Office对话:新一年的目标 [ 2006-12-13 10:44 ]
“凡事预则立,不预则废”。新的一年就快到了,你给自己定了什么目标?是升职?是参加某个培训?还是把懒惰扔得远远的,开始健身?先一起听听午休时来自某office的谈论吧。
Jack: Congratulate me, Lucy!I've bought a house so I can marry my girlfriend
this year. Lucy,祝贺我吧!我买房子了,今年就能和我女朋友结婚啦!
Lucy: Cool!Congratulations! 啊,恭喜你!
Jack: Now I have to work harder and harder at my life
goals. 为了我的“终生目标”,我要更加努力地工作了。
Lucy: Life goals?To give your girlfriend a happy life?Good
man! “终生目标”?让你女朋友过幸福生活吗?真是个好男人!
Jack: No, I don't care about her that much. I'm only thinking about paying
back the house loan. What's your goal,
Lucy? 不是,我还没想那么多。我只是想还清买房的贷款。Lucy,你的目标是什么?
Lucy: I have three goals this year. One is to be healthier and more
beautiful. 今年我有3个目标,一个是更健康,更漂亮。
Do you have a life goal?What's your goal this year?If you do, then achieve
it.
不想当将军的士兵不是好兵,不想升职的员工也不能成为精英。老板有诸多激励方式,吊着人的胃口。员工自己可得保持冷静头脑,不能为难自己,给自己定一个跳一跳就能够得着的目标即可,有成就感才有劲头继续往前奔啊。Set
high, yet achievable goals for yourself.
NOTE:
pay back: 偿还。pay back the house loan,还房子的贷款;pay back还有还情意的意思,如“How can he pay
people back for all their kindness?”(他又该如何报答大家对他的好意呢?)
