups and toss a coin. One group goes into the far reaches of the ship's hold and sits around. The other group starts loading
cargo, usually working with a vengeance, since each one of them is doing the work of two men. An hour later, the groups change places. In other words, although my fellow longshoremen and I are getting paid for eight hours, on occasion we work only four. If someone reading this feels a sense of moral outrage
because we are sitting down on the job, I am sorry. I have searched my mind in vain for a polite way to tell that reader to go to hell.
目前在西海岸,从事船货装卸工作的一伙码头装卸工开始轮班时,经常分成两组,然后掷硬币决定先后顺序。一组走到船舱深处分散坐下。另一组开始装货,通常干得卖力,因为他们每人干着两人的活,一小时以后两组交位置换。换句话说,虽然我和工友们获得八小时的报酬,有时却只干四小时。如果有人读到此,为我们怠工而愤慨的话,我很抱歉。我白费心机的绞尽脑汁想找到一个礼貌的说法,但现在要告诉这位读者,让他见鬼去吧。
If you are that reader, I would recommend that you abandon your outrage
and begin thinking about doing something similar for yourself. You probably already have, even if you won't admit it. White collar office workers, too, have come under criticism recently for robbing their bosses of their full-time services. Too much times is being spent around the Mr. Coffee machine, and some people (would you believe it?) have even been having personal conversations on company time. In fact, one office-system expert recently said that he had yet to encounter a business work place that was functioning at more than about 60 percent efficiency.
如果你是那个读者,我会劝你不要愤慨,开始为自己考虑一下类似的事情。即便你不承认,你可能已经想过了。近来,白领职员也由于不为老板全天服务而受到批评。在电煮咖啡机旁花了太多的时间。一些人甚至在工业时间进行私人交谈。事实上,一个办公制度专家近来说,他还没有遇到工作效率高于60%的商业网点。
Management often struggles hard to set up a situation where work is done in series: a worker receives an article of manufacture, does something to it, and passes it on to another worker, who does something else to it and then passes it on to the next guy, and so on. The assembly line
is a perfect example of this. Managers like this type of manufacture because it is more efficient - that is, it achieves more production. They also like it for another reason, even if they will not admit it: it makes it very difficult for the worker to do anything other than work.
管理部门经常努力创建一条龙式的工作:一个人接到产品后为之做些什么,把它传给另外一个工人,这个工人再做些什么,然后传给下一个工人,如此类推。装配线就是一个极好的例子。经理喜欢这种生产方式,因为它效率更高,也就是说能生产出更多的产品来。尽管老板不会承认,但还有另一个喜欢这种方式的原因,它使工人很难做工作以外的其他事情。
Frederick W. Taylor, the efficiency expert who early in this century conducted the time-and-motion studies that led to the assembly-line process, tried to reduce workers to robots, all in the name of greater production. His staff of experts, each armed with clipboard and stopwatch, studied individual workers with a view toward eliminating unnecessary movement. They soon found a great deal of opposition from the workers.
弗雷德里克·W·泰勒,是本世纪初进行时间和运动研究的效率专家,这种研究产生了装配线工序。他试图把工人变成机器人,只是为了更大的产量。他的专家组每人配有带弹簧夹子的书写板和秒表用来研究每个工人,使他们不能偷懒。很快他们发现工人们特别反对这种做法。
Most people not directly engaged in daily work express disapproval when they hear of people working on and off. A studied campaign with carefully chosen language - "a full day's work for a full day's pay," "taking a free ride" - has been pushed by certain employers to discredit the practice, and their success is such that I rarely discuss it except with other workers. My response is personal, and I feel no need to defend it: If I am getting a free ride, how come I am so tired when I go home at the end of a shift?
大多数不直接从事日常工作的人听到人们"干干停停"地工作时,会表示不赞同。一些雇主推行了一场预先计划的运动,和"全天工作付全天报酬""只拿钱不干活"这些精心选择的语言来诋毁这种做法。除了同其他工人,我很少谈起他们的成功。我的回答是个人观点,我感到没必要为之辩护:拿钱不干活,我下班回家后怎么会那么累呢?

名词解释:政府工作报告是中华人民共和国政府的一种公文形式,各级政府都必须在每年召开的当地人民代表大会会议和政治协商会议(俗称“两会”)上向大会主席团、与会人大代表和政协委员发布这一报告。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?
The 11th National People's Congress (NPC), China's parliament, opened its fifth annual session Monday morning at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
Premier Wen Jiabao delivered the government work report at the opening meeting, chaired by NPC Standing Committee Chairman Wu Bangguo.
周一上午,第十一届全国人民代表大会第五次会议在人民大会堂开幕。
会议由吴邦国主持,温家宝在会议上作了政府工作报告。
【讲解】:
“政府工作报告”的英文表达就是government work report,我们也可以说“a report on the work of the government ”。deliver a report就是作报告的意思。全国两会是指全国人民代表大会(National People's Congress)以及中国人民政治协商会议(Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference)。简称NPC和CPPCC(或The PCC)。
Great Hall of the People就是人民大会堂的意思。两会中的代表我们用deputy一词表达。

各位代表:现在,我代表国务院,向大会报告政府工作,请予审议,并请全国政协各位委员提出意见。
Fellow Deputies,On behalf of the State Council, I will now report to you on the work of the government for your deliberation and approval, and I invite comments on my report from the members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
I. A Review of the Work in 2014
过去一年,我国发展面临的国际国内环境复杂严峻。全球经济复苏艰难曲折,主要经济体走势分化。国内经济下行压力持续加大,多重困难和挑战相互交织。
Over the past year, the international and domestic environments faced by China in its development have been complicated and challenging. The road to global economic recovery has been rough, with many ups and downs, and the performance of the major economies has been divergent. Downward pressure on China's economy has continued to mount, and we have faced an array of interwoven difficulties and challenges.
在以同志为的党中央坚强领导下,全国各族人民万众一心,克难攻坚,完成了全年经济社会发展主要目标任务,全面深化改革实现良好开局,全面推进依法治国开启新征程,全面建成小康社会又迈出坚实步伐。
However, under the firm leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) headed by General Secretary Xi Jinping, all our people have worked together as one, surmounted difficulties, and accomplished the year's main targets for economic and social development, thereby ensuring that we got off to a good start in comprehensively deepening reform, embarked on a new journey to fully advance the law-based governance of China, and again made solid progress in our endeavor to finish building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.
一年来,我国经济社会发展总体平稳,稳中有进。“稳”的主要标志是,经济运行处于合理区间。
During the past year, China has, overall, achieved a stable performance while at the same time securing progress in its economic and social development. The main indication of this stable performance is that the economy operated within an appropriate range.
增速稳,国内生产总值达到63.6万亿元,比上年增长7.4%,在世界主要经济体中名列前茅。
--The growth rate was steady. China's GDP reached 63.6 trillion yuan, an increase of 7.4% over the previous year, making China one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world.
就业稳,城镇新增就业1322万人,高于上年。
--Employment remained robust, with 13.22 million new urban jobs created, which is higher than the figure for the previous year.
价格稳,居民消费价格上涨2%。“进”的总体特征是,发展的协调性和可持续性增强。
--Prices were stable, with the CPI rising by 2%. The underlying feature demonstrating progress is that our development is becoming better coordinated and more sustainable.
经济结构有新的优化,粮食产量达到1.21万亿斤,消费对经济增长的贡献率上升3个百分点,达到51.2%,服务业增加值比重由46.9%提高到48.2%,新产业、新业态、新商业模式不断涌现。
--The economic structure was upgraded. Grain output reached 605 million metric tons; the contribution of consumption toward economic growth rose by three percentage points to 51.2%; the value added of the service sector increased from 46.9% to 48.2% of the GDP; and there was a constant stream of new industries, new types of business, and new business models. The central and western regions grew faster in economic terms than the eastern region.
中西部地区经济增速快于东部地区。发展质量有新的提升,一般公共预算收入增长8.6%,研究与试验发展经费支出与国内生产总值之比超过2%,能耗强度下降4.8%,是近年来最大降幅。
--The quality of development was raised. Revenue in the general public budgets grew by 8.6%. Research and development spending accounted for more than 2% of the GDP. Energy intensity was cut by 4.8%, the biggest reduction made in recent years.
