不知道新浪網(wǎng)友里面有多少人擁有自己的公司,或者是打算自己開公司。關(guān)于創(chuàng)業(yè)和工作,老張自己編了三句話,也是自己非常喜歡的三句話:
Success comes from passion, persistence and doing what you love to do.
成功來自于激情、堅(jiān)持以及做你喜歡做的事。
The best feeling in the world is getting paid to do what you love to do.
世界上最棒的感覺就是做你喜歡的事,別人還要為此付你錢。
The best job is one where you can't tell the difference between work and pleasure.
最好的工作就是你分不清工作和快樂的區(qū)別。
前段時間寫過一篇文章,是關(guān)于“激情”和“做你喜歡的事”的話題,很受身邊一些朋友的喜歡。我在里面列舉了一些身邊的例子。比如我老婆的老板,農(nóng)民出身,后來在裁縫店做學(xué)徒,再后來自己開小店,二十年后成為了億萬富翁,現(xiàn)在擁有國內(nèi)最大的休閑服公司。每次在電視做節(jié)目時別人問他為什么會取得成功,他的回答總是“我就喜歡做衣服,對其它行業(yè)不感興趣”;還有就是老張的一個業(yè)務(wù)合作伙伴,他初中輟學(xué),去了深圳打工,迷上了AV設(shè)備,后來自己在上海創(chuàng)業(yè),十多年后擁有上海最大的同聲翻譯設(shè)備公司。。。
正好這兩天在看Donald J. Trump的幾本書,又碰到了這個話題。選摘了幾段,和正在開公司或?qū)⒁_公司的朋友們共勉:
You have to love what you do or you are never going to be successful no matter what you do in life. If you love what you do, you are going to work harder, you are going to try harder, you are going to be better at it, and you are going to enjoy your life more. The most important things are knowing your business and loving what you do, both of which solve a lot of problems.
你必須愛上你的工作,否則,無論你做什么,一生都難以成功。如果熱愛自己所從事的工作,就會更家努力地嘗試;工作就會越做越好,生活也會有滋有味。最重要的是,要了解你的工作并且熱愛你的工作,這兩點(diǎn)會使許多問題迎刃而解。
I am so passionate about my work that to me there is nothing better, which is the greatest feeling. Some nights I can’t even sleep. I want to wake up so badly and go to work.
我對自己的工作是如此地激情澎湃,對我來說,做什么事都比不上工作時的感覺;這種感覺真棒,有時,我甚至難以成眠,迫不及待地想起床去工作。
If you want to do really big things in life, then you have to have monumental enthusiasm and passion. To be done right, every job requires passion. The doorman, the waiter, and the receptionist are there to greet each visitor with enthusiasm. No matter what your job is presently, do it with passion and magic will happen. You will meet the right person and get noticed. I have seen this over and over again.
如果想在有生之年成就大業(yè),就必須具有無比巨大的熱情和激情。無論從事什么工作,要想做好,激情都是必不可少的,即使是門童、侍者或前臺,也必須充滿熱情地向每一位客人打招呼。而且無論你目前的工作是什么,只要你帶著激情去做,奇跡就會發(fā)生。你肯定會遇到你的貴人,被他注意到,這種事情,我實(shí)在見過太多了。
Without passion, life lacks luster. Passion gives you the intestinal fortitude you need to never give up. How do you find your passion? Try this: For a moment, put aside any judgments and rational assessment you may have. Start daydreaming about what you really and truly love to do. If you could do one thing in life, what would it be? What do you get so caught up in the fun of doing what you lose track of time? What would you enjoy doing so much you would do it even without getting paid? What have you been doing when you were very satisfied with yourself? What kinds of things put you in a “zone” and lead to peak experiences? If you could
