心灵鸡汤: 3招教你将事业,家庭和自由全入囊中by elizabeth schaeffer brown, co-founder of maiden nation.来自 maiden nation 创始人 elizabeth schaeffer brown的建议a generation after manyprominentfeminists encouraged women to “have it all,” we continue todecrythe absence of women in politics, business and other positions of power. at the same time, even though there is moreopportunityfor women now than ever before in history, someprofessionalwomen argue that we cant or shouldnt want to have it all.身处多位著名女权主义者鼓励妇女“拥有一切”的一代我们，仍然因在政界，商界和其他业界鲜见女性掌权而发起责难。同时，相较历史上任何一个时期而言，妇女在当今社会拥有着更多的机会，然而部分职业女性仍然认为，我们无法也不应该或不应该奢望同时拥有“事业”、“家庭”和“自由”。but is it really too much to have aprominentcareer and a family? must we make just one choice to tip the balance of power?但是，事业与家庭双丰收的希望真的就是遥不可及的吗？是不是我们就只能选其一呢？i dont think so women can have it all, and here is how:我不同意这个观点！下面就要为大家分享一下如何“鱼与熊掌兼得”：define what “having it all” means to you. like many women, i didnt want to work so hard for someone else that i wouldnt have time for a family. not only did i want to have a successful career and a family, i wanted the freedom to do the kind of work i pleased.1. 根据你自己的实际情况“拥有全部”下个定义。大部分妇女会这样想：“我不想因把太多的精力放到为别人工作上，而导致没时间与家人在一起。”而我，不仅仅想事业家庭双丰收，还想要有选择做自己喜欢做的工作的自由。yet working for a branding firm in manhattan, i found myself staying late and coming in on weekends to represent products and companies i didnt believe in. i was frustrated. i realized that what i most wanted morecontrolover my hours and over the people, companies and products i worked with. 2.strikeout on your own gradually, if needed. if you want toavoidwhat anne-marie slaughter calls the “time macho” of male-dominatedcorporateculture, why not start a business or a freelance career?2. 为自己独辟新径如果需要，可以逐步进行！如果你想避免生活在一个如同anne-marie slaughtert所说的“男性主宰”时代的企业文化中，为什么不尝试创业或者做一位自由职业者呢？like any majortransition, owning your own business can be a gradual process. after several years of working for a company, i had enoughconfidencein my work as a graphicdesignertostrikeout on my own and start freelancing. while freelancing, i developed relationships with businesses,potentialclients, and other entrepreneurs who wanted topartnerwith me.如同其他重要转变一样，创业可以是一个循序渐进的过程。在一家公司工作几年以后，作为一个美术设计人员我有足够的信心另辟蹊径，做一名自由职业者。在做自由职业者那段时间里，我与潜在客户和其他想与我成为商业伙伴的创业者建立了关系。i developed an interest in branding andeventuallyin howalternativeforms of cause marketing couldalterthe marketplace (and lives). slowly but surely, i found my way, and gradually built a life of freelancing into a business.我培养了自己在品牌推广方面的兴趣，最终发展到如何利用非常规的，甚至是可以改变市场3. make your own rules. maybe you canaccomplishthe same amount of work in 50 hours that others can in 90 hours. maybe you work better from home; maybe you work better at night. maybe you are morecreativeif you get enough sleep and spend time with your family. maybe you want tomeasuresuccess by results rather than how much time you have logged. or maybe you think your employees will do better work if you treat them well.3. 制定属于你自己的规则。或许你用50个小时可以完成别人90个小时才能完成的工作，或许你在家工作是效率更高，或许当你睡眠充足，花更多的时间与家人在一起时，你可以更富有创造力，或许你更倾向于通过结果来衡量自己的成功，或者你认为当你对员工越好，他们的工作成果越好。in a world where you set the rules and themeasureof success, it is possible to create analternativeculture. it is possible to stop asking to be part of the game (or trying to fit into the game) and start your own game instead.总而言之，你制定的规则，以及你衡量成功的标准可能会为你创造一个“非主流文化”。很可能，现在已经是你应该停止要求成为别人的游戏中的成员，而开始自己的游戏的时候了。over time, i was able to choose clients and associates who shared my vision of a business in which success would bemeasuredby more than revenue, a business that would help make the world a more humane place.随着时间的推移，我逐渐有了选择在企业愿景方面与我志同道合的客户和伙伴的能力，我们认为成功不能单纯的靠收益来衡量，而是要致力于发展可以将这个世界改变成一个更人性化的地方业务。i still work hard, but i choose my own hours, and all my work fuels a vision i have for my new company maiden nation acommunitydevotedto the idea that women can live the lives they imagine for themselves.我一如既往的努力工作，但是我可以分配自己的时间，并且我所有的工作都在为我的新公司maiden nation愿景增加燃料一个致力于让女性可以过自己想要的生活的社区。you can live the life you imagine, too. the first step is knowing wh
