如何找到一份你真心喜欢的工作？年轻人都该看看！

中国日报双语新闻

相信很多上班族都有以下症状：早上发现自己“被床困住”，动弹不得；对周末打来的电话小心翼翼，用颤抖的声音问道：“是加班么？”到底是什么抹杀了我们对工作的热情？是工作太令人疲惫？还是工作太无聊？斯科特·丁斯莫尔（Scott Dinsmore）在TED演讲上向我们讲述了“怎么找到你喜欢的工作（How to find work you love）”，或许可以帮助你答疑解惑。

很多人都有这样的烦恼：“你说我是做一份看起来高大上但不喜欢的工作，还是找一个我喜欢但看起来平凡的工作？”无论是对初出茅庐的毕业生，还是久经职场的老手来说，这都是一个令人头疼的问题。

丁斯莫尔坦言自己曾收到过一份最糟糕的职业建议：

Don't worry about how much you like the work you're doing right now. It's all about just building your resume.

不要想你有多喜欢现在的工作，只要它能增添你的履历就好。

为了这份建议，丁斯莫尔到了每天10点只想做一件事：

I had this strange urge to want to slam my head through the monitor of my computer.

我就有一种奇怪的冲动，想用头撞穿电脑屏。

如果你都不知道自己想要追求什么，又何谈“找到”二字。

And so the first step of our compass is finding what our unique strengths are. What are the things that we wake up loving to do no matter what, whether they are paid or not paid.

我们人生的指南针首先要找到的是自己的优势，知道到底有什么事情是我们早上一醒来就想做的，无论有无报酬。

And next, what's our framework or our hierarchy for making decisions? We have to figure out what it is to make these decisions, so we know what our soul is made of, so that we don't go selling it to some cause we don't give a shit about.

第二点，我们做决定背后的价值体系和优先级是什么？我们要知道是什么原因让我们做出了现在的决定，这样我们才能够认清自己的心，不会为我们不屑一顾的事情出卖自己的灵魂。

We learn things every day, every minute about what we love, what we hate, what we are good at, what we are terrible at. Over time we have this repository of things that we can use to apply to our life and have a more passionate existence and make a better impact.

我们无时无刻都在了解自己喜欢什么、讨厌什么、擅长什么、不擅长什么。久而久之，我们就形成了一个关于自己的信息库，这一信息库可以运用到生活中，可以让我们生活得更有激情、更有意义。

We end up in the situation－we have that scripted life that everybody seems to be living going up this ladder to nowhere.

我们最后会是这种情况：按照生活既定的剧本，和别人一样地爬梯子，却不知它通向何方。

在丁斯莫尔看来，你迟迟无作为的原因无非有两个：

One is they tell themselves they can't do them, or people around them tell them they can't do them. Either way, we start to believe it. Either we give up, or we never start in the first place.

第一种是我们告诉自己做不到，第二种则是别人告诉我们做不到。不管是哪种原因，我们一旦相信了这种观点，要么就放弃，要么压根就没打算开始。

Doing the impossible and pushing our limits, just your own impossibilities, to accomplish those, and it starts with little bitty steps.

挑战自己的极限，完成不可能。想要完成这些，需要从一小步一小步开始。甘地曾经说过一句名言：

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

起初他们忽视你，继而嘲笑你，然后对抗你，最后，你就赢了。

And the best way to do this is to surround yourself with passionate people. The fastest thing to do things you don't think can be done is to surround yourself with people already doing them.

最好的办法就是和富有激情的人们呆在一起。超越自身极限最快捷的方式就是置身于已经超越了自身极限的人们当中。

商业哲学家吉米·罗恩（Jim Rohn）曾经说过：

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.

你是你最常接触的5个人的平均值。

What is the work you can't not do? Discover that, live it, because that is what starts to change the world. What is the work you can't not do?

好好想想，什么工作你非做不可？发现它并为之奋斗，因为改变世界的起点就在于此。仔细想想，什么工作是你非做不可的？
