從印第安納波利斯500英里大賽賽車(chē)手學(xué)得的職業(yè)課程

If you don't follow car racing, you might not be aware of the magnitude of the event that's taking place today (weather permitting). This year's Indianapolis 500 is the 100th running of what some claim is "largest single-day sporting event in the entire world." The purse this year tops $13 million, and 33 drivers are competing for the winner's share of about $2.5 million. But these potential millionaires have more in common with you, the working person, than you might think.

如果你不關(guān)注汽車(chē)比賽，你或許就不會(huì)意識(shí)到今天(天氣條件允許)這一賽事的重要性。印第安納波利斯500英里大賽被一些人稱(chēng)為是“世界上最搭的單日運(yùn)動(dòng)賽事”，今年是舉辦的第100次大賽。

For instance, these things are true both for career professionals and race car drivers:

例如以下這些，真正適用于職業(yè)專(zhuān)家以及賽車(chē)手：

You start winning the race before you ever reach the track.

在你還未到達(dá)軌道上之前，你就已經(jīng)開(kāi)始取勝了。

Driving is a sport, but we don't think of it as being an athletic pursuit. That's wrong.

賽車(chē)是一種運(yùn)動(dòng)，但是我們認(rèn)為賽車(chē)并不符合運(yùn)動(dòng)精神。這是錯(cuò)誤的。

Jeff Richter, trainer for driver Conor Daly, says that exercising during the off season makes drivers better.

杰夫·里克特是賽車(chē)手康納·戴利的教練，說(shuō)在淡季的時(shí)候運(yùn)動(dòng)讓賽車(chē)手狀態(tài)更佳。

"When they can operate at a better heart rate, they can make better decisions," Richter tells WISH TV. "They can be more about their wit, they have the strength and fitness to withstand all the repeated forces from turns."

里克特告訴WISH TV記者“當(dāng)賽車(chē)手能夠?qū)⒆约旱男穆士刂圃诟玫臓顟B(tài)之下的時(shí)候，他們就會(huì)做出更好的判斷。他們就會(huì)充分發(fā)揮自己的才智，他們就會(huì)擁有忍受所有轉(zhuǎn)彎過(guò)程中不斷沖擊力的力量和健康體質(zhì)。”

You're better at your job when you're fit, too, and not just in the physical sense. When you continue your education, bridging your personal skills gaps, you make yourself into a stronger professional.

當(dāng)你身體健康的時(shí)候，你的工作狀態(tài)也會(huì)好起來(lái)，這不僅僅只物理的身體健康。當(dāng)你繼續(xù)接受教育，縮小你的個(gè)人技能差距的時(shí)候，你就能讓自己變得更加專(zhuān)業(yè)。

This is also why it's a good idea to know how much you're worth on the job market, even if you're not looking for work right this minute. What you do in your "off season" helps you when you get to the track. Prepare now, and you could win big later.

即使你在這一刻沒(méi)找工作，這也是為何“知道自己在就業(yè)市場(chǎng)上的價(jià)值”是一個(gè)好主意的原因。在“淡季”的時(shí)候所做的事情，能夠在你回到軌道上的時(shí)候，給與你很大幫助?，F(xiàn)在就開(kāi)始準(zhǔn)備，那么你在將來(lái)就會(huì)有更大的成就。