人民生活有新的改善,全国居民人均可支配收入实际增长8%,快于经济增长;农村居民人均可支配收入实际增长9.2%,快于城镇居民收入增长;农村贫困人口减少1232万人;6600多万农村人口饮水安全问题得到解决;出境旅游超过1亿人次。
--People's lives were improved. Per capita disposable personal income increased by 8% in real terms nationwide, growing faster than the economy, and the per capita disposable income of rural residents grew by 9.2%, outpacing that of those living in urban areas. In rural areas, the number of people living in poverty was reduced by 12.32 million, and over 66 million more people gained access to safe drinking water. The number of outbound trips made by Chinese tourists exceeded 100 million.
改革开放有新的突破,全面深化改革系列重点任务启动实施,本届政府减少1/3行政审批事项的目标提前实现。
--New breakthroughs were made in reform and opening up. A series of key tasks for comprehensively deepening reform were launched, and the goal of the current administration to cut the number of items that require government review by one third was achieved ahead of schedule.
这份成绩单的确来之不易,它凝聚着全国各族人民的心血和汗水,坚定了我们奋勇前行的决心和信心。
These achievements have not come easily. They have been made possible by the painstaking efforts and hard work of all our people, and they have strengthened our resolve and confidence to keep pushing ahead.
过去一年,困难和挑战比预想的大。我们迎难而上,主要做了以下工作。
Over the past year, we have faced more difficulties and challenges than anticipated. We have risen to the challenge and accomplished the following in our work.
一是在区间调控基础上实施定向调控,保持经济稳定增长。
First, on the basis of range-based macro regulation, we exercised targeted regulation to keep the economy growing steadily.
面对经济下行压力加大态势,我们保持战略定力,稳定宏观经济政策,没有采取短期强刺激措施,而是继续创新宏观调控思路和方式,实行定向调控,激活力、补短板、强实体。把握经济运行合理区间的上下限,抓住发展中的突出矛盾和结构性问题,定向施策,聚焦靶心,精准发力。向促改革要动力,向调结构要助力,向惠民生要潜力,既扩大市场需求,又增加有效供给,努力做到结构调优而不失速。
In the face of mounting downward economic pressure, we maintained strategic focus and kept our macroeconomic policy unchanged. Instead of using short-term stimulus measures, we continued to develop new ideas and methods for macro regulation. We exercised targeted regulation, stimulated market activity, shored up our weak spots, and boosted the real economy. With a keen understanding of the appropriate range within which the economy needs to be operating, we adopted targeted steps to address the serious issues and structural problems hindering development. We promoted reform to gain impetus for development, made structural adjustments to produce support for development, and improved living standards to increase the potential for development. We both expanded market demand and increased effective supply, working to ensure that structural adjustments were made without compromising the growth rate.
有效实施积极的财政政策和稳健的货币政策。实行定向减税和普遍性降费,拓宽小微企业税收优惠政策范围,扩大“营改增”试点。加快财政支出进度,积极盘活存量资金。
We have been effectively implementing proactive fiscal policy and prudent monetary policy. We increased targeted tax reductions, reduced fees across the board, extended the coverage of tax relief policies to benefit more small and micro businesses, and expanded the trials to replace business tax with VAT to cover more industries.
灵活运用货币政策工具,采取定向降准、定向再贷款、非对称降息等措施,加大对经济社会发展薄弱环节的支持力度,小微企业、“三农”贷款增速比各项贷款平均增速分别高4.2和0.7个百分点。同时,完善金融监管,坚决守住不发生区域性系统性风险的底线。
We sped up the process of making budgetary funds available for fiscal expenditures and put surplus budgetary funds to good use. By flexibly utilizing monetary policy instruments, making targeted cuts to required reserve ratios, carrying out targeted re-lending, and making asymmetric interest rate cuts, we stepped up support for weaker areas in economic and social development. Increases in loans made to small and micro businesses, and loans for agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, outdid the average increase in loans overall by 4.2 and 0.7 percentage points respectively. At the same time, regulation of the financial sector was improved and regional and systemic risks were forestalled.
二是深化改革开放,激发经济社会发展活力。
Second, we deepened reform and opening up and invigorated economic and social development.
针对束缚发展的体制机制障碍,我们通过全面深化改革,以释放市场活力对冲经济下行压力,啃了不少硬骨头,经济、政治、文化、社会、生态文明等体制改革全面推进。
To address obstructions holding back development caused by certain systems and mechanisms, we comprehensively deepened reform, invigorating the market to offset downward economic pressure. We tackled many tough issues and carried out structural reforms in the economic, political, cultural, societal, and ecological sectors.
扎实推动重点改革。制定并实施深化财税体制改革总体方案,预算管理制度和税制改革取得重要进展,专项转移支付项目比上年减少1/3以上,一般性转移支付比重增加,地方政府性债务管理得到加强。存款利率和汇率浮动区间扩大,民营银行试点迈出新步伐,“沪港通”试点启动,外汇储备、保险资金运用范围拓展。能源、交通、环保、通信等领域价格改革加快。启动科技资金管理、考试招生、户籍、机关事业单位养老保险制度等改革。
We have made solid progress in key reforms. We formulated and implemented a coordinated plan for deepening the reform of the fiscal and tax systems. Important progress was made in the reform of the budgetary management and tax systems. The number of items receiving special transfer payments was over one third less than that of the previous year, and the proportion of transfer payments for general purposes was increased. Management of local government debt was strengthened. The floating ranges of interest rates on deposits and exchange rates were expanded. New steps were taken in the trials to establish private banks. The Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect was launched on a trial basis. The scope for using foreign exchange reserves and insurance funds was broadened. Price reforms in energy, transport, environmental protection, and communications were accelerated. We launched reforms to the system for managing research and development funding, the school examination and enrollment systems, the household registration system, and the pension system for employees of Party and government offices and public institutions.
继续把简政放权、放管结合作为改革的重头戏。国务院各部门全年取消和下放246项行政审批事项,取消评比达标表彰项目29项、职业资格许可和认定事项149 项,再次修订投资项目核准目录,大幅缩减核准范围。着力改革商事制度,新登记注册市场主体达到1293万户,其中新登记注册企业增长45.9%,形成新的创业热潮。经济增速放缓,新增就业不降反增,显示了改革的巨大威力和市场的无限潜力。
We have continued to give the central stage in reform to streamlining administration and delegating more powers to lower-level governments and to society in general while improving regulation. Over the course of the year, departments under the State Council cancelled the requirement of or delegated the power for review on 246 items. We cancelled 29 performance evaluations, inspections on the meeting of standards, and commendations, and 149 verifications and approvals of vocational qualifications. We again revised and significantly shortened the list of investment projects requiring government review. We channeled great effort into the reform of the business system. The number of newly registered market entities reached 12.93 million, with that of enterprises increasing by 45.9%, creating a fresh surge of entrepreneurial activity. While economic growth slowed down,more jobs were created, which fully demonstrates both the tremendous power of reform and the endless potential of the market.
以开放促改革促发展。扩展上海自由贸易试验区范围,新设广东、天津、福建自由贸易试验区。稳定出口,增加进口,出口占国际市场份额继续提升。实际使用外商直接投资1196亿美元,居世界首位。对外直接投资1029亿美元,与利用外资并驾齐驱。中国与冰岛、瑞士自贸区启动实施,中韩、中澳自贸区完成实质性谈判。铁路、电力、油气、通信等领域对外合作取得重要成果,中国装备正大步走向世界。
We drew on further opening up to boost reform and development. We expanded the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone and established similar zones in Guangdong, Tianjin, and Fujian. We worked to keep exports stable and increase imports, and China's international market share in exports continued to increase. Foreign direct investment actually made in China reached $119.6 billion, making the country the world's top destination for foreign direct investment. China's outward foreign direct investment reached $102.9 billion, meaning that outward investment has come to draw even with inward investment. China's free trade zone arrangements with Iceland and Switzerland were officially launched, and China completed substantive talks on free trade zones with the Republic of Korea and Australia. Major progress was made in cooperation with other countries in fields such as railways, electric power, oil, natural gas, and communications. Chinese equipment is making significant strides into the international market.

