Here are three career lessons anyone can take away from this years rankings有时候，你看着全球最有权势女性排行榜时，你是否也在想她们能不能给我们普通人的职场生活一些启示呢。以下三条职场经验就是我们从今年入选的权势女性中得出的，对所有人都适合：1.Your own personal efforts trump external conditions1.个人努力比外在条件更重要2.There is no prescribed timetable for success2.年龄与成功无关3.You have to put yourself out there3.不要让自己局限在小圈子里全文阅读职场女人枕边书第五部：未来的你会感谢现在每天学习的你It is very important for you to use your days wisely. Dont let even one day passes without fully utilizing it. And one way to utilize your days is by learning from your daily experience。好好利用每一天是非常重要的，任何一天都不能浪费。要想利用好每一天，那就要向每一天的生活学习。If you really try to learn from your days, you will have 365 to 366 opportunities to learn each year. And thats quite a lot of opportunities! I bet you will be a very different person after only one year. How do you learn from your daily experience?如果你每天都能学到点什么的话，一年就有365到366次学习的机会，这可是大把的机会啊！如果你这么做的话，一年后的你肯定是焕然一新了。职场女人枕边书第六部：对女强人的十大误解做人难、做女人难、做女强人难上加难！在人们的普遍印象中，男性领导者可以拥有丰富的人格，而成功的女强人的形象则往往被刻画为冷酷强硬，事实真是如此吗？今天，就让女强人现身说法，为你揭示对女强人的十大误解。No. 1: Ice Queen误解一：女强人都是冰皇后It is, of course, a Catch-22. “A woman who shows emotion in the workplace is often cast as too fragile or unstable to lead,” Bock said. “A woman who shows no emotion and keeps it hyper-professional is icy and unfeminine. For many women, it can be a no-win situation。”这是一种悖论，“女性如果在工作场合表现出个人情感，会被看做脆弱不可信任，如果不在工作中掺杂个人情感，表现的非常职业，又会被人说是缺乏温柔冷冰冰。对很多女性来说，无论怎样做都不讨好。”全文阅读职场女人枕边书第七部：20个影响你一生的小改变Small, simple life changes can be powerful. Implementing some of these changes can literally change your entire life. How do you change? Take on one change at a time, and go slowly. Implement each change consistently so that it becomes a habit. Dont do too much too fast. What follows is a list of changes that are simple, yet incredibly powerful. Some are obvious and some arent. I hope they serve as reminders of useful changes。生活中一些细微简单的改变有着不可低估的作用。一些改变甚至可以改变你的整个生活。 如何改变呢？一次做出一种改变，慢慢来，并始终如一地坚持，形成一种习惯。不要贪多求快。 下面列出一些改变，虽然简单，作用却难以置信。有些作用明显，而有的不易觉察。我希望下列条目能提醒你去做一些有益身心的改变。1. Walk daily1.每天散步We humans arent supposed to be sedentary human beings. We are born to run, but even more so to walk。人类不适于久座。我们生来善跑，走路更不在话下。Walking every day is good for your physical health. But more importantly, its good for your mind. Walking is a joy. You are outside without distractions. You may even see people. And theres few better ways to boast your mood。每天散步有益于身体健康。更重要的是，它还有助于心理健康。在室外散步，令人愉快，远离烦恼，还可以接触人群。没有什么更好的方法比散步更能带给你好心情。2. Wake early2.早起If you asked me whats the best change you can make this instance, I would say “wake early。”The early morning is peaceful there are no interruptions and no noise. You can wakeup and go for a walk. You can meditate. And you can create。如果你问我什么是最好的改变，我会说“早起”。早晨是那样宁静没人打扰，没有噪音。起床后，散散步，你还可以冥思，或是创作。And waking early is the most productive thing Ive ever done. I often get more work done in a couple hours in the morning than during the entire day。早起是我做的最富有成效的改变。在早晨的几个小时里，我做的事情常常比一整天做的都多。3. Eat less3.少吃Many of us overeat. Lets stop. Eat slowly, and eat until youre full. Eat so that your belly doesnt bulge。我们中的很多人都饮食过量。可别吃太多。细嚼慢咽，吃饱为止。这样才不会吃起将军肚。4. Stop watching, start doing4.不做旁观者Watching is easy. Anyone can watch someone. Spectating isnt inherently bad, but I believe we do too much of it. Instead of watching, do something. Or better yet, create something great。