亲爱的经济学家，

我是一个32岁的美国女人，大约5年前搬到意大利，后来在意大利的一所大学申请攻读硕士。我的政治学学士学位给我带来的平均收入很低，因此我也没损失多少。

我的问题有两方面：首先是约会。意大利是全球老龄化第二严重的国家。在这里，30多岁的单身男性简直是凤毛麟角。除去与母亲生活在一起的男性，剩下的要么是烟鬼，要么比我矮，我就像生活在修道院里。

其次，我的意大利大学决定取消之前的决定，不再接受我的美国学位。我被迫要重修一个意大利的学士学位，这可能又得多花上一年时间。

我现在的计划包括，回国后前往旧金山，尽管我确实也可以选择在某个偏远的地方半永久性地为耐克(Nike)工作。或者我可以留在意大利；但如果我接下来的一年还是单身的话，用我妈妈的话说，我会孤零零地死去的。

喝着卡布奇诺哭泣的人

亲爱的哭泣的人：

你似乎决心留在一个食物、官僚作风和约会场景都不适合你的国家。沉没成本谬论影响了你的判断：你希望得到一个硕士学位、美食和一位意大利情人。然而现实并非像你想的那样，你浪费了5年时间。如果你想再浪费一两年，这不过是人之常情，但你错了。回家吧。

至于你的职业，忘记金钱吧：幸福文学提出，一段幸福的关系和一份安稳的工作更为重要。旧金山并不以单身可靠的男性过多而闻名，但这个偏远地方的人口统计状况却很棒，这里有许多合格的单身汉。你的新生活正等待着你。

Dear Economist:

I’m a 32-year-old American woman; I moved to Italy about five years
ago and later applied for a master’s programme at an Italian
university. Average earnings for my BA in political science are low, so
I wasn’t missing out on much.

My problems are two-fold: first, dating. Italy has the second-oldest
population in the world. Seeing a single thirtysomething is like
finding a unicorn. Eliminate men who live with their mothers, are
chain-smokers, or are shorter than me, and I’m in a convent.

Second, my Italian university has decided to reverse its previous
decision to accept my American degree. I am being forced to re-earn an
Italian BA, which could take a further year.

I’d hate to turn down another degree, but can I handle another year’s worth of pasta and enforced singledom?

My current plan includes going to San Francisco upon my return,
though I do have the choice of a semi-permanent job with Nike in the
middle of nowhere. Or I could stay in Italy; but if I spend another
year single, according to my mother, I will die alone.

You appear to be committed to staying in a country whose food,
bureaucracy and dating scene do not suit you. Your judgment has been
clouded by the sunk-cost fallacy: you hoped to get a master’s degree,
great food and an Italian paramour. Things didn’t work out and you have
wasted five years. You’re only human if you want to waste another year
or two, but you’re making a mistake. Go home.

As for your career, forget cash: the happiness literature suggests
that a happy relationship and secure job are far more important. San
Francisco is not famed for its excess of single straight men, but the
demographics of the middle of nowhere are excellent, with many eligible
bachelors. Your new life awaits.

〈奥巴马胜选演说·文言版〉
东东枪 译

 

Hello，Chicago!
芝城父老，别来无恙，

 

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
余尝闻世人有疑，不知当今美利坚凡事皆可成就耶？开国先贤之志方岿然于世耶？民主之伟力不减于昔年耶？凡存诸疑者，今夕当可释然。

 

It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
今夕之释然，皆蒙美利坚民众之协力——学塾祠庙之外，市井乡野之间，万千父老心焦似焚，苦待竟日，愿献一票之力。其中，平生未尝涉国事者，数亦不少，而今有此义举，皆因一念不衰——今夫天下，非同既往，愿发吁天之声，必成动地之势。

 

It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
今夕之释然，皆仰吾国同胞之齐心——何谈贫富老幼之差、党社宗族之异，惶论发肤肌体之别、志趣爱恶之分。吾国既以“合众”为名，吾辈则更无疏离之意，红蓝二党并肩而立，数十邦州挽手相合，无分你我，共称一家，昂然于世，齐声一呼，天下乃有此释然。

