如何解决工作中的磨损问题

How to Tackle the Wear and Tear of Work

宁波华外教师 薛洪波

Every day we hear about people making radical career changes because of the burnout. The opportunities are open.Maybe the question is not "How can I get the job I'll love?", but "How can I love the job I have?" The following are four practical steps towards coming to terms with and even fall head over heel for  what you're possessing in hand.
1. Realize that your job does not define you, but how you do it does. There's a lot to be said for attitude, more than that will fit here. Any job can be done well, done with compassion, done with care. Your attitude at work and the way you treat people --- even your mood --- does not go unnoticed. They have a profound influence on the people you work with or for. There are times when you can't control your situation, but you can always choose how you live in it. Take it as it comes and do something solid but flexible to change it and yourself.
2. Stop focusing on the money only. Money will never be enough. Try tracking every penny you spend in a week. Seeing where your money is really going can help you to refocus your spending towards the things you really want.
3. Find the significance in what you do. This may require you to think big, but it can be achieved. Take some time to ponder about what you do. Do you provide an essential service? Do you get to see the finished product? Do you give the direction that gets things done? Then ask yourself "How is this job done differently because I am doing it?" 
4. Foster a dream. It is your ideal that makes your life meaningful, so think big and far, then you'll find your job standing for so much for you and yours. It is advisable to set a short-term goal against a long-term goal. Thus the inner drive will come into full swing, leaving you enthusiastic and robust.
       每天我们都听说有人因为精疲力竭而重新选择了职业。机会是开放的,也许问题不是“我怎样才能得到我喜欢的工作?”,而是“我怎么能喜欢我的工作呢?”
       一、认识到你的工作并不是定义你,而是定义你如何做。任何工作都可以做得很好,得益于你的细心、你的工作态度、你对待别人的方式、甚至你的心情。有时你无法控制自己的处境,但你总能选择如何生活在其中。顺其自然,做一些有用而灵活的事情来改变它和你自己。二、别只想着钱了,钱永远不够。试着追踪你一周内花的每一分钱,看看你的钱真正流向何处,可以帮助你重新把支出重点放在你真正想要的东西上。三、找出你所做的事情的意义。这可能需要你有远见卓识,花点时间想想你做了什么,然后扪心自问:“由我去做这项工作会有哪些不同和改变?”四、培养梦想。理想让你的生活变得有意义,树立短期目标和长期目标相,这样内在的动力就会充分发挥,让你充满热情和活力。