导语:心流是人们全身心投入某事的一种心理状态。如艺术家在创作时。人们处于这种情境时,往往不愿被打扰,即抗拒中断。定义是一种将个人精神力完全投注在某种活动上的感觉;心流产生时同时会有高度的兴奋及充实感。
There is absolutely nothing like flow, which is that energized, hyper-focused state that you fall in when you are completely absorbed in whatever you’re doing. You’ve felt it, right? Working in such an absorbed fashion that you look up and hours have flown by. Feeling completely engaged and focused. Call it flow, peak performance, or being in the zone. It’s when we work and live at our absolute best.
绝对没有什么能够和“心流”相提并论。所谓“心流”是指当你全身心投入一件事情时,你所呈现出的精力充沛、高度专注的状态。你曾体会过这种状态吗?全神贯注地工作,抬起头时发现时光飞逝。那是一种全身心投入和精力高度集中的感觉。你可以称它为心流,或者最佳表现或专心致志等。其实就是我们以最佳状态投入到工作和生活之中。
The concept of flow was first noted and studied by University of Chicago psychology professor MihalyCsikszentmihalyi, who came to believe that flow is the ultimate state of happiness. In Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, Csikszentmihalyi says you know you’re in flow when the work is effortless, when you feel:
芝加哥大学(University of Chicago)心理学教授米哈里o齐克森米哈里最先提出心流这一概念,并对其进行了一番研究。他相信心流是幸福的终极状态。在《心流:一种美妙的心理状态》(Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience)一书中,齐克森米哈里提到,在心流状态下,工作毫不费力,你会感觉到:
o Completely immersed and engaged in what you are doing
o 完全沉浸于并全身心投入到正在做的事情当中
o A sense of ecstasy, feeling outside everyday reality
o 一种陶醉感,感觉自己超越了日常现实
o Great inner clarity
o 内心的纯净
o Confidence in the task at hand
o 对手头任务充满自信
o A sense of serenity
o 一种宁静感
o Timelessness, hours seem to pass in minutes
o 超越了时间,几个小时一眨眼便过去了
o Intrinsic motivation, meaning whatever has produced the flow is its own reward
o 内在激励,即无论会产生什么,心流本身便是一种奖励。
You don’t have to be a famous artist, writer, or athlete to get in the flow. We can all get there. We can all learn to work better, with real joy, passion, and presence. How? Well, there’s a simple science to it, but the bottom line is that in order to really experience flow, we have to train ourselves to disengage from the distractions that surround us all day every day. We can’t get to flow if we’re overwired. And that means we have to learn to unwire.
并非只有著名艺术家、作家或运动员才会进入心流状态。人人都能做到。我们都可以学会带着快乐的心情,怀着激情和存在感去更好地工作。但具体应该怎么做?这是一门简单的学问,但最重要的是,为了真正进入心流,我们必须训练自己摆脱每天包围我们身边的干扰因素。如果我们过度科技化,便无法进入心流状态。这意味着我们必须学会“断开连接”。
It can certainly be tough, but here are five ways to help you get there:
这当然有难度,但通过以下五种方法可以帮助你实现这个目标:
Seek out struggle.Flow doesn’t just happen; we have to get into it, and that’s where the struggle comes in. You actually have to fight to get into flow and struggle against the myriad disruptions and distractions that prevent us from getting there — emails, texts, Facebook, Twitter, phone calls, etc. There are so many opportunities to be distracted and avoid the struggle. Don’t justify busy work (i.e. email, texts, putting all those files away, etc.); get to work on important things. Schedule a time to answer emails and phone calls. Schedule your flow time like you would anything else.
找出对抗点。心流不会凭空出现;我们必须主动寻求这种状态,这时便会出现对抗点。你必须经过努力才能进入心流状态,必须对抗阻止我们进入心流状态的混乱和干扰因素,包括电子邮件、短信、Facebook、Twitter、电话等。有太多因素会分散我们的注意力,让我们避开对抗点。不要以工作繁忙为理由(如电子邮件、短信、处理所有文件等);要处理重要的事情。安排出回复电子邮件和电话的时间。像对待其他事情一样,安排你的心流时间。
Unplug, unwire, and unwind.The struggle will be a lot less difficult if you actually disconnect, and a critical precursor to flow is taking time to unplug from the stress and strain, to unwire ourselves from our technology and devices, and to truly let ourselves unwind. When we do, we change the way our brains operate, we change our neurochemistry, and we shift the way we think. Then and only then can we enter flow. So unplug from your gadgets. Move away from the distractions. Shift your attention and energy so you can get into your flow.
抛开插电设备,断开连接,放松身心。如果你能关掉电子设备,对抗的过程就会变得容易许多,而心流的一个关键先导因素是从紧张与压力中解脱出来,断开与科技和各种设备的连接,真正让自己放松下来。在这种情况下,我们会改变大脑的运行方式,改变神经化学状态,改变思维方式。只有这时候我们才能进入心流状态。所以,要从电子设备中将自己解放出来。远离干扰。转移注意力和精力,让自己进入心流状态。
Be here now.Flow only happens when you are in the present. In fact, that’s the very nature of flow—being absolutely lost in the present. If you are worrying about the past or planning for the future you won’t get in flow. Optimize your likelihood of getting in flow by setting clear goals (“Today I want to accomplish this.”) and remove distractions: Close your door, turn off your phone and all the responders that go ping and ding, tell people not to disturb you. If an anxious or stressful thought pops into your head write it down and put it aside for later. Minimize distractions so you stay in the present and stay in the flow.
活在当下。只有当你活在当下的时候才能进入心流状态。事实上,这也是心流的本质——完全沉浸在眼下。如果你在担心过去或计划未来,便很难进入心流状态。通过设定明确的目标(“今天我想实现这个目标。”)和排除干扰,来提高自己进入心流状态的可能性:关上门,关闭电话和会叮当作响的所有应答设备,告诉人们不要来打扰你。如果内心产生了一种令人焦虑或紧张的想法,把它写下来,然后放在一边待以后再处理。最大程度地减少干扰,让自己专注于现在,保持心流状态。
Embrace the funk of recovery.Flow is draining. During flow, our brains go crazy, producing neurochemicals to create the hyperfocused, creative, expansive state. As the neurochemicals recede don’t expect to feel great. Sleep, sunshine, and nutrition are essential, so when you’re out of your flow, go for a walk in the sun and then take a rest. And rather than lamenting that the flow state has ended enjoy your period of recovery. Your brain needs the rest. Relax and rejuvenate. You won’t be able to get back into flow if you don’t.
接受恢复正常状态时的惊惶感。心流会令人筋疲力尽。在心流状态中,我们的大脑会变得疯狂,身体中产生的神经化学物质将创造出高度专注、富有创造力、异常欣快的状态。而这些神经化学物质减少之后,别指望会感觉良好。睡眠、阳光和营养非常重要,所以退出心流状态之后,到阳光下去散散步,然后好好休息一下。不要因为心流状态的结束而感到惋惜,要享受复原的过程。你的大脑需要休息。放松心情,恢复精力。否则以后将很难重新回到心流状态。
Flow whenever and wherever you can.Turns out the more we get into flow, the easier it becomes to get there. Flow is like a muscle or habit; it gets easier over time. The more you train your brain to get into and stay in flow, the easier it becomes to get there. So if you crave more flow at work, spend more time on weekends in flow doing what you love—gardening, cooking, dancing, etc.
随时随地进入心流状态。事实证明,我们进入心流状态的次数越多,就越容易进入其中。心流就像肌肉或习惯;随着时间的推移,进入心流状态更容易。训练大脑进入和停留在心流状态的次数越多,进入心流状态也就越容易。所以,如果你希望在工作中有更多心流状态,可以在周末多拿出时间进入心流状态,做自己喜欢的事情,如园艺、烹饪、跳舞等。
Flow is a state that we can all experience. I don’t want to leave the impression that technology is evil. Quite the contrary; I love technology (my love for my iPhone runs a very close third to that of my husband and son). But we can’t get into flow if we are overwired, responding to every ping, ding, and post, and distracted and disrupted by our gadgets. Only by unwiring can you go with the flow.
心流是一种人人都能体验到的状态。我不想让人们认为科技是邪恶的。恰恰相反;我热爱科技(我对iPhone手机的爱仅次于我的丈夫和儿子)。但如果我们过度科技化,回复每一条信息和帖子,被电子设备分心和干扰,我们便无法进入心流状态。只有将自己从这些电子设备中解放出来,才能进入心流状态。

摘要:根据一项新调查显示,当员工在办公室里度过了郁闷的一天,他们狼吞虎咽油腻午餐和垃圾食品的可能性会更高。
If you reach for a biscuit or a chocolate bar when you're a bit fed up, you're not alone.