 

It’s the answer that led those who’ve been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
今夕之释然，皆因愤懑者之镇静，忧惧者之勇气，犹疑者之笃定——平素世间种种，消磨其志向，溃灭其梦想，而值此风云之际，除旧更新，当仁不让，倾力而动乾坤者，更何人哉！

 

It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.
俟之诚久，其志弥坚。幸天地明察，乃有今日，乃有此刻，乃有此一选举，乃有我亿万美利坚大好国民——吾邦之大变革，方得自兹而始也！

 

A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.
Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he’s fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they’ve achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead.
倾接参议员麦君凯恩电，虽未得晤，幸有一谈，其言谆谆，其意诚诚，鄙人感佩之至。选战期内，麦君劳碌几重，奔波几许，皆为国家计。诸般求索，时日良多，皆非余所能及。于国于民之惊人牺牲，亦非庸庸如吾辈者所可想见。以麦君之胆魄襟怀，能为吾邦所用，实国家之幸，万民之幸也。前途漫漫，其事未竟，余所盼瞩由衷者，唯共麦凯恩君、佩林君，及诸贤士比肩，会吾等之绵力，成吾邦之大业。

 

I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
乔君拜登，亦吾所感铭至深者也。竞选之业，艰险不足与外人道，幸有乔君之辅佐，其诚天可鉴之。乔君其人，素言恳辞切，意笃情真，盖尝经斯兰克顿街乡邻之提命，饱聆特拉华州父老之晤教也。他日余既登总统之位，乔君必当副之。

 

And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation’s next first lady Michelle Obama.
拙荆米氏，追随鄙人凡一十六年，既为爱侣，更为挚友，既为吾阖家之基石，又乃余终生之至爱。鄙人尝自忖度，倘无贤妻若此，今朝阔论高谈于此处者，不知何人矣！

 

Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the new White House.
小女萨沙、玛丽，余素深喜之。昔日为父尝与汝等言，此番选战若得一胜，愿购小犬一头相赠，待阖家乔迁总统府邸之日，偕汝等同进吾宅。今当胜负已出，既有一诺在前，必自践行不欺也。

 

And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother’s watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
祖母大人虽已仙逝，料必有灵在天，俯察人寰，想应颔首开颜矣。吾奥巴马氏列祖列宗，亦当如是。今日今时，此情此景，鄙人追思之心，乌鸟之情，曷其有极！唯生死陌路，仙凡有别，虽怀反哺之心，而无答报之门也！

 

To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me. I am grateful to them.
至若玛雅、艾玛二姐妹，以及吾家诸同胞，所惠我者，亦属良多，久沐恩德，此当拜谢。

 

And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best — the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.To my chief strategist David Axelrod who’s been a partner with me every step of the way.To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done.
大卫•普劳夫君，大卫•阿克塞罗德君，一为鄙人竞选事务之经理，一为鄙人国事韬略之智囊。余尝自喟叹，左右谋士，余所仰赖者，皆亘古未见之贤才。普阿二君，则更此中之翘楚。区区不才，有何德能，可得膀臂若此？当此功成之际，感荷之心，亦自拳拳。

 

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.
至于鄙人铭之肺腑，须臾不敢忘怀者，则诸位也。盖今日鄙人之胜绩，实诸位之胜绩，鄙人之荣光，实诸位之荣光！

 

I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.
余素朴陋，虽有参选之心，并无必胜之志。谋事之初，银资乏匮，从者寥寥；起事之地，皆蔽寓荒斋，不在高阁；成事之基，无非寻常百姓，涓滴之献。

 

It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.
It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.
今日之胜，有赖一众热血青年，抛其家，别其室，不辞其苦，不计其酬，矻矻于此——“国中青年爱国之心已泯”之谬论，今可休矣！今日之胜，有赖壮志未已之诸前辈，无惧寒暑，行走奔波，劝说民众。今日之胜，乃数百万美利坚民众之胜，察其意，皆属踊跃为国，观其行，处处谨严有序，足堪告慰二百年前开国之先贤——民有、民治、民享之政体，未尝动摇也！

