话题：﻿管理、职业发展、年轻人、能力提升、中年危机
回答：﻿的确，感觉工作没有动力、没有希望，对未来产生迷茫，都会使人产生挫败感。但知道你迷茫的原因更重要。我今天想分享的是我从另一个角度思考的观点。即：感到迷茫并不是一件坏事。从我的个人经验来看，它其实可以变成一件好事。下面我会告诉你我这么说的原因。Yes,feelingnomotivation,nohope,andconfusionaboutyourworkandcareerisabadfeelingtohave.Andwhyyoufeellostisimportanttofigureout.ButI’dliketoshareacompletelydifferentperspectiveonthistopic.Whichis,ifyou’refeelinglost,that’snotalwayssuchabadthing.Frommypersonalexperience,itcanactuallybeagoodthing.I’lltellyouwhy.我在20几岁的时候，丝毫不感到迷茫。因为那时我没什么野心，也没什么职业兴趣，更没什么真正想要追求的人生。所以就我自身而言，降低期待，是我保持自己不感到迷茫的方法。Upuntilmymid-20s,Ididn’tfeellostatall.That’sbecauseatthattimeinmylifeIhadlittleambition,norealcareerinterests,andnorealdesiretodosomethingwithmylife.Sobasedonmyownexperience,aneasywaytonotfeelsolostistoloweryourexpectations.另外一种不会感到迷茫的人一般正处在鲜有机遇和选择的环境中。问问你们的父母就知道我的意思了。年轻时没有选择的他们，我打赌，根本就没有机会感到迷茫。Anotherwaythatyou’llfeellesslostisbybeinginasituationthat’sabsentofopportunityandchoices.FormosthereinChina,youcanjustaskyourparentsaboutthis.Becauseofalackofopportunityandchoiceswhentheywereyounger,Idon’tbelievetheyevenhadthechancetofeellost.我的意思是：只有在你关心未来和人生方向时，抑或是你面前有不错的机会又面临选择时，你才会感到迷茫。而迷茫的反义词，则是安稳、日复一日和一成不变。在某些特殊情况里，这意味着你被限制住了，不能自由的追求心中所想。有许多人面临着这一残酷现实。迷茫者们需要知道，只有你有得追求，有的选择的时候，你才会感到迷茫，而这恰恰是对你有利的。Mymeaningisthatfeelinglostonlyhappenswhenyoucareaboutyourfutureandwhereyou’regoing.Andwhenyouactuallyhaveopportunitiestopursueandchoicesyoucanmake.Theoppositeoflostisbeinginasituationthat’sfamiliar,routine,andpredictable.Andinextremecases,beinginasituationwhereyouarelimited,trapped,orunabletopursuewhatyouwant.Therearecertainlymanywhofacethisharshreality.Butforthosewhosemainproblemisfeelinglost,youcanonlyfeelthiswayifyouhavechoices,options,andopportunitiesbeforeyou,whichisactuallyagreatthingtohaveavailabletoyou.我在快三十岁的时候，开始思考未来，溯寻答案。很幸运，我的叔叔给了我一些宝贵建议。他是一位非常成功的国际律师。他告诉我说我需要学会拥抱现状，享受你的旅程。他把这定义为探索、寻找答案、体会一切新奇和艰辛的事物。他解释了迈出这一步的重要性，一，因为你永远不会知道你何时会抵达目的地；二，人生大部分时间都在沿路看风景，而不是抵达目的地。WhenIbegancaringmoreaboutmyfutureinmylate-20sandstartedlookingforanswers,Iwasluckytoreceivetheadviceofmyuncle,averysuccessfulinternationallawyer.HetoldmethatIneededtoembraceandenjoythejourney,whichhedefinedasthewholeprocessofdiscovery,seekinganswers,andexploringandexperiencingthenewanddifferentthingsthatwereavailabletome.Heexplainedthatthereasonwhyitwasimportanttotakethisapproachwasbecause,forone,youcannevertellwhenyou’regoingtoarriveatwhereyou’retryingtogo.Andtwo,mostofyourlifeisspentonthejourney,notatthedestination.从这一角度看问题，这既没改变我的现状又没让我快人一步，但它的确让我接受现实更好地面对挑战，让我能够全力以赴。这让我更了解我的现状，使我意识到自己的人生之旅虽然充满着未知和艰险，但依然令人心驰神往。Approachingthingswiththisperspectivedidn’tchangemysituation.Itdidn’thelpmefindanswersanyfaster.ButitdidallowmetoacceptanddealwiththerealitiesandchallengesthatIwasfacing,andthatIwasalreadydoingmybesttopursueandmanage.ThisperspectivehelpedmetoappreciatemysituationandrecognizethatIwasonanunknownandperhapsdifficult,butworthwhileandexcitingjourney.我不敢说我了解面对不安现状的员工他们是什么感觉，但如果你是年轻人，我希望你勇敢向前面对机遇和挑战。积极地去追寻可能使你取得成功的机会，这会让你感到幸福。因为比起迷茫，更糟糕的事情多得多。比如被缚手缚脚，比如感到绝望。只要问问那些没机会像你一样去追求光明未来的人，你就会知道了。WhileIdon’tclaimtoknowwhatitfeelsliketobepartoftoday’sgenerationofChineseprofessionalswhoarefacingtoday’suncertaintiesandrapidlychangingrealities,ifyou’reayoungerperson,Iencourageyoutobegladfortheopportunitiesandchoicesthatareavailabletoyou.Begladforthechancesyouhavetopursuewhatyoucanpotentiallybeverysuccessfulat,andthatwillmakeyouhappy.Becausetherearefarworsethingsthanfeelinglost,likefeelingtrappedorhopeless.Justaskthemanyouttherewhohavefarfeweropportunitiesandoptionsthanyoutopursueabright,promisingfutureforthemselves.
