双语职场：大忙人合理安排时间必备的三步

admin — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 07:19:47 +0000

不知道你会不会过完一天发现本来打算做的事还是没做完，很想老天给自己一天48小时，一分钟掰成两分钟用？其实大多数情况下并不是时间少，而是真正用来做事的时间缩水了。复杂的咱不提，就三个小步骤，慢慢养成有效利用时间的习惯吧。

　　Step 1: Find a place to sit without distractions. Think about what is important to you then get your paper and pencil and make a list. This list should include things that you would like to accomplish. Keep it short。

　　第一步：找一个不受干扰的工作环境。用纸笔列出需要做的重要事情，这些必须包含你想要完成的任务。清单要尽量简短。

　　Step 2: Make a realistic deadline. Put some time aside every day to work toward your goal. It doesn’t have to be much — maybe only an hour. The important thing is that for that hour you focus solely on completing your task, nothing else should be on your mind. You’ll be surprised at what you can accomplish when you focus。

　　第二步：给自己定一个最后期限。每天留出一些时间为实现你的目标去努力，不需要太长，只有1小时也可以。重要的一点在于，那一个小时里你要心无旁骛地完成任务。集中精力，你会对自己的成果感到惊讶。

　　Step 3: Don’t be too hard on yourself. If you focus only on your failures or tasks that you still need to accomplish, you’ll get overwhelmed and/or depressed and you’ll never accomplish anything。

　　第三步：别对自己过于苛刻。如果你只看得到自己的过错和没做完的事情，你就很容易感到失望，以致完成不了任何事情。

白领困惑：选择职业该求稳定还是重兴趣

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 04:37:31 +0000

　现如今，就业压力不断增大，越来越多的人被迫只能做自己不敢兴趣的工作。但大家有没有考虑过，所做的工作不是自己的兴趣所在的话，是要求稳还是要冒险去另辟一片天地？

　　问：我现在正在攻读会计学硕士，目前已经修完第一学期的课程。现在，我正在考虑转到精算系，因为我觉得会计很无聊。在目前的经济环境下，我到底是应该从事我所感兴趣的领域，还是追求稳定的职业呢？

　　Q: I am doing a master’s degree in accounting and have completed my first semester. Now I’m thinking of shifting to actuarial studies, as I don’t find accounting very exciting. In the current economy, should I pursue something I feel passionate about or go for a field with more job security?

　　答：在当前的经济形势下，无论你从事何种职业，就业稳定都很难找到稳定的就业机会。专家们表示，光是追求预计能够带来稳定就业的领域是不够的。你希望追求的方向应该是你所热爱的、能够借以维持生计的职业，并且能够运用到一些你可以轻松转换到其它领域的技能。

　　A: Job security is extremely hard to come by these days, no matter what profession you choose. It isn’t enough to pursue a field with perceived stability, say the experts. You’ll want to find something you feel passionate about, can make a living doing and that involves using skills you can easily apply to other fields。

　　Sustainable Circles Corp。的总裁兼首席执行长詹姆斯·爱尔森(James Elsen)表示，要想取得事业上的成功，热爱是必要条件，但并非充份条件。追求你所热爱的职业能够为你带来创造力和活力，而这些都是从事某项你自己都感到无所谓的工作所无法得到的东西。Sustainable Circles Corp。是sustainlane.com的出版商，这是一份“绿色生活”指南，同时也发布一些空缺职位。

　　’Passion is a necessary but not sufficient condition for success in the workplace,’ says James Elsen, president and chief executive officer of Sustainable Circles Corp., publisher of sustainlane.com, a ‘green living’ guide that includes job listings. ‘Pursuing what you love will give you access to creativity and energy that you would not otherwise be able to tap while slogging to a job you are indifferent about.’

　　职业经理人咨询公司Stanton Chase International的董事总经理保罗(Paul Herrerias)表示，需要谨记的是，既然到目前为止你学习会计只有一个学期的时间，这个时候放弃会计可能还所言过早。不妨给你自己一些时间，让自己成为这个领域的专家，这样你也可以更好地了解到底哪个方向更适合自己，由此做出更加明智的决定。比如说，你可以和业内人士多加接触，参加网络社交群体如 LinkedIn.com等等。他说，最忌讳的事情就是盲目追求某个你还毫无所知的领域。