 

This is your victory.
嗟夫！此实诸位之功也！

 

And I know you didn’t do this just to win an election. And I know you didn’t do it for me.You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.
余知诸君之意非在此一选举，亦非在鄙人一身。盖瞻前路之艰辛，益知此任非同小可也。虽今夕欢贺于此，而明朝酒醒，大患仍自当前，不容有怠——两地烽烟熊熊而起，四海之内纷纷而乱，金融业界惶惶而不得宁。

 

Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they’ll make the mortgage or pay their doctors’ bills or save enough for their child’s college education. There’s new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.
是夜，饮宴笙歌之声不绝于耳，而异邦大漠群山中，吾国大好青年，兀自苦戍边塞，惝恍竟夜，性命尚未得安。吾国千万庶民，为人父母者，兀自惴惴难眠，所忧者，乃房宅所贷、病患之费、抚育之资也。至若吾国能源之耗，百业之兴，痒序之教，攻伐之术，怀远之道，亦皆吾等忡忡挂怀者也。

 

The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you, we as a people will get there.
渺渺乎其远，如不可达，危危乎其高，若不可攀。朝夕岁月，焉得成就？余不揣愚钝，愿以四载韶华，付诸此业，胜算何如虽不可知，然昂扬必胜之奇志，成就伟业之壮怀，平生未之有也。君子一诺，其重何如，此地今夕，愿斗胆发一狂言——吾辈既在，其事必成！

 

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can’t solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it’s been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
逶迤坎坷，份内之事。异见争端，料必有之。国中之政府，谅非无所不能者。余所秉承不移者，唯忠信矣。倘有危难于前，必无欺瞒于世。诸君言论臧否，纵悖逆相左之议，余必当洗耳以聆。于此之外，更当恳请诸君，不吝心血，致力报效，以振吾美利坚重兴之业。余亦别无他想，唯盼吾侪协力，延继吾国既肇二百二十一年之大统，汇涓滴之力，而成万世之业。

 

What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It can’t happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.
昔年冬日，余有志于斯，投身此业，屈指算来，倏然近二载矣。当此秋夜，追思反省，仍无溃退逃亡之意。选战之胜，无非一役之功，余梦寐所思矢志所求者，非在乎此。溯源究本，此役之胜，不过革世变时一大好良机耳。倘止步于斯，垂手而待，或无诸君倾力相援，则壮志丰功，无非泡影，诸般梦想，终必虚妄。

 

So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other. Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers. In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people.
爱国之心，报国之念，吾人固有之，然逢今日之世，此心此念亦当一变——吾辈各执己业，益当各竭其力，各尽其命，非但为一己之利，而更期普世之荣。今岁，金融业界动荡多舛，细审观之，当可以之为鉴——实业之损，亦是金融之伤。可知，既在邦域之内，吾辈荣辱休戚，皆相与共矣！

 

Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let’s remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.Those are values that we all share.
党争纷纭，阴谋卑鄙，愚鲁无知，皆腐蚀清白、惑乱政局之弊也，其缘由已久，余今愿与诸君协力，共灭除之。昔年曾有此郡先贤，执共和党之帜，而掌总统府之权。自强独立，自由统一等信念，皆斯人之所倡，亦吾辈之所宗。

 

And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
今岁选战，吾民主党人幸有一胜，然谦逊和合之心未尝少减。余素信服者，乃山河破碎之际，林肯总统之言——“既是至亲，终不为敌。虽弩张剑拔，而血脉未尝断，情义不少减。”

 

And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.
固然，仍有四方志士，不为鄙人所动，另有高明之选。虽终悭此一票之缘，然诸君高论，余亦声声在耳，字字在心。倘能得诸君之援手，鄙人幸甚。他日待余总而统之，亦必不另眼以待也。

 

And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.
吾邦民众，散居天下，各安其命，而其志一也。吾邦鼎盛之势，今已乍现锋芒。

 

