Develop a strong sense of self by dissing colleges that reject you. Happy people have a more durable sense of self and aren’t as buffeted by outside events. When bad things happen, don’t take it personally. This is how the most successful business people bounce back quickly from setbacks.
第十三,增強自我意識,敢于鄙視那些沒有錄取你的大學??鞓返娜藫碛懈志玫淖晕乙庾R,不容易被外界的事情擊倒。當不幸的事發(fā)生,不要往心里面去。大多數(shù)商業(yè)成功人士就是這樣從挫折中迅速重拾自信的。
Get rid of your perfectionist streak. It is rewarded in college, but it leads to insane job stress and an inability to feel satisfied with your work.
第十四,戒掉完美主義的脾性。在大學,力求完美會使你有所回報,但在工作中則會產(chǎn)生令人抓狂的工作壓力,并使你無法對你的工作產(chǎn)生滿足感。
Work your way through college. Getting involved in student organizations counts, and so does feeding children in Sierra Leone or sweeping floors in the chemistry building. Each experience you have can grow into something bigger. A great bullet on the resume for a junior in college.
第十五,大學期間要積累工作經(jīng)驗。投身到學生組織中行得通,到塞拉利昂救助饑荒中的兒童或在化學樓里清潔地板也行。你所經(jīng)歷的每一種體驗都有聚沙成塔的作用。對于一個大學新生來說,這些舉動在你的履歷上是光彩的一筆。
Make to-do lists. You can’t achieve dreams if you don’t have a plan to get there.
第十六,列出行動清單。沒有計劃你是不可能實現(xiàn)自己的夢想的。