　　Bear in mind that since you’re only one semester in, it may be too early to rule out accounting. Give yourself some more time and become an expert in the field so you can make an educated decision about whether it’s right for you, suggests Paul Herrerias, a managing director at executive-consulting firm Stanton Chase International. Talk to people working in the field and join networking groups on sites like LinkedIn.com, for example. ‘You can’t get excited about something you know nothing about,’ he says。

　　高端宠物狗护理和美容设施连锁店Dogtopia的创始人兼CEO艾米·尼克尔斯(Amy Nichols)则表示，不要低估会计等需求量很大领域的学位的含金量，尤其是在目前的经济状况下。她说，拥有一个求职面相对宽泛的学位在目前的形式下是很有价值的。

　　Don’t discount the virtues of a degree in a high-demand field such as accounting, especially in the current economy, adds Amy Nichols, founder and CEO of Dogtopia, a chain of upscale dog daycare and spa facilities. ‘Having a broader degree is more valuable in times like these,’ she says。

　　尼克尔斯女士过去主修心理学，在电信行业工作多年，由于她对狗的热爱，最后她选择了目前的事业。在 Verizon(后来成为Bell Atlantic)供职的五年当中，她从事过四份不同的岗位。尼克尔斯女士说，在大公司工作的经历，让她获得了宝贵的培训机会和工作经验；如果她当初选择毕业后就立即自立门户，她可能永远也没有机会获得这些体验。而如果没有她通过在大公司工作所逐渐积累起来的信用和知识，她为自己的企业获得商业贷款的机会可能也会微乎其微。尼克尔斯女士说，会计可能不是那么令人激动或兴奋的职业，但是要想成功经营企业，你就必须要掌握相关的技能。

　　Ms. Nichols got her degree in psychology and worked in the telecom industry for years before pursuing a career that caters to her passion for dogs. In the five years she was with Verizon (then Bell Atlantic)， she held four different positions. By working for a large company, she says she received invaluable training and experience that she might never have obtained if she tried to striking out on her own right after college. And without the credibility and knowledge she gained, securing a business loan might have been an impossibility, she says. ‘[Accounting] might not be that thrilling or exciting, but you need to have those skills to run a successful business,’ she says。

　　尼克尔斯女士表示，与此同时，上班族在朝九晚五之余，也不应该停止对自己所热爱的事业的追求。试着积累一些资金，以便自己将来创业或者转行。

　　In the mean time, nothing should stop you from pursuing your interests on the side while working a 9-to-5 job to pay the bills, says Ms. Nichols. Stow away some money for a future business or career change。

　　无论你如何选择，你的选择都不会错，至少从CareerCast.com最近发布的美国前景最好和最差的职业排名来看是这样。会计和精算都名列前茅，精算名列第二，会计则排在第十。

　　Whichever way you go, it seems you’ll be choosing well, at least according to a recent study released from CareerCast.com ranking the best and worst occupations in the U.S. Both accounting and actuarial science made it into the top 10; actuary came in second place and accounting came in tenth。

职场英语：和各国客户沟通的十大技巧

admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 03:18:35 +0000

在商务活动中，掌握一定的和客户沟通的技巧是十分必要的，这能让你的工作开展顺利很多。以下就是在和客户沟通中需要注意的点。

1. 欧洲人、美国人是非常喜欢那种interactive的人的，你不需要太拘谨，不需要什么都yes。

2.在两个人对话的时候，适当的时候要称呼对方。假如你在对话中经常称呼对方，对方也会称呼你，这样可以让客户很容易对你有印象，这样对后续跟踪客户好处多多。非英语(论坛)的名字，象北欧人的名字，我们根本不知道怎么发音，很多法国人的名字不是按英语发音的，要注意，你不会读可以直接问客户，这是不失礼的。荷兰和德国人的姓有很多是2个单词的，一定不能只读最后一个单词。i.e. Caroline van Bommel, 这个女的你可以称呼为：Ms. van Bommel。气氛足够好的情况下，你可以直接称呼对方的单名.