Workers who are having a bad day at the office are more likely to devour lardy lunches and junk food, according to a new survey.
如果你在工作中感到有些疲乏,伸手去拿饼干或者巧克力块,你不是一个人。
根据一项新调查显示,当员工在办公室里度过了郁闷的一天,他们狼吞虎咽油腻午餐和垃圾食品的可能性会更高。
Comparably, workers with a positive approach to their job pick up healthy lunches like salads and low calorie sandwiches.
相对而言,那些在工作中心态积极的职员在午餐时则会选择健康的食物,比如沙拉和低热量的三明治。
工作不开心者容易胖
More than three quarters (77 per cent) of the 2,000 workers surveyed, said their mood in the office 'definitely' impacted on the food they eat at lunch time.
在参与调查的2000名公司职员中,有超过3/4(77%)声称,他们在办公室里的心情对午餐时选择的食物有“明显”的影响。
Half claim they always opt for a super healthy lunch on days their mood is happy and upbeat.
一半的员工声称,在他们心情愉悦积极的日子里,他们总是选择非常健康的午餐。
However, as soon as they were having a rough day, more than half (54 per cent) abandoned plans to eat healthy lunches like sushi and salads in favour of burgers, curries and pizza.
但是,一旦他们一天的工作很糟糕,超过一半(54%)的员工都会抛弃原有的健康午餐的计划,倾向于选择汉堡,咖喱饭和披萨,而不是寿司和沙拉。
A bad day in the office was by far the most popular excuse for comfort eating, with 72 per cent of adults admitting they do this.
工作不开心是目前人们最常用的借口,人们以此为自己的安慰性进食开脱,有72%的成年人都承认他们会这样做。
Roughly four meals a week are selected on the basis of the mood we are in, the poll found.
调查发现,平均每周会有四顿饭,我们会根据自己当时的心情决定自己吃什么。
The typical worker will scoff on fast-food at their desk 38 times in an average year because they are in a foul mood, with 45 per cent claiming the worse their mood, the more indulgent their food choice.
典型的状况是,一名公司员工平均一年会有38次时间,因为自己心情不好而在餐桌前对垃圾食品大快朵颐。45%的人称,他们的心情越糟糕,他们在食物的选择上就越自我放纵。
Fortunately, 45 per cent of those quizzed said their typical weekday lunch is 'quite fresh', but 30 per cent described their work lunches as 'fatty' and 'greasy'.
还有,有45%的受访者称他们在工作日的午餐一般“很健康”,不过也有30%的人称他们在工作日的午餐“荤腥”、“油腻”。
The survey showed that reaching for fatty foods is not only bad for our waistlines, but our bank balances too – with the typical worker forking out £221.76 a year on junk food to improve their mood.
研究显示,选择油腻的食物不仅对我们的身体曲线无益,对我们的收支平衡也没有好处——为了改善自己的心情,典型的公司员工一年要在垃圾食品上花费221.76英镑。
Not only do workers admit to eating poor quality food, 47 per cent said they rush their food down if they are having a busy or stressful day.
员工们不仅承认自己的饮食不够健康,还有47%的人承认,当他们工作繁忙或者压力过大时,他们就会囫囵吞枣、草草了事。
The average person said they consumed their lunch in just six minutes with an average three meals per week eaten at desks.
员工们一般只花6分钟的时间吃午饭,平均每周有三顿饭是在办公桌前吃的。
What do I do if I’m unhappy at Work? Every person becomes unhappy at work at some time or another. It’s the natural emotional ebb and flow of being human. Even the best job has its problems. I’ve put together a list of 5 tasks that will help you work happier.
工作不开心怎么办?每个人都会有一段时间感到工作不开心。心情时好时坏,这是人的正常表现。即使是好工作也会有不如意的地方。我整理出5条方法,可以让你工作得更开心。
1. Find Meaning
寻找意义
If you believe in the work you do, it will be easier to connect to each task. People who are passionateabout their work will do almost anything to make sure the job is done well.
如果你相信你所做的工作,你就会容易和你的工作“产生火花”。一个热爱自己工作的人会为完美地完成工作而竭尽所能。
You need to find a way to connect with your job. I would suggest that you start by listing all of the aspects of your products and services that deliver value. A few of these items should ping your heart.
你一定要找到和工作擦出火花的方法。我建议先列出一张表,表上列出你所提供的能产生价值的产品和服务,其中的某些项目可能会让你灵光一闪。
If a few of these items from your list tug at your emotions, then expand on them. How can youconsistently keep these feelings at the forefront of your brain as you work? You should keep these emotional stimulators in a place where you can see them. If you are feeling down and your energy is broken, then read over these stimulators.
如果列表中的这些项目可以燃起你的工作热情,那就继续细化。你要想想,要怎样才能让工作中的自己时时刻刻都热血沸腾。你可以把这些能激励自己的事物放在看得见的地方。当你心情低落,无精打采,就去看两眼。
2. Become more aware of self-talk
更关注自己的内心
When you are in a stressful situation, watch your thoughts and see how they add or subtract to your happiness. If you are having thoughts that subtract from your joy, then try to offset this with fresh angles that help you see the positive.
当你压力很大时,听听自己的想法,看看压力是怎样增减你的快乐的。假如你有不开心的念头,那就换个角度思考,这样有助于你用积极的方式看待问题。
By noticing what you are grateful for, you’ll expand your choices. The more positive choices you have the more likely you will feel happy.
要关注能让自己开心的方法,多多发现扩展这些方法。让自己变得积极开心的方法越多,你就能越开心。
3. Help Someone Else Become Happy
让他人快乐
When you make someone laugh, how does it make you feel? It makes you feel good. It’s a basic part of being human.
当你让一个人笑起来,你会有什么感觉呢?感觉棒极了,这是人与生俱来的本能。
Making someone else laugh is the same as helping someone at work: when you do it, you increase your own happiness. You stop worrying about yourself and focus on making someone else happy. The best part is that you improve your own happiness at the same time.
让他人笑和在工作上帮助他人是同样的道理:当你做到了,你会使自己更快乐。你不再为自己而担忧,而是努力让他人感到开心。最重要的是:赠人玫瑰,手有余香(让人开心的同时能让自己快乐)。
4. Remember 3 Good Things
记住3件开心事
When you take the time to remember 3 good things, you are training yourself to see the positive in each day.
当你花时间记住3件开心事,那你就是在锻炼自己每天都保持积极的态度。
Many of us actually do the opposite: we look at all the upsetting things that happened in our day, thinking that if we look over our mistakes we can avoid repeating them. This causes us to focus on thenegative and beat ourselves up.
然而,我们往往背道而行:我们总是记住每天发生的那些让自己难受的事,以为只要记住错误就能避免重复犯错。事实上,这会使你关注消极的因素,最终导致失败。
5. Use More of Your Strengths
多利用你的长处
You can also find a way to use your own strengths at your job so you can leverage more happiness. That may mean volunteering for work that you enjoy doing even if you have a full plate. Hopefully your manager and co-workers will notice and try to give you more work of this kind.
当你发现你可以在工作中多利用自己的长处,你会收获更多开心。即便你满手工作,只要你愿意,你也会义务为他人工作。总有一天,你的经理和同事们会注意到你的表现,并将更多的工作分配给你。
Bear in mind that this will take patience. It takes time to retrain people on what type of work to give you.
记住要有耐心。人们也需要时间来验证你的才能,了解你适合什么样的工作。

摘要:听古典音乐还是听流行歌曲将影响你的工作表现。最新研究表明在办公室听音乐能够提高如数据录入、校对、问题解决此类工作的速度及准确性。在一项以办公室为实验对象的测试中,80%的员工听音乐时的工作准确性最高。
Whether it is Mozart or Miley, your choice of music could determine whether you will perform well at your job. A new study suggests that listening to music in the office improves the speed and accuracy of tasks such as data entry, proof reading and problem solving. In an office-based experiment, 88 per cent of participants were found to produce their most accurate work when listening to music.
