每天我们都听说有人跳槽了。机会确实是有,但跳槽真能让我们更快乐吗?可能问题不在于“我如何才能找到我喜欢的工作?”,而在于“我如何喜欢上我现在的工作?”。
Every day we hear about people making radical career changes. The
opportunities exist, but will all these changes make us any happier once we get
there? Maybe the question is not "How can I get the job I'll love?", but "How
can I love the job I have?" Following are four practical steps towards coming to
terms with why you do what you're doing. Take some time to think about it, and
you might be surprised by what you find.
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 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. There are times when you can’t
control your situation, but you can always choose how you live in it.
2. Stop focusing on the money. Money will never be enough so stop using it
(or the lack of it) as an excuse. Whatever you are bringing home on the 15th and
30th, there are always going to be things you could do or would do if you had
more. Try taking 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. Getting paid is only one small part of what you do, your work
has to be more than just a paycheck to be fulfilling.
3. Find the significance in what you do. This may require you to think big,
but it can be done. Take some time to really think 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?" Perspective plays a huge role in
personal satisfaction and sense of well being. Try to remember why you took the
job in the first place. If it was only going to be "for now" are you actively
looking for other work? ( to be continued) |