3.母语是英语的人说话可能会很快，没有停顿的。你可以让别人稍微慢一点，这是不失礼的。千万不要没有听懂就接客户的话。否则客户会觉得和你沟通很困难。很容易就走掉了。

4.客户坐下来以后，你可以问客户你可以给我多少时间。How much time are you available? 这样可以体现你对客户行程的尊重，也可以让你自己根据时间来掌握沟通的内容。

5.老外只要坐下来以后，要让老外多说，在你完全明白的情况下，再介绍你自己。和欧洲人美国人谈的时候，你可以让客户简单的说一下此行的目的。希望找一些什么样的供应商。有的客户不会直接回答你，有的客户会告诉你。

6.假如你有幸碰到头衔是Director，Vice President等职务的买家，要多说一些战略性的东西。这些人来展会不是为了1个柜2个柜来的。他们很多是来找战略性伙伴的(Strategic Partners)。所以你要有放长线钓大鱼的功力。假如你自己工厂实力可以的话，要主动的邀请这些人访问你的工厂.这些职位的人很多学历很高，有些人有 MBA background. 所以，有点喜欢听比较酸的话。这些人开口闭口就是：value, global supply chain, private label, costs, partnership，bottom line等等。你可以这样说：

We are one of the top 3 private label suppliers in the global market. Our producing capacity is more than 50,000,000,000,000/units each week. Furthermore, you know, the knowledge and the know-how sometimes is more important than the machines and equipments. Fortunately, we have accumulated enough producing and management know-how from our long-term co-operation with XXXX company. I am sure we can help you to reduce your international sourcing costs, we can help you to increase your bottom line. just let me know how I can create value.

7.客户有权利问你很多问题，其实你也是有权利问客户的。下列问题你可是试着问问看，对你了解客户好处多多：How can you evaluate your suppliers? 很多客户不愿意直接回答你，因为确实太难了，你可以补充一句, just generally speaking, not the detailed principles. What’s your purchasing plan for next season?

假如是零售商：How many stores does your company have?

假如是中间商：Do you distribute your goods only in your domestic market? Or in the whole Europe? Which country is your biggest market? 不能直接问谁是你最大的客户，这样太敏感了。

8.在展览会最后一两天的时候，你可以问： What do you think about the trade show? Did you find everything which you need exactly? 你问这种问题很容易可以从客户那里得到你们整个行业的情况，客户的观点对你是很有价值的。同时，你也间接的问客户了客户还有什么东西没有找到，说不定你可以帮上客户的忙，假如你刚好也有这种产品的话，客户也会把定单下到你这里。

9.跟客户介绍的时候，不要总是说, Our quality is very good. 展位上面大家时间都不多。不要说一些客人没有办法衡量的话，怎么样才叫好呢？大公司的买家基本上都是至少大学学历，很多都受过专门的采购培训，他们内部有一套定量的评估体系的。所以，最好是用你本行业的定量术语来表达，假如本行业没有定量术语，就直接说，We have supplied our products for XXXXX company for 5 years, and XXXX company is quiet satisfied for our quality. So I believe we can meet or exceed your quality requirements. 这个XXXX公司最好是客户应该知道的，和客户差不多同类档次的，或者高一点点，不要高太多的。否则要误解的。

10.其实，大公司的买手最关心的不是price, quality, 而是: reliability. 差不多的商品，买手从不同的供应商购买，价格有点小差距，国外的公司是可以接受的。但是，买手找的供应商出问题的话，那问题就大了，欧洲还好一点，美国可以马上就走人。所以，我们假如能站在客户的角度考虑问题，要让买手觉得你在所有的供应商里面，你是最reliable的，包括质量，价格，长期供货能力等等。

总之，你是在和客户沟通，而不是被审问。一定要interactive。

升职也烦恼：白领的健康定时炸弹(图)

admin — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 10:10:30 +0000

升职对于健康来说是定时炸弹

　　While some 13 million Americans are out of work these days, those still with jobs might have a strange new thing to worry about–getting a promotion can be bad for you, a new study suggests。

　　虽然大约有1300万的美国人现在没有工作，不过那些有工作的人现在可能要去担心一件奇怪的事情：根据一项新的研究显示，升职可能对你有害。

　　British researchers found that when people get promoted, they suffer on average about 10 percent more mental strain and are less likely to find the time to go to the doctor。

　　英国的研究人员发现，当人们获得提升时，他们平均会增加10%的精神压力，而且还往往找不出时间去看医生。

　　”Getting a promotion at work is not as great as many people think. Our research finds that the mental health of managers typically deteriorates after a job promotion, and in a way that goes beyond merely a short-term change,” said Chris Boyce of the University of Warwick. “There are no indications of any health improvements for promoted people other than reduced attendance at GP surgeries [i.e. doctors visits], which may itself be something to worry about rather than celebrate.”