To those — to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.
至于心怀叵测，与世人为仇、与天下为敌者，吾邦猛志常在，彼等必取灭亡。心思纯良，久慕大同者，吾辈当倾力以助，鼎力相援。犹疑未定，不知吾自由之邦兴衰如何者，吾辈愿以今日盛况以告之——美利坚之所以谓之 “美”者，非刀兵之强，金银之众，实民主、自由、机遇、梦想之美也！

 

That’s the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we’ve already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
天自有道，地自有德，恩赋吾邦无上异禀——无他，唯变而已矣。美利坚变革不怠，合众国日趋尽善。当以过往先贤之伟绩，助吾侪今日之雄心，开子孙万世之辉光。

 

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that’s on my mind tonight’s about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She’s a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
今岁选战，多开亘古之先，屡传千秋佳话。感我至深者，亚特兰大之老妪安•尼克松•库帕也——库氏之一票，于数百万美利坚民众之选票无异，其所以引人称奇者，其人今岁高龄一百有六矣。

 

She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons — because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.
当其父辈之时，天道不彰，黑人为奴。库氏其生也不逢时，汽车尚不行于道，飞机未曾起于空，库氏既属黑人，又系女流，票选一事，概无瓜葛。

 

And tonight, I think about all that she’s seen throughout her century in America — the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can’t, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.
今日今时，回溯库氏百岁之涯，但见吾邦先贤屡败屡战，且退且进，悲欣交集，甘苦杂陈。幸而正道存焉，壮志存焉，曰：吾辈既在，无所不能。

 

At a time when women’s voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.
万马齐喑，其事堪哀，吾邦女界怒而起，愤而争，苦战不歇，历数十载。幸哉库氏，以百岁之高龄，终得亲见女流自立于世，重获天赋之权——吾辈既在，无所不能！

 

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
当百业萧条，国人绝望哀鸣之际，库氏亲见吾美利坚出旷世之新政，挽狂澜于既倒，扶大厦之将倾，退畏惧之势，扶奋勇之心，终至人各有位，民心乃安——吾辈既在，无所不能！

 

When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.
当吾国良港遭袭，天下桀纣当道，暴政肆虐之时，库氏亲见豪杰群起，民主不衰——吾辈既在，无所不能！

 

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can.
蒙哥马利公车之罢辍，伯明翰城黑人之群起，塞尔玛城血雨腥风之事，库氏般般亲历。更曾亲聆亚特兰大传教之士振臂登高之呼——“吾等必胜！”诚哉斯言！吾辈既在，无所不能！

 

A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.
俟科学昌明于世，创想通贯一时，既登广寒之阙，又溃柏林之墙。洋洋乎！有百年如是，乃见今岁选战中，库氏之一票。浩浩兮！一百零六载交锋更迭，方有美利坚今日之变革——吾辈既在，无所不能！

 

America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves — if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
转眼兴亡过手，而今迈步从头。追昔抚今，不禁扪心而问——俟再历百年岁月，倘吾等后辈儿孙，亦有得享高寿如库氏者，复可见何等之变数？吾辈今日之功，他年可得而见之乎？

 

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.
所谓天命时运，莫过于此 ——当为吾邦万民造安身立命之业，为吾辈儿孙启各显雄才之门，为寰宇各国创太平静好之世，为吾等壮志赋千秋不灭之元神。吾邦立国之本，必将光耀于天下。万千同胞，当如一人，一息尚存，梦想不灭。纵有世人旁观在侧，而疑窦生焉，吾辈亦当以千秋不易之训共答之曰——吾辈既在，无所不能！

 

Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.
拜谢诸君。愿天佑吾民，天佑吾邦。

关于工作与生活（转） 中

三：普通人

　　我发现中国人的励志和国外的励志存在非常大的不同，中国的励志比较鼓励人立下大志愿，卧薪尝胆，有朝一日成富成贵。而国外的励志比较鼓励人勇敢面对现实生活，面对普通人的困境，虽然结果也是成富成贵，但起点不一样，相对来说，我觉得后者在操作上更现实，而前者则需要用999个失败者来堆砌一个成功者的故事。

