职场新人:学校没有教会我们的5件事
5. Success is based on toeing the line.
5. 成功来自顺从与认同
Say you disagreed with a professor's point of view on a particular point. You may even have been right... but the only way to get an A in the class was to parrot the professor's take on the subject. Except in rare cases, confirming and following the rules was everything.
比方说,你不认同教授对某个问题的观点,而且有可能你的看法是正确的,但为了成绩得A,你还是会拍教授的马屁。除非是遇到极少数情况,否则认同并按规则办事就是王理。
In business, conforming only ensures that you will achieve the same results as other people.
在职场上,认同即意味着你只能取得跟别人一样的成果。
If you want to achieve different results you'll have to think and act differently. Do your homework, think critically, and don't be afraid to create your own path.
如果你想获得不同的结果,那就得开动脑筋、特立独行。多做做功课,批判性思考问题,勇敢开创自己的道路。
But don't be different just for the sake of being different. Be different because it's who you are and what you believe... and because it will get you where you want to go, with your integrity and your sense of self intact.
但也别为了故意标新立异而显得格格不入。要与众不同,是因为你这个人和你的信念原本就是独一无二的,而你的所信所向、诚实和自我则会引领你到达渴望的地方。