　　“在工作上获得提升并不像很多人想的那么棒。我们的研究发现，经理的心理健康往往在提升之后下降，而且在某些方面，这不仅仅是个短期的变化。”Warwick大学的Chris Boyce说，“没有任何一种迹象显示在获得提升之后，健康水平也会提高。唯一的变化是去看医生的次数变少了，而这本身可能也是需要担心而非庆祝的事情。”

　　Other research has found stress can be deadly, raising the risk of everything from the common cold to cancer. Other recent revelations about stress:

　　其他的研究发现，压力可能是致命的，它会提升包括从普通的感冒到癌症在内的所有疾病的患病机会。近期发现的其他一些和压力有关的因素包括：

　　* Stress makes us forget things. 压力让我们健忘。

　　* Happily married women suffer less stress. 婚姻幸福的女性压力较小。

　　* Job stress in particular has been shown to fuel disease. 工作压力尤其容易使疾病恶化。

　　Those who were promoted reported on average a 20 percent fall in their visits to a doctor following their promotion. The researchers figure this owed to the stress of the new job and the sudden lack of time。

　　升职的人表示，升职后他们去看医生的次数减少了20%。研究者们认为这是由于新工作的压力和时间的突然减少造成的。

　　The research, using data from an annual survey of Brits, included information about about 1,000 people who had been promoted. The findings will be presented later this month at a conference of the Royal Economic Society。

　　根据英国年度调查资料所进行的这项研究，涵盖了大约1000名刚获提升的人。这项研究结果将会在这月底的皇家经济协会的会议上发表。

职场成功必备：“情商”的十二个方面

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 02:45:52 +0000

　自从丹尼尔·戈尔曼写了《情商》这本书，这个主题似乎自动进入了全世界的成功学领域。但究竟什么是情商？为什么它如此重要？

　　其实原因显而易见。许多人发现他们在传统的领域获得了成功，但仍不满足。创造生命的价值需要有强大的人际关系，而强大的人际关系需要情商的支撑。

　　那么，究竟怎样才能造就较高的情商？我将在下面列出与之有关的十二个方面并作简短的描述。

　　Emotional Intelligence 情商的12个方面

　　Ever since Daniel Goleman wrote Emotional Intelligence, the subject seems to have made its way into success literature all over the world. But what exactly is emotional intelligence and why is it so important?

　　Well, the “why” is quite clear. Many people find themselves successful in all the traditional ways (i.e. with money and all its flashy friends) but still not satisfied. Creating meaning in life requires strong relationships and doing so requires emotional intelligence。

　　So, how does one go about creating a greater sense of emotional intelligence? In this post, I will outline the twelve aspects involved and offer brief descriptions of each:

　　Awareness. Recognising individual emotions as they occur, understanding why they occur, and understanding the effects (both good and bad) they have on you。

　　Control. Resisting impulses and urges (delaying gratification)， remaining calm even as chaos ensues, and always thinking clearly when those around you can’t。

　　Assessment. Knowing strengths and weaknesses, learning from mistakes, and constantly striving to build on what you have in an attempt to make yourself better。

　　Vision. Creating a sense of direction in your life, having the foresight to anticipate problems/needs before they arise, and paying attention to the details。

　　Creativity. Thinking outside the box, developing a tolerance for ambiguity, and maintaining an openness to change。

　　Innovation. Seeking out unconventional solutions to problems, keeping an open mind to novelty in the world, and applying creativity in practical ways。

　　Ambition. Setting tough but attainable goals, constantly raising the bar in pursuit of excellence, and feeding the need for achievement whenever you can。

　　Initiative. Taking the first step when opportunity arises, never sitting back because it’s not in your “job description”, and bending the rules (occasionally) when it comes to making progress。

　　Conscientiousness. Accepting responsibility for personal performance, adopting a focused approach in your work, and understanding that nobody else is to blame for your shortcomings。

　　Adaptability. Admitting when you’ve failed, remaining flexible in the face of obstacles, and never being too stubborn to change。

　　Independence. Living with an unshakable sense of who you are, making your own decisions in the face of peer pressure, and acting despite tremendous risk and doubt。

　　Optimism. Understanding we all make mistakes, choosing to persist no matter how many times you’ve failed, and always remaining hopeful that success is just around the corner。

　　Those of you who are familiar with Zen Habits know that a great way to create a habit is to do so in a month-long trial. Start at the top of the list and work your way down over the next year. Or simply choose whichever you feel will benefit you most right now and take it from there。

　　For example, to create a greater sense of awareness you could start meditating, even if it’s for only five minutes a day. For assessment, you could take some time off to be alone with your thoughts, by treating yourself to a solo lunch or spending the afternoon at a local park. Or just drive to work with the radio off。

　　Slowly but surely, you’ll begin to see the changes. As long as you take the time to really imprint these new behaviours they’re bound to stick and you’re bound to feel the difference。

职场秘籍：同事之间应该如何称呼(图)

admin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 06:47:57 +0000

欢迎你来本公司工作！

　　F: Welcome aboard!