　　我们都是普通人，普通人的意思就是，概率这件事是很准的。因此，我们不会买彩票中500万，我们不会成为比尔盖茨或者李嘉诚，我们不会坐飞机掉下来，我们当中很少的人会创业成功，我们之中有30％的人会离婚，我们之中大部分人会活过65岁……

　　所以请你在想自己要什么的时候，要得“现实”一点，你说我想要做李嘉诚，抱歉，我帮不上你。成为比尔盖茨或者李嘉诚这种人，是靠命的，看我写的这篇文章绝对不会让你成为他们，即使你成为了他们，也绝对不是我这篇文章的功劳。“王侯将相宁有种乎”但真正当皇帝的只有一个人，王侯将相，人也不多。目标定得高些对于喜欢挑战的人来说有好处，但对于大多数普通人来说，反而比较容易灰心沮丧，很容易就放弃了。

　　回过头来说，李嘉诚比你有钱大致50万倍，他比你更快乐么？或许。有没有比你快乐50万倍，一定没有。他比你最多也就快乐一两倍，甚至有可能还不如你快乐。寻找自己想要的东西不是和别人比赛，比谁要得更多更高，比谁的目标更远大。虽然成为李嘉诚这个目标很宏大，但你并不见得会从这个目标以及追求目标的过程当中获得快乐，而且基本上你也做不到。你必须听听你内心的声音，寻找真正能够使你获得快乐的东西，那才是你想要的东西。

　　你想要的东西，或者我们把它称之为目标，目标其实并没有高低之分，你不需要因为自己的目标没有别人远大而不好意思，达到自己的目标其实就是成功，成功有大有小，快乐却是一样的。我们追逐成功，其实追逐的是成功带来的快乐，而非成功本身。职业生涯的道路上，我们常常会被攀比的心态蒙住眼睛，忘记了追求的究竟是什么，忘记了是什么能使我们更快乐。

　　社会上一夜暴富的新闻很多，这些消息，总会在我们的心里面掀起很多涟漪，涟漪多了就变成惊涛骇浪，心里的惊涛骇浪除了打翻承载你目标的小船，并不会使得你也一夜暴富。“只见贼吃肉，不见贼挨揍。”我们这些普通人既没有当贼的勇气，又缺乏当贼的狠辣绝决，虽然羡慕吃肉，却更害怕挨揍，偶尔看到几个没挨揍的贼就按奈不住，或者心思活动，或者大感不公，真要叫去做贼，却也不敢。

　　我还是过普通人的日子，要普通人的快乐，至少，晚上睡得着觉。

四：跳槽与积累

　　首先要说明，工作是一件需要理智的事情，所以不要在工作上耍个性，天涯上或许会有人觉得你很有个性而叫好，煤气公司电话公司不会因为觉得你很有个性而免了你的帐单。当你很帅地炒掉了你的老板，当你很酷地挖苦了一番招聘的HR，账单还是要照付，只是你赚钱的时间更少了，除了你自己，没人受损失。

　　我并不反对跳槽，但跳槽决不是解决问题的办法，而且频繁跳槽的后果是让人觉得没有忠诚度可言，而且不能安心工作。现在很多人从网上找工作，很多找工作的网站常常给人出些馊主意，要知道他们是盈利性企业，当然要从自身盈利的角度来考虑，大家越是频繁跳槽频繁找工作他们越是生意兴隆，所以鼓动人们跳槽是他们的工作。所以他们会常常告诉你，你拿的薪水少了，你享受的福利待遇差了，又是“薪情快报”又是“赞叹自由奔放的灵魂”。至于是否会因此让你不能安心，你跳了槽是否解决问题，是否更加开心，那个，他们管不着。

　　要跳槽肯定是有问题，一般来说问题发生了，躲是躲不开的，很多人跳槽是因为这样或者那样的不开心，如果这种不开心，在现在这个公司不能解决，那么在下一个公司多半也解决不掉。你必须相信，90%的情况下，你所在的公司并没有那么烂，你认为不错的公司也没有那么好。就像围城里说的，“城里的人拼命想冲出来，而城外的人拼命想冲进去。”每个公司都有每个公司的问题，没有问题的公司是不存在的。换个环境你都不知道会碰到什么问题，与其如此，不如就在当下把问题解决掉。很多问题当你真的想要去解决的时候，或许并没有那么难。有的时候你觉得问题无法解决，事实上，那只是“你觉得”。

