大家好,今天我们继续和大家一起阅读《 the start-up of you 》的下一章。
Prioritize Learning
Many people defer collecting full-time wages by spending twenty-three consecutive years in a school. A high school drop-out can make more money in the short run than the guy stuck studying chemistry. But in the long run, the logic goes, a person with a foundation of knowledge and skills will make more money and most likely live a more meaningful life. It's true. And there's a similar belief in start-ups: technology companies focus on learning over profitability in the early years to maximize revenue in the later years.
Unfortunately, for far too many, focused learning ends at college graduation. They read about stocks and bonds instead of reading books that improve their mind. They compare their cash salary to their peers's instead of comparing lessons learned. They invest in the stock market and neglect investing in themselves. They focus, in short, on hard assets instead of soft assets. This is a mistake. We're not suggesting you be a starving,unshaven graduate students forever; you do need to earn money and build economic assets. But as much as you can, prioritize plans that offer the best chance at learning about yourself and the world. Not only will you make more money in the long run, but your career journey will be more fulfilling. Ask yourself, "Which plan will grow my soft assets the fastest?" Even simpler:"Which plan offers the most learning potential?"
了解自己,投资自己,对自己有一个正确的认识,不断的增强自身软实力,这对于我们职业生涯的正确规划也是有着重要意义和影响的。 |