　　欢迎你来本公司工作！

　　C: Thank you, I’m delighted to be working here, Mr. Buchwald。

　　谢谢。我很高兴能来这里上班，布奇华先生。

　　F: Call me Buck, will you? My name is Reginald Buchwald but everybody calls me Buck. It’s easier。

　　叫我布客就可以了。我的全名是雷奇纳客·布奇华，但是大家都叫我布客。这样比较方便。

　　C: I’d prefer to call you Mr. Buchwald. Isn’t it rather disrespectful to make a nickname out of one’s family name?

　　我更愿意称呼您布奇华先生。用别人的姓做昵称，不是很不礼貌吗？

　　F: Well, President Eisenhower was known as Ike. Everybody in this company all the way up and down the line is called by his or her first name。

　　嗯，艾森豪威尔总统也被呢称为艾克。我们公司的上上下下都是直呼每个人的姓。

　　F: It’s been our tradition ever since the company was small. And don’t worry about the ‘disrespectful’ business. OK?

　　在我们公司规模很小的时候这就已经形成传统。不要担心不礼貌的事了，好吗？

　　C: I’ll try。

　　我会试试看。

　　F: Good. But when there are outsiders, like business people from other companies, it might be good to address your higher-ups as Mr., Ms. or whatever is appropriate. To those outside the company, it may be interpreted as a sign of flippancy or lax discipline. Get it?

　　好。不过。如果有外人在时，比如其他公司的人，最好能称呼你的上司为先生、女士或任何适当的称谓。对外人而言，我们的习惯可能会是轻率的和纪律松懈的表现。明白吗？

　　C: Yes, sir。

　　是的，先生。

　　F: (Laughing) And don’t ’sir’ me either. Now I’ll show you your private office。

　　(笑着说)也不要叫我先生。现在，我带你去看你的私人办公室。

职场秘籍：三十分钟迅速快乐的法则

admin — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 16:29:10 +0000

　Maybe you’re feeling down because of the financial crisis. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed by holiday tasks. Or maybe you’re just having a lousy day。

　　也许你正因为金融危机而感到沮丧，也许你正被假期工作压得喘不过气来，也许你今天恰恰诸事不顺。

　　If so, you can make yourself happier–right now. In the next thirty minutes, check off as many of the following items as possible. Each one will lift your mood, as will the mere fact that you’ve tackled and achieved some concrete goals; by doing so, you boost your feelings of self-efficacy, which can boost happiness。

　　果真如此的话，你应该让自己快乐起来–马上。在接下来的三十分钟时间里，尽可能多地清点下列几项。每一项都会让你的心情好一点，就好像你真的解决了具体问题、完成了具体目标似的。这种做法可以提升你的自我效能感，从而带给你快乐。

　　1. Boost your energy. 打起精神。

　　Stand up and pace while you talk on the phone or, even better, take a brisk ten-minute walk outside. Research shows that when people move faster, their metabolism speeds up, and the activity and sunlight are good for your focus, your mood, and the retention of information. Plus, because of “emotional contagion”, if you act energetic, you’ll help the people around you feel energetic, too。

　　打电话时站起来走动走动，能到户外轻快地散十分钟步则更好。研究证明，当人快速活动时，新陈代谢会加快。而且，户外活动和阳光有助于你精力集中，心情变好，记忆力增强。另外，由于”情绪感染”，如果你表现得精力充沛，那么你周围的人也会感到精力充沛。

　　2. Count your blessings. 数数摊在你身上的好事。

　　Take ten minutes to think about all the things in your life that are going right, about all the things that other people do to help you, about all the things that you’re thankful for. In the tumult of everyday life, it’s very easy to focus on the negative and to lose sight of what really matters。

　　花十分钟想想生活中所有顺当的事，想想别人对你的所有帮助，想想所有让你心怀感恩的事情。在日常生活的纷扰中，人很容易想到消极的事情，忽略掉真正重要的东西。

　　3. Reach out to friends. 联络朋友。

　　Make a lunch date or send an email to a friend you haven’t seen in a while. Having warm, close bonds with other people is the KEY to happiness, so take the time to stay in touch. Somewhat surprisingly, socializing boosts the moods not only of extroverts, but also of introverts。

