想在職場混得風生水起？這12個技能很重要！（上）
無論你是初出茅廬的畢業生，還是想更上一層樓的職場老手，你都必須“軟硬”實力兼備。在這個瞬息萬變的就業環境中，哪些核心技能才能幫助你立於不敗之地呢？
1. Learnability 學習能力
We’ll begin with learnability because it is arguably the most important 21st-century skill you will need to succeed. Alvin Toffler said, "The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." That's because, in an environment where new skills emerge as fast as others fade, success is less about what you already know and more about adapting your skills by growing and expanding your knowledge base, so you can use new information and skills to respond to whatever is happening.
我們從學習能力說起，因爲學習能力應該是21世紀取得成功所需的最重要的技能。未來學大師阿爾文·托夫勒說過：“21世紀的文盲不是那些不會讀寫的人，而是那些不能學習、不能拋棄舊知識和重新學習的人。”這是因爲，在一個新舊技能飛速更替的環境中，成功與你已有的知識關係沒那麼大，而更多的關乎於你通過擴大知識面來適應環境的能力，這樣無論發生了什麼，你都可以運用新知識新技能來應對。
2. Resilience 韌勁
Setbacks and failures are a part of life, but how you choose to deal with those roadblocks is what is critical to your success. Resilience is the ability to bounce back in the face of obstacles and failures. When you are resilient, you don't focus on the ups and downs. Instead, you stay focused on your long-term goals, and you never lose confidence in your ability to prevail. By helping you face challenges and difficulties, resilience also enables you to handle stress more positively.
挫折和失敗是生活的一部分，但選擇何種心態來應對挫折對你的成功至關重要。適應力就是在挫折和失敗前重新振作的能力。如果你有很強的韌勁，你不會關注那些起起落落。你關注的是你的長期目標，而且你對自己戰勝困難的能力永遠信心滿滿。適應力能幫助你面對挑戰和困難，從而讓你更積極地處理壓力。
prevail[prɪˈveɪl]: vi. 戰勝，獲勝
3. Agility 靈活
As the work landscape shifts, learning to be agile is a critical skill, as yesterday’s solutions do not solve tomorrow’s problems. At the heart of being agile is shifting gears when the context calls for it and responding accordingly to the needs of your workplace, clients or industry trends.
隨着職場格局的改變，學會靈活成了一項關鍵技能，因爲昨天的方案不能解決明天的問題。靈活的核心就是在時勢需要的時候要改變工作方式，靈活應對職場、客戶或產業趨勢的需求。
4. Collaboration 合作能力
In our increasingly hyper-connected world, we’re no longer expected to work just as individuals or only in silos. Our projects have become more complex, so the ability to work effectively as part of a team has also grown in importance. Given the increasingly global nature of work, your ability to collaborate, share knowledge and contribute to teams that can capitalize on a diversity of thinking and perspective is critical.
在我們這個日益高度連通的世界裏，人們不能再各自爲營。我們的項目變得更加複雜，因此在團隊中高效工作的能力也越來越重要。考慮到日益全球化的工作性質，你的合作能力、分享知識的能力以及對團隊做出貢獻的能力非常關鍵，這樣你的團隊才能從多樣化的思維和視角中獲益。
capitalize[ˈkæpɪtəlaɪz]: vi. 利用
5. Verbal communication 口頭交流能力
Advancing in your career is not just based on what you do. There’s a good chance that at some point in your career you’ll have to use strong verbal communication skills so you can sell others on your ideas, products, or services. Whether you're needing to explain your value when you are being considered for a promotion, presenting as part of a team project, or speaking on stage, you need to be able to communicate well and convey strong, persuasive ideas.
你的晉升之路不僅基於你的工作成果。你在職業生涯的某些時候很可能要運用強大的口頭交流能力來向別人推銷你的想法、產品或服務。無論你是需要在升職面試時闡述自己的價值，還是做團隊項目的演示，抑或是在臺上發言，你都需要良好的口頭交流能力來傳達強烈而有說服力的觀點。
6. Written communication 書面溝通能力
We live in an era of tweets and sound bites, but good written communication skills still matter when it comes to your career. Whether you are sending professional emails, communicating with a client, trying to deliver a coherent business plan, or anything in between, you should be able to communicate quickly, accurately and effectively.
雖然我們生活在推特和語音信息的時代，但良好的書面溝通能力對你的職業發展依然重要。無論你是要發送工作郵件，和客戶溝通，提交條理清晰的商業計劃，或是其他信件來往，你都應該能夠快速、準確和有效地進行交流。
