Important thing also to keep in mind about calling is that well it does depend to some extent on the kind of work that you do. It depends much more on your perception of the work.
關于使命同樣要記住的一點是：它確實從某種程度上取決于你工作的種類，但更取決于你對工作的理解。
So the research that I talk about in the book is about cleaners in a hospital who were able to see their work as a calling. Why? Because they interpret their work not as "I have to pick up the garbage and clean the toilet"- which they actually had to do, but more as "I'm taking care of these patients; because without my work, without me doing the excellent work, there'll be more pollution and more people hurt in the hospital.
我在書里講到的研究，是關于醫院里的清潔工的。他們將他們的工作視為使命，為什么？因為他們不是將工作詮釋成“我必須清掃垃圾，打掃廁所”雖然這是他們實際的工作，而是“我在照顧這些病人，沒有我的努力，沒有我這些出色的工作，就會產生更大的污染，醫院里會有更多人受害”。
And these people who perceive- these cleaners who perceive their work had the calling orientation were much more likely to engage in a conversation with the patients in the hospital, were much more likely to help. And interestingly, many doctors from this same hospital perceive their work as a job.
而這些人、這些將工作理解為使命的清潔工會更愿意和醫院里的病人聊天、更愿意伸出援手。有趣的是，同一家醫院里的很多醫生將他們的工作僅僅視為工作。
Now you are more likely, again- not good, not bad it is- you are more likely to find a sense of calling in your work if you are a leader versus the janitor or the cleaning person in an organization. It's more likely.
你會更容易，同樣沒有好壞之分，你會更容易在工作中找到使命感，如果你在單位里是領導而不是門衛或者清潔工，會更容易感受到。
