Seems like cats are all the rage these days, what with Grumpy Cat memes going viral and cat videos popping up all over the Internet. But cats aren't just a source for endless entertainment; they also have a lot to teach us about the daily grind. Here are a couple of them to start with:
近來喵星人似乎“侵略”了地球，不爽貓圖集和各種喵星人視頻在網上像病毒般地瘋傳。但是，貓咪們可不僅僅是無限娛樂的源泉，它們還能就日常瑣事教會我們許多道理。下面我們就來向喵星人討教討教：
1.Don't be an eager beaver. Cats generally aren't people pleasers. They don't hang onto your every word and constantly want affirmation via pets from you. They take the affection they want, then walk away when they're satisfied. At work, trying to please everyone will let others easily take advantage of you. It also hurts your relationships because you can't please everyone, and someone will likely end up getting hurt. And if you're always trying to get affirmation, you may constantly be fishing for compliments from your colleagues, which can get on people's nerves. Be assertive and confident about your abilities and the work that you do.
1.別去討好賣乖。喵星人很少會去討好人。它們不會對你唯命是從，也不會像其他寵物一樣一再地想從你這里得到認同。喵星人只想得到它們想要的寵愛，一旦它們感到滿意了，就會自己走開。在工作中，想要討好所有人的人往往容易被利用。而且這種做法也會有損你和同事的關系，因為你不可能讓所有人滿意，總有人會受傷。如果你總是想要得到別人的認可，那么就相當于在向同事邀賞，這會給同事造成壓力。要堅信自己的能力和自己所做的事情。
2.Groom yourself. Look your best, and you will feel your best. Cats groom themselves well and are pretty clean animals. Having good hygiene and looking polished will definitely help your image in your company.
2.打扮自己。當你把自己打扮得合適得體，你的自我感覺也會更好。喵星人是很愛干凈的，常常會整飾自己。養成良好的衛生習慣，精心打扮自己肯定對提升你在公司的形象大有幫助。
3.Teach yourself and take initiative. Don't always wait for someone to teach you something before making an attempt. Cats are rare creatures in that they take to toilet training like a pro. Use the litter box approach in your career — take the initiative to perform tasks and learn skills on your own.
3.自學并提高主動性。不要連嘗試都不敢去做，光等著別人來教你。喵星人是極少數能經過訓練后自己去上廁所的動物。給你自己的職業生涯也放個小盒子吧。在工作上要主動去完成任務，技能也要自己去學。
4.Learn from your mistakes. Cats get frightened easily, and because they have a good memory, they tend to remember the scary incidents and try to avoid them. Once a mistake is made at work, we should work to rectify and learn from it, then try our best not to make the same mistake again.
4.從錯誤中吸取教訓。喵星人很容易受驚，因為它們記性很好，它們會記得曾經遭遇過的恐怖經歷并且避免再犯。在工作中，一旦犯錯就要學會如何去補救并從錯誤中吸取教訓，盡力不再犯同樣的錯誤。
5.Notice cues. It's amazing how alert cats are with certain cues, such as the sound of opening a can of food. It's a good skill to have when interacting professionally. Picking up on body language cues is especially important when you aren't familiar with the person, such as when you're interviewing.
5.察言觀色。喵星人對于某些事情特別警醒，比如打開食物罐子時發出的聲音。在工作中與人交流時就要有這種察言觀色的能力。如果你與對方不熟，比如在面試的時候，你就需要十分注意對方的肢體語言。
6.Get enough sleep. Seems like you can learn a thing or two in snoozing from cats — felines sleep about 16 hours a day. Many of us say that sleep gets in the way of work, but getting enough sleep will help us be more efficient with our time and get more done in less time.
6.保證充足睡眠。也許你能從酣睡的喵星人身上學到點東西。貓科動物一般每天要睡上16小時。但是我們很多人會覺得，睡覺會影響到工作。事實卻是充足的睡眠能夠讓我們工作得更有效率，用更少的時間做更多的事。
