  • 避免出现以下情形：组织提供重大信息的决策者要注意，不要让别人觉得你是一个障碍，是一个怀疑论者，或者是一个只专注于那些过去，现在，将来都不起作用的事情的消极员工。你要避免被人看作是一位不肯创新的员工。不要停留在事情的表面，也不要不愿意和大家分享信息。
    Appearances to Avoid: The purveyor of significant, needed organization knowledge needs to take care that he is not seen as a road block, a naysayer, or a negative employee who focuses on what doesn't work, didn't work, and won't work. You'll want to avoid being viewed as an employee who is not open to new ideas. You need to stay away from the appearance of territoriality or unwillingness to share information.
  • 一项新研究刚刚证明小睡的威力强过一罐咖啡甚至是晚上多睡一会儿。这实际上是第一次让三种对抗下午犯困的方法同台竞技。事实上，下午犯困是一天之中人体生理节律导致的非常正常的生理反应。
    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.
  • 小睡会在细胞层面让你清醒，这些是一杯可乐或者咖啡无法完成的。
    Naps refresh you at a cellular level that-sorry, Soda-caffeine just can't do.
  • 你比你想象的更容易睡多。从生理上来说，即便你强迫自己在晚上睡得更多，但其实身体并不需要这些额外的睡眠。（而且，睡眠充足并不意味着你的身体就不会有回落的过程。这是一种天生的、生理的现象，主要受到生理节律而非前一晚睡得多少或者有没有缺觉的影响）。
    It's easier to over-sleep than you think. Biologically, the body doesn't necessarily need that extra sleep if you force yourself to sleep more at night. (And getting sufficient sleep doesn't mean your body won't go through the dip regardless
  • 你比你想象的更容易睡多。从生理上来说，即便你强迫自己在晚上睡得更多，但其实身体并不需要这些额外的睡眠。（而且，睡眠充足并不意味着你的身体就不会有回落的过程。这是一种天生的、生理的现象，主要受到生理节律而非前一晚睡得多少或者有没有缺觉的影响）。
    it's a natural, physiological phenomenon tied more to your circadian rhythm than to your previous night's sleep and potential sleep debt.
  • 我一直主张睡个小觉。哪种方式最好？在30分钟里睡上20分钟（另外十分钟是为了放松和进入睡眠状态）。或者你可以两种方式并用，喝杯拿铁与小睡片刻相结合。
    I've long been an advocate for napping. The best kind? A 20-minute snooze within a 30 minute time period (10 extra minutes to get comfortable and into sleep mode). Or try the Nap-a-latteTM, which is the dynamic duo.
  • 不过我要给你一条最重要的提醒：很多人会选择咖啡因而不是小睡，他们完全不会打盹。喝杯咖啡可能更容易、更快、而且在很多方面更容易让社会接受。工作的时候找个地方小睡一下可能是个难题。研究还表明当决定是要小睡还是进行“吸引人的提神活动”的时候，人们会选择活动一下。
    But here's a big caveat: most people would probably choose caffeine over a nap, and ditch the nap entirely. Downing caffeine can be easier, quicker, and socially more acceptable in many ways. Finding a place to nap in the middle of the workday can be a challenge. And studies have also shown that when deciding between a nap and an "attractive wakeful activity, " they choose the activity.
  • 让我们来面对这个现实：咖啡馆总是多彩多样，热闹非凡：人、互联网、联系、社会交往、交换各种想法，还有除了咖啡之外的可口美食。而小睡一般更安静，而且斗胆说一句，不够性感。

  • 我永远都不会忘记自己在大学毕业的那个夏天是多么得失落。在接下来的九年里，我和无数二十来岁的年轻人探讨过压力巨大的问题。这些年轻人想要立即找到自己的“天职”，并在25岁之前在某个领域干出一番事业。
    I will never forget how lost I felt the summer after my graduation from college, and in the nine years since, I've spoken to countless 20-somethings who feel incredibly pressured to find their true calling immediately and build a successful career in a particular field before their 25th birthdays.
