Suggested Reading Time (9.5imin.)

Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs? There are two primary reasons. First, some people are convinced that earning a living is wasting time that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their true talents.



If this is the case with you, recall your last long vacation . Was it two weeks of complete enjoyment? More likely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun, with another half a week of “Boy, I can’t wait to get back to work.” If you didn’t feel such vacation blues, imagine taking a leave of absence. You could use it to work on a novel, enroll in classes and just sit around watching TV. At the end of three months, in all likelihood, your self-esteem would be at an all-time low. While all work and no play is not good, all play and not work is disastrous. We need to feel we are to accomplishing something. We also need some form of order in our lives.

3. The second and perhaps more prevalent reason for people not to like their work is that they fell trapped. Once you’ve been at a company for five years and have a spouse, a mortgage and a child. You often feel you have very little(我不懂这两词为什么会在一起,怪怪地,谁知道教我下) choice about “jumping ship” if things aren’t turning out as you’d planned. A steady paycheck can be the biggest manacle of all. People resent having to do something because they have no other choce.

4.If

you find yourself resenting your job because you can’t afford to quit, it may be time to prepare what on career counselor humorously calls a “cyanide capsule”. He recalls spy movies in which the secret agent has such a capsule hidden somewhere on his body. If he’s capture and tortured unbearably, he has an option. And having an option gives him the strength to hold on a little longer in the hope that the situation may change.

5. Rather than cyanide, your option takes the form of an up-to-date resume. You might take a weekly glance through the help-wanted section, and make some visits to industry functions where low-key networking can take place. You’re not giving up on your current job. Rather you are providing yourself with an option. If things get unbearable at work, you could jump ship.Being in this position can do wonders for you attitude. It allows you to enjoy your work since, in reality, your are there only because you want to be.



6. At the core of adopting position attitude to your workplace is, above all, assuming responsibility for your own situation.(这句的翻译好抽象似的) Most people feel controlled by their environment, but they really aren’t. They have to learn to manage that environment so they can get from it what they need.(这些句子很中意哦,你喜欢不,喜欢就背下来吧)
