雙語財經新聞 第68期:實現愉快工作的12個簡單方法(1)
If you are a relatively junior employee at your company, though you carry out a very important role, you may not always be recognised. You might also face some of the following challenges:
Little fulfilment at work Long working hours
工作上沒有成就 工作時間過長Conflicting demands on your time and loyalty Little balance between personal life and work commitments Tight deadlines Management pressures
在個人生活和工作責任之間找不到平衡 許多事情都到了最後期限的壓力
Strained relationships with the important people in your life
與生命中重要的人關係緊張Tight personal finances
個人財務困難Lack of any say at work
在工作中沒有發言權Internal politics and a rigid company structure
內部政治問題，公司組織結構過於嚴格Bullying within the workplace
在工作場所內被壓制Few promotional opportunities
很少有晉升機會You are therefore faced with a number of dilemmas in your workplace.
因此,你在工作場所面臨許多進退兩難的局面。On the one hand you want to be involved in rewarding, enjoyable and fulfilling work, get recognition and promotion for your efforts, and be appreciated for the key role you play in the company. On the other hand you want a balanced life with time for the things you really want to do with a full and interesting social life. Of course you want to have clarity about your career, job duties and you want to continue to be healthy, fit and stress free.
一方面，你希望從事有回報的、令人愉快的、有滿足感的工作,希望你的努力能 夠獲得認可,並因此得到提拔,希望你在公司裏扮演的重要角色有人賞識。另一方 面,你想要過一種有平衡感的生活,有時間做你真正想做的事，擁有充實的、有趣味 的社交生活。當然,你也想使自己的職業和工作職責一清二楚,你想繼續過着健康、 適意、沒有壓力的生活。So what’s the best way forward?! How can you too achieve a zen like happiness at work? One key to resolving these seemingly conflicting challenges is to get clear about just how much you love the work you do. Is what you do something you jump out of bed every morning, or would you rather be doing something else? How motivated are you with your work? And how do you cope with the day to day routine office work?
那麼，接下來應該怎麼做呢?!怎樣才能在工作中也擁有一種平和快樂的心態 呢？解決這些表面上互相沖突的挑戰的一個關鍵之處，就是要弄清楚你有多麼熱愛 你的工作。你所做的事每天早晨都能令你從牀上興奮地跳起來嗎?還是你寧願去做 別的事？你對你的工作有怎樣的目標？你是怎樣應付日復一日、千篇一律的辦公室 工作的？A UK survey found that almost 2 out of 3 people are dissatisfied with their jobs. And I am sure there is a similar situation in the USA and other parts of the developed world. This means that they are either apathetic about finding what they really love doing or they are resigned to being in this situation.
在英國進行的一項調查發現,幾乎有三分之二的人對自己的工作不滿意。我相 信，在美國以及其他發達國家,也有類似的情況。這意味着，他們或者是對於尋找自 己真正喜歡做的事缺乏熱情，或者是甘於在這種處境中得過且過。No matter how good things are in other parts of your life such as family, social life and relationships, work is a major part of your life, and not tobe neglected.
Since for now you have chosen to be in the job you are in, it is up to you for the time being to make the most of what you do. Of course in the long term, you can either change your job or even embark on a new career. But for now, you can get to love more of what you do right now.無論你生活中的其他部分多麼美好——例如家庭、社交生活和人際關係—— 工作始終都是你生活中的重要部分，不能等閒視之。