  • 一个更为现实的做法是遵循一些策略来让自己平缓地步入职场，可许多人直到三十岁后才开始去尝试这些策略。学校也许教会了你许多东西，但却可能没教你职场这套独一无二的法则。
    A more realistic challenge is to ease yourself slowly into the work world by following a few strategies that many people don't try until they're well into their 30s. School probably taught you a lot of things, but the business world's unique set of rules may not have been part of the story.
  • 随意找一份工作，只不过因为它与你的专业相关或感到工作内容有趣，那么你可能会进入一个对你来说并没有真正吸引力的行业，不用多久你就得再去找工作。何不用战略的眼光来规划你的职业，就像曾规划你的学业一样？
    Looking for a job haphazardly, because you majored in something or because you saw a listing that looks somewhat interesting, you'll risk getting started in a career that holds no real appeal for you, and then you'll have to leave it to find something else. Why not plan your career strategically, just like you planned your education?
  • 如果你一开始就把自己看成“受害者”，或是纵容自己长期消极，那么受伤的只会是你自己。最好的办法是承认现实、认清自我感受，找一个富有成效的方法去解决问题。向支持你的人寻求帮助，考虑休息一段时间－－毕竟，将来你不会再有这种不用上学也不用工作的自由了！
    If you start thinking of yourself as a victim or allow yourself to lapse into prolonged negativity, you won't be hurting anyone except yourself. The best strategy for moving on is to recognize the reality of the situation, acknowledge your feelings and find a way to cope productively. Reach out to your support systems, and consider taking some time off--after all, you'll never have the freedom of being between school and work again!
  • 许多工作空缺都不会登广告招聘，因为雇主更喜欢任用推荐的人选。和在你的领域工作的人们建立联系，这意味着一旦新机会出现，人们头脑中第一时间想到的就是你。
    A huge percentage of job openings aren't advertised because employers prefer to hire people through word of mouth. Developing relationships with people working in your field, then, means that you're top of mind whenever they hear of a new opportunity.
  • 你可以调查你所在行业的公司，或者，加入在线社交网站，或是问问父母的朋友和参加相关的职业组织。这些都能帮你建立新的联系。可以先用电子邮件和别人取得联系，不要明确地提出想获得工作，这会使对方心生戒备。对他们的职业生涯表示好奇，然后，问一问是否能同他们一起吃午饭或喝咖啡。
    Learn about new contacts by researching firms in your industry, joining social networking sites like LinkedIn, asking your parents' friends, and joining relevant professional associations. Approach individuals by e-mail first, and don't put them on the defensive by asking for a job outright. Instead, show curiosity about their career path and see if they'll agree to lunch or coffee.
  • 你应该对自己的职业发展负责，而不是你的公司。在向老板提出问题或是抱怨之前，先尝试一切自己能解决的办法。如果你不得不提，也要准备好一个解决方案，这个方案有她的帮助就能实现。
    Your company isn't responsible for your career growth: you are. Only approach your boss with a problem or complaint if you've explored all options for resolving it yourself. When you do, be prepared with a solution you could implement with her help.
  • 绝对不该说“我没有时间”这样的话。如果你知道需要做某项工作，应该不用敦促地完成。你的老板很快会把你看成一个靠得住的人，而且是团队的一大资产。如果要做的事情的优先级有冲突，让老板为你决定。
    The words I don't have time should never escape your lips. If you know something needs to be done, do it without being prodded. Your boss will quickly come to see you as someone she can count on and a huge asset to the team. If you have conflicting priorities, ask your boss to help sort them out.
  • 不从底层做起你怎么能掌握发展所需要的技能？这就好比连狗刨都没学会就想在奥运会上拿金牌。把你刚毕业后的工作看成职业生涯中的临时站点而不是永久站点。也不要急着获得晋升－－前方的职业道路由你扛重担的时间会很长。快乐地一边拿着工资一边学习吧，这样获得下一份工作就不费吹灰之力了!
    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!
