How to deal with a job you hate? Well, I’m not going to tell you to “discover your true passion” or “follow your dreams"——because I’m pretty sure that won’t be very helpful. Chances are, you need to stay in your job. So let’s focus on making the job itself a bit more bearable.
如果你痛恨自己的工作怎么辦？我可不打算讓你“發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的激情”或者”追尋自己的夢想“——因?yàn)槲腋铱隙ㄟ@沒多大用。很多時候，你不得不繼續(xù)這份工作。所以，還是讓我們來看看怎樣讓你能夠更好的忍受這份工作吧。
Step #1: Write Down Everything You Like About Your Job
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
* My office has air-conditioning
* I get on well with Sue who sits at the desk next to mine
* I have health insurance
* My salary means I can afford the things I need
* We always have cake or cookies on Fridays
Simply focusing on the positive will help you feel better about your job.
第一步：寫出工作中你喜歡的部分
比如：
* 辦公室有空調(diào)
* 我和旁邊的蘇關(guān)系不錯
* 我有健康保險(xiǎn)
* 我的薪水讓我可以為自己需要的東西買單
* 每個星期五有蛋糕和餅干
關(guān)注這些積極的方面會提升你對工作的好感。
Step #2: Brainstorm Ways to Improve Your Job
Here are some ideas:
* Shifting my hours so I can start work at 7.30am and finish at 3.30pm
* Listening to audio books during my long commute
* Moving to a different office because I can’t stand sitting near John
* Feeling appreciated for all the hard work I put in
* Getting paid more!
第二步：想想如何改善這份工作
比如：
* 調(diào)整作息時間，7:30上班，3:30下班
* 在漫長的上班路上聽聽電子書
* 換到新辦公室因?yàn)槲也幌矚g坐在約翰旁邊
* 對自己的辛勤付出表示欣賞
* 讓老板加薪
It’s likely that you’ll have some items on your list that will be hard to achieve (perhaps you know there’s little chance of a pay rise) and others that you could do within a few days. Pick one thing that you can do right away, and one thing that you could do within the next month. And just do it！
很可能清單上的有些想法很難實(shí)現(xiàn)（比如加薪），而另一些想法幾天之內(nèi)就能變成現(xiàn)實(shí)。挑一個你馬上就能實(shí)現(xiàn)的想法，和一個你下個月內(nèi)能實(shí)現(xiàn)的。然后去實(shí)現(xiàn)它們！
