If you are a relatively junior employee at your company, though you carry out a very important role, you may not always be recognised. You might also face some of the following challenges:
如果你在公司里是一名级别较低的员工，尽管你的职位非常重要，但你可能一 直得不到认可。你或许还面对下面这些挑战：
Little fulfilment at work Long working hours
工作上没有成就 工作时间过长
Conflicting demands on your time and loyalty Little balance between personal life and work commitments Tight deadlines Management pressures
在个人生活和工作责任之间找不到平衡 许多事情都到了最后期限的压力
Strained relationships with the important people in your life
与生命中重要的人关系紧张
Tight personal finances
个人财务困难
Lack of any say at work
在工作中没有发言权
Internal politics and a rigid company structure
内部政治问题，公司组织结构过于严格
Bullying within the workplace
在工作场所内被压制
Few promotional opportunities
很少有晋升机会
You are therefore faced with a number of dilemmas in your workplace.
因此,你在工作场所面临许多进退两难的局面。
On the one hand you want to be involved in rewarding, enjoyable and fulfilling work, get recognition and promotion for your efforts, and be appreciated for the key role you play in the company. On the other hand you want a balanced life with time for the things you really want to do with a full and interesting social life. Of course you want to have clarity about your career, job duties and you want to continue to be healthy, fit and stress free.
一方面，你希望从事有回报的、令人愉快的、有满足感的工作,希望你的努力能 够获得认可,并因此得到提拔,希望你在公司里扮演的重要角色有人赏识。另一方 面,你想要过一种有平衡感的生活,有时间做你真正想做的事，拥有充实的、有趣味 的社交生活。当然,你也想使自己的职业和工作职责一清二楚,你想继续过着健康、 适意、没有压力的生活。
So what’s the best way forward?! How can you too achieve a zen like happiness at work? One key to resolving these seemingly conflicting challenges is to get clear about just how much you love the work you do. Is what you do something you jump out of bed every morning, or would you rather be doing something else? How motivated are you with your work? And how do you cope with the day to day routine office work?
那么，接下来应该怎么做呢?!怎样才能在工作中也拥有一种平和快乐的心态 呢？解决这些表面上互相冲突的挑战的一个关键之处，就是要弄清楚你有多么热爱 你的工作。你所做的事每天早晨都能令你从床上兴奋地跳起来吗?还是你宁愿去做 别的事？你对你的工作有怎样的目标？你是怎样应付日复一日、千篇一律的办公室 工作的？
A UK survey found that almost 2 out of 3 people are dissatisfied with their jobs. And I am sure there is a similar situation in the USA and other parts of the developed world. This means that they are either apathetic about finding what they really love doing or they are resigned to being in this situation.
在英国进行的一项调查发现,几乎有三分之二的人对自己的工作不满意。我相 信，在美国以及其他发达国家,也有类似的情况。这意味着，他们或者是对于寻找自 己真正喜欢做的事缺乏热情，或者是甘于在这种处境中得过且过。
No matter how good things are in other parts of your life such as family, social life and relationships, work is a major part of your life, and not tobe neglected.
Since for now you have chosen to be in the job you are in, it is up to you for the time being to make the most of what you do. Of course in the long term, you can either change your job or even embark on a new career. But for now, you can get to love more of what you do right now.
无论你生活中的其他部分多么美好——例如家庭、社交生活和人际关系—— 工作始终都是你生活中的重要部分，不能等闲视之。