听贾斯汀比伯的歌 有助提高工作效率
The study also found that 81 per cent completed their fastest work when music was played. And it matters what type of music you listen to. For instance, if you’re doing your tax returns, then classical music is the most effective as it improves maths skills.
听古典音乐还是听流行歌曲将影响你的工作表现。最新研究表明在办公室听音乐能够提高如数据录入、校对、问题解决此类工作的速度及准确性。在一项以办公室为实验对象的测试中,80%的员工听音乐时的工作准确性最高。
该研究还发现81%的员工在听音乐时能够以最快的速度完成工作。但这取决于听的是哪种音乐。例如,在做纳税申报单时最好听古典音乐。古典音乐能够提高你的运算能力,因此你的工作效率将会最高。
Listening to Jessie J or Justin Bieber could also improve your speed, with 58 per cent of participants completing data entry tasks faster while listening to pop songs. During proof-reading, dance music, such as David Guetta, had the biggest positive impact with participants increasing their speed by 20 per cent compared to tests undertaken with no music at all. Dance music also had a positive effect on spell-checking with a 75 per cent pass rate compared to 68 per cent when no music was played at all.
听杰西•J或贾斯汀•比伯的歌也能提高你的工作速度。试验中58%的员工在听流行歌曲时数据录入的速度更快。而类似大卫•库塔风格的舞曲对校对工作的积极影响最为显著,工作速度较无音乐时提高了20%。舞曲对拼写检查也有很大帮助,无音乐时的通过率为68%而舞曲环境下的通过率则为75%
The research, undertaken by Brighton-based Mindlab International, suggests that silent offices may be the least productive. ‘The Music Works experiment revealed a positive correlation between music and productivity – overall it showed that when listening to music, nine out of 10 people performed better,’ said Dr David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International.
该项研究由总部位于布莱顿的“国际心理实验室”执行。研究认为安静办公室的工作效率可能最低。“音乐效用试验揭示了音乐与工作效率间的积极联系—该研究全面地展示了听音乐时10人中会有9人因此工作表现得到提高,”国际心理实验室主席大卫•刘易斯博士说道。
Music is an incredibly powerful management tool in increasing the efficiency of a workforce. It can exert a highly beneficial influence over employee morale and motivation, helping enhance output and even boosting a company’s bottom line. The research also showed that when people sat in silence, they made the most mistakes while solving equations and spell-checking.
在提高员工工作效率方面音乐有着惊人的影响力。它对员工的斗志和积极性有着极大的调动作用,有助提高产出甚至整个公司的发展状况。研究还发现当人在安静的环境中求解方程式或查找拼写错误时最容易犯错。
Ambient music worked best for accurate data entry tasks, with participants scoring a high pass rate of 92 per cent. ‘The increase in levels of productivity when music is playing is striking,’ said Paul Clements, Director of Public Performance Sales, PRS for Music. ‘This project provides a refreshing reminder of the multiple benefits to be gained from listening to music at work.’
音乐环境最有利于保证数据录入的准确性,实验中92%的员工在准确性方面都得了高分。“工作效率因播放音乐有所提高的现象极为显著,”英国作曲家协会 PRS for Music公共演出销售部总监保罗•克莱门茨说道。 “该研究发现让人耳目一新,它提醒了人们工作时听音乐好处众多。
Whether you favor Beethoven or Slayer, there is one thing I think we can all agree on: music makes life better. But here is the proof as science would have it, and it’s not just in the ways we think.
无论你喜欢贝多芬还是杀手乐队,有一件事我想我们都认同:音乐让生活更美好。但这种说法不只是我们自己这么觉得,是有科学证明依据的。
1. Listening To Music Reduces Stress
听音乐可以减压
A lot of us intuitively turn to relaxing music when we are feeling stressed or tired. Perhaps unsurprisingly, we’re not just imagining things. Significant research backs it up. In particular, slow, quiet classical music is suggested to have the most soothing effect.
当我们感到紧张或疲倦时,我们很多人都直观地选择听音乐这种放松方式。也许这并不奇怪,我们不只是想象而已。有深入性研究表明这种说法有道理。具体而言,建议听速度慢偏安静风格的古典音乐,具有让人感觉最舒缓的效果。
So if you have a hard time dealing with stress, compiling a playlist of some fitting classical songs could be a good idea. Or try listening to a relaxing, classical-style movie soundtrack.
所以,如果你很难排解压力,弄一个古典歌曲的播放列表可能会是个好主意,或尝试听些让人放松的古典风格电影配乐。
2. Listening To Music Improves Endurance
听音乐增强耐力
Do you work out? Have you always felt like you perform better when you listen to music? Odd as it might seem, there has actually been a lot of research done on this subject. And sure enough, one study shows that music can increase endurance by 15%.
你锻炼身体吗?你是不是一直觉得自己在听音乐时的表现更好一些?听起来可能有些怪,但其实关于这个课题已经进行了很多研究。一项研究表明,音乐可以增加15%的耐力。
One theory is that the continuity of a classical piece helps you focus, which in turn allows you to persevere longer. However, another study suggests that it’s not the type of music, but rather the speed of the music—the beats per minute (bpm)—that matter. According to the study, the optimal speed would be 125–140 bpm.
一种理论认为,古典音乐的连续性有助于你集中专注力,这样可以让你坚持更长时间。还有另一项研究表明,不是音乐的风格类型,而是音乐速度——每分钟节拍数在起作用。根据这项研究,最佳速度是125-140节拍。
3. It Can Make You Healthier
听音乐可以使你更加健康
It might seem too good to be true, but some research suggests that there are measurable health benefits from simply listening to music. Listening to music can also release dopamine, often dubbed “the pleasure chemical”. You could perhaps substitute the pleasure achieved through eating your comfort foods by indulging in your favorite music, with none of the negative health repercussions.
听起来似乎好得令人难以置信,但据一些研究表明,只听音乐就对健康有很大的益处。听音乐也会释放“快乐化学剂”多巴胺,沉浸在自己喜欢的音乐中的你获得的乐趣,可以替代你吃慰藉食物时的快乐感觉,而且音乐对健康没有任何负面影响作用。
4. Singing With A Group Of People Makes You Happier
和一群人一起合唱会让你更快乐
Ever thought people that sing in a choir look a bit…too happy? Well, as it turns out, it’s not just your imagination. Science actually explains what makes them so happy. And the best part of it is, even less-than-great singers experienced the same positive effects.
有没有想过合唱团的人看起来有点儿......太欢乐了?嗯,事实证明,它不只是你的想象而已。其实科学可以解释是什么让他们如此高兴欢乐。并且最好的部分在于:即使对不那么出色的歌手也同样有积极的影响效果。
What does this mean for you? Hopefully, that the next time you get the chance to have a sing-along with someone else, you take it, instead of worrying about how you will be received. It’s very likely to cheer you up! One of the studies listed also suggest that singing together increases bonding. And don’t worry, if you feel like you’re just too shy, you can stick to singing in the shower. But just make sure you do it a bit more often.
这对于你而言又意味着什么呢?如果下次有人邀请你一起唱,你要欣然接受这样一个难得的机会,别再担心你是否合拍的问题啦,合唱会让你很开心!另外还有研究表明,一起唱歌可以拉近亲密度。不要担心,如果你觉得自己在大家面前羞于开口唱歌,你可以在淋浴时自己唱歌,但你要坚持做下去。
5. Learning To Play An Instrument As A Kid Makes You More Successful Later
从小学乐器会让你日后生活更成功
Research shows a noticeable correlation between learning to play an instrument as a child, and becoming successful later in life. So if you were always upset with your parents for forcing you to play the violin—or like me, the piano—take a minute to be grateful. I just thanked my father. One of my biggest regrets these days is that I never actually tried to learn to play the piano properly.
研究表明,从小学乐器与以后成功的生活之间有着明显的相关性。所以,如果你总反感你的父母强迫你拉小提琴,或像我一样厌烦弹钢琴,感恩一下父母的激励督促吧。我真的很感谢我的父亲。现在我的一个最大遗憾就是我从来没有真正地尝试着去认真地学弹钢琴。
6. It Improves Your Memory
音乐会提高记忆力
The interesting part about the research is that it shows music helps your brain develop in multiple areas, one of the most significant being your memory. So if you’re troubled by a bad memory, learning to play an instrument is something you should consider.
