The question is, as an adult, are you still saying that it's not your fault? 这不是我的错！你像个小孩子一样说过多少遍了？问题是，作为成年人，你是否还会说不是你的错呢？ One of the important things about your career is taking responsibility for your own career. Here's how: 对于你的职业而言，为自己的工作承担职责是最重要的事情之一。以下是你该如何去承担职责： Don't Wait for What You Want to Happen—Make It Happen 不要守株待兔-请行动起来 Often times, people wait for coworkers to come to them, for promotions to land in their laps, and for management to offer up new jobs on a platter. 很多时候，工作被动的人，喜欢等待他的同事主动上门找他，等待晋升机会能够降临到他们身上，等待管理层因为他们的溜须拍马，就提供新的工作给他们。 Employees get frustrated when they see coworkers rewarded before they are, even if they're harder workers. What gives? 员工在看到同事在自己之前得到奖励，他们甚至会比那些得奖的同事工作更加努力，由此，他们会感到沮丧。到底是什么造成了这样的情况？ First of all, many bosses are busy doing their own work and not heavily focused on your career path. Your boss doesn't know that you really want to learn how to do X, or that you've wanted to learn how to manage projects unless you tell her. Your coworker might just have the good projects because she asked for them. 首先，许多老板都会忙于自己的工作，不会去过多关注你的职业生涯路径。你老板是不知道你真是想去学会做某件事的，除非，你已经告诉你老板你是想去学习如何管理项目。兴许，你的同事只是手头上有好的项目，而这些项目正是老板要求他去做的。 This isn't advice to become obnoxious or pushy, but it is advice that you need to speak up. If your pay is too low, don't expect your boss to just notice—ask for a raise. If you want that international assignment, throw your hat into the ring. Don't expect others to make things happen for you. 当然，这里并不是去建议你要不愉快，或者一意孤行，而是建议你要大胆地表达自己的看法。如果你的薪资太低，不要期望你的老板关注到，请向他提出加薪的请求。如果你想得到海外工作，请你申请该职位。不要期望别人成就你！ If you need more education or more training for the job you want, go out and get it. If you think, “oh it will take too long to get that certification,” then it will take too long to get it—because you're not even starting. 为了工作，如果你想得到更多的教育与培训，那就要主动争取。如果你想到“获得证书需要太长时间了”，那么你就会花费太长的时间得到证书，因为你甚至还没有开始。 If you want something, figure out a way to do it and start on that path today. Take an online course. Register at your local community college. Apply for a graduate program. Understand that you are held back only by you. If you want a job that requires an MBA, then start working towards that MBA, don't just hope that someday you'll get the promotion anyway. 如果你想要什么，要想出个办法，请今天就开始行动。参加网上课程。在当地社区学院注册。申请研究生课程。要明白你只是被你束缚住了！如果你想要得到一份需要MBA学位的工作，那请你努力攻读MBA学位吧！不要只是希望某一天你能得到升职！ Take Responsibility for Your Mistakes 为自己的错误承担职责 All employees make mistakes at work. Sometimes they make really big mistakes. When you make a mistake, what's your initial reaction? Do you look to find someone else to blame? Try to cover up the errors you made? If that's the case, you're not taking responsibility for yourself. 所有员工在工作中间都会犯错，而有时间甚至会犯大错。犯错时，你的第一反应是什么？你会不会去找其他人进行责备？还是尝试掩饰错误？如果那样的话，你是对自己不负责任！ Instead, try using the following phrase: “I'm sorry. I made a mistake. Let me fix it.” Or, “That was my fault. What can I do to fix it?” Note it's not, “The computer wouldn't work properly and Jane didn't do X and Steve didn't do Y.” It's “I made a mistake.” 与以上相反的是，你应该尝试使用如下的措辞：“不好意思，我犯错了，我自己来处理”，或者说：“是我犯的错！怎么样处理它呢？”请记住，不应该出现这样的说辞：“电脑有些问题，简没去做某事，史蒂文没去做某某事”/“我犯错了”！ Even though it's true that Jane didn't do X and Steve didn't do Y, if you put the blame on them, you won't make people trust you and believe in you. 即便真的是简没去做某事，史蒂文没去做某某事，而你去对他们进行指责，恐怕后续再也不会有人再去相信/信任你了。 When you take responsibility for your mistakes, you can begin to fix them. When you ignore them or blame others for them you never improve. 当你对错误负责的时间，你其实就着手解决犯错的问题了，而一旦你忽略错误或者对别人进行指责，你也注定不会取得什么进步。 Fix Your Own Short-Comings 弥补自己的不足 If you're late for work most of the time because of traffic, you're not really late because of traffic. You're late because you're leaving too late for work. Arriving late because of traffic happens every once in a while because of something unusual. Be honest with yourself and your boss: you need to leave for work 15 minutes earlier. 假如你多次上班迟到的原因都是因为交通问题，那么迟到的真正原因绝对不是因为交通问题。你上班迟到是因为出门太晚！迟到是因为某些异常情况导致的偶尔的交通问题！请对自己与你的老板坦诚一些：你需要提前15分钟到岗！ When you are behind on your workload, is it because your work is truly overwhelming or is it because you're wasting time on the internet or playing games on your phone? If it's truly overwhelming, meet with your boss to discuss organizational strategies and priorities. If you're wasting time, stop it. Remember, you're paid to work. 当你滞后于工作量时，是因为你的工作量太大，还是因为你在网上，或者在你的手机上玩游戏浪费了时间？如果真的是工作量太大，你要和你老板讨论一下组织策略和优先项。如果你在浪费时间，那么，请不要再浪费了。记住，单位给你付薪资是让你去工作的！ If you are constantly in conflict with other people, is it because they are horrible people or because you antagonize people? Are you the one with the short temper? If you're constantly in conflict something is going on. And, if it's you, it's best that you identify it now and fix it. 如果你和其他人不断的冲突，因为他们太可怕，还是因为你引起了别人的反感？是你脾气暴躁吗？如果在你身上冲突不断，肯定有某件事情在发生。如果是你的问题，你最好现在就去确认，并去处理。 You can ask your HR department for help with developing people skills, for instance. You can take a class. You can set a goal to say three nice things to people every day. Whatever you do, do it with a specific goal to improve your relationships with other people. 举例，在发展人员技能方面，你可以向人力资源部门寻求帮助。你可以设定一个每天向他人说三件不错的事情的目标。无论做什么，请用明确的目标，以期改善你与他人的关系。 Be Willing to Let Things Go 愿意放手 Even when you take control of your own life, things happen that you can't control. For instance, your company can lay you off even when you're a great performer. When this happens, you can either wallow in self-pity or you can say, “Okay, that stinks. Now it's time to get my resume in shape and look for a new job.” 即使你控制了自己的人生，但你无法控制的事情还是会发生。例如，即使你是一名出色的演员，你的公司也可以炒你鱿鱼。出现这种情况时，你要么沉溺于自怜，要么说：“得了，讨厌死了。现在，是时候恢复我的简历的状态了，要去找一份新工作了。” Let go of the hurt and anger you feel and move forward. It's not easy, but thousands have done it before you, and so can you. 放开你感觉到的伤害和愤怒，向前迈进。这很不容易，但在你之前，有成千上万的人已经这么做了，你也完全能够做到。 You will make your life better when you take responsibility for yourself and your career. 当你能为自己和工作负责时，你会让自己的生活变得更加美好。 【特别提醒】 |