　　人生的曲线应该是曲折向上的，偶尔会遇到低谷但大趋势总归是曲折向上的，而不是象脉冲波一样每每回到起点，我见过不少面试者，30多岁了，四五份工作经历，每次多则3年，少则1年，30多岁的时候回到起点从一个初级职位开始干起，拿基本初级的薪水，和20多岁的年轻人一起竞争，不觉得有点辛苦么？这种日子好过么？

　　我非常不赞成在一个行业超过3年以后换行业，基本上，35岁以前我们的生存资本靠打拼，35岁以生存的资本靠的就是积累，这种积累包括人际关系，经验，人脉，口碑……如果常常更换行业，代表几年的积累付之东流，一切从头开始，如果换了两次行业，35岁的时候大概只有5年以下的积累，而一个没有换过行业的人至少有了10年的积累，谁会占优势？工作到2-3年的时候，很多人觉得工作不顺利，好像到了一个瓶颈，心情烦闷，就想辞职，乃至换一个行业，觉得这样所有一切烦恼都可以抛开，会好很多。其实这样做只是让你从头开始，到了时候还是会发生和原来行业一样的困难，熬过去就向上跨了一大步，要知道每个人都会经历这个过程，每个人的职业生涯中都会碰到几个瓶颈，你熬过去了而别人没有熬过去你就领先了。跑长跑的人会知道，开始的时候很轻松，但是很快会有第一次的难受，但过了这一段又能跑很长一段，接下来会碰到第二次的难受，坚持过了以后又能跑一段，如此往复，难受一次比一次厉害，直到坚持不下去了。大多数人第一次就坚持不了了，一些人能坚持到第二次，第三次虽然大家都坚持不住了，可是跑到这里的人也没几个了，这点资本足够你安稳活这一辈子了。

　　一份工作到两三年的时候，大部分人都会变成熟手，这个时候往往会陷入不断的重复，有很多人会觉得厌倦，有些人会觉得自己已经搞懂了一切，从而懒得去寻求进步了。很多时候的跳槽是因为觉得失去兴趣了，觉得自己已经完成比赛了。其实这个时候比赛才刚刚开始，工作两三年的人，无论是客户关系，人脉，手下，和领导的关系，在业内的名气……还都是远远不够的，但稍有成绩的人总是会自我感觉良好的，每个人都觉得自己跟客户关系铁得要命，觉得自己在业界的口碑好得很。其实可以肯定地说，一定不是，这个时候，还是要拿出前两年的干劲来，稳扎稳打，积累才刚刚开始。

　　你足够了解你的客户吗？你知道他最大的烦恼是什么吗？你足够了解你的老板么？你知道他最大的烦恼是什么吗？你足够了解你的手下么？你知道他最大的烦恼是什么吗？如果你不知道，你凭什么觉得自己已经积累够了？如果你都不了解，你怎么能让他们帮你的忙，做你想让他们做的事情？如果他们不做你想让他们做的事情，你又何来的成功？

  

五：等待

　　这是个浮躁的人们最不喜欢的话题，本来不想说这个话题，因为会引起太多的争论，而我又无意和人争论这些，但是考虑到对于职业生涯的长久规划，这是一个躲避不了的话题，还是决定写一写，不爱看的请离开吧。

　　并不是每次穿红灯都会被汽车撞，并不是每个罪犯都会被抓到，并不是每个错误都会被惩罚，并不是每个贪官都会被枪毙，并不是你的每一份努力都会得到回报，并不是你的每一次坚持都会有人看到，并不是你每一点付出都能得到公正的回报，并不是你的每一个善意都能被理解……这个，就是世道。好吧，世道不够好，可是，你有推翻世道的勇气么？如果没有，你有更好的解决办法么？有很多时候，人需要一点耐心，一点信心。每个人总会轮到几次不公平的事情，而通常，安心等待是最好的办法。

