  • 和数字打交道。相当一部分的时间需要跟踪资金--开销、收入、税等等。怕数学可不行。
    You can work with numbers. You will spend a fair amount of time keeping track of money -- expenses, revenues, taxes and the like. A math phobia won't help.
  • 不怕犯错。你一定会犯错误.关键在于够汲取教训然后继续努力。这不是人人都容易做到的.
    You don't mind making mistakes. You will make them,the trick is to learn from them and move on. Not everyone finds that easy to do.

    You like to work. Contrary to myth, you don't need to be a workaholic to start a successful business.

That said, don't start a business unless you enjoy work. There's going to be plenty of it.

    You don't quit easily. You'll encounter obstacles that might stymie some individuals. You'll have more success if you are the type of person who relishes such challenges. A dash of optimism helps it will help you handle the uncertainty that is part of every venture.
  • 当我们很忙的时候,我们不可记得所有的事情,但是有些事情当我们说忘了的时候,老板们也许就会不高兴。所以,你可以说,“我正在做,但是还没有完成”而不是直接说你忘记了。这就像是说玻璃杯里的水是半满着而不是半空着一样。它们的意思是相同的,只是另一个听起来更好。
    And we do get so busy that we can't remember everything, but some things may not be well received when we say that. So, instead of saying you forgot, try, "I"m on it but I haven't got through to them yet'. It's like saying the glass is half full instead of half empty. They mean the same

  • 也许有些时候你的老板戴了世界上最丑的领带,但是这并不是你应该告诉他们的。他们知道自己穿衣服的风格,也许这个领带是一个他们不不戴的礼物。或者他们只是有很差的品味,但那是他们的特权。

    Can I have another raise?
  • 一个更为现实的做法是遵循一些策略来让自己缓慢进入职场。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,但是职场这套独一无二的法则可漏掉了。
    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,只不过因为你的专业相关或感到工作内容有趣,那么你可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,就像曾规划教育一样?
    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?
  • 你可以先作个自我评估,这会让你了解许多你不曾注意到的事情--例如,你喜欢怎样的工作环境、讨厌的工作环境又如何.你认为怎样才算是成功.什么样的工作会让你宁愿忍受几小时的交通堵塞、仅仅为了出现在办公室?了解这些帮你决定那些职业适合你。
    Start by doing a self-assessment that teaches you things about yourself that you might never have thought about -- for example, what you like and don't like in a work environment, what defines success for you, and what type of work would make you want to sit in traffic for hours just for the privilege of showing up. Knowing these things can help you determine which occupations could be a good fit for you.
  • 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。这些都帮你建立联系。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
    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.
  • 然后,问一问是否同他们一起吃午饭或喝咖啡。

    Don't have a sense of entitlement -- 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.
  • 不从底层做起你怎么掌握发展所需要的技?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!

    Give direction. Stand in front of the mirror and say, "Here is our future" five times without stuttering. A leader's most important job at any organization is to lay out a road map to the future.

Your vision must be real, substantive, and something people can believe in.Have the guts to make decisions while there's still risk in them.

  • 以身作则。坚持自己的道德准则,特别是面临困难抉择的时候。你应该建立一个可以完全信任和尊重的管理小组。有这么一条金科玉律:只要你照顾好自己的客户以及那些照顾客户的员工,那么,公司的成长和利润就会自然而然照顾到你。

    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?
