You may not give your computer screen an
embarrassingly gushing smile and you might not write little love notes during your lunch break. But, there are ways to tell if you love your job.
或許你沒有在你電腦屏幕上弄一個(gè)令人害羞的熱情微笑,也沒有在午休時(shí)間寫有愛的小紙條,但還是有很多辦法能看出你是否熱愛你的工作。
Of course, no job is perfect -- even the best of relationships have their down days. We all have to do things we don’t like. But when you love your job, many of the following should be the case much of the time:
當(dāng)然,沒有完美的工作——即使最親密的關(guān)系也有冷淡的時(shí)候。但如果你熱愛你的工作,下面列出的14條中的許多條大多情況下都是準(zhǔn)確的。
1. You don’t talk about other people; you talk about the cool things other people are doing.
1.你不談?wù)搫e人;你只談?wù)搫e人做的那些很酷的事兒。

leverage that?”
“我聽說瑪麗準(zhǔn)備做一個(gè)新的項(xiàng)目。他們?cè)诟尚┦裁窗。俊薄拔液芟胫利溈四谴问窃趺醋龅秸瓤蛻絷P(guān)系的?!薄把├虬l(fā)展了一條新的銷售渠道;我們有什么辦法能借用它嗎?”
When you love your job you don’t gossip about the personal failings of others. You talk about their successes, because you’re happy for them – and because you’re happy with yourself.
當(dāng)你熱愛你的工作時(shí),你不會(huì)對(duì)別人個(gè)人的失敗品頭論足。你只會(huì)談?wù)撍麄兊某晒Γ驗(yàn)槟銥樗麄兏械礁吲d——也因?yàn)槟銥樽约焊械礁吲d。
2. You leave work with items on your to-do list you’re excited about tackling tomorrow.

許多人在工作的前兩個(gè)小時(shí)就把那些“有趣的”工作先做掉了。
You often have cool stuff – new initiatives, side projects,
hunches you want to confirm with data, people you want to talk to – left over when it’s time to go home.
你經(jīng)常會(huì)有許多很酷的事——新的策劃、支援型項(xiàng)目、需要驗(yàn)證的數(shù)據(jù)、你想要交談的人——在下班時(shí)會(huì)做剩下。
想要下班前完成所有工作?時(shí)間管理【通關(guān)班】? ?
3. You see your internal and external customers not as people to satisfy but simply as people.

7. You don’t think about surviving. You think about winning.
