女性朋友们：给年轻女性的9条忠告

何航

1.So, my unsolicited advice to women in the workplace is this. When faced with sexism, or ageism, or lookism, or even really aggressive Buddhism, ask yourself the following question: ‘Is this person in between me and what I want to do?’ If the answer is no, ignore it and move on. Your energy is better used doing your work and outpacing people that way. Then, when you’re in charge, don’t hire the people who were jerky to you. “这些话你可能不爱听，但我还是觉得有必要提一下。当你在工作场所遇到性别歧视、年龄歧视、以貌取人的状况，甚至是极端佛教徒时，你不妨问自己这样一个问题：‘这家伙会妨碍我工作吗?’如果你的回答是‘否’，那么你大可直接无视他。一个人的精力是有限的，所以你最好把心思花在怎样干好你的工作上，这才是你胜出的关键。等你坐上了管理层的位子，记得别雇佣那些曾经欺负过你的傻帽儿。”
–Tina Fey, writer作家,actress演员, and author of Bossypants 《Bossypants》的作者
2.When you’re doing the work you’re meant to do, it feels right and every day is a bonus, regardless of what you’re getting paid.
“(工作)要么别做，要做就好好做。虽说薪水没少拿，但全情投入(工作)的感觉实在爽毙了，就好像每天都发奖金似的。”
–Oprah Winfrey, media mogul 传媒界大姐大
3.I’ve yet to be on a campus where most women weren’t worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I’ve yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing.
“我还没去过哪所大学，那里的女生不在为兼顾婚姻、子女和事业而烦恼，但我也尚未发现哪所大学，那里的男生在为这些事情而担忧。
–Gloria Steinem, journalis记者t, author作家, and political activist政治活动家
4.Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you’re wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn’t love you anymore.
“有些女人选择追随男人，有些女人选择追随她们的梦想。如果你正在为这道选择题发愁，那么请记住：你的事业永远不会在某个早晨醒来然后对你说他不再爱你了。”
–Lady Gaga, entertainer 娱乐明星
5.You have to ask for what you deserve, and not feel guilty about it. Do not put yourself on sale.
“你必须为自己争取你应得的报酬，而且你并不需要为此而感到不好意思。千万别把自己贱卖了。”
—Suze Orman, financial planner 理财顾问
6.A key component of wisdom is fearlessness, which is not the absence of fear, but rather not letting our fears get in the way.
“无畏是智慧一个关键的组成部分，它并不是指无所畏惧，而是不让畏惧阻碍你前行的脚步。
–Arianna Huffington, author作家 and founder of The Huffington Post网络报纸《Huffington Post》创始人
