怎样不做普通人.doc

We all like to think we are special. Better than others. Doing better work. Excelling beyond our peers.Yet, by definition, most people are average。我们都希望自己是特别的，比别人优秀，做更好的工作，超越我们的同龄人。然而根据定义我们能看出，大多数人都是普通的。　　　　Are you choosing to be average?你会选择成为普通的人吗？　　　　Average is What Everyone Else Does普通人就是跟其他人做一样事情的那种人　　　　I was chatting with a business colleague recently. He was frustrated that he had not advanced faster in his career. There was a sense of entitlement and much complaining. （I wanted to tell him that no one was going to give him his dreams。） Instead, I asked him a simple question about his job, “What are you doing that is above average?”我最近和一位业务伙伴聊天，他很沮丧因为他的事业并没有很快提升。他认为自己应该得到但事实上没有，所以有诸多抱怨。（我想要告诉他没有人可以帮他实现他的目标）然后，我只是问他了关于他工作方面的一个很简单的问题，“你现在做的什么事情是普通人做不到的呢？”　　　　In other words, what do you do that is better than everyone else?换句话说，你做的事情是不是比别人做得更好呢？　　　　There was more complaining and a statement about putting in more time than his peers. The conversation eventually ended, but I ran into the same individual a few days later. He came up to me and said, “I thought about that question. And you know what? I dont do anything that everyone else doesnt do. In fact, there are several people who could do my job。”他反而抱怨更多了，而且说自己比同龄人投入了更多的时间。谈话最终结束了，但我几天后又遇上了他。他走到我面前对我说，“我考虑了下你的问题。但你知道吗？其他人不会做的任何事情我也不会做的。事实上，的确有一些人可以做我的工作。”　　　　He finished with, “I am average at work。”他最后说，“在工作上，我只是个普通人。”　　　　Average is as Average Does普通就是按照普通人的方式做　　　　Average is what everyone else does. If you want to succeed, you must go beyond average。“普通人就只会做其他所有人都会做的事情。如果你想要成功，你就必须超过普通人。”　　　　Average is following the crowd。普通人做事情循规蹈矩。　　　　Average is following the standard career path。普通人只会按标准的职业流程办事。　　　　Average doesnt get up early （or stay up late） to work on their dreams。普通人不会早起（或是熬夜）去实践他们的梦想。　　　　Average doesnt exercise or get in shape。普通人不会去运动或是健身。　　　　Average is doing what everyone else does。普通人只会做其他所有人都会做的事情。　　　　Choose Not to Be Average选择不成为普通人　　　　The story above has another chapt
