辦公室職場該不該冒險
Big Risks, Big Rewards
高風(fēng)險，高回報
If you think about it, most accomplished people in our culture are entrepreneurs who have taken big risks to net proportionally high rewards.
你可以想一想，在我們的社會里，大部分有成就的人都是冒了很大的風(fēng)險、并相應(yīng)地獲得高回報的企業(yè)家。
If you don't occasionally take calculated gambles, you won't get ahead as quickly as those who do. You will also never get over your fear of the unknown, and life will be predictable and dull.
如果你不偶爾地在審時度勢后冒些險，你就不能像別人一樣很快進(jìn)步。此外，你永遠(yuǎn)無法克服對未知的恐懼，你的人生一眼就能看到底，了無生趣。
How do you go about deciding if a career risk is necessary and will bear fruit?
你該如何確定一項(xiàng)職業(yè)上的冒險是必要的、會有所收獲?
First, it helps to think long term. Where do you want your career to be in five years, and what actions will you have to take to make sure you get there? Next, clearly define the challenge and the opportunity -- or the upside if the risk goes well.
首先，要放眼長遠(yuǎn)。你希望自己的職業(yè)生涯5年后是什么樣子的，你將必須采取什么措施來確保實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)?其次，明確定義面臨的挑戰(zhàn)和機(jī)遇──或如果冒險成功了，會有什么好處。
Then, consider the downside. Will the worst-case scenario be career-ending, or something that can be overcome?
然后，考慮不利方面。如果出現(xiàn)最糟糕的情況，是否會葬送了自己的職業(yè)生涯，還是能夠克服?
What's Your Backup Plan?
你的.B計(jì)劃是什么?
Finally, what are some clues to assess if the risk is going bad, and what is your backup plan if your risk isn't successful?
最后，你要評估哪些線索來得知冒險正在走向失敗。如果冒險不成功，你的B計(jì)劃又是什么?
The smartest risks have a limited downside and a huge upside. They involve research and the counsel of experienced people -- but also the willingness to step back and let the cards fall where they may.
最明智的冒險“弊”有限而“利”很大。需要研究、向有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人咨詢，還要甘愿在必要的時候退一步、順其自然。
Believe that you've made the right choice, and have faith that everything will turn out all right in the end. Insecurity and negativity won't serve you well, because you'll be constantly holding your breath, waiting for things to fall apart.
堅(jiān)信你的選擇是正確的，并篤信一切終究會圓滿成功。不安全感和消極態(tài)度不會給你帶來裨益，因?yàn)槟阋粩嗥磷『粑�、等著事情失敗�?/p>
Take stock of what went wrong and make a note to do it differently next time. There is no shorter path to career fulfillment.
從錯誤中汲取教訓(xùn)，避免下次重蹈覆轍。職場成功沒有捷徑可尋。