有关研究的最有趣部分是:研究表明音乐有助于开发大脑在多个领域的智力,其中效果最明显的是你的记忆力提高了。所以,如果你被记性不好这个问题所困扰,你应该考虑学一门乐器了。

摘要:根据最新研究显示,相对于其他年龄段的人,将近30到40出头这个年龄段的人普遍感到工作满意度较低、情绪衰竭度较高。
It is a popular internet thing to focus on the upside of being in your 30s, and it is nice to know how to do basic modern-human-being things like paying your taxes and cooking a simple meal. But it can be a less-rosy story at work: People in their late 20s to early 40s tend to report lower levels of job satisfaction and higher levels of emotional exhaustion than other age groups, according to new research.
There’s the obvious reason: These tend to be the ages that people have young children at home, and the researchers did find that this group reported feeling increasingly crunched for time. But adding to that pressure, co-worker support also tends to dissipate at this age. BPS Research Digest interprets the findings:
人们喜欢在网上关注30岁后的种种好事。30岁以后,你会掌握各种现代人类必备基本技能,比如说如何纳税和做煎蛋饭菜。但是在工作上事情就不那么美好了:根据最新研究显示,相对于其他年龄段的人,将近30到40出头这个年龄段的人普遍感到工作满意度较低、情绪衰竭度较高。
熬过40岁工作越来越顺心
一个显而易见的原因是:处于这一年龄段的人往往负担着养育幼子的责任——该研究发现,这些人群往往感到时间上越来越有压迫感。不仅如此,在这一年龄段,同事间的合作关系也开始涣散。英国心理学会博客对这一现象作出了如下解释:
Support from co-workers probably dips in midlife as peers compete for scarce resources (promotion bottlenecks are often encountered during this career stage). Also, whereas younger counterparts are often hungry to forge new social networks, and older workers seek identity-affirming work experiences in their remaining tenure, midlifers find it demanding enough just to maintain existing social networks. Meanwhile, time pressure likely intensifies mid-career as colleagues try to leverage one's knowledge and experience.
在中年时期,同志之间为了争夺稀缺资源(在这个职场阶段,许多人会遭遇升职瓶颈),对彼此的支持程度很可能降低。不仅如此,年轻一辈的职员在饥渴的构建新的社交人脉网络,老一辈的职员则是在任职的中间阶段探寻维护自己的职场地位的方法,如此一来,对这些中年人来说,要维持现有的社交人脉网络就已经够受的了。与此同时,由于其他同事竭力凸显自己的学识和资历,这些中年职员还会感到时间上的压迫感越来越强烈。
But the good news is that after about a decade of suck, things start to pick back up again. Occupational psychologists say that happiness at work recovers when people reach their 40s, and that people in their 50s are more satisfied with their jobs than any other age group. Hang in there, 30-somethings — soon you will be old(er), but at least work will suck less!
但是,好消息是,在十年艰苦的日子之后,这种状况就会好转起来。职业心理学家称,到人们四十几岁的时候,对工作的满意程度就会恢复,而五十多岁的人对自己的工作比任何其他年龄层的人都满意。坚持住,而立之年的人们——很快你们会变老,但至少生活不会这么糟糕了!
1.保持理智,镇定是你工作制胜的法宝。
Keep your head. A calm presence is an invaluable asset.
2.保持距离,友好却不要太亲近,不要向同事袒露太私人的生活细节。
Keep your distance. Be friendly but not over-familiar. Don't confide intimate details to your colleagues.
3.清楚并坚持自己的想法。左右摇摆会让你在别人心目中的形象大打折扣。
Know what you believe in and stick to it. Nothing loses other's respect quicker than inconsistency.
4.做好你的工作,相信自己能胜任。自信是关键,这也会影响到人们对你的态度。
Be good at your job. Know that you're good. Self-respect is the key. It'll show up in the way people deal with you.
5.承认这个事实:你不能总是让所有的人满意,甚至是总让一部分人满意都很难。
Accept that you can't please all the people all the time-or even some of the people all of the time.

摘要:有一份好工作会让你变成更好的母亲吗?调查显示有工作的妈妈会培养出成功的孩子。
Does having a job make you better mum? Employedmothers raise more successful daughters and kindersons, study claims
Researchers analysed data from a gender surveycompleted in 24 countries
有一份好工作会让你变成更好的母亲吗?调查显示有工作的妈妈会培养出成功的孩子。
调查者分析了24个国家的性别分析数据
It found daughters are more likely to be employed iftheir mothers worked
分析发现有工作的妈妈会让女儿更容易找到工作
These daughters also earn more and have more senior positions than those with stay-at-homemothers
同样,有工作妈妈的孩子会得到更多薪水,相对于全职妈妈的孩子,会有更多潜力
And working mothers may also encourage sons to be more caring
此外,有工作的妈妈会给儿子更多鼓励和关心
Going back to work can be a difficult decision for some mothers after having children。
对于一些生过孩子的妈妈来讲,或许是否回去上班是一项艰难的选择。
But a study has found that leaving your child to go to work may have significant benefits onthem later in life。
但一项调查显示,那些生完孩子回去上班的妈妈,还是有诸多好处的。
Daughters of working mothers are more likely to be employed, earn more and have moresenior positions than girls with a stay-at-home parent。
对于那些妈妈有工作的女孩,会更容易找到工作,而且有更多的薪水。
And while it has little impact on a son's employment prospects, working mothers do tend tohave boys who are more caring as adults。
不过,这项研究似乎对男孩子的工作影响显得不是那么的明显,那些有工作的妈妈普遍给他们的儿子更多的照顾。
Researchers from Harvard Business School analysed data from the Family and Changing GenderRoles section of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP)。
这是来自哈佛商学院国际社会家庭与性别角色转换调查项目的一项调查。
The survey covers 24 countries, including North and South America, Australia, Europe, Asiaand the Middle East。
调查涉及24个国家,包括美国北部及南部,澳大利亚,欧洲,亚洲以及中东国家。
They discovered that adult daughters of employed mothers are more likely to be employed thanadult daughters of mothers who stay home full-time when their children are young。
他们发现,那些妈妈有工作的女孩子们比全职妈妈的女儿们更容易找到工作。
When employed, daughters of employed mothers work more hours, are better compensated,and are more likely to hold supervisory positions than daughters of stay-at-home mothers。
当聘用她们时,那些妈妈有工作的女生在工作时会更努力,且有高的报酬,更好被管理。
But at home, daughters of employed mothers do fewer hours of housework each week。
但是那些妈妈有工作的女孩,每周会做较少的家务。
For sons, though, the pattern is different。
不过对于男生来说,会稍微有一些不同。
The researchers found no link between a son's employment and a mother's employment whentheir child is growing up。
那些有工作的妈妈的儿子,在妈妈是否工作与他们工作关系,会在他们长大以后才显示出来。

Stressful situations are sometimes inevitable. Each of us perceives challenges in their own way and reaction to them also varies. How stressful our life is depends not only on us. Other people influence it as well, and this is something we cannot change. Or can we?
压力大的情况有时在所难免。我们每个人都有自己看待挑战的方式,并且对挑战做出的反应也不尽相同。我们生活的压力有多大不仅取决于自己,也取决于他人的影响,而且这是我们无法改变的事情。或者,我们能改变?
What if we do not try to change others (which is a fairly hopeless task), but rather try and change our attitude to stress and tension that we often experience at work?
只需五分钟 工作压力全消除
要是我们不去改变他人(这是相当无望的任务),而是改变我们对待工作中压力和紧张的态度呢?
