爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导

The day before he was to leave the Western Union Telegraph Company the fact of his resignation became known to Mr. Gould. The financier told the boy there was no reason for his leaving, and that he would personally see to it that a substantial increase was made in his salary. Edward explained that the salary, while of importance to him, did not influence him so much as securing a position in a business in which he felt he would be happier.

白话

爱德华·博克要离开西联电报公司前一天,金融家古尔德先生得知他辞职,亲自挽留,说没必要走,并承诺大幅加薪。但爱德华解释,薪水虽重要,却不是决定因素;他更想进入一个自己觉得更快乐的行业。这说明,选择职业时,收入固然要考虑,但长期幸福感、兴趣和适配度往往更关键。如果只盯着钱,可能牺牲热情和成长空间。可执行的做法是:评估机会时,把“我是否喜欢、是否擅长、是否有未来”和薪酬放在一起权衡,而不是让薪水单独决定去留。

今日一问

你目前的工作选择中,薪水之外,有没有认真衡量过自己是否快乐和适合?
