毕业后的第一份工作教给我的5堂课

One of my major responsibilities at my job was writing newsletter columns and speeches on behalf of the company's CEO. It was a huge challenge to learn and adapt to his voice and writing style when as a young professional, I'm still working on developing my own voice.
工作时，我要负责代表公司总裁写业务通讯和讲话稿。作为新人，学习并模仿总裁的语气和写作风格还是很有难度的，但我从未放弃努力。

The first few times I submitted a column for review, I became frustrated when I would get back the document full of edits and changes. Finally, I realized that building skills takes time. If the task was easy, anyone could do it. It was absolutely okay that my writing wasn't perfect the first go-around.
刚开始，我交上去评审的文稿总是被改得面目全非，对此我很受打击，但我也意识到：磨练技能得花时间啊。简单的事情谁都能做，所以一开始写得不尽人意也在情理之中。

With time and guidance from my boss, I slowly began to get the hang of it. And when I finally felt like I really conquered the skill? That made all the frustration completely worth it.
随着时间推移，加上老板的指引，慢慢我就能摸清门路了。最后，当我讶然发现自己已经完全具备这个能力时，还真觉得之前受到的所有打击都是值得的！
