Passage Two
第二篇
I work in advertising and I like to keep up with current trends, mainly because I'm aware that we live in an image-obsessed world.
我在廣告行業(yè)工作,因此我喜歡緊跟潮流,主要是因?yàn)槲抑牢覀兩钤谝粋€(gè)形象至上的世界。
However, when I first started my job, occasionally I'd catch a glimpse of myself in the lifts, and find myself thinking that I looked a total mess.
然而,當(dāng)我剛開始工作的時(shí)候,我偶爾會(huì)瞥一眼電梯里的自己,發(fā)現(xiàn)自己看起來(lái)一團(tuán)糟。
Was I being held back by my choice of clothing? The sure answer is“Yes", especially when clients are quick to judge you on your style rather than your work.
我是否被自己對(duì)服裝的選擇所束縛?答案是肯定的,尤其是當(dāng)客戶根據(jù)你的風(fēng)格而非你的工作來(lái)評(píng)價(jià)你的時(shí)候。
But no one can be unique with their outfit every day. I mean that's why uniforms were invented. So, here's what I did. I created my own uniform.
但是沒(méi)有人可以每天都穿獨(dú)一無(wú)二的衣服。我想這就是發(fā)明制服的原因。這正是我所做的。我創(chuàng)設(shè)了自己的制服。
To do this, I chose an appropriate outfit. Then I bought multiple items of the same style in different shades.
為了做到這一點(diǎn),我選擇了一套合適的衣服。然后我又買了好幾件同款不同色的衣服。
Now, I never worry about what I'm wearing in the morning even if I do get a bit tired of just wearing the same classic pieces.
現(xiàn)在,即使確實(shí)厭倦了穿同樣的經(jīng)典款式,我從不擔(dān)心早上要穿什么。
Overall, when it comes to work, you have to ask yourself: will looking smarter can enhance my ability to do my job?
總的來(lái)說(shuō),當(dāng)涉及到工作時(shí),你必須問(wèn)問(wèn)自己:看起來(lái)更漂亮能提高我的工作能力嗎?
For some, this question may not be an issue at all, especially if you work remotely and rarely see your colleagues or clients face to face.
對(duì)于一些人來(lái)說(shuō),這可能根本不是問(wèn)題,尤其是遠(yuǎn)程工作,很少見到同事或客戶的時(shí)候。
But if your job involves interacting with other people, the answer to this is often “yes”.
但如果你的工作涉及到與他人的互動(dòng),這個(gè)問(wèn)題的答案通常是肯定的。
So rather than finding a system, I think we should just do whatever helps us to achieve our goals that work.
所以,我認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)該做任何能夠幫助實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的事情,而非找到一個(gè)體系。
If that means playing a safe with your image, then let's face it. It's probably worth it。
如果這意味著要謹(jǐn)慎對(duì)待你的形象,那就面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)吧。這可能是值得的。
