There are types of people who can grow their careers fastest, that’s true. Do you want to be one of them? So today, we invite Scott Trezise, executive vice president of Human Resources at CenturyLink, to answer the question: Looking back, what advice would you give your younger self about career development? Scott Trezise:
The first advice I would give my younger self would be to work hard and to work smart. For generations, people have learned the lesson that good things come to those who work hard, and despite a world that changes faster every day, working hard remains a constant. In today’s world, we not only have to work hard, but we also have to work smart. We need to be able to leverage today’s advanced technologies to make ourselves as effective and efficient as possible.
To be intellectually curious requires courage—courage to distinguish oneself from the masses. My second piece of advice would be to be the one who asks the first question, be the one who challenges the status quo, be the one who volunteers for the toughest assignments, and be the one who has an opinion that’s different than others. Courage separates the few from the many. It can be scary, but it can also have a big payoff.
Third, I would say to be intellectually curious. Ask questions at every opportunity. In most situations, people love being asked questions because it gives them the opportunity to share their perspectives and impress those who are listening. By asking questions, you’re not only gaining knowledge, but you’re showing those around you that you want to learn. Intellectual curiosity challenges the status quo and creates a path for things to become bigger, better and faster.
Fourth, think analytically: Speak with facts and data. I remember one of my senior leaders telling me, "Scott, you are a great debater, but as long as I am boss, if you have an opinion and I have an opinion, my opinion wins." That was a great lesson. Anyone can have an opinion, but it’s data and facts that carry the most weight. Today, it is the analytical thinker who consolidates the massive amount of available data and synthesizes it into just a few compelling points who wins the day.
Finally, and most importantly, be optimistic. Those who can distinguish themselves by having a can-do attitude are those who grow their careers fastest. Those who believe they can get things done, get things done. Optimism not only breeds better individual results, but it makes all those involved more productive. Optimism simply makes work more fun, but the most important aspect of professional optimism is that it ends up bleeding over into one’s personal life. More optimism leads to a happier personal life and greater career success.
16. Who is invited to answer the question?
17. By what way can we work smart?
18. Why do people love being asked questions?
19. What type of people can distinguish themselves and grow their careers fastest?
选项
A、Ignoring everyday fast changes.
B、Learning lessons from working hard.
C、Using the advanced technologies.
D、Making others more effective and efficient.
答案
C
解析
选项均是动名词短语,推断本题可能问方法或途径。演讲者在给首条建议时讲到“我们不仅要努力工作,还要动脑工作(work smart)”,紧接着对此进一步说明——我们需要运用当前的先进科技,方能提高工作效率,C项概括了录音中We need to be able to leverage today’s advanced technologies的意思,为正确答案。A项利用changes、fast和everyday等原词制造干扰,但这些是在讲work bard的重要性和必要性时提到的,与work smart无关。B项说要从埋头苦干中吸取教训,work hard是演讲者给的首条建议中的内容,且在讲work smart时也并未对work hard作任何负面描述,B项既答非所问,也与录音信息不符。D项利用原词effective和efficient制造干扰,录音说的是我们需要运用当前的先进科技以提高自身的,而非别人的工作效率,D项与录音不符。
