职场新人:学校没有教会我们的5件事

You spent a lot of years in school. You learned a lot.
你读书多年，满腹学识。

Some of what you learned you need to un-learn as soon as possible. Here are five key attitudes you should adopt instead:
可有些你学到的东西却应该尽快抛弃，转而养成以下5个态度：

1. If you only do what you're told, you'll excel.
1. 如果还是循规蹈矩，那你就出局了。

I know. School was hard.
的确，读书不容易。

But not that hard.
但也还不算难于上青天吧。

If you did what you were told--go to class, do the reading, turn in assignments on time, etc.--you could get As. Initiative was not required and, in fact, was often frowned on.
在学校，如果规规矩矩上课看书或按时提交作业，你会得到全优成绩。读书不要求你有什么创举，要是你搞什么新奇玩意儿，或许还会被责罚。

Now--whether you work for someone else or run your own business--doing what you're told makes you average. Not superior, not excellent... just average.
现在，不论是替别人打工还是自主创业，如果还是别人交待一件，你就只做一件的话，你永远只能平庸无为——不拔尖、不出色，就这样碌碌无为下去。

To be above average, or to achieve better than average results, you must do two things:
若想摆脱平庸，取得更高成就，你必须做到以下两点：

Do what others are willing to do, and do it better, and Do what others aren't willing to do
别人乐意做的事情，你要做得更好；别人不愿意做的事情，你更要亲力亲为。

Otherwise, you're just average.
否则，你只能沦为芸芸众生。