　　如果有段日子没见某个朋友，不妨约个饭局或发封电子邮件。与他人保持温馨亲密的联络是幸福的关键，所以，要花时间跟人联系。奇怪的是，社交不仅能让外向型人心情愉快，对内向型人同样有效。

　　4. Perform an action that reflects your values. 实施一件能体现自己价值的事。

　　Do you think organ donation is a good idea? Sign up online to be one yourself; it takes less than a minute. Worried about climate change? Refill your water bottle from the tap instead of buying a couple of bottles throughout the day. The First Splendid Truth holds that to work on happiness, we should think about feeling good, feeling bad, and feeling right, in an atmosphere of growth. Living up to your values will help you “feel right”。

　　你支持器官捐献吗？那就在网上报名成为一名捐献者吧，这要不了一分钟的时间。担心气候改变吗？那就用直接喝自来水来代替一天买好几瓶瓶装水吧。人生第一真理是：为了幸福，我们应该把感觉良好、感觉不好、感觉舒服都当成是成长过程中必不可少的组成部份。按自己的价值观生活会让你”感觉舒服”。

　　5. Rid yourself of a nagging task. 解决一件烦心事。

　　Answer a difficult email, do an errand you’ve been putting off, or call to make that dentist’s appointment. Crossing an irksome chore off your to-do list will give you a big rush of energy and relief。

　　回一封棘手的电子邮件；处理一件你一直在拖延的事情；打电话给牙医进行预约。解决掉很多烦心事中的一件会让你突然浑身是劲，心情轻松。

　　6. Create a calmer environment. 创造更加平静的环境。

　　Clear some physical and mental space around yourself by sorting papers, pitching junk, cleaning a closet, answering a few emails, filing, or even just making your piles neater. A large stack of little tasks can feel overwhelming, but often just a few minutes of work can make a sizeable dent. Try to get in the habit of using the “one minute rule”–i.e., never postpone any task that can be completed in less than one minute. And always make your bed in the morning!

　　把文件分分类，倒倒垃圾，清理一下壁橱，回几封电邮，整理整理档案，甚至只是让文件堆放得更整洁一些。做这些事情可以给自己的身心更多的空间。很多繁琐的事情加在一起会让人没了头绪，喘不过气。但是，常常只需几分钟，就可能解决掉很大一部分。要努力养成利用”一分钟规则”的习惯–即绝不把任何不到一分钟就可以解决的事情押后。还有，每天早上要整理床铺！

　　7. Lay the groundwork for some future fun. 为未来的快乐做铺垫。

　　Order a book you’ve been wanting to read (not something you think you should read) or plan an excursion to a museum, hiking trail, sporting event, gardening store, movie theater–whatever sounds like fun. Studies show that having fun on a regular basis is a pillar of happiness, and anticipation is an important part of that pleasure. Try to involve friends or family, as well; people enjoy almost all activities more when they’re with other people than when they’re alone。

　　订购一本自己想看的书(不是那种你认为自己该看的书)或者定个去博物馆、去远足、去看体育比赛、去园艺店、去电影院的计划–只要听着有意思，去哪儿都行。研究显示：定期娱乐一下是快乐的基础，而期待是那种快乐感中很重要的一部分。还有，要尽量邀上朋友或家人一起去。任何的活动，只要跟其他人在一起，感觉都会比自己单独一人时更好。

　　8. Do a good deed. 做好事。

　　Make an email introduction of two people who could help each other, or set up a blind date, or shoot someone a piece of useful information or gratifying praise. Do good, feel good–this really works. Also, although we often believe that we act because of the way we feel, in fact, we often feel because of the way we act. When you act in a friendly way, you’ll strengthen your feelings of friendliness for other people。

　　用电邮介绍俩个互相能帮上忙的人认识；安排不相识的男女约会；告诉某人一项有用的信息或夸夸他。做好事会让人心情好–绝对有效。而且，尽管我们常常以为行为是随着感觉走的，但事实上，我们的感觉常常是受行为影响的。当你表现出友好时，你对别人的友善感就会增强。

　　What other strategies have you tried to give yourself a happiness boost?

