Out of Box Thinking

All it requires is thinking of problems through a different set of eyes, or different dimension. Sit back and try to solve the problem from the eyes of a 6-year old, turn things upside down, and absolutely challenge the norm. Go outside and sit in a subway station (or somewhere you generally don't sit to work) and think about why your solutions haven't worked so far? What has worked?

When everyone thinks and recommends a lackluster way, lackluster results will follow. Change your surroundings, change your views, change your thought process and come up with a killer idea!

Taking Ownership

A process with a good leader, input from others, and true direction, has a much better chance of success. Be the person that jumps in and takes on a new project (just don't over-commit). An ability to own and work towards success is a skill which gives long lasting returns.

Eagerness to Learn

After a certain period, a job becomes monotonous and people become bored and eventually even lazy. They lose all the zeal to learn new things and although they won't admit this, their actions would make you believe they have thrown in the towel and are satisfied with a status quo life and career. If you really want to move ahead, don't get into this rut. Don't tune out.

Always remain eager to learn; you never know what knowledge or capability will push you up in your career. Remember, you need an open mindset and positive attitude to approach work. If you are constantly learning, it will be tough to be or appear to be interested in mediocrity.

An Eye for Detail

When you master something and know the minute details, your logic and ideas will be highly regarded. While people love to argue, they get easily impressed by intelligent reasoning too.

Willingness to Help

Much of life is give and take. Work is no exception. If you are the person that is constantly stepping out of your comfort zone in order to help others, people (most) will return the favor when you ask. That's the key though, you have to be willing to help someone and not too proud to ask them for help when you need it.

Networking

Your network should never be restricted to people in your domain but it should span other departments too. Again, break away from comfort and get engaged with someone from a different department. A strong network always gives you an upper hand, not only to receive but also influence the information flow.

Solution Seeking Mindset

People love to mention and talk about problems. However, when you ask for their solutions to those problems, they aren't willing to take a risk and offer up a solution. It is these times that a positive mindset can send the right vibes across and can really give you a lot of attention. Don't avoid complainers, listen to them just long enough to hear the problem, then try to come up with a solution.

Humility

Arrogance has its own advantages but it never attracts more people than the magic done by humility. Humility needs to be pitched with much care lest it lets people take undue advantage of you. Strike the right balance and you would see its real magic.

Being Practical

A practical decision made at right time with right attitude has the ability to shower you with long lasting fame. Remember, the people who are at the top are nothing but practical.

Notes:

1. throw in the towel

意為“認(rèn)輸,放棄”。由拳擊比賽得來(lái),把毛巾或海綿等丟進(jìn)拳擊場(chǎng)則表示某選手放棄比賽。

例句:We're never going to persuade them, so we might as well throw in the towel now.

我們決不會(huì)說(shuō)服他們,因此我們不妨現(xiàn)在就放棄。

2. get into this rut

get into a rut是“墨守成規(guī)”的意思,rut的原意是軟地上的車轍,車輪容易陷入并卡住,可引申為“常規(guī),老規(guī)矩”。那么,get into this rut就是指陷入像上文列出的那些消極的表現(xiàn)。

例句:You mustn't let yourself get into a rut.

你不能陷入老一套。

3. tune out

意為“不理,對(duì)……沒(méi)有反應(yīng)”。文中引申為“態(tài)度漠然”。

例句:The children tuned out their mother's commands.

孩子們不理會(huì)母親的吩咐。

4. give and take

意為“平等交換,協(xié)調(diào)”。Much of life is give and take.的意思是說(shuō)“生活中通常是有付出,也有所得”。

例句:A happy marriage depends largely on give and take.

美滿的婚姻在很大程度上取決于互敬互讓。