看容易，每个人都可以看别人。做个观众本身并不坏，但我认为，我们看得太多。不要做旁观者，自己去做。如果不小心搞出个伟大创造，岂不更好。5. Go slowly5.放慢脚步Our culture tells us to go fast, to sprint and win the race. Problem is, the race never ends. When you choose to go slowly, you are choosing peace and happiness。我们的文化鼓励我们勇往直前、冲刺、赢得比赛。问题是生活这场比赛没有终点。当把脚步放慢，你就选择了宁静与快乐。6. Declutter6.整理Clutterwhether mental, physical, or virtual takes a toll. The only way to get rid of clutter is to get rid of stuff. Deal with bad thoughts and be done with them. Delete unneeded files. And get rid of unnecessary items. Then when you feel like adding something, ask yourself if its necessary. For the most part, it will just contribute to clutter。不论思想的、物质的还是虚拟文件，一旦它们杂乱无章就会产生负面影响。摆脱混乱的唯一办法就是甩掉没有价值的东西。筛出消极想法，远离它们。删除不需要的文件。剔除不必要的项目。然后，当你想进行补充的时候，先问自己是否有必要。因为多数情况下，这只会导致混乱。7. Become stronger7.变得更强There are many ways you can become stronger. You can refuse to back downbecause of fear. You can stand up for whats right. All do one thing, increase your confidence. Gradually become stronger, and the world will open up。让自己变得更强的方法多种多样。不要因为害怕而退缩，敢于坚持正确的事。一次只做一件事，增强自信心。你将会越来越强，世界之门将为你敞开。8. Drink water8.喝水Often, I used to feel like crap just because I wasnt hydrated. Drink water, and it will make you feel better. Soda and most other drinks often make you feel worse. Drink water and only water (besides maybe some tea or coffee). Drink it with meals and drink it throughout the day。以前，我常常因缺水而感觉自己像个废物。喝水会使你轻松愉快，而碳酸饮料和其它大部分饮料不会带你这样的感觉。喝水，水(除茶或咖啡外)可以代替其他任何饮料。不仅就餐时喝水，其他时间也要喝水。9. Meditate9.冥想The incredible benefits of meditation are well-known. But most people dont practice it because it seems complicated. The truth is, you dont need to shaveyour head, or sit with crossed legs to meditate. The simplest way to meditate is to just sit and breathe. Focus on your breathe. Or focus on the sounds around you。冥想的益处不可思议，这已为人共知。大多数人却不去实践，只是觉得它太复杂。事实上，你不必削发盘坐，像出家人似的冥想。最简单的冥想方式就是坐在那里，均匀地呼吸。关注你的呼吸，或是关注身边的声音。10. Let go of expectations10.不要预期Expectations are completely pointless. Try it for yourself: think of how something will be in advance. Most of the time your expectations arent met or are exceeded or your expectations create negative results。预期完全不着边际。自己尝试一下：思考一些事情的发展趋势。大多数情况下，你的预期不是达不到就是超过。同时，预期也可能产生负面效果。Live without expectations, and you wont be disappointed. You wont have to worry about things you cant control. You will just flow and accept things as they are。没有期望，也就不会失望。不必为你无法控制的事情而担心。坦然面对和接受事实。职场女人枕边书第八部：这十件事请放手 做更好的自己(情感篇)Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. But before you can begin this process of transformation you have to stop doing the things that have been holding you back。没有人可以回到过去，然后重新开始。但是每个人都可以从今天开始，改变自己的生活。在你重新打造自己的人生之前，你需要先停下那些拖后腿的事。1.Stop spending time with the wrong peopleLife is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, theyll make room for you. You shouldnt have to fight for a spot.1.不要把时间浪费在错的人身上。人生苦短，你没有时间去浪费在那些阻碍你获得幸福的人身上。如果对方需要你，那么他们自然会为你腾出空间来。你不必为了在对方的生命里占有一席之地而苦苦挣扎。2.Stop putting your own needs on the back burnerThe most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.2.不要把自己的需求置之脑后。最痛苦的事莫过于爱一个人的时候失去了自我，忘记了自己也是如此特别的存在。如果你从没有追随自己的热情去做一件对你来说重要的事，那么你还在等什么呢。