　　你还做过其它让自己快乐的尝试吗？

职场秘籍：赢得谈判成功的四大秘诀

admin — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 02:33:48 +0000

Using effective questioning

　　问一些有建设性的问题

　　问一些有建设性的问题是成功协商议题的基石。这是给了双方一个机会来表明双方各自在关键议题上的态度，例如目标及期望。多问一些开放式的问题将可以尽早给予彼此阐述观点的机会。

　　例如，你可以这样问”What are you hoping to achieve today?

　　Recovering from offending someone

　　克服对方敌对意识

　　谈判中往往会遇到对方强烈的敌对意识，这时候你必须设法克服它。通常的方法是接受对方的“排斥”，但将之转化为正面的作用。

　　你可以说”If I seemed sharp a few moments ago, be assured that it was only due to my determination to make this work.”

　　Showing humility

　　展现亲和力

　　谈判是双方沟通的过程，所以必须避免陷于一连串的”I’ m right, you’ re wrong”的情形。展现亲和力尊重那些对象，千万不要装作已有所有答案，请把一些议题的控制权让给别人

　　你可以说”That’ s more your area of expertise than mine, so I’ d like to hear more.”

　　Recovering from negotiation breakdown

　　让谈判“起死回生”

　　当对方因愤怒、怨恨或不愿意聆听而使得双方关系濒临决裂的时候，要特别注意具有建设性的对谈。承认错误并且展现诚意是让谈判起死回生的好办法。

　　你可以说”What happened last week was unacceptable as it was unintentional. Shall we move on?”In business, skilled negotiation can be the difference between making a million dollar contract and being fired。

双语：职场真的需要天天加班吗

admin — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 08:37:49 +0000

职场就是这般的不讲道理，你以为你的“加班”会被领导认可，但没准儿领导还以为你在利用公司的资源做私活……

　　Nowadays things aren’t going smooth. College graduates are having a hard time finding jobs as there are too few job openings, while those who do have jobs are facing staff cutting and salary reduction. In the past many people with jobs coveted better jobs, literally “keeping one eye the bowl and the other on the pan.” The situation now can be described as “many people are grabbing for one bowl”. Many people are holding fast their bowls–even though they are wood ones which cannot compare with unbreakable iron bowls or luxurious gold bowls–lest other people should grab them awyay。

　　当下年景不好，大学生求职碰壁，职场人裁员减薪，如果说过去大家是吃着碗里的看着锅里的，现在则是一个饭碗无数人在抢，很多人牢牢抱着自己的木饭碗，生怕被他人抢了去。

　　To effectively protect their bowls, many people are trying their utternost to give a good impression of themselves. In addition to conscientiously doing their assigned duty well, many people voluntarily take up many other duties not assigned to them, busy from morning till night like a wound clock. Well, comrades, you see, we do appreciate the attitude of taking such initiative in work! However, somethimes one should not overdo things…Confucius says that “going beyong the limit is just as wrong as falling short”. That is to say, both doing too much and doing too little are open to discussion alike。

　　为了保护好自己的饭碗，很多人使尽浑身解数表现自己，除了兢兢业业做好本职工作，甚至自愿承担了办公室里的诸多分外之事，忙得像一只上足了发条的闹钟，一天到晚走个不停。咳咳，同志们，这种积极向上的工作态度，我们当然是——赞赏的！但有时候，也要注意一个度哇……论语云，过犹不及，也就是说，什么事情做得太过头了和做得不够一样，都是值得商榷的。

　　A former classmate of mine, for example, was so exited when he got his first job that he simply regarded the company with so much affection as his own home. He worked overtime of his own accord and did not go home till very late in the evening. He even dawdled there at weekends, when he had to do with instant noodles as the company’s mess hall was not open on holidays. He voluntarily took up many odd jobs, including sending express mails. He expected that his behavior would leave a good impression on his boss and be the top among all the new hands, thus getting promoted as the first one among them。

　　比如，有位同学刚刚工作，兴奋之情简直难以言表，恨不能把单位当成家一样热爱，每天在单位“加班”到很晚才回家，周六周日也经常在单位泡着，没有食堂就凑合吃点泡面，公司的很多杂事哪怕寄个快递他都一并承担下来，他觉得这样能给领导留个好印象，在刚进去的一拨新人中拔得头筹，最快“晋升”。来源：(http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_486c0f670100j8dc.html?tj=1) – 职场真的需要天天加班吗？_北外网院_新浪博客

　　He didn’t expect that the boss would speak to him some time later like this:” I always see you in your office. I wonder if your spare-time life has been very dull. A young man should go out and see the world when free and make friends with you peers. If you just live a shut-youself-up life, you cannot keep your working enthusiasm for long, so it won’t last long. Besides, if you prolong your work hours and take up everything and help everyboby without discrimination, you won’t be able to concentrate on your own work efficiently.”