　　有很多时候我们需要等待，需要耐得住寂寞，等待属于你的那一刻。周润发等待过，刘德华等待过，周星驰等待过，王菲等待过，张艺谋也等待过……看到了他们如今的功成名就的人，你可曾看到当初他们的等待和耐心？你可曾看到金马奖影帝在街边摆地摊？你可曾看到德云社一群人在剧场里给一位观众说相声？你可曾看到周星驰的角色甚至连一句台词都没有？每一个成功者都有一段低沉苦闷的日子，我几乎能想象得出来他们借酒浇愁的样子，我也能想象得出他们为了生存而挣扎的窘迫。在他们一生最中灿烂美好的日子里，他们渴望成功，但却两手空空，一如现在的你。没有人保证他们将来一定会成功，而他们的选择是耐住寂寞。如果当时的他们总念叨着“成功只是属于特权阶级的”，你觉得他们今天会怎样？

　　曾经我也不明白有些人为什么并不比我有能力却要坐在我的头上，年纪比我大就一定要当我的领导么？为什么有些烂人不需要努力就能赚钱？为什么刚刚改革开放的时候的人能那么容易赚钱，而轮到我们的时候，什么事情都要正规化了？有一天我突然想，我还在上学的时候他们就在社会里挣扎奋斗了，他们在社会上奋斗积累了十几二十年，我们新人来了，他们有的我都想要，我这不是在要公平，我这是在要抢劫。因为我要得太急，因为我忍不住寂寞。二十多岁的男人，没有钱，没有事业，却有蓬勃的欲望。

　　人总是会遇到挫折的，人总是会有低潮的，人总是会有不被人理解的时候的，人总是有要低声下气的时候，这些时候恰恰是人生最关键的时候，因为大家都会碰到挫折，而大多数人过不了这个门槛，你能过，你就成功了。在这样的时刻，我们需要耐心等待，满怀信心地去等待，相信，生活不会放弃你，机会总会来的。至少，你还年轻，你没有坐牢，没有生治不了的病，没有欠还不起的债。比你不幸的人远远多过比你幸运的人，你还怕什么？路要一步步走，虽然到达终点的那一步很激动人心，但大部分的脚步是平凡甚至枯燥的，但没有这些脚步，或者耐不住这些平凡枯燥，你终归是无法迎来最后的那些激动人心。

　　逆境，是上帝帮你淘汰竞争者的地方。要知道，你不好受，别人也不好受，你坚持不下去了，别人也一样，千万不要告诉别人你坚持不住了，那只能让别人获得坚持的信心，让竞争者看着你微笑的面孔，失去信心，退出比赛。胜利属于那些有耐心的人。

　　在最绝望的时候，我会去看电影《The Pursuit of Happyness》《Jerry

Maguire》，让自己重新鼓起勇气，因为，无论什么时候，我们总还是有希望。当所有的人离开的时候，我不失去希望，我不放弃。每天下班坐在车里，我喜欢哼着《隐形的翅膀》看着窗外，我知道，我在静静等待，等待属于我的那一刻。

　　原贴里伊吉网友的话我很喜欢，抄录在这里：

　　 　每个人都希望，自己是独一无二的特殊者

　　　　含着金匙出生、投胎到好家庭、工作安排到电力局拿1w月薪这样的小概率事件，当然最好轮到自己

　　　　红军长征两万五、打成右派反革命、胼手胝足牺牲尊严去奋斗，最好留给祖辈父辈和别人

　　　　自然，不是每个吃过苦的人都会得到回报

　　　　但是，任何时代，每一个既得利益者身后，都有他的祖辈父辈奋斗挣扎乃至流血付出生命的身影

　　　　羡慕别人有个好爸爸，没什么不可以

　　　　问题是，你的下一代，会有一个好爸爸吗？

　　　　至于问到为什么不能有同样的赢面概率？我只能问：为什么物种竞争中，人和猴子不能有同样的赢面概率？

　　　　物竞天择。猴子的灵魂不一定比你卑微，但你身后有几十万年的类人猿进化积淀。
