Was last year cruel or kind to you, professionally speaking? Even if your career didn't take a hit, the tumult of the last few months may have you quaking in your boots over the future.
職業(yè)方面，2008年對你來說是好還是不好? 即使你的職業(yè)沒有受到損害，過去幾個月的波動也許讓你對未來“雙腿發(fā)軟”吧。

Career coach Deborah Brown-Volkman reminds fearful workers, "Your career is long! Some people work for 40, 50, or 60 years. Don't get stuck in the here and now when what is happening at this moment is just a small span in a long career. Instead, create a vision to help you move forward."
職業(yè)生涯教練Deborah Brown-Volkman提醒害怕的人們“你的職業(yè)長著呢!有些人工作40、50或60年。人的生涯漫長，今天所發(fā)生的情況僅僅是一小段，不要因此而困擾。相反，建立一個遠(yuǎn)景來幫助你前進(jìn)”。

Claim What You Want...
說出自己想要的...

Deciding what you want to do doesn't happen overnight, but, according to Brown-Volkman, founder of a members-only coaching group to help people reinvent themselves professionally, the process can be simple. She says, "All of life's journeys begin with the phrase, 'I want... .' It's a very powerful phrase, and without it, it's hard to go very far." The career coach likens your professional journey to a trip, revealing that if you didn't decide where you wanted to go on vacation, you'd likely wind up at a destination you don't enjoy.
決定自己想要什么不會一日之間出現(xiàn)，但是根據(jù)某幫助人們職業(yè)重塑自我的會員制輔導(dǎo)群體創(chuàng)建者Brown-Volkman，這個過程可以簡單。她說：：一切探索從‘我想..’開始”，這是一個非常有力的句子，沒有它，就很難深入“職業(yè)生涯教練將你的職業(yè)比喻稱一次旅程，說明如果你從沒有決定去哪度假，那么你可能結(jié)果會到一個不喜歡的目的地。

...Or What You Don't Want
或者不想要的

It's hard to say what you want when you're not sure of it. She points out, "The reason certain people can't answer that question is it that it's too overwhelming. But most folks can say what they DON'T want. They can say, 'I don't want to work for a large company,' or 'I don't want a lengthy commute.' The flip side of what you don't want is what you do want."
當(dāng)人們不確定的時候去說想要什么就會很難。她指出：“某些人回答不出這個問題的原因是它太‘(遠(yuǎn))大’。但是多數(shù)人都能說出自己不想要什么。他們會說：‘我不想為大企業(yè)工作’或‘我不想上班路途長’，那么不想要的反面就是你想要的了”。

Fight the Fear...
克服恐懼心

If creating a vision is so simple, why don't more people do it? Brown-Volkman reveals, "People are lost and afraid now, and they're scared to say what they want because they're afraid of not getting it. When it comes to vision, sometimes people won't even say what they want unless they know they will get there or how to get there. But you have to create what you want first and then live into it. It's like a declaration. It takes courage -- and a bit of faith."
如果說建立一個遠(yuǎn)景是一件容易的事情，那么為什么多數(shù)人不去做呢?Brown-Volkman透露：“人們現(xiàn)在迷茫了、害怕了，他們害怕說自己想要什么，因?yàn)閾?dān)心自己得不到。說到遠(yuǎn)景，有時候，甚至人們除非一定能實(shí)現(xiàn)，否則都不愿意說出想要什么。但是你首先要創(chuàng)建一個你想要的，然后用生活去融于其中。這就像一次宣言。這需要勇氣--還有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)信念”

Ask Yourself...
問自己

Are you ready to build a vision for your desired professional destination? Begin by getting it down on paper. She advises, "I believe if you write down your vision and look at it on a daily basis, it's more likely it will happen. Either consciously or subconsciously, you'll take steps to make it a reality." Start with the following 10 questions. Adds the New York-based career expert, "Don't forget to allow yourself to dream a little bit; it's OK to do that!"
我準(zhǔn)備好了為一份渴求中的職業(yè)目標(biāo)建立遠(yuǎn)景嗎? 從寫開始。她的建議是：“我相信如果你將遠(yuǎn)景寫下來，然后每天都看一看，它就能可能實(shí)現(xiàn)。不論從有意識還是無意識中，你將都會采取實(shí)現(xiàn)它的步驟。”

從下面10個問題開始。 來自紐約的職業(yè)專家還說：“別忘了讓自己發(fā)揮點(diǎn)想象；你可以去夢想!”

Get in the Game...
置身于其中...

Once you have a vision, start acting on it. Brown-Volkman urges professionals, "Everybody needs a game to play. If you don't have a game, you get stuck in the day to day. The only way out is to say, 'This is what I want next.' You need momentum and action to move ahead this year!"
一旦你有了遠(yuǎn)景，開始采取行動。 Brown-Volkman敦促職業(yè)人士們“每個人都需要從事一場游戲，如果你沒有加入一個的話，那么就會陷入熬日子過。唯一擺脫這的方法是說出‘這是我接下來想要的’。你需要動力、行動在今年朝前進(jìn)!”
