职场新人:学校没有教会我们的5件事
3. Your time off is the highlight of the year.
3. 休息时间是你全年最大的盼头
You may have forgotten your mom's birthday, but I'll bet you knew the exact day every semester ended and the start and end of Spring Break. And you lived for snow days.
你可能会忘记老妈的生日,但我打赌你绝不会忘了什么时候学期结束、什么时候放春假。你可是掰着指头盼假期呢!
So it only makes sense to see weekends and vacations as the highlight of your working year, right?
所以,工作时的盼头也只剩下周末和假期了,对不?
Actually, no: If you feel you endure the workweek just to get to the payoff of the weekend, you're in the wrong business. Find work you enjoy; then you won't see time off as a chance to finally do something fun but as a chance to do something else fun.
其实未必:如果你只为了周末而苦熬上班时间,那就大错特错了。找份喜欢的工作吧,这样你就不至于苦巴巴等待唯一的放松时光,周末假期只是你快乐的一部分而已。
While you'll never love everything you do in your professional life, you should enjoy the majority of it.
虽然你无法喜欢工作中的一切,但至少可以享受其中的大部分吧。
Otherwise you're not living–you're just working.
要不然,你只是一台工作机器——根本就没有生活。
