莎士比亞給你的10個職場建議

時間都去哪兒了

1. Brevity is the soul of wit (Hamlet)
言以簡潔為貴,。

Indeed it is. Whether we’re in a meeting, writing an email or giving a presentation, being brief is essential. Your colleagues, readers and audience will thank you for your conciseness.

2. “Go wisely and slowly. Those who rush, stumble and fall.” (Romeo and Juliet)
一步一個腳印地走穩(wěn),，跑太快容易跌倒。

In this age of 24 hour news and breakneck pace,it is a real challenge to find and, more importantly, to take the time to quietly reflect on what we’re doing in our business and why. Sometimes we’re so busy rushing around that we can make some bad decisions. It is important to slow down and consider all the options.

3. “Things won are done; joy’s soul lies in the doing.” (Troilus and Cressida)
得到即是完結(jié),快樂的精髓在于過程,。

We all love to get things or projects done and ticked off our to-do list in the shortest possible time. However, in our haste to get everything done we forget to enjoy the actual experience of doing the task or project.
In business, you often hear about entrepreneurs who build one business after another and never seem to stop. When asked why they don’t stop, their response is that they get the most pleasure when working and striving to achieve something.

4. “Strong reasons make strong actions.” (King John)
強(qiáng)有力的理由產(chǎn)生強(qiáng)有力的行動,。

In business, it’s important to ensure that our decisions and actions are based on solid foundations, carefully thought out ideas and backed by solid facts. What do you think? Do you agree?

5. “We know what we are but know not what we may be.” (Hamlet)

我們了解自己,卻不了解自己的潛能。

Introspection is an important quality in business. It allows us to look at our strengths and weaknesses and to look at ways we can continue to improve and grow ourselves and our businesses. Hard work and perseverance will allow us to achieve so much more.

6. “How far that little candle throws his beams!” (The Merchant of Venice)
一枝小小的蠟燭,它的光照耀得多么遠(yuǎn)!

There are times when we are so tied down by the day- to -day details of running a business or doing our jobs that we often forget just how much we have achieved. People often talk about looking at the big picture and this quote says just that. Sometimes we need to step back and look at all that we have achieved.

7.“How poor are they that have not patience? What wound did ever heal but by degrees?” (Othello)
他們?yōu)楹稳绱巳狈δ托�,？什么樣的傷口不是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)愈合?

Such wise words. We’ve all been there. Rushing around, working towards deadlines, chasing the next deal and never once stopping to listen to our colleagues or peers. You never know – they might have a great idea or they might have a solution to a problemthat has been bothering you. Patience is a virtue in business as well as in our personal lives. We would do well to practise some.

8. “It is not in the Stars to hold our Destiny but in ourselves” (Julius Caesar)
星星掌握不了我們的命運(yùn),命運(yùn)掌握在我們自己手上,。

This can be applied both in our personal and professional lives. You often hear about people who envy entrepreneurs who seem to have achieved success so easily. And yet, when you read their stories you find many failures along the road to success. And never once did they leave their destiny to chance but took it in their hands and steered it and owned it.

9. “And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.” (King John)
為錯誤找借口通常會使錯誤更嚴(yán)重。

Don’t make excuses. They are weak. Take responsibility for your mistakes and make them right. It’s so important especially if you’re looking to establish a reputation and credibility with your business relationships.

10. “It is a tale…full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” (Macbeth)
故事講得再激昂,，也沒有任何意義,。

There’s always someone you work with who will have this great idea and insist that it should be acted upon, but who cannot seem to back it up with real substance. Or the person who makes lots of promises but doesn’t deliver on any of them.（轉(zhuǎn)載）
