週三文法 — Achievement-oriented! 你有事業雄心嗎？

跟Tom聊天的時候，聊到這個字 ”achievement-oriented ”。 在當晚的課程中，和在座的職場專業同學們，好好的研討了一下。討論大家是不是 achievement-oriented的人。( So lucky I have a lot of wonderful students! ) 恩，好好的來說一下這件事。 首先討論一下： 〔career 這個字。〕 career, 在劍橋字典中這樣解釋： the job or series of jobs that you do during your working life, especially if you continue to get better jobs and earn more money. 非常口語化的解釋。 career 在Collins Dictionary 有不同的解釋方式： A career is the job or profession that someone does for a long period of their life. ex: She is now concentrating on a career as a fashion designer. 她目前專心致力地把時尚設計視為她的職志。 所以，career 可以翻譯成職涯，也就是說，把這件事當成一種長期的經營。 Jason分享了他的目標: “ I regard myself as an achievement-oriented person. I have a long-tern goal as an software architect ( 架構師 ) . I was asked to be qualified with planning the servers arrangevent including the datebase divided.”

Patricia said, “ I enjoy the process when I overcome the difficulties I met. Even the task failed down at the end, I don't really worry but instead, I treat it as the process itself. I don‘t think I am achievement-oriented, cause I only earn for living. And promotion doesn’t mean anything to me. I don‘t mind quitting the job. “ Sunny 分享： I am interested in what I did. I like to create, and I think I am a groundbreaking person. 於是我說， “ You speak more like you are following the Taoism ( 道）. And you followed the heart flow ( 心流）. So you didn‘t plan what you want to achieve , and you just reach the goal. “ Wei-Cha said, “ I don‘t think I am an achievement-oriented person. The tasks come one by one, and I just finish it and get it. 我問, “ Don‘t you establish anything? Because you followed some political movements, too, like “ WE CARE “. Is it not because you are following any ideal or you have a mission or vision far beyond where we are? “ Crystal said, “ I have a full plan of my life including body and mind. I exercise a lot and I plan to complete the bicycle route from 花蓮 to 台東. I also find the back-up person for the route. I have a long-term goal in my career, but I have to think it over.” Quite interesting, And, Tom, how about yours?