1. Stretching
1.拉伸
Stretching releases muscle tension that accumulates in your back, shoulders, and neck during the day. 拉伸能释放一天中积压在你背部,肩膀和颈椎的肌肉紧张。
2. Do a short workout
2.做简短的锻炼
Even when your day is extremely busy, do your best and set aside at least 5-10 minutes to do some exercise. There are plenty of exercises you can practice that do not require any special equipment: yoga, oxycise or simple squats – you can pick any kind of workout to your liking. Physical activity will boost your energy level and help you calm down. Working out is beneficial for both your body and mind. 即使你这一天忙得团团转,尽可能留出至少5-10分钟做些运动。你可以做很多并不需要特殊器材的锻炼:瑜伽,有氧运动或简单的蹲起—你可以根据自己的喜好选择任何一种运动。体力活动会提高你的能量水平,并让你平静下来。锻炼有利于身心。
3. Drink a cup of herbal tea
3. 喝一杯花茶
Herbs work miracles. Some of them, such as chamomile and peppermint, are a powerful tool helping to fight stress and anxiety. NASA scientists have recently carried out research into the effect of herbs and found out that peppermint scent decreases tiredness by 20% and reduces frustration by 25%. Make a smarter choice and, while at work, drink herbal tea instead of coffee. 草本植物具有神奇功效。其中,如甘菊和薄荷,是对抗压力和焦虑的强大工具。美国航空航天局的科学家们最近已研究了草本植物的效果,并发现,薄荷的香味能减轻20%的疲劳以及25%的郁闷。做一个更智慧的选择,在工作中,请喝花茶,而非咖啡。
4. Take a stroll
4. 闲逛
Once you find yourself in a different surrounding, you will feel much better. It’s great if your office is located in an environmentally clean place, for example, near a city park. You can then refresh yourself and relax a bit before you dive back into your working routine. If your office is situated in a busy city center, then you can spend your lunch break in a sidewalk cafe. Order your favorite drink and distract yourself by watching people go by. 一旦处在不同的环境中,你会感觉好很多。如果你的办公室位于环境清新的地方,比如位于某城市公园的附近,那简直太好了!你可以在扎入日常工作前清头目并放松。如果你的办公室坐落在繁华的市中心,那么你可以在路边的咖啡馆午休。点一份你最爱的饮品,观察来来往往的人群,以分散注意力。
5. Have a chat
5. 聊会天
Call someone who you know can understand and support you when you feel stressed. Avoid those who you think can increase anxiety and stress. A study shows that communication with close people, such as your friends or parents, produces oxytocin in your body—the hormone that is needed to successfully fight tension and stress. 当你感到鸭梨山大的时候,打电话给你觉得能够理解和支持你的人,避开那些会增加焦虑和压力的人。一项研究表明与亲密的人,比如你的朋友或父母沟通,会产生体内的催产素—成功战胜紧张和压力所需的荷尔蒙。

摘要:找工作真的很像探底想-你必须去做才能得到梦想中的工作或者一段恋情,并不一定是为了开心才这么做。
Let's face it: for most of us, job hunting is a means to an end. Very seldom do you meet anyone who claims to enjoy the process for itself (and when you do, they're generally such wildly extroverted people that they're fairly rare specimens of humanity in the first place).
我们中的大多数人不得不承认,找工作只是为了谋生。很少会有人跟你说他们很享受找工作这个过程。如果真的有人跟你这么说,那么这些人大体上都是非常大胆外向的,而这些人更是凤毛麟角。
In this way, job hunting is a lot like dating – a thing you have to do, in order to get achieve your goal of a dream job or relationship, and not necessarily something you'd do for fun.
所以说,找工作真的很像探底想-你必须去做才能得到梦想中的工作或者一段恋情,并不一定是为了开心才这么做。
That's perfectly OK. In fact, by considering the many ways in which these not-so-fun processes resemble one another, you can figure out ways to maximize the experience to get to the dream-job part that much sooner.
这样完全可以。实际上通过考虑很多条并不有趣又彼此相似的道路之后,你可以找到一条路最大化你的经验从而很快的找到梦想的工作。
Here's how job hunting and dating are basically the same thing:
通过阅读以下几点你会发现找工作其实就像找对象:
5.适应能力是最重要的品质。
Think about the happiest, most successful people you know. What do they have in common? At work and in their personal lives, they bounce back.
When it comes to dating or building your career, the most important thing you can be is resilient. Being able to get up when life knocks you down will keep you from missing opportunities. Plus, resilient people exude confidence, strength, and happiness – attractive traits to hiring managers and everyone else.
想想那些你所知道的最幸福最成功的人。他们有什么共同特征?在工作和私人生活中,他们都能绝地反击。谈及到约会或者构筑职业生涯时,最重要的就是你能有这种适应的能力。当生活将你击垮时能再一次站起来可以使你避免错失良机。而且有适应能力的人浑身都散发出自信,力量和幸福的光芒。这种极具个人魅力的特质会吸引雇主们和其他人的目光。
Finally, being able to regroup, analyze opportunities for change, and move on makes you better at being on your own side, like a good friend or a supportive colleague or partner. In love or in your career, there's nothing more important than that.
最后,如果你具备重新部署的能力,擅于分析变化的事物觉察出机遇并且坚持不懈可以使你成为更好得自己。就像一个好朋友一个支持你的同事或者伴侣。在爱情或者职业生涯,没有比这个更重要的。

摘要:研究发现,快乐的员工并不一定就是具有创造力的员工。工作很愉快很有可能不是好事。
Ever since the founding fathers wrote "and the pursuit of happiness" into the Declaration of Independence, the elusive emotion has become a holy grail of sorts for Americans. We expect to be happy, even believe we are owed happiness by the gods, our work, our family, and our life. Unfortunately, the expectation can sometimes lead to a disappointing reality.
自从国父把“追求幸福”写进《独立宣言》之后,这种微妙的情感就已经成为每一个美国人的“圣杯”了。我们都希望获得幸福,甚至我们还相信幸福是上帝赐予的,是我们从工作,家庭和生活中获得的。然而不幸的是,这些美妙的期待有时并不意味着与现实相符。
André Spicer, professor of organizational behavior at Cass Business School in London, and Carl Cederström, associate professor of organization theory at Stockholm University, have studied the impact of happiness in corporate settings. In a recent article in Harvard Business Review, they discuss their findings.
André Spicer是伦敦卡斯商学院的组织行为学方面的教授,以及Carl Cederström,瑞典斯德哥尔摩大学的组织行为学的副教授,共同研究了在职场环境下幸福感的影响。他们在最近的哈佛商业评论杂志中论述了他们的研究发现。
Spicer and Cederström say the recent trend of companies harnessing "happiness as a way to boost productivity" dates back to the Hawthorne experiments in the 1920s, which involved changing employees' environments to increase productivity at a factory. Since then, this belief has been applied to almost every corporate philosophy--happy employees equal productive employees.
Spicer和Cederström提到,近年来的公司利用“幸福感作为一种促进生产力的方式”的趋势可以追溯至20世纪20年代的霍桑实验,其中包括了改变职员工厂里的工作环境以提高生产力的实验。自此,这个理念几乎应用于所有的公司理念中——快乐的员工就是有创造力的员工。
However, "When you look closely at the research, it's actually not clear that encouraging happiness at work is always a good idea," Spicer and Cederström write. "Most striking is that consciously pursuing happiness can actually drain the sense of joy we usually get from the really good things we experience." Below, find out how the authors' research has found the happiness theory on productivity is a "mere myth."
然而,“当你仔细阅读这一次的研究结果,你会发现实际上提高员工的幸福感并不总能适用于所有的情况,”Spicer和 Cederström在文章中写道。“最令人感到吃惊的是,有意识追求幸福感,实际上会磨光了那些平常让我们真正感到快乐的事情的满足感。”接下来,看一看两位学者的研究是如何发现幸福感提供生产力“只是一个传说”。
Happy workers do not mean productive workers.
发现1:快乐的员工≠有创造力的员工。
Here's the bombshell: "Happiness doesn't necessarily lead to increased productivity," Spicer and Cederström write. A study conducted in British supermarkets found that "the more miserable" employees felt, the greater profits reaped by the company. The study also found a negative relationship between job satisfaction and productivity. Other research has shown the opposite, suggesting that the effect on happiness on productivity remains murky.
这是最爆炸性的发现:“有幸福感不一定就意味着提高生产力。”Spicer和Cederström在文章中写道。通过对英国超市的研究发现:员工们觉得“越痛苦”,公司所获得的利润就越多。研究还发现了工作满意度与生产力之间呈负相关。但也有别的研究结果与这一结果相反,这就说明幸福感对生产力高低的影响仍然不明确。
推荐:四个好方法!让你的创造力源源不断
The pursuit of happiness is "exhausting."
发现2:追求幸福的过程“很累”。
Happiness is thought to energize people and make them more effective. But if you're not happy--certainly a normal emotional state--the pursuit of happiness can be taxing. The authors quote French philosopher Pascal Bruckner, who said, "Unhappiness is not only unhappiness; it is, worse yet, a failure to be happy." Setting yourself up for failure by expecting, or demanding, yourself to be happy will work against you.
