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、Because they want to be impressed.
B、Because they can share their perspectives.
C、Because they will be intellectually curious.
D、Because they gain knowledge through this.
答案
B
解析
选项均以Because开头,推测本题是询问原因,听录音时要注意表示因果关系的词语或因果性较强的句子。演讲者提到,大多数情况下人们喜欢被别人提问,因为这样一来他们就有机会分享自己的观点(share their perspectives),并且获得听众的关注(impress those who are listening),B项即为第一个原因,是正确答案。A项利用第二个原因中的impress制造干扰,但be impressed和impress sb.意思不一样,故排除A项。C项中的“对知识保持好奇心”是第三条建议的内容,并非对“人们为何喜欢被提问”的解释。录音中说通过提问,提问者可以学到知识,而非被提问者,故排除D项。