3.Stop getting involved in relationships for the wrong reasonsRelationships must be chosen wisely. Its better to be alone than to be in bad company. Theres no need to rush. If something is meant to be, it will happen in the right time, with the right person, and for the best reason. Fall in love when youre ready, not when youre lonely.3.不要为了恋爱而恋爱。恋爱一定要慎重，宁缺毋滥。感情的事急不得。如果命中注定，在对的时间就会遇到对的人，有着最合适的理由。当你准备好了才去发展一段感情，不要因为寂寞去恋爱。4.Stop rejecting new relationships just because old ones didnt workIn life youll realize that there is a purpose for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you and some will teach you. But most importantly, some will bring out the best in you.4.不要因为过去的感情失败而拒绝开始一段新关系。每个人出现在你的生活中都是有原因的。有些人考验你，有些人利用你，有些人教导你。最重要的是，所有这些人将锻造出一个最好的你。5.Stop trying to buy happinessMany of the things we desire are expensive. But the truth is, the things that really satisfy us are totally free love, laughter and working on our passions.5.不要用钱去买幸福。我们想买的很多东西都价格不菲。但事实是，真正能让我们快乐幸福的东西却是完全免费的，比如爱、欢笑和工作的激情。6.Stop exclusively looking to others for happinessIf youre not happy with who you are on the inside, you wont be happy in a long-term relationship with anyone else either. You have to create stability in your own life first before you can share it with someone else.6.不要专从他人身上获取幸福。如果你对自己都不能感到满意的话，长远来讲，无论和谁相处你都不会感到快乐。所以在你开始与他人分享你的人生之前，你要做的就是要让自己变得更平和。7.Stop trying to be someone youre not One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world thats trying to make you like everyone else. Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be you. Dont change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.7.不要尝试去做别人。人生最大的挑战之一就是，在一个丧失自我的世界中保持自我。总有人会比你漂亮，比你聪明，比你年轻，但他们永远也不是你。不要为了别人而改变自己。做你自己，那个对的人会喜欢那个真正的你。8.Stop trying to compete against everyone else Dont worry about what others are doing better than you. Concentrate on beating your own records every day. Success is a battle between YOU and YOURSELF only.8.不要拿自己去和其他人比。不要担心别人会做得比你好。你只需要每天都做得比前一天好就可以了。成功是一场和自己的比赛。9.Stop being jealous of others Jealousy is the art of counting someone elses blessings instead of your own. Ask yourself this: “Whats something I have that everyone wants?”9.不要嫉妒别人。嫉妒就是只看别人的幸福，而忽视自己的快乐。扪心自问“我有什么是别人都羡慕的呢？”10.Stop trying to hold onto the past. You cant start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one.10.不要抓住过去不放。如果你一直停留在过去的一页，又怎么能翻开人生的新篇章呢。职场女人枕边书第九部：职业发展遇瓶颈-如何打破“玻璃天花板”？身在职场，到了一定的时候总会产生倦怠感、迷茫感，觉得自己的职业发展遇到了瓶颈，不知如何冲破这层“玻璃天花板”，也不知何去何从。下面的十点小建议，也许会让你茅塞顿开。All growth depends upon activity.

Prove that youre capable of handling more responsibility. Volunteer for special assignments。多做一点。向别人证明你有能力承担更多的责任。多干是福。精打细算计时间：白领增值岂能只靠优惠券 2012年12月12日 14:25 沪江英语自己的时间到底值多少钱Forget the whole “time is money” thing. The key isnt that time can generate money, but the other way aroundtime is our most important (but limited) resource, and money can be a means to gain more of it. We face these decisions all the time: is it worthwhile to spend an hour surfing the internet for a discount code in order to save $10? Should you hire someone to clean your place, or do it yourself? It Depends。忘了“时间就是金钱”这件事吧。问题的重点不在于时间能产生多少钱，而是其他一些关键因素。时间是我们最重要的有限资源，而金钱却可以变得越来越多。我们一直都面临着这样的抉择：到底值不值得花一个小时在网上找优惠券只为了节约十块钱？你是应该雇人来打扫家务还是自己动手做？这要看情况。Figuring out what your time is worth isnt about what you are worth
