篇章阅读01：社会生活 Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs? There are two primary reasons. First, some people are convinced that earning a living is wasting time that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their true talents. If this is the case with you, recall your last long vacation. Was it two weeks of complete enjoyment? More likely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun, with another half a week or Boy. I cant wait to get back to work. While all work and no play is not good, all play and no work is disastrous. We need to feel we are accomplishing something. We also need some form of order in our lives. The second and perhaps more prevalent reason for people not to like their work is that they feel trapped. Once youve been at a company for five years and have a spouse, a mortgage and a child, you often feel you have very little choice about jumping ship if things arent turning out as youd planned. A steady paycheck can be the biggest manacle of all. People resent having to do something because they have no other choice. If you find yourself resenting your job because you cant afford to quit. it may be time to prepare what one career counselor humorously calls a cyanide capsule . He recalls spy movies in which the secret agent bas such a capsule hidden somewhere on his body. If hes captured and tortured unbearably. he has an option. And having an option gives him the strength to hold on a little longer in the hope that the situation may change. |
