  • 一項新研究剛剛證明小睡的威力強過一罐咖啡甚至是晚上多睡一會兒。這實際上是第一次讓三種對抗下午犯睏的方法同臺競技。事實上，下午犯睏是一天之中人體生理節律導致的非常正常的生理反應。
    A new study just released proves the power of a nap over a jolt of caffeine and even more sleep at night. It's actually the first such study to look at all three methods for combating the afternoon lull that's commonly experienced-and which is a very normal physiological response to the body cycling through its natural rhythms during the day.
  • 其實下午犯睏並不是意味着你缺覺。大概在醒後八小時，身體的體溫會出現小幅回落，這會導致午餐之後昏昏沉沉的瞌睡，並且恰好這時你還想多做點事情，就更難集中註意力了。
    Just because you feel sleepy at some point in the afternoon doesn't actually mean you're sleep deprived.

    How can you master the skills it takes to get ahead without putting any time in the trenches? That's like saying you could win an Olympic medal in swimming without learning to doggie paddle first. Look at your first post-college positions as temporary stops on your career path instead of permanent ones. Don't be in such a rush to get promoted either--you have a long career life ahead of you to shoulder the heavy burden of being on top. In the meantime, enjoy getting paid to learn everything you can so that snagging your next job isn't quite as challenging!

  • 工作應該目標明確、重點突出。確定你的公司或部門中5個急需改進的關鍵領域，並着手調整，緊抓不放，直到一切改好為止。或許你的清單上應列有諸如成本控製、産品質量、客戶滿意程度等內容。為每一項改進製定硬指標，並派專人負責。你必須及時考核、監督並審查工作的進程，並對取得成果者給予奬勵。
    Keep it simple and focused. Identify five key areas that need improvement in your company or division and keep at them until you get them right. Your list might include such things as cost containment, quality, or customer satisfaction. Set tough targets for each one, and hold people accountable for results. Measure, monitor, and review progress on a timely basis and reward results.
  • 尊重客戶。互聯網讓你的客戶享有更多暢所欲言的機會，說出他們真實的想法，喜歡你什麽，不喜歡你什麽。傾聽他們的聲音，並親自融進你從事的市場中去徵求客戶的反饋。你需要根據情況不斷改進公司的服務。否則，你就會發現客戶不斷減少(最終，關門大吉)。
    Honor your customer. The Internet lets your customers sound off and tell you exactly what they like or don't like about your business. Listen to them. Get out into the markets you serve, and ask your customers for feedback. Make the necessary changes to improve service or else you may find yourself with fewer customers (and eventually, out of business).

    Treat employees like customers. If you want to inspire your customers, you must first inspire your employees. Invest heavily in training and mentoring.

    Matters of the heart: Soap operas are fun to watch on TV, but they're not fun to live. Your reputation will suffer if you come into the office in tears one day because you broke up with your significant other and then you dance down the hall the next week because you met the love of your life. Your love life isn't as interesting to anyone else as it is to you, and people may be unable to separate your romantic life from your professional one.
  • 金錢在我們文化中是一個相當奇特的話題。我們渴望打聽到別人賺多少錢，本身卻沒洩漏的打算。薪資與身價有關，當你的薪資被公開，大傢就會開始臆測你的身價到底被高估還是低估，以及為什麼你有資格領的比相同能力的人多。
    Salary information: Money's a weird topic in our culture. As eager as we are to find out what other people make, we're not as ready to divulge our earnings.

Why are you getting paid that much when another person with the same qualification earns much less?
  • 最後.不雅言論：影集「辦公室」中有一集，主角麥剋史考特因不斷重複充滿種族歧視的言論與髒話而惹禍上身。劇中演員因尖銳、大膽和冒犯性的話語而付出代價，但你卻會因此被炒
    Last. Your Chris Rock routine: In an episode of "The Office, " Michael Scott gets in trouble for repeating, verbatim, a Chris Rock stand-up routine full of racially charged jokes and cuss words. Comedians get paid to be edgy, daring and even offensive. You get fired for it.
  • 要與恐懼鬥爭，首先要認識恐懼。要記住頭疼、胃疼、失眠和心跳加速都是焦慮的癥狀。麻省大學醫學院心神貫註研究中心執行主任SakiSantorelli說，應該通過說出來，甚至通過說出“我害怕這個”，來勇敢地面對這種感覺。承認焦慮可以使我們變得更積極、更堅強，因而也就更能對付它。
    The first step toward combating fear is identifying it. Keep in mind that headaches, stomachaches, sleeplessness and rapid heartbeat are all symptoms of anxiety. Confront the emotion head-on by naming it, even saying, "I feel fear about this, " says Saki Santorelli, executive director of the University of Massachusetts Medical School's Center for Mindfulness. Acknowledging anxiety makes us less passive, less vulnerable and, as a result, more able to cope.
  • 減輕壓力最有效的辦法之一就是將註意力集中到我們可以有效控製的東西上－－我們自己的呼吸。在頭腦－身體醫學院，參加者通過呼氣時反復輕聲默念一個單詞（任何單詞，可以是"om"或"HailMary"），來達到一個“放鬆的反應”。通過許多次研究，Benson發現該練習可以使參加者血壓降低，呼吸變緩，從而達到全身的平靜。
    One of the most efficient ways to reduce stress is to focus inward on one thing we can effectively control: our own breath. At the Mind/Body Medical Institute, participants elicit a "relaxation response, " repeating a word - anything from "om" to "Hail Mary"--silently as they exhale. In numerous studies, Benson has found that the practice leads to lower blood pressure, slower breathing and an overall calm.
  • 最近，Wisconsin－Madison大學的RichardDavidson發現由心神貫註研究中心首創的一種冥想呼吸法能夠對大腦産生影響。在一個小範圍進行並即將發表的研究中，Davidson對一傢生物技術公司的25名員工的大腦進行了成像，這些員工每周練習冥想6天，共練習了8周。他發現他們大腦額葉前部的左側激活的情況有所增加，而這一部位與較低的焦慮水平、積極的情緒和大腦恐懼中心扁桃核的抑製相關。
    Richard Davidson at the University of Wisconsin-Madison recently found that a form of meditative breathing pioneered at the Center for Mindfulness can affect the brain. In a small, soon-to-be-published study, Davidson took brain images of 25 members of a biotech firm who practiced meditation six days a week for eight weeks. He found increased activation in the left side of the prefrontal part of the brain, an area associated with lower anxiety, positive emotion and inhibition of the amygdala, the brain's fear center.