　　没想到领导过了一段时间找他谈话，说：老看你呆在单位，是不是业余生活太单调了？年轻人，没事多出去走走，和同龄人交交朋友，生活太封闭会直接影响你对这份工作的长久激情。而且工作时间拖得过长，什么事情都管，谁的忙都帮，自己的本职工作被牵扯精力，效率反而受到影响。”

　　On hearing this, my friend went dumbfounded. He had never expected that his painstakingly designed show would leave his boss with such a poor impression. As a matter of fact, things in working places are often unreasonable like this. You believed that your working overtime would be approved by your boss. However, it may turn out that your boss thought you were perhaps doing some private job by making use of the company’s resources, because he believed that you should be able to finish the work assigned to you within your work hours. You thought your colleagues would appreciate your devotion to work, but they might feel your hardworking exerts too much pressure on their part. Some of them might even make some cynical remarks。

　　这位朋友一听就傻眼了，没想到精心策划的“表现”行动，却给老板留下了不好的印象。其实职场就是这般的不讲道理，你以为你的“加班”会被领导认可，但没准儿领导还以为你在利用公司的资源做私活，因为他觉得给你的工作量在上班时间完全可以搞定。你以为你的“敬业”会被同事赞赏，但没准儿别人却因为你“太努力”而倍感压力，甚至在一旁说你的风凉话。

　　The duration and degree of heating are very important if doing your job is compared to cooking soup in a boiler. High degree of heating or pungent seasoning cannot ensure the good taste of the soup. Sometimes overheated behavior would be seen as “making a deleberate show off” and cause misgivings on the part of others as they would think you were crafty, thus doubting your talent and character。

　　职场上熬一锅汤的火候很重要，不是火越大、料越猛，汤的滋味就越鲜美。有时候，“过火”的表现可能被别人认为是“作秀”、“心眼多”，甚至可能怀疑到你的才干和人品。

　　So I would advise you to knock off when it comes to quitting time so as to keep in step with your colleagues and bear the same pressure with them. If you find that you are always the last one to ture off the light in your office, it is high time you thought over seriously how you could avoid being the last one。

　　所以，该下班就下班，尽量和其他同事保持步调一致，承受相似的工作压力。如果办公室里每天晚上最后一个关灯的人都是你，不如认真考虑一下：怎样才能不做最后一名？

职场取得上司赏识第一步：态度要积极

admin — Sat, 29 May 2010 03:57:06 +0000

　　人们常说，办事不由东，累死也无功。在职场中，也是这样。若能取得老板上司的赏识，工作起来将会顺风顺水，前途无量。反之，若是一直给上司不好的印象，就算你很有能力，埋头苦干，也没人会买你的账。

　　You have to show that you are giving 110% of yourself all the time. If you are going to show up at work, show up and do it well, don’t just do it half way. Put your entire self into it。

　　你必须让人看到，你一直都用110%的努力在工作。如果你想在工作方面上表现突出，那就积极点，不要半途而废。全身心投入到工作中去。

　　Look your best.Take the extra time necessary to really look your own personal best and everyone has their own, when I say personal best I mean you know what your own personal best is. Strive for that everyday。

　　认识到自己的长处。每个人都有自己的长处。闲暇时花点必要的功夫去审视一下自己，看看自己有哪些优点，每天力争发扬自身优点。

　　Strive for a very positive attitude. When you walk into a room, people want to be around you. When your boss sees that you show up and you are consistent and you are excited and enthusiastic about what you are doing, they also can’t help but notice that the people around you are, I don’t want to say turned on, but the people around you feed off your positive energy and then they want to do a better job. It really is sort of a chain reaction。

　　保持积极的工作态度，每当你走进办公室时，争取让大家都愿意围着你。当你的上司看到你在工作中如此突出，这般表里如一，并且还这么活跃、热情，他们也不禁会发现，你周围的人也都被发动起来了。因为你周围的人会学习你的长处，并想要比你做的更好。这确实是一种连锁反应。

　　I would say that step 1 for impressing your boss is to be enthused about what you are doing and to put your whole self into it everyday。

　　可以说，要想给上司留下深刻的印象，你要做的第一步就是对你的工作有热情，每天全身心地投入到工作之中去。
