1. Create a rich work portfolio
1. 豐富工作經驗
You know doing the bare minimum probably won't get you promoted or recognized. But you also know you haven't received any awards for going above-and-beyond either. What's the point? Skill building! Think about the projects you could take on to build your portfolio of skills and expertise. Maybe you company needs a website redesign and you could lead a committee to brainstorm ideas. Perhaps you could suggest a process to bring customer service up to snuff. Take on one project that is important to you and run with it. Don't expect recognition or a bonus. Do it because it is important to you.
想升職的話就不能只按照最低要求來做，得過且過也很難獲得獎勵。那么升職加薪的關鍵在哪里呢？就是要提升工作技能！想想有哪些項目是可以提升你的工作技能和豐富職業經歷的。也許你的公司需要重新設計網站，那么你可以引導大家頭腦風暴一下，又或許你可以針對優化客戶服務提些好的建議。盡全力做好一個對你來說很重要的項目。不要因為想獲得認可或者獎金而做，而是去做你認為重要的事。
2. Build your resiliency
2. 提高適應能力
When was the last time you really changed your routine? While we crave routine and consistency, our work seldom provides the stability we want. One way to cope is to force change on ourselves. Begin testing your flexibility and adaptability by doing things that are uncomfortable. If you don't normally get to work early, try it for a month and see what happens. Is there a colleague you don't know well? Ask them to lunch. By pushing yourself outside your comfort zone regularly, you begin to build your resiliency.
你最近一次改變生活作息是什么時候？當我們的生活一成不變的時候，我們的工作卻沒有我們想要的那么穩定。應對之策就是改變自己。嘗試做你不喜歡的事，看看自己的反應和適應能力。如果你平常不喜歡早起工作，那么就嘗試一個月，看看有什么變化。你是不是和某個同事從沒打過交道？那么就邀請他一起吃午飯吧。經常強迫自己走出舒適帶，你就已經是在培養自己的適應能力了。
3. Learn to love conflict
3. 學會愛上分歧
Don't run away from a disagreement or bite your tongue every time your boss comes up with a crazy idea. Stand up and be heard. Take a stand and learn how to defend what you believe in and what you know. The more experience you gain defending your points, the better you can get. Not every battle is worth fighting, and not every idea is worth defending. When you learn how to sell and negotiate your ideas you might just gain more respect.
每當上司有瘋狂的想法時，不要總是逃避分歧或者保持沉默。站出來讓別人知道你的想法。表明立場，并知道怎么讓別人接受自己的想法。如果你經常這樣做，你就會越做越好。但并不是每個問題都值得爭論，每個想法都值得辯護。當你懂得如何推銷自己的想法時，你已經贏得了尊重。
4. Practice generosity
4. 多多給予
Who doesn't like it when they receive a genuine compliment or sincere recognition out of the blue? Do you spontaneously praise or thank co-workers? You could offer to mentor or help a new employee or stay late after work to help someone with a deadline. When you go out of your way to do things for others, you begin to establish a reputation for being generous.
誰會不喜歡真心的贊美和認可？你會主動地贊美或者感謝你的同事嗎？你可以給新人提供幫助和指導，或者在下班后幫同事一起完成馬上就要到截止時間的任務。當你用自己額外的時間幫助別人的時候，你就已經樹立起了慷慨大方的美名了。
5. Teach yourself
5. 自學技能
When budgets are tight, the budget item usually cut first is formal training opportunities. While this is unfortunate, it shouldn't deter you from getting the knowledge and skills you need to succeed. Seek opportunities to teach yourself the skills through free courses offered by Harvard, MIT, and Stanford's edX. Use your creative problem-solving skills to get the knowledge you need to stay competitive.
當預算緊張時，人們通常會取消接受正規培訓的計劃。就算這樣，你也不應該放棄學習成功所需要的知識和技能。尋找機會通過自學哈佛、麻省理工和斯坦福提供的免費課程來提升技能。發揮你的潛力來為自己增值。
6. Time is all it takes
6. 用心思考
Finding time to think about your career seldom makes it on your daily to-do list. Set some measurable and time-sensitive goals to make these things happen and don't forget to write them down so you see them every day.
人們通常不會把思考自己的職業規劃列在任務清單上。給自己設定一些可以衡量并且有時效性的目標，并且做到每天記錄以提醒自己。
