Ⅰ 阅读
A
With the short amount of time you have on this planet and the vast amount of things you could be spending your time improving on, it only makes sense that you will end up being average or bad at a lot of things and that's okay.
There are some who put so much pressure on themselves to be great at everything they attempt that they find it hard to be happy. No matter how talented you may be, your talent is limited to only a few things.
课时作业(七)
People who are one of the best in the world at something are only average at most other things. Michael Jordan is a basketball legend but when it came to attempting to be great at baseball, it just didn't work out.
Choose a couple of things you really enjoy doing and focus on becoming great at those things. Maybe you'd rather be average at a bunch of things instead and that's fine too. There are plenty of people who are good enough at a ton of things and all it takes is a bit of practice.
课时作业(七)
If you want to be really great at something, however, enough where you can actually make a career out of it, it's going to take a lot of time and energy, which means you'll have less time for other things. That means you'll be average or really crappy at most things.
As long as you're great at one or a few things, being average at everything else is okay. And how do you become great at something? Practice—lots and lots of practice.

课时作业(七)

B
De Luca was 30 when she decided her current path wasn't working. Forced to start at the bottom, a former Macy's store manager and retail and furniture buyer, bravely and confidently took a job as an editorial assistant at Glamour.
课时作业(七)
To get the job at Glamour, De Luca put her past experience into a story. She explained, “People had a hard time believing I wanted to start from the beginning.” Then, not wanting to be “editorial assistant forever”, she got promoted twice in three years, constantly reminding herself of past successes whenever she began to doubt herself.
De Luca stressed the importance of learning, when one is starting over and working with people a lot younger than her. Another thing De Luca did along the way was stay stimulated. Boredom is unavoidable, and you can either allow it to take over or you can manage it. Every time she found herself starting to feel bored, she “made people aware”. Subsequently, she'd be given more work and greater responsibilities.
课时作业(七)
It's this open communication that De Luca has continually found worthwhile—it's also something she learned from her mother at an early age. “If you don't ask, you don't get,” De Luca's mom would say, encouraging her daughter to always put herself in touch with others who may be of assistance in some way. “The people you know, especially the right people, can help you strategize and think through difficulties.”
Making a decision to change careers—regardless of how old you are isn't easy, but it can be done. “If your mind is set on it, for others seeking a major change,” De Luca suggests, “you'll make it happen. In many ways, just knowing you're ready for something new means your course is already in motion.”

课时作业(七)

课时作业(七)
