鼓起勇气

Nerve通常解释为“神经”,但是它也有“勇气”的意思。例如接下来要学的第一个习惯用语:get up the nerve里,它就表示“勇气”。

例句1:I'm trying to get up the nerve to walk in and tell my boss I wanta 20%raise or I'll look for another job where they'll pay me what I'm really worth.

我打算鼓起勇气到老板的办公室去,告诉他我想加薪百分之二十,否则我就要另谋高就,到愿意付给我应得报酬的地方去工作了。

有时候人们用work代替get,成为work up the nerve。我们再看个例子,说话的人很希望向他所钟情的女孩求婚,但却一直怯于启齿。

例句2:I've been going with Susan for three years and I'm crazy about her!For six months I've been trying to work up the nerve to ask her to marry me,but I'm afraid all she'll do is laugh.

我和苏珊已经约会了三年了,我对她一往情深。最近六个月来我一直想鼓起勇气开口向她求婚,但我老觉得难以启齿,因为我怕她会一笑了之。

在外企如何得到晋升机会

外企选择雇员主要从学历、实力等方面加以考虑,对于升职的要求更高、更挑剔,什么样的人才在外企会得到晋升的机会呢?

有中外教育背景。外企不断对本土人才委以重任,与他们对中国本土人才发展的肯定和认同有关。一家猎头公司的负责人说,现在他们向外企推荐的本土高层管理人才中,大部分有着高学历,有留学和出国培训经历的占了90%。

有出色的特长。做外企人,你要有价值(Value),人力资源部门招聘你,就是因为你有价值,他们会依你所长,把你安排在合适的职位,在这个职位上,你应该能完全胜任工作,本职工作都胜任不了的人,他是没有什么前途的,等待他的只有被自然淘汰。

有强烈的责任心。你要热爱自己的工作、自己的职业,也只有这样,公司才会给予你相应的报答。在外企,主动要求给予提升是受鼓励的,因为外企认为,你要求担当一定职务,就意味着你愿意承担更大的责任,体现了你有信心和有向上追求的勇气。

有学习能力。外企认为,一个优秀的员工会利用一切机会学习、吸收新的思想和方法,从错误中吸取教训、从错误中学习,不再犯相同的错误。一个不爱学习的人在当今社会是没有前途的,大学所学的知识在工作中用到的有限,许多知识需要在干中学,一个人不善于学习,接受不了新的知识,新的技能,也就没有什么潜力可挖,无发展可言。

有团队协作精神。外企深知个人的力量是有限的,只有发挥整个团队的作用,才能克服更大困难,获得更大的成功。管理的精要在于沟通,管理出现问题,一般是沟通出现故障,上级要与下级沟通,下级也应主动与上司沟通,不沟通而生隔阂了,再一走了之绝不是好办法,善于沟通的员工易于被大家了解和接受,也会被大家认可。
