做职场乐观人
Optimists dream big.
乐观者心怀壮志。
Dreaming is believing -- and if you reach for the stars, you actually will achieve better results.
相信自己的梦想——如果你野心勃勃,你就会获得更好的结果。
As it turns out, there’s some scientific backing to being a pie-in-the-sky optimist.
事实证明,成为一名空想的乐观者是有科学依据的。
In 1997, researcher Gary McPherson studied child musicians, their goals, and their outcomes later in life.
1997年,盖瑞-麦克赫森调查员将儿童音乐家的目标和他们日后的成功进行研究。
He found the child musicians who imagined themselves playing their instrument forever were more likely to have achieved their goal as a professional musician.
他发现那些梦想可以永远弹奏乐器的儿童音乐家更容易达成他们成为职业音乐家的梦想。
So, while it takes more than just a blind belief to achieve success, a little dreaming doesn’t hurt.
所以,尽管除了渴望成功的盲目信念,我们还需要其他很多方面,但是,心怀壮志总是没有错的。