幸福感常常被赋予了“给予人动力,做事更有效率”的内涵。不过如果你并不快乐——当然是一个正常的情感状态下——追求幸福是很费劲的。两位作者在文章引用了法国哲学家帕斯卡尔·布吕克内的话:“不快乐不仅仅是不幸的,更糟的是,它是一个失败的幸福。”把自己推向失败的边缘,期待自己,要求自己,这样的幸福只会让你更痛苦。
Happiness is a tool.
发现3:幸福感只是工具。
Happiness, like any other promise of an elusive emotion or spiritual achievement, can be used as a tool for manipulation. Companies use happiness to get more out of their employees, not because they want their employees to be happy. Spicer and Cederström believe that companies continue to rely on the happiness myth because of aesthetics and ideology. "Happiness is a convenient idea that looks good on paper (the aesthetic part). But it's also an idea that helps us shy away from more serious issues at work, such as conflicts and workplace politics (the ideological part)," they write. When happiness is slated as a choice, unhappy employees can be characterized as dysfunctional, which ignores the problems that are actually making the employees unhappy.
快乐的感觉,正如其他难以捉摸的情绪或精神成就的满足感一样,都可以作为工具被利用。公司利用满足感从员工身上获取更多利益,并不是因为他们真的希望员工们获得快乐。Spicer和Cederström认为,公司们之所以一直依赖于“幸福感信念”,是出于对美感与意识形态的追求。“幸福感是一个很方便的纸上概念(美感的部分)。但同时也是一个让我们逃避更多工作上严肃问题(如冲突,办公室政治)的借口(意识形态的部分)。”他们写道。当幸福感被设计成一个选择,不快乐的员工就会被归类为不正常的员工,这样就忽略了员工不快乐的真正原因。
Happy people lose negotiations and get duped.
发现4:快乐的人儿输了争辩还会被骗。
Another study Spicer and Cederström cite found that people in a good mood were less effective at reading deceit in other people. And in corporate settings, research has found that when people are angry they are more effective in negotiations. "This suggests that being happy all the time may not be good for all aspects of our work, or jobs that rely heavily on certain abilities," they write. "In fact, for some things, happiness can actually make us perform worse."
Spicer和 Cederström在文中提到了另外一个研究,结果发现,心情愉快的人们辨别他人说谎的能力相对较弱。在职场的环境下,研究还发现当人们的情绪越易怒,他们在谈判中更游刃有余。“这就证明了随时保持愉快的心情并不利于工作的所有方面,还可能不适用于需要某种技能的职业岗位。”他们在文章中说道。“实际上,对于处理某些事情,快乐感会让我们表现得更糟糕。”
The expectation trap.
发现5:预期陷阱。
When you expect work to make you happy, it makes you expect your boss to cater to your emotional needs. The writers mention a study by researcher Susanne Ekmann, which found that employees who had an expectation that work would make them happy were confused psychologically about the role their boss played in their lives. Instead of looking at their bosses for who they really were, they viewed them as "surrogate spouses or parents." When the employees did not receive the "expected emotional response" from their managers, "these employees felt neglected and started overreacting."
当你期待自己能从工作中获得幸福感,这就让你不自觉产生“老板迎合你的要求”的情感需求。两位作者在文章中提到了Susanne Ekmann的一个研究,研究发现,期待从工作中获得幸福感的员工在心理上混淆了老板在现实中的真正角色。他们并没有正视老板实际的角色,而是把他们看作“代理配偶或父母”。当员工们没有从上司身上获得“预期的情感回应”,他们就会觉得自己被忽视甚至会产生过度的反应。

The truth will set you free.
发现6:真相会让你解脱。
All of this forced happiness is a bad thing, Spicer and Cederström say. If you're not happy, it's fair to feel that way. "In reality, work--like all other aspects of life--is likely to make us feel a wide range of emotions," they write. "Happiness, of course, is a great thing to experience, but nothing that can be willed into existence." The duo write that the less we actively pursue happiness through our jobs, the more likely we are to experience a sense of "joy which is spontaneous and pleasurable, and not constructed and oppressive."
所有的这些强迫性的幸福感都不是好的事情,Spicer和Cederström说道。如果你觉得不开心,其实也很正常。“实际上,在工作中——甚至生活中的方方面面——或多或少都会让我们产生不一样的情感。”他们写道。“当然,幸福感是很棒的体验,但是我们不能强求。”两位学者都认为,我们从工作中追求的幸福感程度越少,我们就更容易体验到那种“无意识的,愉悦的,非人为的无压迫的快乐。”

虽然看起来很奇怪,但我们有时候的确能够从挑战和压力,甚至是从不愉快的状况中有所成长。下面读文网小编为大家带来职场双语阅读:从工作中找到乐趣,希望大家喜欢!
If you read one more article on happiness in the workplace, you're going to lose it.
如果你再阅读一篇关于职场幸福感的文章,你很快就会失去它。
Sometimes, we assume that finding meaning is all about saving the world, feeding the hungry, or housing the homeless. But it's not limited to that. Psychologist Todd Hall defines meaningful work as "work that contributes to the well-being of others in a way that uniquely expresses and defines who we are."
有时候,我们会认为,寻找意义意味着拯救世界,救助贫寒。但还不限于这些。心理学家Todd Hall 把有意义的工作定义为“以一种独一无二的方式表达和体现我们个人价值,对他人的幸福作出贡献的工作。”
Here are some ways to find that meaning in your work — even if you think your job is a soul-sucking black hole of boredom.
下面有3种方法能够帮助你找到工作的意义——即使你认为你的工作完全只是一件被黑洞吞噬灵魂的无趣的事情。
When you're in a job that you don't enjoy, you probably find the situation absolutely infuriating — why are you stuck in this mess?
当你不喜欢你的工作,也许你会发现这样的状况非常恼火——为什么还要陷在这个泥坑里呢?
But instead of dwelling on the frustration of the current situation, find meaning by connecting your past, present, and future.
不过,相比于苦苦纠缠于当前的窘境,还不如把你的过去,现在和将来联系起来,寻找其中的意义吧。
Now, imagine a future where you will no longer be in a job you despise, where you'll be able to continue pursuing your goals, and where you'll finally have a career that provides both meaning and happiness. Your current situation will get you there eventually — you just have to be patient.
那么现在,你可以想象一下,你即将不再停留在这一份你鄙视的工作了,有一份工作可以继续追求自己的目标,可以找到让你感到有意义和幸福感。当前的状况能够让你最终达到那个目标,你只需要耐心等待。
By reflecting on the past and connecting it to the future, you can make your present unhappiness circumstance more bearable.
通过反思过去,联系将来,你能够让自己更宽容地接受当前的不满足状态。
As quirky as it seems, sometimes we really benefit from challenging, stressful, and, yes, even unhappy situations. Try these three strategies to look at your work life through a new lens, and realize that by creating meaning, you can also create job satisfaction.
虽然看起来很奇怪,但我们有时候的确能够从挑战和压力,甚至是……对!从不愉快的状况中有所成长。尝试以上这三种方法,并以全新的角度查看自己的工作生活,并从创造意义中发现你的工作意义,还能产生职业满足感。

How much time are you actually working in your workday?
效率高的公司看重的是结果而非过程。他们的时间表通常安排得比较松散,允许员工以自己最佳的工作方式工作。
The most productive companies are those that reward results instead of mere activity. They often have loose schedules and allow their workers to work in the ways they work best.
他们不必待在办公室打发时间,发邮件或是开些不必要的小会。公司允许员工自主的完成工作,然后下班回家。
They don’t stay in the office for the sake of clocking time, sending emails, or having meaningless meetings. They allow their workers to get their work done…. and then get out of the office.
但是,很多公司都不是这样的工作方式。

Get Your Work Done First
要是你发现自己一直在抱怨有太多事还没做,或者从没及时的完成工作,那么你应该问问你自己,“工作期间我到底花了多少时间来工作?
If you find yourself constantly complaining you have too much to do, or you never get out of work on time, you need to ask, “How many hours am I actually working in my workday?
你也许会发现你用了很多时间逃避工作,而不是完成工作。
You might find that you are spending more time avoiding work than doing it.
